NYC Mayor Urges Federal Arrest of Netanyahu
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani acknowledged the city lacks authority to enforce an International Criminal Court warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but called on the federal government to act on it.

The remarks drew reactions from NBA players and other public figures, and came amid ongoing debate over the Gaza conflict, which has killed over 73,000 Palestinians since the Hamas attack that killed 1,200 Israelis.

Pentagon quietly revises Iran war casualty figures upward
The U.S. Department of Defense updated its casualty database to show more than 600 wounded in the Iran conflict, a figure not publicly announced. Four service member deaths were recorded separately from Operation Epic Fury, the official name for the campaign, in what critics say obscures the true human cost. The discrepancy raises questions about how the administration is categorising and reporting losses to the American public.
"The Trump administration is seeking to classify the renewed military campaign as separate from Operation Epic Fury, the US military's official name for the Iran conflict."

Settlers Burn Mosques and Homes Across West Bank
Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villages in the West Bank, setting fire to mosques, cars, and farmland in Qusra, Kour, and Sarra. The violence follows a confrontation near Tal in which four Palestinians and two Israelis were killed. Settler attacks on Palestinian communities have grown steadily, with observers noting that far-right members of the current Israeli government have offered implicit encouragement. Since a ceasefire deal was implemented, more than 1,200 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 4,000 wounded in the West Bank.
"The confrontation has further inflamed the situation in the West Bank, which has seen ever growing violence by extremist settlers against Palestinians, encouraged by far-right elements in the current Israeli government."

India's Cockroach Protests Shake BJP Government
A wave of student-led demonstrations, named the Cockroach protests, has put sustained pressure on Narendra Modi's BJP government after a national exam leak contributed to the deaths of at least 12 students by suicide. Young graduates and exam candidates, already facing high unemployment and institutional failures, took to the streets across India. The protests have exposed weaknesses in a government that has held power for 12 years and presented itself as politically unassailable.
"They have humiliated Modi and undermined the indomitable power of his Bharatiya Janata party that has ruled India for the past 12 years."
