Israel and Gaza cannot return to ‘status quo,’ US’s Blinken says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:21 GMT

As Israel prepares to launch a ground invasion on Gaza more than two weeks after the surprise attack by Hamas, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday that Israel has “absolutely no intent” to govern Gaza again.“I think we know two things. We can’t go back to the status quo; they can’t go back to the status quo with Hamas being in a position in terms of its governance of Gaza to repeat what it did,” Blinken said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”“At the same time, what I’ve heard from the Israelis is absolutely no intent, no desire, to be running Gaza themselves.”Since the Oct. 7 incursion during which Hamas militants stormed out of the Gaza Strip and killed more than 1,300 people while abducting as many as 200 more, Israel has commenced an aggressive counterattack, with casualties mounting among the civilian population of Gaza; additional Israelis have died as well.Israel has besieged the densely populated coastal region for almost two weeks, choking the flow of f...

The Belgian federal government is taking five short-term measures in response to information about the events leading up to last week’s attack in Brussels that left two Swedish nationals dead, Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said on Sunday.The move follows the resignation on Friday of Belgian Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne, who took responsibility for the failure of Brussels prosecutors to act on a request from Tunisia last year to extradite the attacker, Abdesalam Lassoued, one of its nationals. Lassoued was killed by Belgian police after the October 16 attack.Paul Van Tigchelt, former head of Belgium’s coordinating body for threat analysis, was named as the country’s new justice minister on Sunday.“The government accepts its responsibility,” De Croo said at a press conference announcing the measures to strengthen the country’s security apparatus and ensure a rapid and coordinated response to potential threats.Brussels public prosecutor Tim...

Why the US kept Daylight Saving Time

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:21 GMT

(CNN) — It’s almost time for clocks to “fall back” one hour.On the second Sunday of March, at 2 a.m., clocks in most of the United States and many other countries move forward one hour and stay there for nearly eight months in what is called Daylight Saving Time. On the first Sunday of November, at 2 a.m., clocks fall back an hour to standard time.The current March to November system that the US follows began in 2007, but the concept of “saving daylight” is much older. Daylight Saving Time has its roots in train schedules, but it was put into practice in Europe and the United States to save fuel and power during World War I, according to the US Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics.Pro tip: It’s Daylight Saving Time, with singular use of “saving,” not “savings.”Reasons for Daylight Saving TimeThe US kept Daylight Saving Time permanent during most of World War II. The idea was put in place to conserve fuel and keep things sta...

Red Sox free agent target Yamamoto reaches third straight Japan Series

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:21 GMT

The Boston Red Sox need pitching, and over the past year Japanese superstar Yoshinobu Yamamoto has loomed as one of the most tantalizing arms set to hit the market. The 25-year-old right-hander, a longtime teammate of Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida, has posted preposterous numbers throughout his career and is expected to become among the most highly coveted free agents of the coming offseason.Assuming this is his last hurrah in his native country, Yamamoto is certainly finishing his run in Japan on a high note.The Orix Buffaloes, Yamamoto’s current and Yoshida’s former Nippon Professional Baseball club, are back in the Japan Series for the third straight year. The Buffaloes fell short in 2021 before winning their first championship since 1996 last fall, and now Orix is looking to repeat as NPB champion for the first time since winning three straight titles from 1975-77.At the heart of Orix’s success has been Yamamoto, who is the two-time defending Pacific Leag...

Column: Low expectations are becoming the norm for the Chicago Bulls in Year 3 of the Big 3

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:21 GMT

Jerry Reinsdorf’s credo for making fans happy will be put to the test once again as the Chicago Bulls prepare for the 2023-24 season opener.Winning championships is a laudable goal, no doubt, but the key to happiness is being in contention down the stretch, or so says the Bulls chairman.“I think the important thing to fans is, while they want you to win championships, they want to know that when they get down to the last month of the season you still have a shot,” Reinsdorf said at a symposium last spring. “You’re still playing meaningful games. If you can do that consistently, you’ll make your fans happy.”Thus, the quest for “meaningful games” in March begins Wednesday night at the United Center against the Oklahoma City Thunder.No one expects much out of the Bulls, who slid backward last season to a play-in spot and then made only minor changes to the roster in the offseason, signing forward Torrey Craig and point guard Jevon C...

Hezbollah and Israel exchange fire and warnings of a widened war

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:06:21 GMT

BEIRUT (AP) — Hezbollah announced the deaths of five more militants as clashes along the Lebanon-Israel border intensified and the Israeli prime minister warned Lebanon on Sunday not to let itself get dragged into a new war.The tiny Mediterranean country is home to Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim political party with an armed wing of the same name. Israeli soldiers and militants have traded fire across the border since Israel’s war with the Palestinian group Hamas began, but the launches so far have targeted limited areas. Hezbollah has reported the deaths of 24 of its militants since Hamas’ bloody Oct. 7 rampage in southern Israel. At least six militants from Hamas and another militant group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and at least four civilians have died in the near-daily hostilities. Hezbollah has vowed to escalate if Israel begins a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, which is likely, and Israel said it would aggressively retaliate.“If Hezbollah decides to enter the war, ...
