Quick Glance: UNRWA Report Highlights Lack of Evidence for Israel's Employee Militancy Claims
  • An independent review commissioned by the United Nations found that Israel has not provided evidence to support its accusation that a 'significant' number of employees of the U.N. relief agency for Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip are members of terrorist organizations.

  • The review, led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna, revealed that UNRWA 'plays an indispensable and irreplaceable role in the region,' despite issues such as employees expressing political views and offices being used for 'political or military purposes'.

  • The review listed recommendations to enhance UNRWA operations, including improved training, more rigorous employee screening, and a thorough review of all textbooks and supplements.

  • Concerns were raised regarding the screening of UNRWA employees and the content of textbooks, while Israel has yet to provide evidence to support the claim that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organizations.

In ‘Franklin,’ Michael Douglas Uses His Charm to Bankroll America
Quick Glance: Michael Douglas defends farting as Benjamin Franklin
  • Michael Douglas expresses no remorse for his portrayal of flatulence as a founding father.

  • In an interview with Sirius XM's The Jess Cagle Show, the Wall Street actor defended the scene in his Apple TV+ series Franklin where his Benjamin Franklin repeatedly breaks wind. Douglas delved into a book about Franklin and used 'Fart Proudly' to counter critics.

  • Indeed, Franklin penned an essay titled 'Fart Proudly' in 1781, delving into the science of flatulence and proposing ways to turn its odor into a pleasant scent.

  • The Apple TV+ series, based on A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America by Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff, narrates Franklin's endeavor to persuade the French government to back the American revolution.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil
  • The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

  • In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

  • Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

  • San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.
