World Leaders Tackle Europe's Future, Ukraine War

Israel announced it would begin a contentious land regulation process in a large part of the occupied West Bank, potentially giving it control over significant areas for future development, according to a government decision on Sunday, February 15, 2026. Simultaneously, officials from Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. were scheduled to meet in Geneva on Tuesday for further talks aimed at ending the ongoing war, as the conflict neared its fourth anniversary.

The land regulation process in the West Bank paves the way for the resumption of "settlement of land title" processes, which had been frozen previously. This move has raised concerns, as it could exacerbate existing tensions in the region. Palestinians in the West Bank are facing a deepening economic crisis since the Gaza war.

Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, an Islamist party, Jamaat-e-Islami, became the main opposition for the first time in the country's history. The party's 11-party alliance secured 77 of 300 seats in recent polls, according to final results. This shift challenges the established political system, despite ongoing concerns about the party's policies.

World leaders also convened in Munich to discuss the future of Europe. Kurt Volker, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO, shared his takeaways from the Munich Security Conference. The details of the discussions were not available in the provided sources.

In other news, voters were reminded of the importance of registering to vote and checking their registration status. Some states and territories have multiple deadlines, depending on the voter registration method. Military and overseas citizen voters may have different registration deadlines.
