Supreme Court allows Trump's sentencing in New York hush money case

SCOTUS allows sentencingThe Supreme Court on Thursday rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s request to block criminal proceedings in his hush money case in New York, meaning a sentencing hearing scheduled for Friday can go ahead.

The decision on a 5-4 vote with four conservatives dissenting meant the conservative-majority court changed course after having previously handed Trump two big wins last year. Trump is set to return to the presidency on Jan. 20.

The brief unsigned order said that the issues Trump wants to raise "can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal." The burden sentencing imposes on Trump is "relatively insubstantial," the court added, because Trump is not going to receive any prison time.

The three liberal justices were in the majority with Chief Justice John Roberts and fellow conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Federal judge strikes down Biden Title IX rules

Judge Reeves A federal judge in Kentucky struck down changes made to Title IX by the Biden administration Thursday, ruling that the new regulations, which had sought to expand nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ students, violate the Constitution.

The Education Department unveiled a final set of sweeping changes to Title IX, the federal civil rights law preventing sex discrimination in schools and education programs that receive government funding, in April, including modifying what the law considers sex discrimination to include discrimination linked to gender identity and sexuality.

More than a dozen Republican-led states sued the Biden administration over the changes, which they argued undermined the landmark law’s original intent of guaranteeing equal opportunities for men and women. Federal courts had already halted the rule from taking effect in 26 states.

New York's top court refuses to halt Donald Trump's hush money sentencing

Court reduses Trump appeal New York's highest court refused to halt President-elect Donald Trump's criminal sentencingscheduled for Friday – in his hush money criminal case.

Thursday's ruling is the latest setback for Trump in his efforts to get sentencing for his conviction on 34 felony counts derailed after an appeals court upheld the sentencing date Tuesday. Trump has also asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt the sentencing, which still hasn't ruled on his request.

A 12-person Manhattan jury unanimously concluded on May 30 that Trump falsified business records 34 separate times in order to cover up a hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Gaza clans, dignitaries call for PA’s return

Groups call for PA return to Gaza

Family leaders, clan chiefs, and community dignitaries from Gaza issued urgent calls for PA President Mahmoud Abbas and the PA to reassert control over Gaza, marking a significant development in the territory’s internal politics amid the ongoing conflict.

The appeals, made public earlier this week on the PA’s official state-run news agency, Wafa, may represent a potential shift in local support for the governance of the territory. The calls, made on two different occasions, came through a dialogue meeting organized by the General Union of Palestinian Farmers and a formal declaration signed by mukhtars (community leaders) and dignitaries from the Gaza and North Gaza governorates.

During the farmers’ union meeting, the dignitaries of Palestinian families and clans in the enclave were quoted as confirming “their support for the initiative of Mahmoud Abbas to enter the Gaza Strip,” calling on the PA to assume duties there, “to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.”

Israeli military says body of Bedouin hostage found in Gaza

Yousef Zyadna found dead in tunnel

The Israeli military says its troops have found the body of a Bedouin Arab hostage held by Hamas in Gaza, as well as evidence that suggests another may also be dead.

The body of Yousef Zyadna, 53, was recovered from an underground tunnel in the southern Rafah area on Tuesday.

The troops also made what the military described as "findings... which raise serious concerns" for the life of his son, Hamza, 22, who was also abducted by Hamas gunmen during the 7 October 2023 attack on southern Israel.

Two of Hamza's siblings, Aisha and Bilal, were seized alongside them at a kibbutz farm that day. But they were among 105 hostages released during a week-long ceasefire in November 2023.

Trump shares inflammatory video with crude reference to Netanyahu

Trump shares post against Bibi

Donald Trump has shared inflammatory video content calling Benjamin Netanyahu a “deep, dark son of a bitch” just weeks after the Israeli leader claimed the two had a “very friendly, warm” discussion about hostage negotiations and Syria policy.

The president-elect posted the clip to Truth Social featuring economist Jeffrey Sachs, who accuses Netanyahu of manipulating US foreign policy and orchestrating “endless wars” in the Middle East.

In the video, Sachs – who is being interviewed by Tucker Carlson – claims Netanyahu has pursued a systematic strategy since 1995 to eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah by targeting their supporting governments in Iraq, Iran and Syria.

“[Netanyahu’s] gotten us into endless wars and because of the power of all of this in US politics, he’s gotten his way,” Sachs says in the interview, referring to the influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups.

Quaker group pulls NYT ad over paper’s refusal to let it call Israel’s Gaza bombing ‘genocide’

Quaker group pulls NYT ad

The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a Quaker organization that advocates for peace, said on Monday the group cancelled a planned advertisement in the New York Times in response to the paper refusing to allow it to refer to Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide.

“The refusal of The New York Times to run paid digital ads that call for an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza is an outrageous attempt to sidestep the truth,” said Joyce Ajlouny, general secretary for the AFSC, in a press release. “Palestinians and allies have been silenced and marginalized in the media for decades as these institutions choose silence over accountability. It is only by challenging this reality that we can hope to forge a path toward a more just and equitable world.”

The group claimed a representative with the advertising team at the New York Times suggested they use the word “war” instead of “genocide”.
