Israel's Strategy in Dealing with Hamas
Israel's goal to eradicate Hamas is seen as righteous, but their approach has alienated allies, lacked a post-war plan, and had minimal successes in securing hostages. Despite the righteous goal, the damage from their strategy raises questions about its effectiveness.
Challenges of the Trump Trial
The ongoing Trump trial faces skepticism in its chances of conviction, banking on possible juror influence. The trial's outcome may end up focusing on proving altered documents without showing criminal intent, potentially leading to a misdemeanor charge.

The upcoming Mexican election poses severe threats to democracy due to Lopez-Obrador's authoritative actions targeting democratic institutions. The potential erosion of Mexican democracy could trigger increased instability and enforce dictatorial rule.
