This week, US President Joe Biden met with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Geneva.

Palestinian activists in Gaza fired incendiary balloons at Israeli soil to protest Israel’s supranational March of Flags in Jerusalem’s Old City, an annual event marking Israel’s 1967 anniversary in Israel.

After a pandemic-induced break, Warsaw held the largest gay pride parade in the region amid a push in Poland and Hungary against LGBT rights.

See how these and other stories of the week were captured by photographers around the world.
