An activist blocks a highway during a protest demanding the immediate release of hostages held by Hamas and calling for the Israeli government to reverse its decision to take over Gaza City and other areas in the Gaza Strip, near the city of Lod, Israel, Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025. (AP Photo/Ohad Zwigenberg)2025-08-26T10:33:05Z LOD, Israel (AP) Protesters in Israel on Tuesday torched tires, blocked highways and clamored for a ceasefire that would free hostages still in Gaza, as Israeli leaders pressed ahead with plans for an offensive which they argue is needed to crush Hamas.The disruption came as Palestinians in Gaza braced for the expanded offensive against a backdrop of displacement, destruction and parts of the territory plunging into famine. It also came a day after deadly strikes against Gazas main hospital killed 20 people including medics and journalists, among them Mariam Dagga, a journalist who worked for The Associated Press. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to hold a security cabinet meeting later Tuesday, but its unclear if he will discuss ceasefire efforts. He has said that Israel will launch an expanded offensive in Gaza City while simultaneously pursuing a ceasefire, though Israel has yet to send a negotiating team to discuss a proposal on the table. Netanyahu has said the offensive is the best way to weaken Hamas and return hostages, but hostage families and their supporters have pushed back. Go back to the negotiation table. Theres a good deal on the table. Its something we can work with, said Ruby Chen, the father of 21-year-old Itay Chen, a dual Israeli-American citizen whose body is being held in Gaza. We could get a deal done to bring all the hostages back. Hamas captured 251 hostages on Oct. 7, 2023. The vast majority have been released during ceasefires. Israel has only rescued eight hostages alive. Fifty hostages remain in Gaza, and around 20 of them are believed by Israel to still be living. Responding to a call from Israels Hostages and Missing Families Forum for a National Day of Struggle, protesters waved banners that read Hostage Deal Now. The relatives of hostages said they hope steady pressure can push Netanyahu and his security cabinet to commit to ceasefire talks. But far-right members of his coalition have repeatedly threatened to bolt if Israel agrees to a truce and have dismissed the protesters demands. We could have ended the war a year ago and brought all the hostages and soldiers home. We could have saved hostages and soldiers, but the prime minister chose, again and again, to sacrifice civilians for the sake of his rule, said Einav Zangauker, whose 25-year-old son Matan was abducted from one of Israels hardest hit kibbutzim on Oct. 7.Strikes continue after hospital double-tapCalls for a ceasefire came a day after Israel struck southern Gazas main hospital, killing at least five journalists and 15 others, including Dagga, who had covered doctors treating children for starvation at the same facility days before.The strike, among the deadliest of the war against both journalists and hospitals, sparked shock and outrage among press freedom advocates and Palestinians, who mourned the dead at funerals on Monday. It was swiftly condemned across the globe. Netanyahu called it a tragic mishap and said the military would investigate.Most of those killed died after rushing to the scene of the first blast, only to be hit by a second strike an attack captured on television by several networks. The southern Gaza strike came as Israel prepares to expand its offensive into densely populated areas of northern Gaza. Israels military wants people in hospitals, displacement camps and Gaza City neighborhoods to evacuate southward to so-called safe zones so it can destroy Hamas and prevent attacks like the Oct. 7, 2023, assault that killed about 1,200 people and triggered the war.A day after the strike, Israeli strikes killed at least 16 Palestinians on Tuesday, hospitals said.Officials from Nasser Hospital, Shifa Hospital and Gaza Citys Sheikh Radwan clinic reported that among the 16 were families, women and children.Gazas Health Ministry also said on Tuesday that three more adults died of causes related to malnutrition and starvation, bringing the malnutrition-related death toll to 186 since late June, when the ministry started to count fatalities among this age category. The toll includes 117 children since the start of the war. Israels military offensive has killed 62,819, according to Gazas Health Ministry, which does not say how many were fighters or civilians but says around half were women and children. The ministry is part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals. The U.N. and independent experts consider it the most reliable source on war casualties. Israel disputes its figures but has not provided its own. Israeli forces raid downtown RamallahLines of Israeli military vehicles entered downtown Ramallah on Tuesday afternoon in a rare daytime raid on the largest Palestinian city in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.The Israeli military acknowledged an ongoing operation in the city but would not provide any information about the purpose of the raid.The Palestinian Red Crescent said there were 19 injuries during the raid, including injuries from live and rubber bullets, tear gas inhalation, and shrapnel. Israeli armored vehicles entered a busy downtown intersection in the city, stopping traffic. A few dozen people attempted to throw rocks at the military vehicles.The war in Gaza has sparked a surge of violence in the West Bank, with the Israeli military carrying out large-scale operations targeting militants that have killed hundreds of Palestinians and displaced tens of thousands. That has coincided with a rise in settler violence and Palestinian attacks on Israelis. There have been more than 1,000 attacks by Israeli settlers throughout 2025, with 11 Palestinians killed and roughly 700 injured, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.But a daylight operation in downtown Ramallah is a unusual occurrence.__Metz reported from Jerusalem and Magdy from Cairo.

