West Bank Land Registration Begins; Talks on Ukraine War Continue

Israel announced plans to begin a contentious land registration process in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, while officials from Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. are scheduled to meet in Geneva this week to discuss ending the ongoing war. These developments come as world leaders recently convened in Munich to discuss the future of Europe, and new research suggests early Mars was warm and wet, not icy.

According to a government decision, Israel's land regulation process in the West Bank could give Israel control over large areas for future development, as reported by The Associated Press. This initiative paves the way for the resumption of "settlement of land title" processes, which had been frozen in the West Bank. Palestinians in the West Bank are facing a deepening economic crisis since the Gaza war.

Meanwhile, officials from Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. will meet in Geneva on Tuesday for another round of talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, which is nearing its fourth anniversary, as reported by NPR.

In other international news, world leaders recently met in Munich to discuss the future of Europe. NPR's Leila Fadel spoke with Kurt Volker, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO, for his takeaways following this year's Munich Security Conference.

In the realm of science, a recent study indicated that early Mars was warm and wet billions of years ago, contrasting with the theory that this era was mainly cold and icy, according to Phys.org. The findings have implications for the idea that life could have developed on the planet at this time.

In domestic news, information on how to register to vote and check registration status was updated on February 13, 2026, according to NPR staff. Some states and territories have multiple deadlines depending on the voter registration method. Military and overseas citizen voters may have different registration deadlines.
