The cover: Trump’s bet, in the name of Abraham
Donald Trump got a historic diplomatic success mediating the peace agreement between Israel and Hamassigned to Sharm el Sheikh with the support of Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye. Returning to the White House, he abandoned Biden’s soft line, relaunching the pressure on Iran and strengthening relations with moderate Arab countries.
Its strategy aims to revive and expand the Abraham Accordscreating a Middle East based on trade and cooperation rather than conflict. The unknowns remain Türkiye and Iranbut Trump seems to be succeeding where many have failed: redesign the Middle Eastern balance and bring Israelis and Palestinians closer to lasting peace.

There defeat of Roberto Vannacci in the Tuscan regional elections (only 4.4%) it opened a deep crack in the League. In the North, the front of leaders against the “vaccination” of the party and in favor of one is growing return to the federalist model inspired by the Bavarian CSU: a national political league and autonomous regional leagues on the territory. The project, relaunched by Massimiliano Romeo and supported by Zaia, Fontana and Fedrigaaims to restore identity and powers to the North.

It’s no longer about individual hackers, but about real criminal organizations who exploit theArtificial intelligence to carry out increasingly sophisticated and difficult to detect attacks.
The expert Pierluigi Paganini explains that AI even allows you to create fake digital executives capable of interacting with boards of directors and authorizing money movements. The consequences can be devastating, as recent cases demonstrate: Jaguar Land Rover underwent a six-week production freeze with losses of a billion poundsWhile Renault-Dacia And Stellantis have been victims of data theft. Also affected Asahi-Peroniforced to stop production.
According to the Global Cybercrime Report 2025the global cost of digital attacks will rise to 11,900 billion dollars in 2026until 20,000 billion in 2030. In addition to direct economic damage, there is reputational risk: a violated company can lose the trust of customers and partners. Defense, however, remains a luxury for the few – and in the new one cyber warfareonly the strongest win.
