Khaberni - Global newspapers initiated their coverage on the repercussions of the killing of the armed militia leader Yasser Abu Shabab, who collaborated with Israel in the Gaza Strip, and its impact on Tel Aviv and Washington's stakes.
The British newspaper The Guardian considered the killing of Abu Shabab a painful blow to Tel Aviv's bet on "local proxies" (militias) against the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
The newspaper mentioned that this strategy was met with criticism from experts who doubted its ability to produce a real alternative to the movement.
The paper quoted a former officer in Israeli military intelligence, Michael Milstein, saying that the killing of Abu Shabab was "expected and inevitable," whether by Hamas or as a result of an internal conflict.
In the same context, an analysis in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz linked the killing of Abu Shabab to the failure of what it called "the manufacturing of leadership" in Gaza.
The analysis explained that the event highlights the gap between the Israeli perception and the complex reality inside the sector, confirming that the next leadership will not be in the hands of Israel, and that "impositions do not create leaders."
The paper considered that Abu Shabab appeared strong formally but was the weakest link in a structure based on arms and chaos, noting that Gaza does not accept a leader imposed from above "as acceptance comes from the grassroots, and the history of the region confirms this."
The New York Times discussed several prominent European countries boycotting the "Eurovision 2026" contest in protest against Israel's participation, emphasizing that the controversy reached the highest levels of politics after the war on Gaza.
The president of the Irish Eurovision fan club, Frank Dermody, described the boycott move as "the beginning of the end" for the contest.
In Sudan, the French newspaper Le Monde conveyed horrifying accounts from survivors in Al-Fashir in North Darfur about executions, rapes, and widespread abductions committed by the Rapid Support Forces, amid attempts to erase the evidence, indicating that more than 100,000 people are still missing.
Meanwhile, the British newspaper The Independent highlighted European-American disagreements revealed by a leaked call, where French President Emmanuel Macron warned of the possibility of Washington abandoning Kyiv without security guarantees.
In the Washington Post, analysts pointed out that Putin's visit to India represents a delicate test for Prime Minister Narendra Modi between Moscow and Washington.
Regarding the internal situation in the United States, Politico indicated a growing dissatisfaction among Americans with the cost of living, with some holding President Donald Trump responsible, while The Wall Street Journal discussed accusations of racial discrimination directed at the Trump administration after the dismissal of two federal officials of African descent.
