Quick Glance: Israeli Push for Sanctions Against Iran Amid ‘Diplomatic Offensive’

Israel has launched a “diplomatic offensive” against Iran, urging sanctions against the Islamic republic.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has called on 32 countries to impose sanctions on Tehran as Israel considers a military response to Iran’s attack.

Israeli military sources reported intercepting 99 percent of aerial threats with assistance from the United States and allies, causing only minor damage.

Tensions are high as Israel ponders its reaction to Saturday's attack while Germany calls for new sanctions related to Iran's drone supply to Russia for use in Ukraine.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

Quick Glance: Sudan's Displaced Millions Suffer One-Year War Consequences

After fleeing the war in Sudan to Egypt, Mohamed Ismail's aspirations are limited to providing food for his five children from a meager monthly salary earned at a paper factory.

A seven-year-old son sleeps in his arms due to trauma from explosions before fleeing Khartoum in January.

Financial challenges lead some to return to the war-torn capital.

Sudan's war began on April 15, 2023, over a planned political transition where the army, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the RSF, led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, were competing to protect their interests.

Sunny Hostin, a lawyer, novelist, and co-host of 'The View', speculated on the connection between the solar eclipse, a New York earthquake, and the emergence of cicadas, hinting at climate change or something biblical.

Her co-hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg acted as real-time fact-checkers.

Hostin shared an incident where a makeup artist on the show left the building during the earthquake, claiming that Jesus was coming.

It was emphasized that earthquakes are not related to climate change, and solar eclipses are accurately predicted. Hostin's claims were corrected and discussed.
