An Egyptian source has refuted reports in Israeli media regarding purported agreements between Egypt and Israel concerning the Philadelphi corridor. The source emphasized that these claims are part of Israeli attempts to obscure its ongoing military failures in the Gaza Strip. The Philadelphi corridor, a buffer zone on the Egypt-Gaza border, spans 14 kilometers in length and 100 meters in width. It was established under the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty and stretches from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the Karm Abu Salem border crossing in the south. Egyptian security forces have been patrolling this corridor since Israel’s withdrawal…

With President Joe Biden stepping out of the 2024 race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, the political landscape is set for a potential showdown between Harris and former President Donald Trump. This raises questions about whether the upcoming election will mirror the 2016 race between Trump and Hillary Clinton or pave the way for a Democratic triumph. Harris, although needing to secure enough delegates at the Democratic National Convention next month to become the official nominee, is now seen as the front-runner. This development provides a sigh of relief to many Democrats worried about Biden’s recent poor polling numbers.…

The Israeli military has issued draft notices to enlist 1,000 men from the devout Haredi community as part of an initial group of 3,000 to be conscripted in the coming weeks. This action follows a ruling by Israel’s Supreme Court mandating that ultra-Orthodox men no longer receive exemptions from military service, ending a longstanding agreement that has been in place since the establishment of Israel in 1948. The conscription decision comes amid rising regional tensions after the Israeli military carried out air strikes on Houthi rebel positions in Yemen. This escalation followed a drone attack by the Houthi group that…

In a dramatic turn of events, the Republican National Convention (RNC) has seen an unexpected fashion statement sweeping through its attendees: ear bandages. This new trend emerged following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, who is set to deliver a pivotal speech at the RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The incident occurred during a rally in Pennsylvania last weekend when a shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired a bullet that grazed Trump’s right ear. The attack tragically claimed the life of one attendee, critically injured two others, and ended with Crooks being fatally shot by a Secret…

Donald Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance, shared his personal story during his keynote speech at the Republican convention on Wednesday, and no family member received a louder cheer than his gun-toting grandma. Vance, known for chronicling his challenging upbringing in the best-selling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” talked about how his Ohio hometown had suffered from factory closures and addiction. “I had a guardian angel by my side. She was an old woman who could barely walk, but she was tough as nails,” he told the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “I called her mamaw, the name we hillbillies gave to…

Elon Musk announced on Tuesday that he will relocate the headquarters of SpaceX and X to Texas following a new California law that prevents schools from forcing teachers to notify parents about changes to a student’s gender identity. “This is the final straw,” Musk declared on X, a day after California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill, intensifying the ongoing cultural battles in a contentious US election year. “Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas,” Musk said. Additionally, Musk…

Republicans Aim to Maintain Momentum After Trump Selects Vance as VP and Wins Nomination Republicans couldn’t have asked for a more eventful start to their nominating convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

After formally securing the nomination in the afternoon, Trump made a surprise appearance at Fiserv Forum on Monday evening, bringing the convention-goers to their feet. In his first…

US President Joe Biden sought to calm a divided nation Sunday after his rival Donald Trump survived an assassination bid, saying in a rare Oval Office address that it was time to lower the temperature of America’s hostile politics. “It’s time to cool it down. We all have a responsibility to do that,” Biden said in a televised address following the attack in which Republican Trump was injured in the ear and a bystander was killed by gunfire. As the country reeled from images of a bloodied Trump waving his fist after the gunman opened fire at a campaign rally…

Prince Harry received the Pat Tillman Award for Service at ESPN’s Espy Awards on Thursday. He stated that he accepted it “as a voice of the Invictus Games Foundation and the thousands of veterans and service personnel” who made the games a reality. “This award belongs to them, not to me,” said Harry, though he added that he welcomed the chance to highlight the resilience and achievements of Invictus participants and their families. “Moments like these help us reach those that need Invictus most,” said the prince, the younger son of King Charles III, who was accompanied by his wife,…

On Wednesday, NATO allies announced they had begun transferring F-16 jets to Ukraine and stepped up their promises to Kyiv regarding eventual membership in the alliance. This occurred during a 75th-anniversary summit overshadowed by political uncertainties in the United States. President Joe Biden, hosting the three-day gathering in the US capital, aimed to rally the West and reassure voters amid pre-election scrutiny of his fitness for the job at 81, six years older than NATO itself. Biden welcomed the other 31 leaders of the alliance individually before urging them to match Russia’s military production, which has sharply increased since President…
