US District Court Judge James Boasberg is overseeing a significant antitrust trial against Meta, alleging that its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp contributed to an illegal monopoly in social media.

Times Of Israel: In Brussels schools, students equating Gaza war with Holocaust stymie remembrance
In Brussels, discussions about the Holocaust are becoming increasingly complicated due to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Teachers report rising antisemitism among students, with some equating all Jews with Israel. This has made it challenging to address the Holocaust's history in classrooms, as students express anger and hurt related to current events.
Despite formal education on the Holocaust, some schools have opted out of commemorative events due to tensions surrounding the Gaza conflict. Educators are feeling overwhelmed and seek support to address these sensitive topics effectively. The situation highlights the need for open dialogue and understanding in the face of rising antisemitism.

Times Of Israel: Disarming Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group no longer inconceivable, analysts say
The potential disarmament of Hezbollah is gaining traction as the U.S. pressures Lebanon and Iran amid ongoing conflicts. Hezbollah, weakened by its recent clashes with Israel, may consider disarmament following significant political changes in Lebanon, including the election of a new president.
Despite Hezbollah's readiness for dialogue about its weapons, it remains reluctant to surrender them. Analysts suggest that the outcome will depend heavily on U.S.-Iran negotiations and the Lebanese army's capacity to defend against Israel. The situation remains complex, with Hezbollah's military presence still justified by ongoing Israeli operations.
