The Take

Tribal nations are getting their land back. Now what?

A United Nations resolution built on Donald Trump’s Gaza plan promises a ceasefire, foreign peacekeepers and a new “Board of Peace” to govern the Gaza Strip. But with no real accountability for Israel and Palestinians sidelined, is this an end to the war — or a blueprint for a new kind of occupation?

Did the UN just outsource Israel’s occupation?

Sports used to be about the game. Now, for millions of fans, it’s about the bet. A 2018 Supreme Court decision turned sports into a multibillion-dollar machine — one that’s fuelling addiction and hitting young men the hardest. How did a quiet policy change unleash an industry preying on America’s loneliest, most financially anxious people?

Sheikh Hasina has won a fourth straight term as Bangladesh’s prime minister. The daughter of the country’s founding father earned her own reputation as a pro-democracy leader.

Another Take: How Sheikh Hasina transformed Bangladesh

More than 150 Palestinians from Gaza landed in Johannesburg on a mysterious charter flight run by a little-known group called Al-Majd Europe. South Africa says it was blindsided, but Israel calls the move “voluntary emigration”. The journey is raising fears that these flights are becoming a new way to push Palestinians off their land.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is operating in an unprecedented way during US President Donald Trump’s second term.
