Calls for Netanyahu's Resignation Intensify Amid Gaza Conflict

Leaders of the protest movement against the judicial overhaul in Israel, along with former senior security officials, are now calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign amid the ongoing war with Gaza. Activist leaders and former officials argue that Netanyahu's leadership is hindering victory, unity, and the recovery of the economy and society. They criticize his handling of the conflict and blame him for the failures. The calls for resignation come after a period of relative political moderation following the October 7 attacks by Hamas, during which many protest organizations turned into volunteer groups to assist those affected by the invasion. Netanyahu's office has not responded to the calls for resignation.

"Putin's Paralysis: Inside the Wagner Mutiny"

Russian President Vladimir Putin was reportedly "paralyzed and unable to act decisively" when the Wagner Group private military company launched an attempted mutiny. Intelligence assessments warned Putin of the potential rebellion, but no orders were issued for most of the day. Security officials believe that some in the power structures were waiting for the mutiny to be successful and would have joined the plot. The lack of agreement and disarray among officials led to confusion and delayed reaction. Eventually, a deal was struck with the leader of the mutiny, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, granting amnesty and permission to move to Belarus in exchange for ending the rebellion.

"Deadly Acts of Terror: Six Killed in Mexico's Roadside Bombings"

Six security officials have been killed and 12 people injured in a series of roadside bombings in the western state of Jalisco, Mexico. Governor Enrique Alfaro blamed drug-trafficking groups for the attacks, calling them an "act of terror" and an open challenge to the Mexican government. The bombings were set up as a trap for police officers, with eight improvised explosive devices detonating as a police convoy passed. The incident highlights the ongoing struggle with security and powerful criminal groups in Mexico, where both state forces and criminal organizations have a history of enforced disappearances and rights abuses.
