06.05.2025 โ‡ข Day Merz Stuttered To Power As Conclave Began
โŒจNetanyahu's planned "massive invasion" of Gaza dominated morning headlines, with France and China expressing opposition. An unprecedented political crisis unfolded in Germany as CDU leader Friedrich Merz failed to secure enough votes in the first parliamentary round, falling short by 18 votes from his expected coalition majority. Markets reacted negatively to this historic setback before Merz secured the chancellorship in a second vote hours later.

Middle East developments accelerated with Trump announcing Houthi rebels had "surrendered," though the rebels clarified they would only halt attacks on US vessels, not against Israel. Meanwhile, India launched missiles into Pakistan, with Islamabad promising retaliation.

By evening, all attention shifted to two major events: the Inter-Barcelona Champions League semifinal, with Inter advancing after a thrilling 4-3 extra-time victory, and the beginning of the conclave to elect a new Pope, with Cardinal Parolin reportedly leading among potential candidates.
