A Hamas spokesperson speaking Friday on behalf of the Palestinian Joint Operations Room, a coalition of about a dozen Gaza-based groups also including Palestinian Islamic Jihad, told Newsweek that “our goals are to have the Israeli occupation authorities accept our demands.” These include “giving free access to worshipers from all parts of Palestine to pray at Al Aqsa Mosque without restriction or harassment by the Israeli police or the Israeli settlers and halting the attempts to expel the Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah....

SK: How his comedy tour is doing Jake: “It’s going great man, you kidding.” SK: What was it like getting the call to go into the WWE Hall of Fame? Jake: “It was absolutely fabulous you know. There was no question how much talent I had or what I had done for wrestling. My interview work, my wrestling over the years. There was never a question there, but what was a question on how is Jake doing?...

Now visitors to the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris can witness those wonders. “The Exceptional Jewels of Lalique, 1890-1912” (through July 29) is the largest-ever exhibition of the French master’s work, gathering together some 300 pieces from around the world. Visitors are plunged into a magical universe of color and texture: orchids carved out of opal and jade; Japanese-style hair combs adorned with wasps and Egyptian beetles; bats and cats in lacquered enamel; dog collars embellished with pearls; the soft, fleshy female form metamorphosing into a dragonfly, or couched supine on a bed of moonstone....

The NCAA is the worst organization in the history of sports. This multi-billion dollar, tax-exempt organizing body of collegiate sports; this watchdog of all things pure and amateur, is in the middle of the fight of its life in both the courtroom and public perception. So what does it do? It hires West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck in December to be No. 2 in charge behind beleaguered president Mark Emmert....

The early summer months were filled with loud pro-choice protesters left inconsolable after the ruling that abortion was never an actual constitutional right. Many pledged to exact their revenge in the form of legions of galvanized voters with two goals—to elect more Democrats at the state level to tilt the various playing fields where the matter will now be settled, and to punish Republicans on the national scene who had paved the path to Roe’s extinction....

The news has been released by Bulgarian tech insider Nixanbal, which has a great past record in proving accurate information about the yet-to-be-announced devices. The tech insider claimed that the Android 5.0 Lollipop will be the next major release by Google. The name Lollipop is making sense and is in line with Google’s traditional pattern for naming each Android version after sweets, in alphabetical order. Google named the first version of the operating systems as Android 1....

In a viral Reddit post published on r/AmITheA**hole, Redditor u/babyindecemberaita (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) said she is due in December and requested her aging parents stay in a nearby hotel or Airbnb—instead of the house they sold her—to be available for assistance with their newest grandchild.

Police in the province of North Holland say the device went off near the testing center in Bovenkarspel—located around 35 miles north of the capital, Amsterdam—just before 7 a.m. The blast shattered five windows but no one was injured, police said. National broadcaster NOS reported that a security guard was inside the center at the time of the blast but he was not harmed. Officials cordoned off the area around the test center and an explosives team was sent to the site in order to investigate the incident....

The accolade is aimed at celebrating role models across the black community in the round leather game. The Bouaké-born player has been involved in campaigns for a better and healthier environment across the world and also, for his relentless fight against racism. Toure has played just 25 minutes of league football this season and will hope to make his third Premier League appearance when Pep Guadiola’s men visit Huddersfield Town for Sunday’s Premier League encounter....

Definitive diagnosis relies on a biopsy of the eye, which is a delicate procedure. Treatment to prevent progression includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Types of Ocular Lymphoma Primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL), also called vitreoretinal lymphoma, is the most common type of ocular lymphoma, followed by ocular adnexal lymphoma and uveal lymphoma. PIOL/Vitreoretinal Lymphoma This ocular lymphoma affects the retina (the area in the back of the eye that senses light and converts it to signals for the brain to interpret), the vitreous of the eye (a jellylike substance that fills most of the eyeball), or the optic nerve (the nerve that detects visual input)....

Anderson’s kidnapping, on March 16 that year, had been the end of the endgame for the U.S. press in Beirut, and for most U.S. diplomats there. I’ll never know just how close I came to suffering the same fate. But I do know that I saw that car cruising the seaside corniche and the battle-scarred downtown of Sidon after the Israeli Army withdrew from part of South Lebanon at the start of 1985....

Gabriel Ruelas lost his 130-pound crown on a night, he says, he was so weak from the flu that he could barely stand when he entered the ring – let alone when the referee stopped the bout in the fifth round. But he also says that, dazed and beaten, he looked over the referee’s shoulder and saw the fighter Jimmy Garcia glaring back. “He was making fun of me,” recalls Ruelas, “giving me a look I didn’t like....

Whether Elliott will “win” a so-far successful appeals process comes down to his latest injunction hearing, scheduled for Monday. If the presiding judge sides with the league and Elliott’s suspension begins, the question must be asked: Would the Cowboys have been better off had Elliott just accepted his six-game punishment in the first place? MORE: Why Elliott can play vs. Redskins The Cowboys are 4-3 going into Week 9. Their losses have come to the Packers and Rams at home, and to the Broncos on the road, with Elliott being a non-factor in Denver....

According to a recent poll run by the firm Morning Consult, more than half of the people in the United States believe that if a movie star were to be accused of some of the crimes Miller was accused of in recent months, that alone should be enough to warrant a cancellation or reshoots with a different actor. It bears saying that the data gathered by Morning Consult did not refer to The Flash star specifically, but among the questions, it does name the list of offenses they have allegedly been involved in since 2020....

Nico Hulkenberg was already contracted to remain with the French outfit for the next campaign and the majority don’t believe that the Hulk has a chance of outscoring the Honey Badger next year. After all, Hulkenberg holds the record for most Formula 1 races without a podium and Ricciardo already has seven wins under his belt. I, however, think differently, and Hulkenberg could surprise a lot of F1’s faithful this time next year, here’s why:...

This conversation, conducted via email, offers a rare glimpse into one of the world’s most troubled regions through the eyes of the leader of one of its most important and influential countries. Khan rose to fame as a cricket star who led Pakistan’s national team to its first World Cup victory in 1992. After his sporting career, he began philanthropic work raising funds for medical facilities and research, and established the populist Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (Pakistan Movement for Justice) in 1996....

The Poco F4 GT looks and sounds like a gaming phone, and in an exclusive pre-launch interview the company’s head of product marketing Angus Ng revealed to Tech Advisor a spec sheet to match – but insists the device isn’t exclusively designed for gamers. I’ve seen the device, but I can’t talk about it yet or indeed show off the phone’s design, though Ng was happy to chat in detail about the phone’s specs ahead of its global launch on 26 April – a first for the series, after last year’s F3 GT launched primarily in India....

Before entering the world of diplomacy, Magierowski worked as a journalist, taking up editorial positions in a number of outlets, including Newsweek Polska. He went on to pursue public office, having served as Poland’s ambassador to Israel before being appointed as envoy to the U.S. last year. In this capacity, he discussed with Newsweek his nation’s role on the frontier of the former Soviet bloc and his experience living under both communism and capitalism....
