Israel-Hamas war: Hamas rejects ceasefire proposal, Israel says

Israel says Hamas has formally rejected a U.S. ceasefire proposal while a Hamas official said the current proposal doesn't meet their longstanding demands.

Democrats Fearmonger About Medicaid Cuts While Battling To Keep A Million Illegals Enrolled

Image
WASHINGTON—About 1.4 million illegal immigrants are enrolled in Medicaid, something House Republicans hope to change. In May 2025, House Republicans introduced a proposal aiming to remove approximately 1.4 million undocumented immigrants from Medicaid coverage. This initiative is part of a broader legislative effort to reform Medicaid and reduce federal spending. Conservative lawmakers argue that taxpayer-funded healthcare should prioritize American citizens and legal residents, especially as the national debt continues to climb and U.S. entitlement programs face long-term sustainability issues.

UNRWA operates essential services across Gaza and serves as a cornerstone for refugee support, including schools, clinics, and food aid programs.

Sakurajima volcano erupts for hours, sending ash 3,000 meters into the sky

Image
On May 15, 2025, Japan's Sakurajima volcano erupted dramatically, sending a massive ash plume soaring approximately 3,000 meters (9,800 feet) into the sky. The eruption began at the Minamidake summit crater around 10:45 a.m. and persisted for about 17 hours, concluding at 4:00 a.m. on May 16. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) maintained a Level 3 alert, advising residents to avoid the volcano due to potential hazards such as volcanic bombs and pyroclastic flows within a 2-kilometer radius of the crater. Ashfall was reported in surrounding areas, including parts of Kagoshima, Kumamoto, and Miyazaki prefectures. Despite the intensity of the eruption, no injuries or significant damage have been reported.
