President Trump’s executive order terminating federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs has led to 395 government employees being placed on leave and the cancellation of approximately $420 million in related contracts. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, is overseeing the implementation of these changes.

Front Page Magazine: The Change at the Top of the International Criminal Court
Nawaf Salam has been appointed Prime Minister of Lebanon, leaving his position as president of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Julia Sebutinde, who has defended Israel against allegations of genocide, will succeed him, potentially leading to a more balanced approach toward Israel in ICJ deliberations.
Sebutinde's presidency may influence the court's handling of previous rulings, including those related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Her track record suggests a shift in the ICJ's stance, raising questions about the future of its decisions regarding Israel.
Front Page Magazine: The Palestinian Authority and its ‘Pay-For-Slay’ Program
John Spencer, a West Point professor and expert in urban warfare, argues that Israel has taken unprecedented measures to minimize civilian harm in military operations. He highlights the Palestinian Authority's "Pay-For-Slay" program, which provides financial incentives to imprisoned terrorists and the families of deceased attackers, undermining peace efforts.
Despite the Taylor Force Act, which mandates the suspension of U.S. aid to the PA as long as this program exists, the Biden administration has found ways to continue funding. Spencer calls for a return to enforcing the Act, asserting that the PA's financial rewards for terrorism perpetuate violence against Israelis.

Human Events: Top UK universities move to boost ‘minority’ results by dumbing down exams
