Hamas’s leader has said he will only agree to a new truce deal if it guarantees the release of all Palestinian prisoners currently being held in Israeli jails, according to reports.
Al Arabi Al Jadidi, a pro-Qatari newspaper, on Thursday quoted an unnamed Egyptian official saying the “leadership of Hamas” had rejected Israel’s offer of a temporary truce in exchange for the release of several dozen Israeli hostages.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that India will “definitely look into” any evidence provided on its alleged links to an assassination plot in the US.
In November, the US charged an Indian man of conspiring to murder a Sikh separatist leader in New York.
Mr Modi told the Financial Times that the allegations will not affect ties between India and the US.
This is the first time he has spoken publicly about the issue.
The pillars of the British state are not the bastions of conservatism they used to be. The Church of England, flagellating itself over its “links with slavery,” bends the knee to the gospel of BLM. The headmaster of Eton College—which educated 20 of our prime ministers—declares himself “woke.” Judges still don their robes and wigs, but now they spout the dogmas of critical race theory. Britain’s Civil Servants, once known for stiff-upper-lipped efficiency, fritter away their time in endless diversity lectures. And presiding over all this is a so-called Conservative Party that has allowed UK immigration, both legal and illegal, to reach extraordinary new highs. So total has Britain’s cultural revolution been that it “has emptied every symbol of its former nature so that nothing is any longer what it claims to be,” as Peter Hitchens, its foremost chronicler, wearily concludes.
Three Israeli hostages killed by the Israel Defence Forces in Gaza were bare chested and carrying a white flag when they were shot, according to an initial military investigation.
The killing of the three men – who were kidnapped by Hamas on 7 October during its assault on southern Israel – has triggered widespread anger and incredulity in Israel amid a mounting sense of anxiety over the safety of the remaining hostages in Gaza.
According to reports of the IDF probe in the Israeli media, the three men Yotam Haim, Samer El-Talalka and Alon Shamriz – all in their 20s – had somehow escaped their captors and were approaching an IDF position in the Shejaiya area of Gaza City where there has been heavy fighting.
California coffee shop workers were filmed denying a Jewish customer access to the restroom after she complained it was filled with antisemitic graffiti — telling her “Free Palestine” and accusing her of wanting to use the facilities because “Israel loves taking private property and saying it’s their own.”
INSANE! These triggered employees are prohibiting an older Jewish customer from using the restroom.

Massachusetts has become the second US state to report a large uptick in the number of child pneumonia cases amid a mysterious viral outbreak in China.
Doctors in the Bay State noticed the rise in cases as Ohio reported enough cases to meet that state’s definition of an outbreak.
But physicians in western Massachusetts believe it is mostly RSV, a respiratory virus that kills more than 10,000 Americans each year — mostly young children and the elderly.
Mehdi Hasan is the latest casualty in MSNBC’s rush to quiet its anti-Israel faction. The network just cancelled the Pro-Palestine host’s weekend programme, as well as his show on the streaming service Peacock.
The Israel-Hamas War has exposed the inherent tensions within the Democratic Party’s electoral coalition, and Hasan’s cancellation signals an attempt to placate moderates at the expense of the far-Left.

The days following Hamas’ terror attacks in Israel seemed like a rare moment of unity in the European Parliament. Lawmakers from across the political spectrum gathered to condemn the violence and share in moments of silence.
But in the weeks since, that silence has been replaced by the usual clamor of debate and division as Europe’s streets fill with protesters and the continent’s Jewish and Muslim communities feel increasingly targeted.
As domestic debate grows more heated, Europe’s far-right parties are trying to cash in and gain political clout.
Hamas is reportedly shooting at civilians who ask to evacuate from a hospital in Gaza.
Yes Hamas, the leaders of Gaza are literally murdering Palestinians in Gaza.
Do you get it yet?
This isn’t about being pro Israel or pro-Palestinian it’s about stopping a terrorist… pic.twitter.com/D5etwUMU2J

OTTAWA — The Liberal government’s seminal accountability plan to hit Canada’s climate target for 2030 is actually an unreliable blueprint that can’t be trusted, the federal environment commissioner concluded.
In a new report tabled Tuesday in Parliament, Environment and Sustainable Development Commissioner Jerry DeMarco found the Trudeau government’s plan to aggressively slash greenhouse gas emissions that caused the climate crisis is full of holes.
The real goals were to destroy the Oil & Gas industry and de-industrialize the Canadian economy.
The plan has succeeded. Canada’s economy is a wreck.
Its citizens grow ever more poor and their voices weaker in a flood tide of society destroying mass immigration.
After Prince Edward Island Liberal stalwart and Senator Percy Downe started a public conversation last week suggesting that the party may want to elect a new leader going into the next election due to tanking polling numbers, political insiders are predicting that more senior Liberals and pundits will be speaking up about it in the coming weeks and months.
“The current polling is going to make these voices louder,” said a former senior Liberal in a not-for- attribution based interview with The Hill Times, last week. “Things have to change quickly.”
Dozens of mice dyed in red, green and black colours shown in TikTok video being released in front of shocked restaurant customers
Video circulating on social media shows a man with a Palestinian flag wrapped around his head pulling up outside a fast food branch in Star City in Birmingham on Monday before grabbing the box of rodents from the vehicle’s boot.
The camera then follows the man as he walks past children outside the restaurant before entering and throwing dozens of mice on the floor, causing those inside to jump back in apparent shock.
He then calmly leaves before shouts of “Free f—— Palestine” and “F— Israel” can be heard.
I guess Hamas supporters just naturally believe that torturing animals will win them hearts and minds. Who let these sick bastards into the west?
Hamas released a video on Monday in which three kidnapped Israeli women angrily appeal to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to release them “right now.”
In the video, which was released on Hamas’s social networks and described as “a number of Zionist prisoners held by Al-Qassam send a message to Netanyahu and the Zionist government,” the women accuse the prime minister of failing to act on October 7 to stop the Hamas massacre and now failing to rescue the hostages by enacting a ceasefire.

The acquittal of Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin last December on a charge of sexual assault arising from an incident that allegedly took place nearly 35 years earlier, and the failure of the Canadian government to produce any significant documents relating to the case in response to a subsequent lawsuit from Fortin, is disconcertingly reminiscent of the shameful prosecution of Vice-Admiral Mark Norman in 2018. In both these cases, with very different fact situations and charges, there were many indications of a shabbily motivated and prepared prosecution, followed by the frantic ambition of everyone connected with the prosecutions to avoid lawsuits of retribution by settling the claims with presumably ample amounts of the taxpayers’ money in exchange for a ban on any public comment. As I commented at the time of the Norman case, it appeared to be a vindictive and unfounded imputation of discreditable motives to a courageous officer doing his best for the Armed Forces of Canada, to which he had devoted his entire career. In the Fortin matter, the military authorities threw a distinguished combat general to the wolves in capitulation to fuzzy recollections of a complainant who had remained silent about her grievance for most of her life.
