US Warns of Imminent China Threat, Hamas’s Ceasefire Proposal Rejected

Tensions in the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East dominated headlines today. At the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described China’s actions as an “imminent” threat, underscoring the United States’ commitment to supporting its Indo-Pacific allies facing increased military pressure from Beijing. This strong statement highlights the growing concerns over China’s regional ambitions and assertive military posturing.

Meanwhile, the conflict in Gaza took another turn. Hamas responded to a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal, offering to release 28 Israeli hostages – both alive and deceased. However, their conditions included a permanent ceasefire and a complete Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. This response was swiftly deemed “totally unacceptable” by U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, as announced on X (formerly Twitter). The stark disagreement points to significant hurdles in achieving a lasting peace in the region.
