The federal government is "deploying additional resources" to address the among East Coast residents − many in New Jersey − in recent weeks, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday. “There's no question that people are seeing drones,” he said Sunday on “I want to assure the American public that we in the federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings.” Mayorkas said more than 1 million drones are registered in the U.S. A Chinese national living in Northern California was arrested last week on suspicion of flying a drone over restricted airspace − over Vandenberg Space Force Base, Mayorkas said. "It is our job to be vigilant," he said. "If there is any reason for concern, if we identify any foreign involvement or crimnial activity we will communicate with the American public accordingly. Right now we are not aware of any." Witnesses have described clusters of lights, saying they look like drones hovering over populated areas around the state. The reported sightings have expanded to and have attracted the attention of residents and politicians. chimed in Friday, posting on social media: "Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I don't thinks so!" Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-New York, sparked controversy last week when she said she does not believe the federal government does not know what the objects are. She urged the Biden administration to "be straight with us and just tell us what is going on." Malliotakis doubled down on her claims Sunday, saying lawmakers are getting "zero answers" from the White House, which she said shows the government "knows exactly what is going on." Rep. James Himes, D-Connecticut, in an interview with Fox News Sunday, was asked about the emerging conspiracy theories. Himes said he understood why people are anxious, and he chastised the FAA for failing to explain to the public that the large number of commercial, private and military aircraft that fly over New Jersey in any 24-hour period could be confused with drones. "Now, let me say something that I know with confidence. It is not the Iranians. It is not the Chinese. They aren't Martians," Himes said. "I know that's very unsatisfying for people who want a Hollywood movie out of this." Last week, White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby said the drone sightings appeared to be piloted aircraft, adding that there was no evidence the sightings "pose a national security or a public safety threat or have a foreign nexus." Kirby did say the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI were working closely with state and local law enforcement to provide "numerous detection methods" to solve the mystery. The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have said such sightings at all. “Historically, we have experienced cases of mistaken identity, where reported drones are, in fact, manned aircraft or facilities,” . Harry Direen, an electronic and software engineering expert at DireenTech, said he wouldn’t be surprised if people were seeing drones at first, but that once the notion of drones took hold, people assumed any aircraft they couldn’t identify was a drone. “After what were likely valid sightings of possibly hobbyist drones, every aircraft can then become suspicious,” he said. −Jessica Chastain Reflects on Breaking Family's Generational Cycle by Going to College: 'Determined to Escape'
Sutton scores 23, Omaha knocks off Sacramento State 70-60Muscat: In a clear sign of shifting financial behaviours, mobile payments in Oman experienced a remarkable rise in 2023, marking a pivotal trend in the country’s move towards digital financial solutions. The surge reflects a broader transformation in the nation’s payment landscape, driven by the Central Bank of Oman’s ongoing efforts to modernise and secure the country’s payment systems. The impressive growth in mobile payments is part of a larger vision aligned with Oman Vision 2040, positioning the Sultanate as a leader in the region’s digital financial evolution. The Central Bank of Oman (CBO) has made significant strides in strengthening the national economy by adopting the latest technologies to enhance financial infrastructure. As part of its commitment to creating a robust and efficient financial ecosystem, the bank has focused on advancing the National Payment System (NPS), which underpins a wide range of transactions across the country, from high-value fund transfers to everyday consumer purchases. The NPS includes systems such as the Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), Automated Clearing House (ACH), and the Mobile Payments Clearing and Settlement System (MPCSS), all of which play a key role in streamlining the nation’s financial operations. In 2023, the MPCSS saw an extraordinary surge in mobile transactions, increasing from 4.9 million in 2022 to 40 million by the end of 2023. This remarkable 700% rise in transaction volume highlights a rapid shift towards mobile payments, reflecting the growing demand for quicker, more secure ways to transfer money. The value of funds processed through the MPCSS system also experienced a substantial jump, reaching OMR1.44 billion over a two-year period. This significant growth signals a clear preference for mobile payments, which offer enhanced convenience and security, and are becoming an increasingly popular choice for both consumers and businesses across the country. Meanwhile, the RTGS system, which handles large-value payments between financial institutions, recorded a 17% increase in transaction value, reaching OMR 209 billion in 2023. Although the number of transactions decreased, this is typical for RTGS, as it primarily handles fewer, higher-value payments. The system’s growth reflects a steady demand for secure, real-time settlement of interbank transactions, reinforcing Oman’s financial stability. Retail payment systems also saw robust growth, with the total number of transactions increasing by 41%, reaching 395 million in 2023. The value of these retail payments rose by 16%, totaling OMR 31.9 billion in 2023. The surge is indicative of a broader shift towards digital payment methods, with Oman’s residents increasingly opting for electronic transactions for everything from everyday purchases to business dealings. Card-based transactions Card-based transactions on the OmanNet network also grew by 30%, reaching 329 million by the end of 2023, with a total value of OMR 6.4 billion. This rise is fueled by the widespread adoption of Point-of-Sale (POS) systems, which have become integral to the country’s retail environment. The Automated Clearing House (ACH) system, which facilitates recurring payments such as salaries, also saw a notable 18% increase in both transaction volume and value in 2023. By the end of the year, ACH processed 21.9 million transactions worth OMR 13.5 billion, driven by the system’s ability to handle payments around the clock. The growth in ACH transactions underscores the growing reliance on digital systems for efficient, automated financial operations. On the flip side, traditional payment methods, such as cheques, continue to see a decline in use. The number of cheques processed through the Electronic Cheque Clearing (ECC) system dropped by 1% in 2023 resulting in a total of 3.7 million cheques by the end of 2023. However, the value of cheques processed saw a slight increase, reaching OMR 10 billion, reflecting the ongoing, albeit shrinking, role of cheques in Oman’s financial ecosystem. Notable increase in WPS Further reinforcing the shift towards digital payments, the Wages Protection System (WPS) introduced by the Ministry of Labour has been instrumental in increasing salary-related transactions. In 2023, salary transactions grew by 3% in volume, and their total value rose by 4%. The WPS has ensured the timely and secure transfer of salaries, contributing to greater financial inclusion and the adoption of digital payment solutions by businesses and employees alike. These developments signal Oman’s growing embrace of digital payment solutions, which are transforming the country’s financial landscape. With mobile payments leading the charge, the Central Bank’s efforts to modernise payment systems and enhance financial infrastructure are playing a critical role in shaping Oman’s economic future. Decrease in ATM transactions OmanNet has witnessed significant changes in its electronic payment channels over the past year. Transactions via ATMs decreased by 11% in 2023, compared to a 15% drop in 2022, indicating a shift away from traditional cash-based systems. In contrast, digital payment channels experienced notable growth, with point-of-sale (POS) transactions increasing from 68% in 2022 to 74% in 2023. This surge is likely driven by the expanded utilisation of POS software and the growing acceptance of digital payments. Meanwhile, e-commerce transactions saw a slight decline, dropping from 17% in 2022 to 15% in 2023. This change reflects evolving consumer preferences, with a growing interest in alternative payment methods.
