Human Rights Watch has urged Lebanon to pursue justice two years after an Israeli strike killed a Reuters journalist and wounded six others, including two from AFP.

The October 13, 2023 attack killed Issam Abdallah and wounded two of his colleagues from Reuters, as well as two people from broadcaster Al Jazeera, and AFP's Dylan Collins and Christina Assi as they were working in south Lebanon near the Israeli border.

Several people were killed over the weekend in Gaza City in violent clashes between Hamas security forces and the members of an armed clan, multiple sources reported on Monday.

President Joseph Aoun on Monday called for negotiations with Israel, after U.S. President Donald Trump brokered a ceasefire in Gaza.

"The Lebanese state has previously negotiated with Israel under American and United Nations auspices, resulting in an agreement to demarcate the maritime border... so what prevents the same thing from happening again to find solutions to the outstanding issues," Aoun said according to a presidency statement.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he wanted a peace deal with Iran, after the United States joined Israel in striking the Islamic republic's nuclear sites during a brief war earlier this year.

"They got it from one side, from the other, and you know it would be great if we could make a peace deal with them," Trump said of Iran during a speech to Israel's parliament.

Top Ukrainian officials were traveling to Washington for defense talks with U.S. officials, the presidential office said Monday, as Russia intensifies attacks on Ukraine's energy grid and Washington weighs the delivery of long-range missiles.

The team, led by Ukraine's Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, will discuss "strengthening our air defense and strike capabilities" and "enhancing (energy) resilience before winter," Andriy Yermak, chief of staff to President Volodymyr Zelensky, said on social media.

The European Union's top diplomat Kaja Kallas said Monday that Russia was "gambling with war", after a spate of Russian drones and military jets crossing into the bloc's airspace.

"Every time a Russian drone or plane violates our airspace, there is a risk of escalation, unintended or not. Russia is gambling with war," she said during a visit to Kyiv, calling on Europe needs to beef up its defense capabilities.

Hamas released all 20 remaining living hostages held in Gaza on Monday, while Israel began releasing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners as part of a ceasefire pausing two years of war that pummeled the territory, killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, and had left scores of captives in militant hands.

Cheering crowds greeted buses of prisoners in the West Bank, while families and friends of the hostages gathered in a square in Tel Aviv, Israel, cried out with joy and relief as news arrived that the captives were free.

The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon said Sunday that one of its members was wounded by an Israeli grenade dropped near a U.N. position in the country's south, the third incident of its kind in just over a month.

U.S. President Donald Trump and his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will on Monday chair a Gaza peace summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, also attended by world leaders including the U.N. chief.

Three Qatari diplomats were killed and two injured in a car crash on Sunday near the Egyptian town of Sharm el-Sheikh, according to the Gulf state's embassy.
