Reports: Iran and Israel Pause Attacks

Iran claims to have ended its latest military operation against Israel, which began with rockets fired on Sunday, AFP reports. Iran has attacked Israel again on Monday after the Israeli military struck Iranian targets during the night and morning.

Iran is also threatening to resume attacks if Israel continues to attack Lebanon.

Shortly afterwards, sources for Israel's Channel 12 state that Israel is also pausing its attacks. However, the source adds that Israel will continue to attack Beirut's southern suburbs if Hezbollah attacks Israeli cities, Reuters reports.

The news comes shortly after US President Donald Trump demanded that both Israel and Iran stop attacking each other.

Political situation in Kosovo
Difficult negotiations await in Kosovo after the new election

Kosovo's incumbent Prime Minister Albin Kurti received the most votes in the new election on Sunday, but lacks a majority. His party received almost 43 percent of the vote, eight percentage points less than in the last election.

Since the party did not get a majority, tough coalition negotiations are now expected, AFP reports. The country has been in a political crisis since the parliamentary elections in February 2025. The country has held three elections in the past year and the parliament is divided.

It is unclear whether Kurti will manage to form a government this time.
