US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will stop providing Israel with around $4 billion in annual aid by the end of 2026. Trump claims Israel no longer needs the money. However, his own comments suggest there may be another reason behind the decision. Speaking to Fox News, Trump said that US funding for Israel had become a "bad talking point". He said, "We were giving them $4 billion. We are. But it gets cut off at the end of the year. Why? Because they don't need it. "Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like El-Sayed when they don't need it? It's a bad talking point." His remarks suggest that openly funding Israel has become increasingly difficult to defend politically, particularly as public opposition to Israel grows in the United States. But questions remain over what this announcement actually means. The US already has a military aid agreement with Israel that runs until 2028, and the two countries have extensive military and defence partnerships.

Senior defence and security officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye are set to meet Iranian leaders in Tehran today (26 October) for high-level talks aimed at easing regional tensions and strengthening cooperation. According to Iran, the talks will address Israel’s expansionist policies, developments in Palestine and Lebanon, and the consequences of US and Israeli military attacks on Iran. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei welcomed the meeting, saying: “Tehran’s hosting of senior military and security officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye is a key development toward establishing regional diplomacy. Lasting stability and security in the Middle East can only be achieved by relying on the region’s own countries, and this meeting could pave the way for broader cooperation.”

The 27-year-old man who saved 18 children by jumping onto a moving school bus and bringing it safely to a stop after the driver suffered a medical emergency has revealed that a verse from the Qur’an inspired his heroic actions. Ebro Ahmed told The Guardian that the verse, “Whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity,” came to mind when he decided to intervene on Monday. He added: “I didn’t do it for me. It was selflessness in the name of God.” May Allah bless him!

Türkiye, Qatar, Pakistan and Indonesia have signed a defence pact named “Badr”. The defence ministers of Türkiye, Qatar, Pakistan and Indonesia have signed a memorandum of understanding in Doha, Qatar, establishing a defence industry cooperation pact. The agreement covers joint production, research and development, and technical military training, with each country contributing its own military production capabilities. The aim is to bring existing projects into a wider framework involving all four nations. The name Badr means “full moon” in Arabic and may also be a reference to the historic Battle of Badr, a battle in early Islamic history fought during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

20-year-old Mohammed Naim Islam was visiting Snowdon, Wales, with some friends. As Maghrib approached, he went to a nearby lake to make wudhu. As he was doing so, strong winds pushed him into the water. However, Naim did not know how to swim. Emergency crews soon arrived and recovered his body. The Prophet (peace be upon him said) “The martyrs are five: the one who dies from the plague, the one who dies from a stomach illness, the one who drowns, the one who dies beneath a collapsed building, and the martyr who is killed in the cause of Allah.” Sahih al-Bukhari May Allah have mercy on Naim, accept him as a martyr, and grant him the highest level of Jannah. Ameen.
