If Hamas disarmament plan holds, it could mark first credible step to ending Gaza war

If Hamas disarmament plan holds, it could mark first credible step to ending Gaza war

After months of marathon talks, Hamas has, for the first time, accepted a framework of the Board of Peace’s plan to completely disarm in Gaza.

The plan provides for the inventorying and storage of its remaining heavy weapons under Palestinian supervision, potentially removing the most significant obstacle to advancing the Trump-backed peace initiative for Gaza.

The move comes soon after Hamas concluded leadership elections that brought Gaza-based leader Khalil al-Hayya to the head of the movement.

Michael Higgins: Teacher fired for speaking truth on Kamloops fake graves gets day in court

For refusing to jump on the Kamloops “mass graves” narrative bandwagon, high school teacher Jim McMurtry was sacked by educational authorities, abandoned by his union and refused a hearing before a labour relations board.

Now, five years after first being walked out of a classroom as Indian residential school hysteria swept Canada, McMurtry is heading to B.C. Supreme Court in a case that he hopes will expose the truth about Kamloops.

About 60,000 migrants arrive in Ceuta in 24 hours, Spanish territory’s leader says

About 60,000 migrants arrive in Ceuta in 24 hours, Spanish territory’s leader says

About 60,000 migrants have crossed into Spain’s North African territory of Ceuta from Morocco in the last 24 hours, Ceuta’s president says.

At least 34 people have died during the crossing, Juan Jesús Vivas said during a news conference.

The influx comes after Spain’s Supreme Court ruled this month that migrants stopped at sea while trying to reach Ceuta or Melilla, another Spanish exclave, cannot be summarily returned to Morocco.

Will the Commie Spanish government authorize use of force? Doubtful.

Ex-Liberal MP allegedly promised to pay back millions only if lenders didn’t complain to Law Society of Ontario

Ex-Liberal MP allegedly promised to pay back millions only if lenders didn’t complain to Law Society of Ontario

Former Liberal MP and lawyer Raj Grewal allegedly told lenders he’d only pay back money he owed them if they avoided complaining to Ontario’s legal regulator or the police about his allegedly fraudulent actions, according to the Law Society of Ontario.

The accusation is contained in written legal arguments the Law Society recently filed in a bid to have Grewal’s licence suspended and to prevent “a significant risk of harm to the public.”

Trump to demand BBC News chief testify in defamation suit

Trump to demand BBC News chief testify in defamation suit

Donald Trump’s lawyers will try to force the head of BBC News to testify as part of the US president’s $10bn (£7.5bn) defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster.

Jonathan Munro, the interim chief executive of BBC News and Current Affairs, will be deposed about claims the programme defamed the US president by misleadingly editing together sections of a speech the US president made before the Jan 6 riots.

If Mr Munro does not cooperate voluntarily, Mr Trump’s lawyers could instead ask the US court to issue a formal request from the High Court in London, The Telegraph understands.

Tim Davie, the former director general who resigned over the scandal, is also expected to be asked to testify.

Canadian Population Underreported, Artificially Improving Job Data: CIBC

Canadian Population Underreported, Artificially Improving Job Data: CIBC

Canada’s population decline may just be a distant memory after the data is updated. In June, Statistics Canada’s (StatCan) population estimate contained a stark warning that its data will see an unusually large revision. CIBC economists expect the revision will be large enough to reverse the reported declines and expose a new problem—Canada’s job numbers may be worse than reported, and there’s no longer an excuse for poor economic growth.

The German Establishment is so Desperate to Crush the AfD it has Developed an AI ‘Racist Uncle’ and Sent it into Schools for Children to Debate

The German Establishment is so Desperate to Crush the AfD it has Developed an AI ‘Racist Uncle’ and Sent it into Schools for Children to Debate

Täteropferumkehr is the German term for “victim blaming” – often hyphenated as Täter-Opfer-Umkehr to make it look slightly less clunky. In recent times, our political and media establishment have turned it into a sharp tool, employed with reference to both foreign and domestic politics.

Unsurprisingly, Germany’s woke lLeft – always eager to champion the alleged plight of the “oppressed” – views Israel, the only functioning democracy in the Middle East, as the ultimate perpetrator, while framing bloodthirsty Arab aggressors as the true victims. In 2025, five Berlin-based “activists” (four of whom openly identify as “they/them”) ransacked an Elbit Systems facility in Ulm, causing over a million euros in damage. Now standing trial in Stuttgart, they naturally view themselves as the victims.
