Tensions escalate in the West Bank after a deadly shooting near Al-Mughayyir village in the Ramallah area left two Palestinians dead and at least four others injured, according to the Red Crescent. The victims have been identified as a 14-year-old school student and a 32-year-old local resident. The incident unfolded near the outskirts of the village, alarmingly close to a school where children were present at the time. Eyewitness accounts suggest that a group of settlers, reportedly in a mix of civilian clothing and uniforms, were seen moving with livestock near the school area before the situation spiraled. The teenage victim was fatally shot after stepping outside the school premises during the escalation. WATCH

Tensions between Washington and Tehran are once again at a critical flashpoint. In a high-stakes interview with CNBC, Donald Trump has made it clear that the US could resume military strikes on Iran if a ceasefire agreement is not reached before the fast-approaching deadline. Doubling down on a hardline stance, Trump openly stated, “I expect to be bombing,” framing it as a pressure tactic to push Iran toward a deal. He dismissed any possibility of extending the deadline, asserting, “I don’t want to do that,” while emphasizing that time is rapidly running out. With remarks like “we don’t have that much time” and “the military is raring to go,” the message from Washington signals urgency, preparedness and a willingness to escalate if negotiations fail. WATCH
