Israel reacts to Biden weapons pause over Rafah

Israel reacts to Biden weapons pause over Rafah

Published by skeptic

TEL AVIV — Israel is recalibrating the next steps of its war against Hamas following warnings by President Biden that the United States will cut off offensive weapons shipments if the Israeli military advances into Rafah, the southern Gazan city that is harboring more than 1 million Palestinians. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to respond to Biden’s unprecedented policy shift. But Yaakov Amidror, a former national security adviser to Netanyahu, said that “the surprise” of the warning has caught Israel off guard and will compel the war cabinet to reconsider whether and how it will enter Rafah — “if it will bear the consequence of going in without American support, or if it will stop the operation, which will allow Hamas to be unharmed in the area.” Source link

Published by Sam

Shaquille O’Neal has responded to his ex-wife’s declaration that she is unsure if she ever loved him. In an Instagram post Wednesday morning, the NBA superstar addressed revelations from Shaunie Henderson’s new book, including the confession that looking back on her marriage, she does not believe she ever truly was in love with the former basketball player, 52. Following the news of Henderson’s eye-catching statements, Shaq himself responded to his ex-wife’s words by posting a short message to his Instagram grid.  “I understand… I wouldn’t have been in love with me either,” the athlete and philanthropist wrote. He continued, “Wishing you all the best… ❤️. All love. Shaq.” The situation stems from a recently released excerpt from Henderson’s new book, Undefeated: Changing the Rules and Winning On My Own Terms, in which she states that she questions her love for her ex.  “Looking back, I don’t know that I was ever really in love with the man, but I was in love with the idea of being married to the man I had a family …

Social Media Reacts To Trump’s Documents Case Being Postponed

Social Media Reacts To Trump’s Documents Case Being Postponed

Published by skeptic

Cannon ruled that committing to the trial’s starting date “would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court.” The Florida judge, a Trump nominee, also said a delay was necessary to allow more time for discovery and other pretrial motions. However, many lawyers and pundits on X, formerly Twitter, had strong opinions about what was really going on. But at least one attorney thought Cannon’s decision might actually benefit special counsel Jack Smith. Dave Aronberg, the state attorney for Palm Beach County in Florida, argued that getting the classified documents case off the calendar will make it easier for the 2020 election interference case Smith brought against Trump to proceed.

The Internet Reacts To Yet More Delays At Manchester’s Co-Op Live Arena

Published by Sam

If you’ve been on social media this week, you’ll have probably noticed that Manchester’s brand new Co-Op Live Arena has got off to a rather bumpy start. The 23,500 capacity venue – which is set to be the largest arena in the UK when it finally begins welcoming guests – has pushed back its opening for a third time after failing to get things finished for the big debut. The arena was first due to open its doors on 23 April with a performance from comedian Peter Kay, but was postponed with just 24 hours notice following technical delays and safety concerns. Another gig from American rock duo The Black Keys (27 April) was also pushed back to later in the month, while US rapper and singer A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s show on Wednesday (1 May) was cancelled just one hour before he was due to take to the stage due to a “technical issue”. As a result, Olivia Rodrigo, who was set to bring her Guts tour to the brand new arena on …
