Israeli strike on a UN-run school in Gaza
An Israeli strike on a UN-run school in central Gaza resulted in the deaths of at least 30 people, including children.

This incident added to the international criticism faced by Israel due to escalating civilian casualties in Gaza.

The criminal conspiracy case against Donald Trump in Georgia, accusing him of attempting to overturn the 2020 election defeat, faced a halt as a Georgia appeals court reviews a decision allowing the prosecutor to remain on the case despite accusations of bias.
