Spanish government faces pressure from hard left, throwing budget passage into question
Members of Spanish hard-left party Podemos ("We Can") began voting on Tuesday whether to make its crucial support for this year's budget conditional on the government severing ties with Israel and implementing measures to curb rent prices by 40%. The Socialist-led government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, which relies on a fragile coalition of smaller parties to approve any legislation, needs the votes of the four Podemos lawmakers in the lower house for the budget to pass. Sanchez faces a delicate balancing act as he also requires support from two centre-right parties - Catalan separatists Junts and Basque regionalists PNV, who are set to impose their own conditions to back the budget.

Blinken arrives in Israel as US looks to renew cease-fire efforts after the killing of Hamas leader
Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel on Tuesday on his 11th visit to the region since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. The U.S. hopes to revive cease-fire efforts after the killing of top Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, but so far all the warring parties appear to be digging in.

Analysis-Italy's low defence spending could cramp Meloni's style if Trump wins US vote
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni carefully courted Donald Trump when he was U.S. president and could be well-placed to serve as a bridge between Europe and Washington should he win back power in next month's election. However, the relationship between the arch-conservative pair faces a problem: Italy's perennially low defence spending. During his presidency, Trump insisted that NATO members meet a long-standing commitment to spend 2% of their GDP on defence.
