Escalation in Gaza: Israeli Airstrikes Result in Civilian Casualties

In a tragic escalation of violence, at least 18 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza on Saturday, according to Palestinian medics. The strikes targeted various locations, including a former shelter housing displaced people and an aid warehouse, which the Israeli military claimed were being used by militants.  The airstrikes have intensified the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, with casualties being transported to hospitals by foot, on rickshaws, and in private cars. The conflict, which began on October 7, 2023, has resulted in significant loss of life and widespread displacement. Efforts by international mediators to broker a ceasefire continue, but the situation remains volatile.  The international community has called for restraint and the protection of civilians, emphasizing the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. 

Trump’s Lawyers Seek to Set Aside Hush Money Conviction After Supreme Court Ruling

 

Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers have requested that the New York judge overseeing his hush money trial set aside his conviction and delay his sentencing, which is scheduled for next week. The request comes in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity. 

Trump was convicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to an attempt to cover up a hush money payment to a porn actor just before the 2016 presidential election. The Supreme Court’s decision confirmed a position the defense raised earlier in the case, arguing that some evidence should have been excluded due to immunity protections. The Manhattan district attorney’s office has not commented on the matter.
