1. Netanyahu's US Bet Backfires as Trump Pledges to Cut Israel Aid
-- Trump's election-day pledge to end $4bn in annual military aid has alarmed Israel's defence establishment, one official telling Channel 12 the air force commander "might slit his wrists" over the 15bn shekels, the Guardian reported.
-- Israeli security planning now leans on a funding line Washington has twice used as election material, and the loss hits procurement of US-built aircraft and interceptors. Coalition talks decide who negotiates the gap: Herzog names a candidate Sunday with 67 lawmakers behind Gadi Eisenkot.

2. Russia Routes Pig Iron Through the Arctic to Dodge Ukrainian Strikes
-- Russia will export pig iron through the northern port of Murmansk for the first time in 30 years as Black Sea fighting restricts its usual routes, the Financial Times reported.
-- Arctic sailing depends on icebreaker escort and a short summer window, so supply chains gain a corridor with a seasonal ceiling while voyages and freight rates lengthen. Steel buyers already paying war-risk premiums on Black Sea loading absorb the rest, with Brent at $96.71.

3. Cybercrime Group Turns Agentic AI Framework on Financial Firms
-- Microsoft said the financially motivated group Storm-3358 began using the agentic offensive framework ARTEX against financial-sector organisations in October, and that criminals are now reusing the tooling.
-- Security risk rises because autonomous tooling compresses reconnaissance and exploitation into fewer analyst hours, letting attackers outpace defender headcount. A shared framework spreads the same patterns to smaller banks that cannot buy specialist detection.

4. North Korean Party Envoy Holds Third Beijing Meeting in a Week
-- Kim Song-nam, a Workers' Party political bureau member, met Chinese officials including Standing Committee member Cai Qi and liaison chief Liu Haixing during a visit that began Tuesday, KCNA said, with Cai vowing friendship would not change "no matter the ever-changing international situation".
-- Diplomacy and geopolitical positioning are the read: Pyongyang is rebalancing toward Beijing after drifting toward Moscow over Ukraine, and the meeting tempo advertises a relationship it wants seen. A firmer China tie gives Kim Jong-un leverage in revived talks with Washington.
