The Telegraph: No court can erase the genocidal evil of Hamas
Hamas has applied to the UK government to remove its designation as a banned terrorist organization, a move described as lawfare. The Home Secretary has 90 days to respond, after which Hamas can appeal if the request is denied.
The group's legal argument claims that the ban violates human rights, despite acknowledging its threat to national security. Critics argue that this submission undermines the very principles of human rights that it seeks to invoke, especially in light of Hamas's violent actions.

Critics argue that the legislation is based on misinformation, asserting that UNRWA does not align with Hamas. They highlight past accusations of UNRWA staff involvement with terrorist activities, but insist that the agency provides vital services in conflict zones.
Fox News: Newly surfaced report provides more clues on COVID outbreak source and timeline
A recently released 2022 Defense Department report indicates that seven U.S. service members exhibited COVID-19-like symptoms after competing in the World Military Games in Wuhan, China, in October 2019, prior to the virus's official outbreak in the U.S. This finding raises questions about the timeline of the virus's spread and contradicts earlier claims by the Biden administration.
The report, which was required to be made public but was withheld until recently, details that while the athletes showed symptoms, they were resolved quickly and attributed to other illnesses. The Pentagon had previously stated there was no evidence of COVID-19 infections among the participants. The findings have led to calls for further investigation into the events surrounding the games and their potential link to the pandemic.
