In a week marked by international tensions and political developments, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with US President Donald Trump in Washington on Wednesday to discuss ongoing negotiations with Iran regarding its nuclear program, according to Netanyahu's office. The meeting follows indirect talks held between Iranian and US officials in Muscat, Oman, on Friday.
The discussions in Washington will center on the approach to Tehran's nuclear program. Netanyahu's office stated that he believes "all negotiations must include limiting the ballistic missiles, and ending support for the Iranian axis," referencing Iran's backing of militant groups in the region (Euronews). The US has described its naval presence near Iran as an "armada" (Sky News).
Meanwhile, in Japan, the political landscape is also shifting. Sanae Takaichi, a prominent figure known for her drum-playing and past support for Donald Trump, was holding a rally in Tokyo just before the polls opened for a snap election (Sky News). While the specifics of the election's impact are still unfolding, the event itself drew a large crowd, signaling the significance of the moment.
In other news, clashes erupted between protesters and police in Milan's Corvetto neighborhood on Friday following a demonstration against the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games (Euronews). The protest, which involved thousands, was against the environmental impact of the Games and the presence of US agents in Italy. Some protesters threw objects and firecrackers toward police, who responded with water cannons and tear gas.