Syrian opposition fighters have reached the suburbs of the capital, Damascus, and government forces are withdrawing from the strategic city of Homs as the rebels' surprising offensive picks up speed and President Bashar Assad's whereabouts are unknown. Homs is an important intersection between Damascus and Syria’s coastal provinces that are the Syrian leader’s base of support. In Damascus, residents described a city on edge, with security forces on the streets and many shops running out of staple foods. The rapidly developing events have shaken the region. Lebanon said it was closing all its land border crossings with Syria except for one that links Beirut with Damascus. Jordan closed a border crossing with Syria, too. Eight key countries gathered with the U.N. special envoy on Syria on the sidelines of the Doha Summit for two hours of discussions Saturday night, and more will follow. The U.N. envoy seeks urgent talks in Geneva to ensure an “orderly political transition.” Here's the Latest: The mother of an Israeli man held hostage in Gaza and seen in a newly released video by Hamas says “enough with the games” and calls for more pressure on the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Einav Zangauker told a demonstration in Tel Aviv on Saturday night that like her son Matan, “there are a few dozen who are currently alive. Don’t allow them to be brought back dead in bags. Take to the streets.” Matan Zangauker, speaking under duress, appealed to the public to protest in front of Netanyahu’s home and “not let him sleep even for a minute.” Zangauker also referred to 420 days of being held by Hamas militants and said “isolation is killing us.” Police used a water cannon on the demonstrators as thousands took to the streets for the weekly anti-government protests. Two officials with Iran-backed Iraqi militias in Syria say the militias are monitoring the situation and have not made a decision to enter in support of Iran’s ally, Syrian President Bashar Assad. One of the officials said Iranian militias had withdrawn to Iraq from their positions in Syria. “All the militias are waiting to see what Bashar Assad will do in Damascus. If he resists and does not allow Damascus to fall, it is possible that the Iraqi factions will intervene for the purpose of support,” he said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter. -- Qassim Abdul-Zahra in Baghdad Multi-country discussions on Syria have ended on the sidelines of the Doha Summit. Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein says the countries will issue a statement, and there will be follow-up talks “taking into consideration the practical and real situation on the ground.” He said the talks, which lasted over two hours Saturday evening, focused on how to stop the fighting. Eight key countries including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Egypt, Turkey and Iran gathered with the U.N. special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen. When asked where Syrian President Bashar Assad is, Iraq's foreign minister replied, “I don’t know.” He declined to speculate on whether Assad would be overthrown. Opposition fighters have reached the Damascus suburbs. BEIRUT — Lebanon’s Health Ministry says two Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Saturday killed six people and wounded five others. The ministry said an airstrike on the village of Beit Leif killed five people and wounded five, while a drone strike on the village of Deir Serian killed one person. Israel’s military said it was looking into the report. Despite a ceasefire that went into effect on Nov. 27 to end the 14-month fighting between Israel and Lebanon-based Hezbollah militants that had escalated into all-out war, violations of the truce have continued. The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza says the facility came under heavy Israeli bombardment again on Saturday and three medical staff were killed. Dr. Hussam Abu Safia in a statement posted by Gaza’s Health Ministry said the hospital was hit by over 100 projectiles and bombs, and electricity was cut off. He said the surgery department and neonatal unit were hit, and he pleaded for “immediate coordination for repair operations.” Kamal Adwan is one of the last remaining hospitals in northern Gaza. Israeli forces are pressing an offensive that has almost completely sealed off the area from humanitarian aid for two months. Israel’s military said it wasn’t aware of any attack Saturday. The hospital director on Friday said Israeli strikes had killed at least 29 people including four medical staff. Israeli Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says the military is monitoring the Syrian border to make sure that “local factions do not direct actions towards us,” adding that Israel is not intervening in the events in Syria. Israel’s military has said it is reinforcing its deployment along the border with Syria. Halevi said if “confusion” arises and actions are directed toward Israel by “local factions” taking control of parts of Syria, Israel has a strong “offensive response.” The United Nations humanitarian coordinator in Syria says the U.N. is relocating non-critical staff outside the country. Adam Abdelmoula in a statement Saturday called it a precautionary measure to protect U.N. teams. “Let me emphasize—this is not an evacuation and our dedication to supporting the people of Syria remains unwavering,” Abdelmoula said. The statement did not say how many U.N. staffers were leaving Syria as opposition fighters reached the suburbs of Syria’s capital, Damascus. The