The Ukraine-Russia war marked its 1000th day with significant escalations. The West, notably the US and UK, significantly bolstered Ukraine's military by providing longer-range ATACMS missiles, Storm Shadow missiles, and anti-personnel landmines. Meanwhile, Russia raised the nuclear stakes, altering its nuclear doctrine and deploying a new missile, "Oreshnik," to strike Ukraine. President Putin warned the conflict had "global" implications, while the US prepares for the potential return of Donald Trump, signaling possible shifts in diplomatic approaches. These moves signal both heightened military involvement and the global stakes of the war.

Canada has confirmed it will comply with the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed Canada’s commitment to international law, stating, "We stand up for international law, and we will abide by all the regulations and rulings of the international courts." The ICC issued the warrant for Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant over alleged "crimes against humanity" linked to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. This follows the UK’s stance to arrest Netanyahu if he travels there. Other nations, including Belgium and France, have also pledged to uphold the ICC decision.

An Israeli airstrike flattened an eight-storey residential building in central Beirut's Basta district early Saturday, killing at least 11 people and injuring more than 60, according to Lebanon's health ministry. The pre-dawn attack, involving five missiles, left the area in ruins, with rescue teams searching for survivors in the rubble. Local resident Nemir Zarariya described the chaos: “Dust, wrecked houses, people running and screaming.” The strike, part of Israel’s intensified campaign against Hezbollah, is the fourth in Beirut this week. The Israeli Defense Forces later targeted Hezbollah command sites, escalating hostilities in the ongoing conflict.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu risks arrest if he visits the UK following an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza. The ICC also issued warrants for former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif. Downing Street stated it would comply with legal obligations under the ICC Act 2001, which mandates action on endorsed warrants. Netanyahu condemned the warrant as “antisemitic,” while the UK government emphasized dialogue with Israel as a key partner. US President Joe Biden criticized the decision, calling it “outrageous.” The warrant’s enforcement depends on ICC member states.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces arrest in 124 International Criminal Court (ICC) member countries for alleged war crimes in the Gaza conflict. ICC issued warrants for Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, citing crimes against humanity committed between October 2023 and May 2024. Nations like Ireland, Canada, and Italy confirmed their readiness to arrest him, while allies such as Hungary and the US denounced the decision. The Hague-based court relies on member state cooperation for enforcement. Netanyahu dismissed the warrant as politically motivated. Other countries, including Germany and France, are reviewing their positions on the ICC ruling.

A controlled explosion was conducted near the US Embassy in London after a suspicious package was found. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the item was a hoax, and the embassy resumed normal operations. Separately, Gatwick Airport’s South Terminal was evacuated after a "prohibited item" was found in luggage, prompting the deployment of a bomb squad. The incident caused significant disruptions, including road closures and the railway station shutdown. Sussex Police urged the public to avoid the area. Both incidents are under investigation, with authorities emphasizing safety measures and monitoring updates.

The Kremlin has warned the West after Russia launched a "hypersonic missile" in Ukraine, calling it a response to "Western escalation." Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasized that the missile, which "cannot be intercepted by current defense systems," and President Vladimir Putin’s recent address were "clear messages" to the US and its allies. Peskov reiterated that "Western actions," including missile supplies to Ukraine, would "not go unchallenged." While tensions rise, Russia remains "open to talks" with the US. The missile launch further intensifies the ongoing conflict between Russia and Western nations.

Gatwick Airport’s South Terminal was evacuated on November 22, 2024, after a security incident, leaving thousands of passengers stranded outside. The airport, the second busiest in the UK, confirmed the ongoing investigation into the incident. Passengers were seen waiting in car parks and streets, as bus and train services to the airport were disrupted. The airport assured that passenger safety remained a priority. This incident coincided with a controlled explosion carried out by UK police near the US Embassy in London after a suspicious package was found, though it remains unclear if the events are connected.

"World War III has begun," declared Valery Zaluzhny, former Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief, citing global involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war. He emphasized, "Ukraine is no longer facing Russia alone. North Korean soldiers and Iranian drones targeting civilians prove the conflict's international scale." Dismissed in February, Zaluzhny urged greater support, stating, "With advanced technology, Ukraine can endure, but victory is uncertain." Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin unveiled a hypersonic missile, Oreshnik, warning it could strike Ukraine's allies. He asserted, "We have the right to use weapons against those enabling attacks on us." The conflict's escalation signals severe global consequences.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes related to Gaza. While Israel does not recognize the ICC's authority, 124 countries that are parties to the Rome Statute are legally obliged to enforce these warrants. These countries include major European nations, Australia, and others across six continents. As Netanyahu and Gallant could face detention in these countries, the move adds pressure on Israel’s leadership amidst ongoing tensions.
