U.S CHARGES HAMAS LEADERS U.S Makes Report Public On The Charges For Hamas Leaders

The Pressing Question: Can The U.S Capture Lead Suspects

The United States has brought criminal charges against key leaders of Hamas for their involvement in the October 7 attack in southern Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people, including over 40 Americans.

Yahya Sinwar, the chief of the militant group, and at least five others are accused of planning and carrying out the attack. Although the charges were initially filed in February, they were kept secret to increase the chances of capturing Haniyeh, another key figure in Hamas. The attack has led to a significant Israeli military response in Gaza, causing over 40,800 Palestinian casualties and extensive destruction.

Making this public highlights just how involved the U.S. has been behind the scenes, either in prosecuting Hamas leaders themselves or assisting Israel in locating key figures. The move indicates a strong commitment from the U.S. to hold those responsible for the October 7 attack accountable and to support Israel in its efforts to dismantle Hamas' leadership.

🗺️ EUROPE: UKRAINE/RUSSIA

• Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has officially stated that he will not order Ukrainian troops to withdraw from Russia until the war is over. He even mentioned that this is part of Ukraine's peace or end-of-war plan. However, Zelenskyy has not clarified whether there are intentions to advance further into Russia or simply establish a stronghold for Ukrainian forces within Russian territory.

  Russia doesn't seem overly concerned about Ukraine's move, but the real worry is if Ukraine decides to use "Western missiles" inside Russian territory. There's already been a warning from Russia, threatening a significant retaliation if that happens.

📊VENEZUELA STARTS CHRISTMAS EARLY

VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT MAKES BIG CHANGES TO CHRISTMAS DATES

Nicolás Maduro, the current president of Venezuela, announced on his weekly program that Christmas will start on October 1st. At first glance, it might seem like an early Christmas is just for fun or that different cultures celebrate holidays on different days. But the truth is, this move seems like a distraction from the serious problems in the country. Venezuela is dealing with political opponents being jailed, citizens leaving for a better life, a struggling economy, and frequent blackouts. This is a typical move by a dictator to cover up the country's issues with a popular holiday.

🔝 FUN FACT

Project Habakkuk was a British plan during World War II to build an aircraft carrier out of pykrete, a mix of wood pulp and ice. The idea was to use this massive floating structure to combat German U-boats in the mid-Atlantic.
