Ireland set for its youngest ever prime minister after Simon Harris is elected leader of the Fine Gael party
pbs.org/newshour/world/ireland-set-for-its-youngest-ever-prime-minister-after-simon-harris-is-elected-leader-of-the-fine-gael-party
Quick Glance: Leo Varadkar: A Populist Who Struggled with Real People
- In May 2002, a young party activist analyzed the defeat of Fine Gael under Michael Noonan, emphasizing that none of the former leaders were the expected messiah for the party.
- Leo Varadkar's political legacy comprises valuable contributions, but he was never seen as a savior of the party. His ability to navigate contradictions made him a skilled politician, but he ultimately realized he couldn't balance on the political tightrope indefinitely.
- Varadkar was described as a politician who straddled conservatism and an increasingly progressive society. Despite his rapid rise in politics and popularity during crises, he struggled to address long-term challenges in areas like healthcare and housing.
- His popularity peaked during the Brexit crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, where he was seen as a unifying and authoritative leader. However, he failed to effectively tackle long-term structural issues in Ireland, especially in healthcare and housing, as his neoliberal views did not offer compelling solutions.

Quick Glance: Harris Warns of Consequences if Israel Invades Rafah
- Vice President Kamala Harris warns Israel of possible 'consequences' if a planned invasion of Rafah continues in its pursuit of Hamas fighters.
- The U.N. estimates that approximately 1.4 million people currently reside in the city located on Gaza's southern border with Egypt.
- Harris emphasized in an interview with ABC News that a major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake and there is nowhere for the residents to go.
- Despite U.S. concerns, Israel plans to invade Rafah to dismantle Hamas; Harris does not rule out 'consequences' from the United States.
