Key Witness in Trump's Trial: Michael Cohen Testifies
Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney, is set to testify in Donald Trump's criminal trial. Cohen's testimony is crucial as prosecutors aim to demonstrate Trump's involvement in concealing payments to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Cohen, who has already pleaded guilty to making false statements, may face intense questioning to discredit him as seeking revenge against Trump. Trump's defense is likely to paint Cohen as untrustworthy, implying potential bias in his statements.
Escalating Conflict in Gaza
Fierce fighting in Gaza sees civilians fleeing both the north and south due to clashes between Israeli forces and Hamas militants. The conflict has intensified in areas previously claimed by Israel, prompting a renewed surge of violence in the region. Israel's advance towards the Gaza city of Rafa has led to a mass exodus of nearly 360,000 residents seeking safety. The UN raises concerns over the civilian impact, warning of dire consequences if a full-scale invasion occurs. International pressure mounts on Israel to strategize post-war stability amidst escalating tensions.