statement said the fighting in Syria has displaced over 370,000 people as the humanitarian situation deteriorates, “with many seeking refuge in the northeast and others trapped in frontline areas, unable to escape.” Foreign ministers and senior diplomats from eight key countries including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Egypt, Turkey and Iran have gathered on the sidelines of the Doha Summit along with the U.N. special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, to discuss the situation in Syria. The talks continued late Saturday and no details were immediately available. Qatar, Jordan and Iraq also were part of the discussions as opposition fighters closed in on the Syrian capital, Damascus. BAGHDAD — An Iraqi government spokesperson says about 2,000 Syrian army soldiers have crossed into Iraq seeking refuge as opposition forces advance in Syria. Bassem al-Awadi said the soldiers’ equipment and weapons were registered and taken into custody by the Iraqi army. “We dealt with them according to the principle of good neighborliness and humanity,” he said Saturday. Al-Awadi also said Iraqi officials are concerned about the security of the al-Hol camp and other facilities in northeast Syria where suspected Islamic State group members and their families are detained. The facilities are guarded by U.S.-backed Kurdish forces. Al-Awadi said there is “high security coordination” between Iraqi officials and those forces to “prevent the prisoners from escaping.” Syria's army says it is fortifying its positions in the suburbs of Damascus and in the country’s south, as opposition fighters close in on the capital. The army statement on Saturday also asserted that Syria is being subjected to a “terrorist” and propaganda campaign aiming to destabilize and spread chaos. The statement also said the military is continuing with operations in areas including the central provinces of Hama and Homs, and that it has killed and wounded hundreds of opposition fighters. At least two people were wounded in a car-ramming attack in the West Bank on Saturday, according to the Israeli army and rescue services. The army said the attack took place in the area of the Fawwar refugee camp, near the city of Hebron. It said a soldier was severely wounded, and security forces were looking for the attacker. Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service said another man in his 40s suffered light injuries from shrapnel. The West Bank has seen a surge in violence since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack out of Gaza sparked the war there. Israel has intensified its military raids in the West Bank, targeting what it says are militants planning attacks, and there has also been a rise in Palestinian attacks on Israelis. The Israeli military says it is helping United Nations forces to head off an attack on a U.N. position in Syria close to the Israeli border. The army said in a statement Saturday that an attack was carried out by “armed individuals” on a U.N. post near the Syrian town of Hader and it was “assisting U.N. forces in repelling the attack.” On Friday, Israel’s military said it would reinforce its forces in the Golan Heights and near the border with Syria, where civil war has reignited between the government and opposition fighters. Hamas has released a video showing Israeli hostage Matan Zangauker making an emotional plea for his release and describing the conditions he and other hostages face in Gaza after being seized in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel. His mother, Einav, has become a symbol of the fight to bring back the hostages and is an outspoken critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. Matan Zangauker, speaking under duress, appealed to the public to protest in front of Netanyahu’s home and “not let him sleep even for a minute.” Zangauker also referred to 420 days of being held by Hamas militants. “We want to return before we go crazy. Isolation is killing us, and the darkness here is frightening,” he said, describing having little food and medicine and “undrinkable” water. President-elect Donald Trump has made his first extensive comments on dramatic advances by opposition fighters in Syria, saying the besieged President Bashar Assad didn’t deserve U.S. support to stay in power. “THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT,” Trump posted on the Truth Social platform on Saturday. Syrian opposition activists and regional officials have been watching closely for any indication from both the Biden administration and the incoming Trump administration of how the U.S. would handle the sudden advances against Syria’s Russian- and Iranian-allied leader. Trump condemned the overall U.S. handling of the 13-year civil war in Syria, but spoke favorably of the routing of Assad and Russian forces. ISTANBUL — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday that there was “now a new reality in Syria” following the rapid advance of rebel forces. Speaking in Gaziantep, a city less than 30 miles (48 kilometers) from the Syrian border, Erdogan said that “increasing attacks on civilians” in Syria’s northwest Idlib province “triggered the latest events like the straw that broke the camel’s back.” It was not possible for Turkey to ignore developments in a country with which it shares a lengthy border and it would not allow any threats to its national security, he added in a televised speech. “Our wish is for our neighbor Syria to attain the peace and tranquility it has been longing for for 13 years,” he told a