Earlier, the German chancellor vowed to respond to the suspected Islamist terrorist attack in Berlin with "full caution and determination."

The incident comes at a difficult time for Friedrich Merz, who is leading a relatively unpopular coalition government, writes skynews .

The German government is facing difficulties in reaching agreements on tough economic measures necessary to reform the country's economy.

She is also undergoing a difficult cabinet reshuffle, prompted by the resignation of Merz's parliamentary group leader, Jens Spahn, who became a father through a surrogacy process, a practice that is illegal in Germany.

At this critical moment, the ruling coalition parties – the Christian Democratic Union of Merz (CDU) and the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) – are also facing two difficult regional elections in the eastern parts of Germany.

The far-right opposition party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), is leading the polls in both elections, campaigning mainly on immigration and security issues, topics that could receive more attention after yesterday's terrorist attack.

The AfD, which has long opposed policies on sexual diversity, reacted quickly to the incident. Its co-chair, Tino Chrupalla, wrote on the X platform: "We will not allow religious extremists to divide our country through violence and intolerance!"

The attack on the Berlin Pride event is the first major terrorist incident that Merz has faced since taking office as chancellor.

However, as opposition leader, he faced a series of attacks in the run-up to the 2025 German general election.

Merz's reaction at the time caused controversy, as he decided to put to a vote a resolution to tighten restrictions on immigration.

The resolution, which was not legally binding, was passed with the help of the AfD, after Merz was accused of seeking the party's support to pass it.

Critics later said that this decision cost Merzi important votes in the subsequent elections. /Telegraph/

Ukraine had previously presented ceasefire proposals to Russian President Vladimir Putin, but they were rejected by the Russian president.

However, some officials believe that the pressure on the Russian economy, caused by the ongoing Ukrainian drone and missile attacks, could influence Putin's stance.

The possible new proposals come after a series of recent diplomatic activities.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a telephone conversation with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on July 22, where they discussed strengthening diplomatic efforts. /Telegraph

Netanyahu said he will travel to New York for the United Nations General Assembly and stated that he is not worried about the criticism or backlash he may face during his visit.

The Israeli prime minister also claimed that the Jewish community in New York feels intimidated and made accusations against Mamdani's family in connection with the October 7 attacks in Israel.

"Zohran Mamdani's wife and family celebrated the October 7 massacre," Netanyahu declared.

These statements come at a time when the political debate in New York has focused on Middle East issues, security, and relations between different communities.

Mamdani, who has been critical of Israeli government policies, has become a controversial figure in American politics, particularly due to his stances on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. /Telegraph/

The President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, stated that Ukraine is in its strongest position since the beginning of the Russian invasion, assessing that the intensified drone attacks on Russian territory have changed the strategic balance and significantly strengthened Kiev's negotiating position.

According to Stubb, all NATO leaders support Ukraine's strikes on military targets inside Russia, as they aim to force Moscow to return to the negotiating table.

He stressed that, despite concerns about a possible nuclear escalation by Russia, the Ukrainian drone campaign has changed the way the United States views the conflict, reports ukinform .

Stubb assessed that Russia has not achieved its strategic objectives, while Ukraine has maintained its independence and sovereignty.

The Finnish leader argued that the limited progress of Russian forces during the war years shows that Moscow has not achieved a decisive victory.

Stubb added that the current moment creates a more favorable opportunity for Ukraine in any future negotiation process and stressed that the military and political support of allies must continue to maintain this advantage. /Telegraph
