Fox News: Trump-aligned legal group fights to restore merit-based federal hiring
The America First Legal Foundation, aligned with Donald Trump, has filed a lawsuit in D.C. to overturn a 1981 consent decree that mandates diversity in federal hiring, arguing it undermines merit-based evaluations. They claim the current system is outdated and illegal.
This legal challenge could reignite national debate on race-conscious hiring practices and follows ongoing tensions regarding federal workforce reductions. The Office of Personnel Management has previously sought to end these practices, and AFL's involvement may provide new momentum for that effort.

Times Of Israel: Hamas document shows Oct. 7 attack aimed at derailing Saudi normalization – report
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar indicated prior to the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel that an "extraordinary act" was necessary to disrupt normalization talks between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Documents found by the IDF reveal Hamas's concerns about Saudi diplomatic ties with Israel and strategies to counter them.
The documents suggest Hamas planned to escalate violence to hinder normalization efforts, viewing Saudi actions as insufficient against their influence. The October attack, which resulted in significant casualties, has since complicated U.S. efforts to broker an Israel-Saudi deal, as Riyadh now demands clearer steps toward a Palestinian state.
