Summary
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on his eighth visit to the Middle East since the start of the war in October. The U.S.-proposed ceasefire has gained global support but has not been fully embraced by either Israel or Hamas.
Massive protests erupted on the streets of Buenos Aires as Argentina's Senate passes a bill advancing President Javier Milei's planned economic overhaul.
France's right-wing party, the National Rally party, was one of many that made gains in European Union elections. And French President Emmanuel Macron dissolves the parliament and calls for snap elections that will take place on June 30 and July 7.
We cover all this and more during this week's News Roundup.
