U.S. Appeals Court Deals Major Blow to Trump’s Tariff Strategy

  U.S. President Donald Trump holds a chart next to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick at the White House in Washington on April 2. A federal appeals court has ruled that most of former President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs are illegal, striking at the heart of one of his signature economic policies.

Tragic Loss: Five Palestinian Journalists Killed in Israeli Airstrike

In a devastating incident, five Palestinian journalists lost their lives in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, as reported by the Gaza Health Ministry. The strike targeted a vehicle outside the Al-Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp, where the journalists were working for the local Quds News Network. This tragic event adds to the growing toll of over 130 Palestinian reporters killed since the start of the conflict.

The Israeli military stated that the strike was aimed at a group of militants allied with Hamas.

The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with Gaza's Health Ministry reporting over 45,000 Palestinians killed, more than half of them women and children.

The international community continues to call for a ceasefire and protection of civilians, including journalists, who play a crucial role in documenting the realities of war.
