Qatar PM warns Gaza ceasefire at ‘critical moment’
DOHA — Qatar’s prime minister said Saturday the Gaza ceasefire has reached a “critical moment” as the first phase of the agreement winds down, with the remains of only one Israeli hostage still held by militants and no progress yet toward launching the next stage of the U.S.-brokered plan. Speaking at the Doha Forum, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said international mediators, led by the U.S., are working “to force the way forward” to phase two. “What we have just done is a pause,” he said. “We cannot consider it yet a ceasefire.” He said a full ceasefire requires a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces, restored stability in Gaza and freedom of movement — conditions he said are not currently in place. Although the truce halted the heaviest fighting of the...

US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.
US to expand travel ban to more than 30 countries, Noem says
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration will expand its travel ban to include citizens of more than 30 countries, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said, marking the latest immigration restriction imposed after a man from Afghanistan was accused of shooting two National Guard members. The expansion builds on a June travel ban that barred travel to the US for citizens of 12 countries and restricted access for people from seven others. Noem suggested earlier this week that more countries would be added, but in a Thursday interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham she declined to provide specifics, saying President Donald Trump is still considering which nations to include. Following the Thanksgiving week shooting of two National Guard troops, the administration tightened restrictions...

Four arrested after custard and crumble thrown at Imperial State Crown display
LONDON — Four people were arrested Saturday after protesters hurled custard and apple crumble at a display case containing the Imperial State Crown at the Tower of London, prompting police to close the Jewel House while an investigation is underway. Police were called shortly before 10:00 GMT after the case was defaced. The Metropolitan Police said the four suspects were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. Take Back Power, a self-described non-violent civil-resistance group, claimed responsibility for the act. The group said it targeted the crown to demand the UK government establish a permanent citizens’ assembly — a “House of the People” — with the authority to “tax extreme wealth and fix Britain.” Footage posted on social media showed one protester pulling out a...

Border clashes erupt again between Pakistan and Taliban forces despite ceasefire
KABUL — Border clashes have erupted again between Pakistan and Afghanistan’s Taliban forces, with each side accusing the other of violating a fragile ceasefire along the 1,600-mile (2,600 km) frontier. Residents fled the Afghan border city of Spin Boldak overnight as exchanges of fire intensified. A medical worker in Kandahar told BBC Pashto that four bodies were brought to a local hospital, with four others wounded. Three additional people were reportedly injured in Pakistan. Both sides confirmed they exchanged fire for about four hours but blamed each other for initiating the violence. Mosharraf Zaidi, spokesperson for Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, accused the Taliban of “unprovoked firing” and said Pakistan’s forces delivered an “immediate, befitting & intense...

The Supreme Court in Washington.
US Supreme Court to hear challenge to birthright citizenship policy
WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that will determine whether some children born in the United States have a constitutional right to citizenship, months after lower courts blocked President Donald Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship for children of parents in the country illegally. Trump signed the order on his first day in office in January, seeking to deny citizenship to children born to people in the US illegally or on temporary visas. No date has been set for the Supreme Court arguments, and a ruling is likely months away. The case could reshape Trump’s immigration crackdown and redefine the meaning of American citizenship. For nearly 160 years, the 14th Amendment has guaranteed citizenship to anyone born on US soil, except the children of...

Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage as US–Ukraine peace talks enter third day
KYIV — Russia launched a large-scale overnight aerial assault across Ukraine as U.S.–Ukraine talks in Florida entered their third day, striking critical infrastructure and intensifying pressure on Kyiv amid stalled diplomatic efforts. Ukrainian authorities said Russia fired 653 drones and 51 missiles, the vast majority of which were intercepted. One strike hit a major railway hub in Fastiv, southwest of Kyiv, destroying the main station building and damaging several locomotives. President Volodymyr Zelensky called the attack “meaningless from a military point of view,” saying Russia was fully aware the strikes would have no strategic effect. The bombardment comes as U.S. and Ukrainian negotiators push Moscow to demonstrate a “serious commitment to long-term peace” following a...

Leader of anti-Hamas militia armed by Israel killed in Gaza

German lawmakers approve plan to attract more military recruits as Europe seeks to counter Russia
BERLIN — Germany’s Bundestag voted for a bill on Friday that allows the country to move towards conscription, as tensions with Russia spur calls for Europe to gain more independence from the US security umbrella.The controversial bill passed with a relatively solid majority in the end, with 323 lawmakers voting yes, 272 voting no and one abstaining.The move seeks to boost the numbers in Germany’s armed forces to approximately 260,000 soldiers, up from the current 180,000, in addition to an extra 200,000 reservists, by 2035.The bill does not provide for mandatory conscription. Instead, it incentivizes voluntary enlistment through measures like a monthly starting salary of €2,600 ($3,000) – an increase of €450 from the current level.However, if the new quotas still aren’t...
