TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli soldiers battled Hamas fighters in the streets of Israel’s south on Sunday and exchanged strikes with Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group in the north, while Israel’s retaliation strikes leveled buildings in Gaza.

They took captives back into the coastal enclave, including women, children and the elderly, while Israel’s retaliation strikes leveled buildings in Gaza and its prime minister said the country was at war.

Two German state elections expected to bring wins for conservative national opposition

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:35:09 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Two German states hold elections on Sunday at the halfway mark of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s unpopular national government, with polls showing the center-right opposition well ahead and Germany’s interior minister facing an uphill struggle in a bid to become governor of her home region.About 9.4 million people are eligible to vote for the new state legislature in Bavaria and around 4.3 million in neighboring Hesse, a region that includes Germany’s financial capital, Frankfurt. Both states are led by the country’s main opposition Union bloc, made up of the Christian Democratic Union and the Bavaria-only Christian Social Union.The outcome could increase tensions in Scholz’s three-party coalition, which has become notorious for infighting, and offer pointers to who might challenge Scholz in the 2025 national election.Polls point to the CSU, which has led Bavaria since 1957, extending that run — albeit with lackluster support, by its historical ...

In a conference on Friday with the presence of Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Mike Pompeo, former US Secretary of State underscored that one year after the beginning of the uprising against the ruling theocracy in September 2022, it is clear that “The protests in Iran were aimed at a democratic, free republic of Iran that is devoid of any form of dictatorship.

Even as important, change in Iran can only be achieved by those who have been working toward it for decades, those who have paid the price for it and contain the organizational structure to accomplish that objective. These things do not happen on their own. Finally, for the future, U.S. policy towards Iran has to be centered around support for this organized opposition and increasing pressure on the regime until it falls,” Secretary Pompeo said, adding,  “Iran will never return to the dictatorship of...
