Israele

U.S. CIA Director William Burns and the head of Israel's Mossad intelligence service, David Barnea, will meet with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in Europe this weekend for talks on a second potential Gaza hostage deal, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.

At least 20 people were killed and 150 wounded on Thursday after a crowd of people waiting for humanitarian aid at a roundabout in Gaza City was struck by Israeli fire, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

A representative of Ukrainian defence intelligence [Andriy Yusov] has told the BBC that he "does not exclude" the possibility there were Ukrainian prisoners on board the Russian military plane that came down in Belgorod.
However, Andriy Yusov stressed that Russia had provided no proof to back its claims there were [...] [and he] accused Moscow of "hiding" information, with limited images from the crash site - including of any dead.
Asked whether it was possible Ukraine had shot down the military plane, Mr Yusov said: "We do not confirm such information."

Reuters aggiunge:

A senior Russian lawmaker said Ukrainian military intelligence had been given a 15-minute warning before the Russian military transport plane carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war entered an area where it was shot down. [...] Ukraine denied that it was given a warning.
The United Nations Security Council met on Thursday at the request of Russia to discuss the downed plane. The U.N. was not in a position to verify the circumstances of the crash, U.N. political affairs chief Rosemary DiCarlo told the council.

Ukraine expects to start construction work on four new nuclear power reactors this summer or autumn, Energy Minister German Galushchenko told Reuters on Thursday, as the country seeks to compensate for lost energy capacity due to the war with Russia.
Two of the units - which include reactors and related equipment - will be based on Russian-made equipment that Ukraine wants to import from Bulgaria, while the other two will use Western technology from power equipment maker Westinghouse.
All four reactors will be built at the Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant in the west of Ukraine, Galushchenko added.

A St. Petersburg court sentenced Darya Trepova to 27 years in prison for the killing of pro-Kremlin military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky last April.
Trepova, who faced terrorism, explosives trafficking and document forgery charges, admitted guilt only to the latter. She insisted she was framed, unaware the statuette she gave Tatarsky at a St. Petersburg café had been booby-trapped with a bomb.
Trepova claimed she acted on instructions from “Gestalt” — a handler in Ukraine. She said she met him through Ukraine-based journalist Roman Popkov. Gestalt allegedly sent her money and orders for months before Tatarsky’s killing.
Russian investigators have accused Popkov in absentia of “orchestrating the execution of a terrorist act.”

Nord America

USA:

The U.S. and Iraq said Thursday they plan to begin high-level talks that would lead to the departure of the American-led military coalition in Iraq while keeping the door open for a continued role for U.S. troops in assisting Iraqi forces.
A statement issued by the Iraqi government stressed that the two sides would set a “specific and clear timetable” for the departure of foreign troops on Iraqi territory and would initiate “gradual and deliberate reductions.”
U.S. officials, in contrast, stressed that any decisions about the reduction in forces should be based on assessments of the threat posed by Islamic State militants, operational requirements and the capabilities of Iraq’s military [...]
Both sides, however, say they are interested in sketching out a longer-term military and security cooperation relationship between Iraq and the U.S.

Medio Oriente

Turchia:

Turkey's president finally approved Sweden's bid to join NATO on Thursday, ending months of delay and leaving only Hungary standing in the way of Stockholm's membership of the military alliance.
The delay had frustrated some of Ankara's allies but allowed it to extract certain concessions: Ankara will now expect the United States to begin working on securing the U.S. Congress' endorsement for a sale of $20 billion worth of F-16 fighter jets to Turkey, which both Erdogan and members of Congress had linked to Sweden's ratification.
