Donald Trump’s shock victory in the United States election this week revealed fundamental flaws with the Democratic Party establishment, the news outlets in its corner and how they approach the voting public.

European leaders meet and the consequences of Donald Trump's election dominate talks. US-EU trade, backing for Ukraine in its war against Russia, and the future of NATO are all under scrutiny. So what's in store for Europe once Trump is back in power?

In West Palm Beach, Trump thanked supporters, hailing his movement as "the greatest political movement of all time." He promised to “help our country heal” and vowed to create a "golden age of America" for future generations. Trump celebrated Republicans’ Senate win with 51 seats and claimed they were on track to win the House, though results remain uncertain. He reiterated plans to strengthen immigration policies and drive US prosperity. The speech featured his typical rhetorical style, with nods to allies and praise for Elon Musk’s recent rocket launch.

One of the few partially functioning hospitals in northern Gaza is Kamal Adwan Hospital. Israeli fighter jets targeted a section of the facility, where medical supplies delivered by the World Health Organization were being stored. The attack destroyed most of the critically needed supplies, that were received only days ago. Kamal Adwan has been struggling to provide medical assistance to the surge in patients from Israel's assault on the north. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza has condemned ongoing attacks by Israeli forces on the besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern part of the enclave.

A warning that some of the images we have from the attack are graphic. At least 55 people have been killed by an Israeli attack on Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza. The strikes targeted a five-story residential building where displaced families were sheltering. Dozens more people are still trapped under the rubble. The north of Gaza has been under an Israeli siege for nearly a month.

Israel's parliament has passed a law, banning the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. UNRWA has condemned the ban, calling it outrageous. The ban will significantly restrict UNRWA's activities across occupied East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made his first comments about the “malignant” Israeli attack on Iran early Saturday in a meeting with the families of the four members of the armed forces who were killed. The Israelis try to make the impact of the strikes appear larger than reality, but any move inside Iran to make them appear smaller would also be “wrong”, he said. “It would be wrong for us to say that it was nothing and it did not matter,” Khamenei said. “The calculation error of the Zionist regime must be disrupted. They do not know Iran, its youth, its nation. They have not yet been able to fully comprehend the power, capabilities, initiative and will of the Iranian nation, we must make them understand it.” Khamenei also opened a Hebrew account on X after the Israeli strikes.

Israeli military has targeted Beit Lahiya in the north of the Gaza Strip, in a strike that's killed up to 100 Palestinians. Dozens of others have been injured and the death toll is expected to rise. Northern Gaza has been under an Israeli siege for more than 15 days. The United Nations is warning Palestinians are being forced to endure "unspeakable horrors". And in Deir el-Balah, in central Gaza, at least one air strike hit a residential building near Nuseirat refugee camp.