rally of supporters. “We want to see a Syria where different identities live side by side in peace. We hope to see such a Syria in the very near future.” Erdogan claimed President Bashar Assad had erred in rebuffing Turkey’s previous efforts to establish relations, saying Damascus “could not appreciate the value of the hand Turkey extended.” Ankara has supported anti-Assad rebel groups since the early months of the conflict and hosts 3 million refugees dislodged by the fighting. While Turkey lists HTS, the group leading the latest offensive, as a terrorist organization, the Turkey-backed Syrian National Army has worked alongside it. BEIRUT — A resident of the Syrian capital of Damascus says the city is very tense as troops and members of security agencies are deployed on main streets and intersections. The resident told The Associated Press that many shops are closed and those that are open have run out of main commodities such as sugar. He added that if food products are available, some shops are selling them for a price three times higher than usual. “The situation is very strange. We are not used to that,” the resident said on condition of anonymity, fearing retributions. “People are worried whether there will be a battle (in Damascus) or not.” — Bassem Mroue in Beirut DOHA, Qatar — Russia’s foreign minister says he has met his Turkish and Iranian counterparts in Doha and that all three countries were calling for an “immediate end to hostile activities” in Syria. Russia and Iran are the chief supporters of Syria’s government, while Turkey backs opposition fighters trying to remove President Bashar Assad from power. Speaking at the annual Doha Forum, Sergey Lavrov said Russia continues to help the Syrian army confront insurgents, military via airstrikes. Asked whether Assad’s rule is threatened by the fast-moving rebel offensive, he said, “We are not in the business of guessing what’s gong to happen.” He blamed the United States and the West for the events in Syria and said, “We are very sorry for the Syrian people who became a subject of another geopolitical experiment. “We are doing everything we can not to make terrorists prevail, even if they say they are not terrorists,” Lavrov said, referring to the de facto leader of the Syrian insurgents, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, who says he has cut links with al-Qaida. His group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, is listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and United Nations. He said Russia, Iran and Turkey want the full implementation of a U.N. resolution, which endorsed a road map to peace in Syria. Resolution 2254 was adopted unanimously in December 2015. The measure called for a Syrian-led political process, starting with the establishment of a transitional governing body, followed by the drafting of a new constitution and ending with U.N.-supervised elections. Lavrov also downplayed reports that Moscow had withdrawn ships from Russia’s base in Syrian city of Tartus, saying that the vessels had left to take part in naval exercises in the Mediterranean. DOHA, Qatar — The U.S. envoy who brokered the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah says the deal has created a new opportunity for Lebanon to reshape itself. Amos Hochstein told the Doha Forum that the weakness of Hezbollah after nearly 14 months of fighting along, along with blows to its Syrian and Iranian allies, give the Lebanese military and government a chance to reassert itself. “Now is the moment with this ceasefire to rebuild Lebanon again for a much more prosperous future and stronger state institutions,” Hochstein told The Associated Press on the sidelines of the conference. He said Lebanon needs “to do its part” by rebuilding its economy, choosing a president after years of delays and strengthening its central government to attract investors. “And the international community has a requirement and a responsibility to support Lebanon after this devastating conflict and after years of Hezbollah control,” he said. Hochstein told the conference that the turning point in ceasefire efforts was Hezbollah dropping its pledge to keep fighting as long as the war in Gaza continues. He said the change in position was the result of the heavy losses inflicted on Hezbollah, and Lebanese public opinion in favor of delinking the two conflicts. He said key tests for the ceasefire will be whether Israel carries out its promised phased withdrawal from southern Lebanon over the coming two months and whether the Lebanese army is able to move into those areas. BEIRUT — Insurgents and a war monitor say opposition fighters are taking over military posts evacuated by Syrian government forces in the country’s south, bringing them closer to the capital, Damascus. An insurgent official known as Maj. Hassan Abdul-Ghani posted on the Telegram messaging app that opposition fighters are now in the town of Sanamein, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the southern outskirts of Damascus, President Bashar Assad’s seat of power. Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said insurgents have entered the town of Artouz, which is about 10 kilometers (6 miles) southwest of Damascus. Opposition fighters have captured wide parts of Syria, including several provincial capitals, since they began their offensive on Nov. 27. BEIRUT — Lebanon’s government has approved a plan to deploy more troops along the border with Israel, part of the ceasefire deal that ended the Israel-Hezbollah war. In a rare Cabinet meeting outside of Beirut, held Saturday at a military base in the southern port city of Tyre, the government also approved a draft law to reconstruct buildings destroyed during the Israel-Hezbollah war that broke out in October 2023 and ended with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire last week. Information Minister Ziad Makary told reporters after the meeting that the committee whose job is to monitor the ceasefire that went into effect on Nov. 27 will hold its first meeting on Monday. The committee is made up of military officials from the U.S., France, Israel and Lebanon as well as the U.N. peacekeeping force deployed along the border. As part of the ceasefire deal, during the first 60 days Israeli troops will have to withdraw from Lebanon, while Hezbollah will have to pull its heavy weapons away from the border area to north of the Litani river. The Lebanese army said this week it will begin recruiting more soldiers, apparently to deploy them along the border with Israel. BEIRUT — The Syrian army withdrew from much of southern Syria on Saturday, leaving more areas of the country, including two provincial capitals, under the control of opposition fighters, the military and an opposition war monitor said. The redeployment away from the provinces of Daraa and Sweida came as Syria’s military sent large numbers of reinforcements to defend the key central city of Homs, Syria’s third largest, as insurgents approached its outskirts. The rapid advances by insurgents are a stunning reversal of fortunes for Syria’s President Bashar Assad , who appears to be largely on his own, with erstwhile allies preoccupied with other conflicts. His chief international backer, Russia, is busy with its war in Ukraine, and Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah, which at one point sent thousands of fighters to shore up his forces, has been weakened by a yearlong conflict with Israel. Iran, meanwhile, has seen its proxies across the region degraded by Israeli regular airstrikes. JERUSALEM — Israeli security forces killed a Palestinian man after he attacked them at a border crossing in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Saturday morning, police said. The man shot firecrackers at security forces at the checkpoint and threatened them with a knife, the police statement said. The man wore a t-shirt emblazoned with a symbol of the Islamic State militant group, according to an Associated Press reporter Israeli fire has killed at least 700 Palestinians in the West Bank since the Israel-Hamas war began last year, Palestinian health officials said. In that time, Palestinian militants have launched a number of attacks on soldiers at checkpoints and within Israel. DOHA, Qatar — The prime minister of Qatar says he has seen new momentum in Gaza ceasefire efforts since the U.S. presidential election, with the incoming Trump administration seeking an end to the conflict before it takes office. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, a key mediator in the ceasefire efforts, declined to give specifics of the negotiations but told an international conference in Doha that the gaps between the sides are not large. Qatar, which has served as a mediator throughout the 14-month war, suspended its efforts last month in frustration over the lack of progress. But Sheikh Mohammed said his government has re-engaged in recent days after determining a new willingness by both parties to reach a deal. ’We have sensed after the election that the momentum is coming back,” he told the Doha Forum on Saturday. He said has been in touch with both the outgoing Biden administration and the incoming Trump administration and found that while there are some differences in approach, both are committed to the same goal of ending the war. ’We have seen a lot of encouragement from the incoming administration in order to achieve a deal, even before the president comes to the office,” Sheikh Mohammed said. He declined to discuss details, saying he wanted to “protect the process,” but expressed hope for a deal “as soon as possible.” ’If you look at the gaps and the disagreements, they are not something substantial that really affects the agreement,” he said. CAIRO — At least 29 people were killed, including four medical staff, when Israeli strikes pummeled the area around one of the last remaining hospitals in northern Gaza, Palestinian officials said. The situation in and around the Kamal Adwan hospital is “catastrophic,” according to Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, the director of the hospital. The dead included five children and five women, according to the hospital casualty list, which was obtained by The Associated Press. Friday’s strikes also wounded 55 people including six children and the five women, according to the hospital. Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya is one of the few hospitals still partially operating in the Gaza’s northernmost province , where Israeli forces are pressing an offensive that has almost completely sealed off the area from humanitarian aid for two months. Israel’s military denied that its forces had struck the hospital or operated inside it. The army said that in the past few weeks, “coordinated efforts with international organizations have been underway in order to transfer patients, companions, and medical staff to other hospitals.” An Indonesian medical team which had been assisting in Kamal Adwan for the past week was forced to evacuate on foot after the area was surrounded by Israeli soldiers, according to a statement from the team. