Trump signs order to rename Pentagon as Department of War
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday directing the Department of Defense to be officially known as the Department of War, restoring a name last used in the 1940s.According to the order, the change aims to “project strength and resolve.” The Pentagon will initially use the new name as a secondary title while the administration seeks congressional approval to make the change permanent.The White House has not disclosed the cost of the rebrand, though US media estimate a billion-dollar price tag to overhaul emblems, agencies, uniforms and digital platforms.The Pentagon’s website was updated Friday evening to “war.gov” with the headline “U.S. Department of War.”“The name ‘Department of War’ conveys a stronger message of readiness and...

Hamas releases video of hostages in Gaza City as Israeli military advances
JERUSALEM — Hamas on Friday released a video of two hostages being driven around Gaza City, in a move apparently aimed at swaying Israeli public opinion as the military ramps up its assault on the city.The video shows captive Guy Gilboa-Dalal in a car in several locations in Gaza City, including outside the Red Crescent headquarters. Apparently filmed last week, it reveals damaged buildings through the car window as the unseen driver leads the car through parts of the city. CNN has geolocated the video to Gaza City.Toward the end of the video a second hostage, Alon Ohel, 22, appears alongside Gilboa-Dalal in the car. The two embrace and appear surprised to see each other. “I can’t believe I’m seeing you,” Gilboa-Dalal says several times in the video.It was a rare Hamas hostage...

BANGKOK — Thailand's parliament has chosen business tycoon Anutin Charnvirakul as the country's prime minister — the third in two years, after yet another leader was removed from office.Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who belongs to Thailand's most powerful political dynasty, was removed by the constitutional court last week for ethical violations over her handling of the border dispute with Cambodia.Anutin's Bhumjaithai party broke from the coalition led by the Shinawatras' Pheu Thai, and secured enough support in parliament to win the premiership.But the uncertainty may not be over for Thailand which has seen multiple administrations deposed by court interventions and military coups in the recent past.Anutin's rise to the premiership deals a significant blow to the...
