Times Of Israel: Ben Gvir refuses to apologize to hostages who said his rhetoric led to torture
Former national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir refused to apologize to recently freed hostages who claimed his remarks about worsening conditions for Palestinian prisoners led to harsher treatment of Israeli captives in Gaza. Ben Gvir defended his actions, stating he is “proud” of his efforts to change prison conditions.
Hostage survivor Eli Sharabi warned that public statements by leaders have significant repercussions for captives, as their treatment can be influenced by external comments. Meanwhile, Einav Zangauker, a mother of a hostage, alleged that Prime Minister Netanyahu was aware of the consequences of Ben Gvir's statements but chose to remain silent.
Front Page Magazine: CNN: Non-Fired Fed Employees Suffering From 'Survivor's Guilt'
The media's focus on the emotional impact of federal job losses at NOAA has drawn criticism, particularly regarding the portrayal of remaining employees as suffering from "survivor's guilt." The firings, affecting probationary staff, are viewed as disproportionate, especially given the lack of media concern during broader job losses last year.
Critics argue that the media's framing suggests a crisis that overshadows the reality of the situation, as those fired were relatively new hires. The narrative that NOAA's workforce is essential for public safety and economic stability is challenged by the notion that many roles, particularly in public affairs, are not as critical as portrayed.

GB News: Elderly drivers could face new driving licence requirements under new proposals - 'Forced off the road'
Experts are advocating for stricter regulations for elderly drivers in the UK, as the number of drivers aged 100 and over has surged to a record high. Current self-certification rules for drivers over 70 may not adequately ensure road safety, prompting calls for a three-yearly "driver MOT" focusing on reaction speed and eyesight.
Public opinion is divided, with a majority supporting mandatory retesting for senior drivers, particularly those aged 70-74. Concerns about slower reaction times and health issues are driving this push. However, some experts argue that ability should be prioritized over age, suggesting regular health checks instead.