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the medical team’s expulsion. Dr. Rik Peeperkorn, the World Health Organization representative in the Palestinian territories, said an Israeli tank approached the hospital at around 4 a.m. Friday. Although no official Israeli evacuation order was issued, “people started to climb the wall to escape, and this panic attracted IDF (Israeli) fire,” he said. He spoke by video from Gaza to journalists in Geneva. Kamal Adwan Hospital has been struck multiple times over the past two months since Israel launched a fierce military operation in northern Gaza against Hamas militants. In October, Israeli forces raided the hospital, saying that militants were sheltering inside and arrested a number of people, including some staff. Hospital officials denied the claim. MANAMA, Bahrain — Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister has reiterated the kingdom’s call for an end to the war in the Gaza Strip. Prince Faisal bin Farhan described Israel as acting with “impunity and is getting away without punishment” in its war on Hamas there. The prince said that any permanent solution requires a two-state solution, with the Palestinians having east Jerusalem as their capital. After the speech, Prince Turki al-Faisal, a prominent royal in the kingdom who led Saudi intelligence for more than two decades and served as ambassador to the U.S. and Britain, took the stage. He harshly criticized Israel’s conduct in the wars. “Israel has become an apartheid, colonial and genocidal state,” Prince Turki said. “It is about time for the world to address that issue and take the necessary steps to bring those who are thus charged by the International Criminal Court to justice.” Israeli officials could not be immediately reached for comment on Prince Turki’s remarks. The Saudis spoke at the International Institute for Security Studies’ Manama Dialogue in Bahrain.White House Outlines Biden’s To-Do List for Final Weeks in Office

As 2025 fast approaches, Pantone has officially selected its latest color of the year: While 2024 was all about “ Peach Fuzz ,” a soft pinkish-orange hue, next year’s color is “Mocha Mousse,” a warm and indulgent brown. “This is the first time in the 25-year history of Pantone’s color of the year that they’ve chosen a shade of brown, which is kind of a big deal,” says the New York Times ’ Vanessa Friedman in a conversation with fellow reporters and editors. “I admit, my mind went immediately to comfort eating.” Colors are often associated with particular emotions or sensations, and Pantone is betting that the new hue will be a predictor of next year’s trends. In a statement , the company describes Mocha Mousse as “an evocative soft brown that transports our senses into the pleasure and deliciousness it inspires.” “It’s a beautiful color to look at. We think of tasting it, and know it’s going to be wonderful on the tongue. We think of the smell of chocolate in the oven,” Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, tells Architectural Digest ’s Tim Nelson. “Underpinned by our desire for everyday pleasures, Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence.” Mocha Mousse is a far cry from punchy stand-out tones that have proliferated in recent years, such as “ Barbie Pink ” or “ Brat Green ” (though neither was named color of the year). Instead, Pantone says the new color evokes buttery leathers or rich flavors. “The overriding theme as we went into looking for this year’s color was this whole idea of harmony,” Laurie Pressman, the Pantone Color Institute’s vice president, tells USA Today ’s Anna Kaufman. “We have enough going on outside of us. We’re looking for things that are softer and things that are lighter.” Pressman adds that Mocha Mousse is inspired by “little treat culture,” which involves prioritizing small joys throughout the day—such as a cup of coffee or a piece of chocolate. Pantone has been announcing colors of the year since 1999. To determine which hue will be chosen, an international team examines trends connected to fashion, design, travel, technology, the art world and the entertainment industry. This year, Pantone is already working with a variety of international partners to bring Mocha Mousse to life: Companies like Motorola, Post-it and Joybird are releasing products designed using the color. Pantone will also be hosting events connected to the color in cities like New York, Shanghai and Mumbai. Still, only time will tell whether Pantone’s selection will accurately match the zeitgeist. The Times ’ Stella Bugbee has doubts, asking : “Does the Pantone color of the year actually reflect any reality?” After all, how much did “Peach Fuzz” truly mirror the trends of 2024? For her part, Pressman thinks the color of the year can also respond to the present moment, in addition to reflecting it. “It’s emblematic of a snapshot in time, and it’s giving people what they feel they need—that that color can hope to answer,” she tells NPR ’s Emma Bowman. “It’s us taking the temperature: What’s taking place in the world around us, and how does that get expressed into the language of color?” Get the latest stories in your inbox every weekday.

The New York Jets season is over at 3-9, and the playoffs are out of reach, which has led to some speculation that interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich might bench for the last five games of the year. Despite Rodgers stating that he wants to play in every game, there are some who want the four-time MVP winner to take a step back and allow Tyrod Taylor to take over the offense.
