18.03.2025 ⇢ Gaza Ceasefire Collapses As Trump Charts Ukraine Path
⌨
The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that had held since January collapsed as Israel launched extensive airstrikes across Gaza, with reported Palestinian casualties rising from 130 in early morning reports to over 400 by midday. Fox News attributed the collapse to Hamas breaking the hostage deal, while The Daily Beast reported Trump had given Israel "the go-ahead" for the bombing.
By afternoon, attention shifted to Trump's 90-minute call with Putin, resulting in an agreement for a limited ceasefire on energy infrastructure targets in Ukraine, described as a "first step" toward peace talks. Meanwhile, Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare public rebuke of Trump's calls to impeach judges who ruled against his deportation plans.
Evening brought a federal judge's ruling that DOGE's dismantling of USAID likely violated the Constitution, blocking Musk's agency from further action. The day concluded with the safe return of NASA astronauts Williams and Wilmore, ending their unplanned 286-day mission.