Police in France arrested a homeless 24-year-old suspect last Sunday in the homophobic slayings of four men killed over 16 days. The mens bodies were found floating in the River Seine.Prosecutors say the murders happened at a riverside area near the southern Parisian suburb of Choisy-le-Roi, known as a place of ephemeral homosexual encounters, The Times reported. Police suspected that all four men were murdered before being thrown into the river: two were strangled to death; detectives are still exploring the causes of death for the two other victims. Witnesses saw one of the bodies floating in the river on August 13, leading police to investigate. Related A new push for DNA samples could identify more victims of a notorious closeted Republican killer The victims include a 48-year-old Frenchman, a 21-year-old Algerian, a 26-year-old Tunisian man, and a 21-year-old Arab man. All of the men had been reported missing between late July and early August. Two were considered homeless, and two were partially naked when recovered from the river. All of the mens bodies were in advanced stages of decomposition.Detectives say the suspected killer had one of the mens DNA on his pants and used phone cards and a debit card belonging to the various victims. The suspect, identified in the press only as Monji H., is Tunisian and came to France three years ago and reportedly denied involvement but refused to answer police when confronted with evidence, Le Monde reported.

Investigators say that two of the victims may have briefly lived with the suspect, though its not entirely clear if the suspect had sex with any of his victims.We cannot ignore the homophobic dimension which is already evident in this case, said Terrence Khatchadourian, general secretary of the group Stop Homophobie.

ROCHESTER, MNIn an effort to advise American consumers about the potential hazards of ingesting the Mexican-inspired fast food item, nutritionists at the Mayo Clinic warned Tuesday that the Taco Bell $3 steak burrito was a $3 steak burrito. While Taco Bells latest offering of a grilled steak burrito for just $3 might seem like an attractive choice, we strongly advise that consumers avoid the menu item given they are spending just $3 for a grilled steak burrito, said registered dietitian Pamela Wurley, explaining that excess caution was warranted in consuming Taco Bells $3 chipotle ranch grilled steak burritowith its marinated grilled steak, creamy chipotle sauce, tortilla strips, and avocado ranch saucegiven that all of those ingredients were offered for a mere $3 and that the menu item was from Taco Bell. Now, we understand why someone looking for a cheap, satisfying meal might be tempted by a drive-thru steak burrito for less than $5. However, we cannot emphasize enough that this is made from steak, the most expensive protein at the grocery store, and served as a full-on burrito for only three American dollars. No part of the cow falls in that price range, including the bones and teeth. Even in good times, this $3 entree should be cause for concern, but given the recent bout of inflation and instability in global supply chains, it is imperative that consumers avoid the Cravings Value Menu at all costs. Wurley went on to stress that not even bean burritos should be that cheap.The post Nutritionists Warn Taco Bell $3 Steak Burrito A $3 Steak Burrito appeared first on The Onion.

A federal judge has sided with a sorority that inducted a transgender sister after several other members sued over the definition of the word woman.Having considered the issues presented (again), we find that the majority of the claims must be dismissed on the grounds that this Court still may not interfere with [the sororitys] contractually valid interpretation of its own Bylaws, U.S. District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson, a Ronald Reagan appointee, wrote in his ruling. Related This sorority explicitly banned trans women in its new diversity statement The case started in 2023 when six sisters at the University of Wyoming chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma Jaylyn Westenbroek, Hannah Holtmeier, Allison Coghan, Grace Choate, Madeline Ramar, and Megan Kosar sued their sorority for inducting a transgender woman. The cis women argued that the sorority breached its contract with them by allowing the trans woman to join, citing the part of the bylaws that refer to members as woman and women and saying that trans women arent really women.The complaint itself was full of invective for their transgender sister, including her height and weight, accusing her of having an angry glare, and misgendering her with he/him pronouns throughout. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today It only took Judge Johnson a couple of months to throw out their lawsuit, scolding the plaintiffs for including so many personal insults towards the trans woman that they barely had any room left for their legal claims against Defendants.That would have been the end of it, but the cisgender sisters filed another lawsuit this year, citing the new presidential administrations opposition to transgender rights and claiming that the sorority allowing a trans woman to join is inconsistent with its reliance on the exemptions for single-sex organizations under Title IX. Title IX is the federal law that bans discrimination on the basis of sex in education. The Biden administration interpreted this as a ban on anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination, since its impossible to discriminate against a sexual orientation or gender identity without taking sex into account. Conservatives, though, argue that this law requires anti-trans discrimination since it defines a group of people based on sex, not gender.But the judge rejected their arguments again, noting that Kappa Kappa Gammas bylaws dont define the words woman or women to be exclusively referring to cisgender women. He even noted that the sorority published and distributed multiple texts showing that its interpretation of those words is trans-inclusive, so the plaintiffs cant claim that their contract with the sorority was understood to mean that trans women would be excluded. The trans sister herself, Artemis Langford, graduated from the university earlier this year and said that shes leaving the state. She told Wyoming Public Radio that the publicity that the case attracted led to death threats against her. Every day I woke up feeling like, Oh, why does my mouth taste bad? And then realizing like, Oh, my heart is racing and my mouth tastes like cotton. Oh, Im having a panic attack,' she said. Like Im waking up with a panic attack, or some nights just having total insomnia.I think some of it has to do with just the grace of God helping me get through those finals and being so like, I have to pass. Like, I cant let these guys win by having me fail academically. I just had to push, push, push to succeed. And somehow I managed to get through it.But, she stressed, she doesnt regret joining.I still think that theres immense value in Greek life, especially at the University of Wyoming. I joined for a reason. Theres a sisterhood in sororities that you cant really find anywhere else in 21st-century young adult life anymore, she said. And I would absolutely say people should continue if they want that.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
