In a significant move, Saudi Arabia is set to clear Syria's debts with the World Bank, according to insider sources. This unprecedented initiative would enable reconstruction and support for Syria's public sector, marking a shift in Saudi-Syrian financial relations since the fall of Bashar al-Assad last year.

Talks mediated in Cairo aimed at reinstating a Gaza ceasefire and negotiating the release of Israeli hostages ended without resolve, sources from Palestine and Egypt disclosed. The impasse continues as Hamas insists on a breakthrough that halts ongoing Gaza conflict.

On the diplomatic front, President Trump is scheduled to discuss deportation policies in his meeting with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. This comes amid growing tensions over the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador under Trump's administration.
