Since the ceasefire was announced on October 10, the Gaza Strip has been divided into the so-called “Green Zone”, which is under Israeli military control, and the so-called “Red Zone”, where Palestinians are evacuated and confined.

Trump has lampooned Mamdani as an anti-Semitic communist and threatened to revoke his U.S. citizenship, while Mamdani called Trump a “tyrant” in his election victory speech a few weeks ago.Recommended stories list of 3 itemsend of listBut Trump appeared to put…
Travis Head’s furious 69-ball hundred guided Australia to an eight-wicket win on a frenetic second day of the first Ashes Test after England’s batting once again collapsed at Perth’s Optus Stadium.Head (123 off 83 balls) guided Australia to a target of 205 in 28.2 overs after being pushed up to open the bat as England’s pace bowlers lacked the strength and precision they displayed on the opening day and the movement their opponents had generated in the early hours on Saturday.
