Obama Sparks Outrage With Remarks on Israeli Land Seizures

Former U.S. President Barack Obama has drawn criticism for comments made in Northern Ireland regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He stated that while Jewish refugees' search for safety was understandable, they "took land from people and acted excessively." Obama also called on Israel to find moral ways to defend itself and urged Palestinians to abandon violence, while outlining goals for easing suffering and rebuilding Gaza. Pro-Israel groups accused him of historical revisionism, claiming he ignored Jewish land purchases and the historical connection to the land.

Israel Police Chief Warns Officers Against Political Expression During Service

Police Commissioner Dani Levy has warned officers that expressing political views during service will lead to dismissal, emphasizing the force's apolitical stance. The warning came during a meeting with election officials, military, and Shin Bet representatives to prepare for potential security threats on election day, including war scenarios and missile attacks. The police have developed an operational plan and risk-based deployment strategy for polling stations. In case of major escalation, a joint assessment will determine the election's continuation.

The figures revived expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate hike, with traders now pricing in a 67% chance of a hold at the upcoming meeting. Global financial leaders in Bangkok discussed debt concerns, with the IMF urging fiscal adjustments and the euro weakening amid oil price rises and worries about France's fiscal health.
