As tensions rise, Qatar and the United States are nearing the finalization of a crucial defense cooperation agreement. The arrangement follows Israel's controversial strike in Doha, as top U.S. diplomat Marco Rubio confirmed ongoing efforts to solidify the partnership.

Meanwhile, Denmark is allocating $253 million to enhance Greenland's infrastructure and healthcare. The strategic move comes amid heightened global interest in the resource-rich Arctic island, and after a previous indication by former U.S. President Donald Trump expressing intentions to control Greenland.

In other news, the world mourns the death of legendary actor and director Robert Redford at age 89. Redford, renowned for his significant contributions to the film industry and independent cinema through his Sundance Institute, passed away surrounded by loved ones at his home in Utah.
