Israel Escalates Gaza Attacks Locks Down West Bank as Focus Shifts to Iran

Fola Badmus03 mins

As global attention intensifies around Israel’s military confrontation with Iran, violence against Palestinians in the occupied territories has sharply escalated, with dozens killed in recent days amid what many observers are calling a mounting humanitarian catastrophe. On Thursday alone, at least 16 Palestinians were reportedly shot dead by Israeli troops while attempting to access food aid in Gaza. This followed a grim pattern: 29 killed on Wednesday, and at least 70 more gunned down on Tuesday at an aid distribution site in Khan Younis, according to eyewitnesses and health officials. The victims, many of whom were already displaced and starving, were fired upon with drones, machine guns, and tank shells. Earlier in the week, 38 Palestinians were killed in Rafah under similar circumstances, while another 17 died on Sunday in both southern and central Gaza. The killings have occurred at locations run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)—a controversial new entity established by Israel and backed by the United States. Staffed by private security contractors, the GHF was launched in May 2025 to replace United Nations-led aid operations in Gaza, which Israel had previously restricted. Since its creation, GHF distribution points have reportedly become flashpoints of deadly violence. Witnesses say this marks at least the eighth major incident in which Palestinians seeking food have been fired upon. “This happens to some extent every day. It’s becoming a routine,” said Yasser al-Banna, a journalist reporting from inside Gaza. “Now that Israel has started a war with Iran, everyone here in Gaza is scared that the world is going to forget about them,” he told Al Jazeera. Meanwhile, the West Bank remains under heavy lockdown, with increased military checkpoints, curfews, and raids targeting Palestinian communities. Human rights organizations have decried what they describe as collective punishment and war crimes, urging the international community to maintain focus on the worsening conditions in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. As civilian casualties continue to mount, humanitarian groups have reiterated urgent calls for a ceasefire, international investigations, and the restoration of independent aid operations in the besieged enclave.

Vladimir Stop Trump Slams Russia Over Continued Strikes on Ukraine

Vladimir Stop Trump Slams Russia Over Continued Strikes on Ukraine

Fola Badmus13 mins

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has strongly criticized Russia’s ongoing military strikes on Ukraine, calling on President Vladimir Putin to end the aggression immediately. Trump’s remarks came during a rally in Ohio on Tuesday, where he addressed a wide range of foreign policy issues, including the ongoing war in Eastern Europe. Vladimir, stop! The world has seen enough bloodshed. What’s happening in Ukraine is unacceptable,” Trump said to a cheering crowd. He went on to describe the escalating conflict as a humanitarian disaster that “could have been avoided” with stronger leadership and diplomatic pressure. Trump, who has long touted his relationship with global leaders during his time in office, claimed that such a war would not have broken out under his administration. “When I was president, Russia knew its limits. They didn’t cross that line. We had peace through strength,” he added, reiterating his belief that his foreign policy approach kept global tensions in check. The former president’s comments mark a rare and direct condemnation of the Kremlin’s actions, as Trump has previously faced criticism for appearing too lenient toward Putin. However, Tuesday’s remarks signal a shift in tone, with Trump expressing deep concern for the Ukrainian people and the broader implications of continued Russian aggression. Meanwhile, the White House has yet to respond to Trump’s statement, but officials continue to affirm U.S. support for Ukraine. As the war enters another difficult phase, with mounting civilian casualties and infrastructure damage, international calls for a ceasefire are growing louder — and Trump’s voice has now joined that chorus.

Trump Says Some Undocumented Immigrants May Stay Based on Employer Recommendations

Trump Says Some Undocumented Immigrants May Stay Based on Employer Recommendations

Fola Badmus04 mins

Trump put forward a proposal at Thursday, April 10, Cabinet meeting that might temporarily let certain undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States if they had significant support from their employers. This would be especially true in sectors like agriculture that are experiencing labor shortages. President Trump reportedly told farmers, “We’re also going to work with them that if they have strong recommendations for their farms for certain people, we’re going to let them stay in for a while and work with the farmers,” on Thursday, April 10, as reported by The Washington Times. Essential sectors like agriculture, hospitality, and others that depend on manual labor must have access to workers, he said. The president implied that these employees will formally apply for permanent residency status in due time. Following a meeting with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who detailed the Trump administration’s plan for illegal aliens to self-deport, the president made the following statements Trump hinted that the proposal may change into a guest-worker program, which would sponsor the temporary stay and employment of specific persons in the nation by their businesses. “ A farmer will come in with a letter concerning certain people saying they’re great, they’re working hard,” said Trump. “We’re going to slow it down a bit for them and then we’re ultimately going to bring them back.” He did say that getting these people legal status would be the end aim, but that it would be a long road. According to the president, “We have to take care of our farmers and hotels and various places where they need the people.” This strategy is crucial in addressing labor shortages in important industries. This plan is an example of the continuous endeavor to find a middle ground between strict immigration enforcement and the practical needs of companies who are trying to fill open positions. According to Trump, the government is trying to find a way to aid businesses that rely largely on immigrant labor while also trying to rein in illegal immigration. Significant political and legal obstacles are anticipated to stand in the way of this plan’s implementation, and its specifics are still up in the air.

Trump administration officials accidentally text a reporter Yemen ‘war plans’

The White House has confirmed a report by The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who says senior Trump administration officials accidentally included him in a Signal chat group in which they discussed plans to conduct strikes in Yemen Goldberg was included in a group chat in which US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other top officials discussed upcoming strikes against Yemen’s Houthis. Trump announced strikes on March 15, but in a shocking security breach, Goldberg wrote that he had hours of advance notice via the group chat. “The message thread that was reported appears to be authentic, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain,” National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes told reporters. The security breach provoked outrage among Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Chris Coons, who wrote on X that “every single one of the government officials on this text chain have now committed a crime.” Signal, an open-source, encrypted messaging application, is not approved by the US government for sharing sensitive information.
