World news today turns on power, politics and the reach of influence. In Gaza, Hamas says it will dissolve the body that has governed the strip for nearly two decades, opening the door to a technocratic administration under a fragile ceasefire framework, even as core disputes over disarmament and Israeli withdrawal remain unresolved. Cuba, meanwhile, has been plunged into another island-wide blackout, with fuel shortages and a decaying grid leaving millions without electricity and underscoring the depth of the country’s economic strain. In South Asia, India’s NIA has named Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed in a supplementary chargesheet over the Pahalgam attack, sharpening accusations of a cross-border terror conspiracy. And in an unusual World Cup twist, Donald Trump says he personally asked FIFA to review Folarin Balogun’s red card; the suspension was later overturned, allowing the U.S. striker to face Belgium.
