Quick Glance: US Blocks UN Resolution for Palestinian Full Membership

In the Security Council, 12 countries voted for a UN resolution recommending full Palestinian membership, with the US opposing and two countries abstaining.

The US argued that Palestinian membership should result from negotiations between Israel and Palestinians to enable a two-state solution.

The Palestinian delegation emphasized that UN membership is a crucial step for peace in the region and criticized the Israeli government for its rejection.

Israel rejected the resolution and warned of its potential impact on future dialogues, especially in light of the recent escalation of violence in Gaza.

Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas

The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.

With Democrats contending that the articles were unconstitutional, senators voted to dismiss both impeachment charges and conclude the trial.

Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.

Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Furthermore, Love harshly criticized Lana Del Rey, suggesting she delay the release of her upcoming album 'Lasso' until 2031 due to perceived overexposure.

The Biden administration is strengthening alliances in the region to counter China, aligning with Philippine efforts to enhance external defense.
