The United Nations Security Council (UNSC), on Monday (Mar 25)&nbsp;passed a resolution calling for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza amid the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group&nbsp;Hamas during the&nbsp;month of Ramadan and an&nbsp;unconditional release of all hostages held in the besieged enclave.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h2>What happened at the UNSC?</h2>

The UNSC adopted the resolution with&nbsp;14 council members voting in favour of the measure and the United States abstained. &nbsp;

The text demanded&nbsp;an “immediate ceasefire” for the ongoing Muslim holy month of Ramadan, “leading to a permanent sustainable ceasefire.”

The resolution passed also "emphasises the urgent need to expand the flow of humanitarian assistance to and reinforce the protection of civilians in the entire Gaza Strip and reiterates its demand for the lifting of all barriers to the provision of humanitarian assistance at scale."

On Friday (Mar 22),&nbsp;the UNSC had turned down the resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and a hostage deal after Russia and China vetoed the US-led draft. Out of the 15 council members, 11 voted in favour of the resolution, but the vetoes stopped its passage.

The measure passed&nbsp;on Monday is&nbsp;an alternative resolution drafted by the 10 elected members of the UNSC.&nbsp;Notably, the resolution on Friday was the first time that the US backed a draft that came up for a vote with the word “ceasefire” in it since the beginning of the war.

<h2>UN chief calls for implementation</h2>

The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres after the vote called for the implementation of the resolution and said "failure&nbsp;would be unforgivable."

"The Security Council just approved a long-awaited resolution on Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages," said the UN chief in a post on X.&nbsp;

Earlier on Monday, Guterres&nbsp;said that there is growing international consensus to tell Israel that a ceasefire is necessary and that any ground invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza would lead to a humanitarian disaster.&nbsp;&nbsp;

During his visit, Guterres also visited the Wihdat camp in Jordan where the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) provides health and education services.&nbsp;

“We must strive to keep the one-of-a-kind services that UNRWA provides flowing because that keeps hope flowing. In a darkening world, UNRWA is the one ray of light for millions of people,” said the UN chief. Jordan is home to around 2.4 million Palestinian refugees.

The funding for UNRWA hangs in balance after Israel accused a dozen of the agency’s staff members of being a part of the October 7 Hamas attack against Israel. This has led a number of countries including some of its biggest donors to pause the funding.&nbsp;

Former US president Donald Trump is hurtling towards a critical deadline in his most costly legal battle to date. He faces the severe risk that New York's attorney general will begin trying to collect a $454 million civil business fraud judgment against him today. Watch to know more!

Trump's $454 million fraud judgement deadline looms

In the wake of Alexei Navalny's death in an Arctic penal colony last month, the wife of jailed Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza raised alarm on Monday (Mar 25), warning that the lives of many political prisoners in Russia, including her husband's, were at risk.

Last April, Kara-Murza, who had condemned Russia's war in Ukraine and campaigned for Western sanctions against Moscow, was sentenced to 25 years on charges of treason and other offences that he denied. He compared the case against him to a Stalinist show trial, marking the harshest sentence imposed on an opposition politician since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

"I understand that lives of many people who ended up behind bars today because of their opposition to the regime, many lives are in danger," Evgenia Kara-Murza, advocacy director at the Free Russia Foundation, a civil society organisation said, as quoted by Reuters.&nbsp;

"That is not just my husband's life who is indeed a years-long opponent of the regime, but also the lives of strong and vocal opponents of Vladimir Putin," she added.

Navalny, President Vladimir Putin's most outspoken critic within Russia, died at the age of 47 in a prison camp on February 16. His death ignited accusations from his supporters, alleging foul play. However, the Kremlin has vehemently denied any state involvement in his death.

<h2>Concerns for other activists</h2>

Evgenia Kara-Murza expressed concern for other activists, including Alexandra Skochilenko, who was imprisoned for protesting against the war in Ukraine by replacing supermarket price tags with anti-war messages, and Alexei Gorinov, a Moscow district councillor incarcerated for criticising Russia's invasion. These individuals, like her husband, are deemed to be at risk.

Vladimir Kara-Murza, who suffers from a neurological condition following two instances of poisoning attempts, was relocated to a new penal colony in Siberia in January and placed in solitary confinement, according to his wife's statement.

"Now he's being held by basically the same people who tried to kill him twice in the past," Evgenia Kara-Murza said.

It has been a consequential week for Moscow by all counts. The week began with President Vladimir Putin securing an unprecedented&nbsp;fifth presidential tenure in Moscow's corridors of power, surpassing Joseph Stalin. In between, the European Union Leaders' summit in Brussels&nbsp;announced new sanctions on 33 individuals and two entities linked to the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

By all counts, this is the country's worst terrorist attack in decades.&nbsp;Panicked eyewitnesses saw the terrorists dressed in camouflage fatigues and carrying automatic weapons.&nbsp;

While the next parliamentary election is slated for August 2025, internal discussions within the ruling Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) have sparked speculation about the possibility of rearranging the electoral timeline, potentially prioritising the parliamentary polls ahead of the presidential contest.

A cabinet sub-committee has been tasked with devising a hybrid electoral system for parliamentary representation. Under the proposed reforms, 160 members would be elected through a first-past-the-post system, while an additional 65 members would be selected via proportional representation, maintaining the total number of MPs at 225.

Currently, Sri Lanka's electoral framework allocates 196 seats based on district-level proportional representation, with an additional 29 members appointed based on cumulative votes garnered from the nationwide ballot.

US: Donald Trump hurtles toward deadline to pay $454 million fraud penalty

Prior to the US presidential elections, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk made a big statement that seems to align with former US president Donald Trump, who is all set&nbsp;to challenge the incumbent, Joe Biden.

Musk, who has been openly critical of Biden, remarked that the United States currently needs a significant Republican wave. He said if the Republican party does not succeed in the 2024 election, the future looks bleak for the country.

"I voted 100% Dem until a few years ago. Now, I think we need a red wave or America is toast," he posted on X.&nbsp;

<h2>A vocal Biden critic?</h2>

On numerous occasions, Musk has criticised Biden's handling of the Southern border crisis and accused the Democrats of being "influenced by the unions".

He previously disclosed that he voted for Biden in the 2020 election but turned critical of him after Tesla was excluded from the president's 2021 electric vehicle summit.

During The New York Times Dealbook Summit in November, Musk made it clear that he wouldn't be voting for Biden, stressing that this didn't imply he would support Trump either.

Both Musk and Trump confirmed their recent meeting at a mutual friend's place, amid reports that the former US president was seeking new donors for his campaign. In an interview with former CNN host Don Lemon, Musk clarified that Trump didn't ask for financial assistance and that he wouldn't cover his legal fees under any circumstances.

"I want to make a considered decision before the election, and if I do decide to endorse a candidate then I would explain exactly why," he said.

In March, The Washington Post revealed that Trump had suggested selling his social media platform, Truth Social, to Musk. The report, based on two anonymous sources, stated that the offer was made last summer while Musk was already leading X, formerly known as Twitter.

Sources indicated that the discussions between the two were more extensive than previously understood. Trump reportedly expressed to his close associates that the owner of X should acquire Truth Social, despite the breakdown in negotiations.
