In an unexpected development, U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly inquired about the Nobel Peace Prize during a trade tariff discussion with Norway's finance minister. Trump's push for international accolades comes as several nations, including Israel and Pakistan, have nominated him for peace efforts, according to Norwegian daily Dagens Naeringsliv.

Amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, Mossad's chief, David Barnea, is in Qatar to reignite Gaza peace negotiations, Israeli officials shared with Reuters. This move comes as part of Israel's renewed efforts to stabilize political relations in the region.

Meanwhile, the U.N. Commission accused both interim Syrian government forces and former rulers' loyalists of committing war crimes in Syria's coastal massacres, resulting in approximately 1,400 civilian deaths. This raises concerns about continued violations as reports of kidnappings persist.
