What's New Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara ordered an investigation on Thursday into Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's wife, Sara Netanyahu, over allegedly harassing political opponents and a witness in her husband's corruption trial. Newsweek reached out to the prime minister's office via online form for comment Thursday afternoon. Why It Matters The Netanyahu family has already been swimming in legal troubles. The controversial Israeli leader is currently the subject of a long-running corruption trial after he was indicted in 2019 on charges of fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes. Benjamin Netanyahu has denied all charges, claiming to be the victim of a "witch hunt." Sara Netanyahu, meanwhile, has previously been accused of abusive behavior toward her personal staff and of excessive spending and using public money for her own luxurious lifestyle. What To Know The Israeli Justice Ministry announced Thursday that an investigation into Sara Netanyahu would focus on the findings from a recent investigative report by Israel's Channel 12 Uvda program. The announcement did not mention Sara Netanyahu by name. The Justice Ministry declined to comment further, according to The Associated Press. What Did The Report About Sara Netanyahu Say? The report includes WhatsApp messages that appear to show Sara Netanyahu instructing a former aide to organize protests against political opponents and to intimidate Hadas Klein, a key witness in her husband's corruption trial. Klein is an aide to Israeli billionaire film producer Arnon Milchan who testified in Netanyahu's corruption case about her role in delivering tens of thousands of dollars worth of champagne, cigars and gifts to the prime minister for Milchan. Sara Netanyahu appeared to encourage police to crack down on anti-government protesters using violence and ordered Hanni Bleiweiss, a former aide to her husband, to organize protests against the prime minister's critics. She also told Bleiweiss to persuade activists in her husband's right-wing Likud party to publish attacks on Klein. Bleiweiss, who died of cancer in 2023, was allegedly mistreated by Sara Netanyahu, prompting her to share the message with a reporter shortly before her death, according to the Uvda report. Benjamin Netanyahu Denies Report The prime minister called the Uvda report "lies" in a video released earlier Thursday. "My opponents on the left and in the media found a new-old target. They mercilessly attack my wife, Sara," Netanyahu said. He called the program "false propaganda, nasty propaganda that brings up lies from the darkness," while painting Sara Netanyahu in a good light by detailing what he said were the many kind and charitable acts by his wife. What People Have Said National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir , who has repeatedly called for Baharav Miara to be fired over multiple grievances against her, said the Justice Ministry's Thursday announcement was another reason for her to be dismissed. "Someone who politically persecutes government ministers and their families cannot continue to serve as the attorney general," he said. Justice Minister Yariv Levin , another ally of the prime minister and critic of Baharav Miara, accused the attorney general of focusing on "television gossip" in a statement that also said, "Selective enforcement is a crime!" What Happens Next The Netanyahus will now have to balance Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial and the potential new probe into Sara Netanyahu amid mounting criticism of the prime minister's handling of the Israeli-Hamas war. The International Criminal Court (ICC) is seeking an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity for the war in Gaza. Netanyahu has called the charges "absurd and false." This article includes reporting from The Associated Press.

JIMMY Carter set a powerful model for ex-presidents despite the political crises he faced in the White House. The beloved leader's legacy extended far beyond his one term in the Oval Office with his sad passing at the age of 100 marking the death of one of America's kindest souls. James Earl Carter Jr. came from humble beginnings, born and raised on a peanut farm in Plains, Georgia, He was also the only US Naval Academy graduate to be elected to the White House before he took public office. But it was Carter's background that was part of his appeal, according to political scientist and professor at the University of Oregon, Daniel Tichenor. Tichenor exclusively told The U.S. Sun, “[Carter] was kind of relatively inexperienced, but that was also his enormous appeal because most Americans had lost trust in government and the presidency in particular and feeling that it had been corrupted." Carter ran for president in 1976, just two years after Former President Richard Nixon resigned from office following the Watergate scandal. Tichenor added that Americans also felt as if there were "a lot of deceptions surrounding the Vietnam War," which ended in 1975 after two decades of fighting. “The national spirit was low and here was somebody who was coming in with fresh ideas who wanted to make human rights and American morality front center in our foreign policy," the expert said. "And [Carter] also was promising unprecedented transparency and honesty as an elected official.” Carter was "very popular at the outset," according to Tichenor. One of the highlights of Carter's presidency was the Camp David Accords, a pair of political agreements signed in 1978 by Egypt and Israel that aimed to bring peace to the Middle East. But, the Carter administration also took several political blows that the 39th president couldn't recover from. “He faced in his first term, a number of crises and challenges that really tested him and ultimately led to his defeat in the 1980 election," Tichenor said. This included the Iran hostage crisis, where 52 US diplomats and citizens from the national Embassy in Tehran were held hostage for 444 days, the 1979 oil crisis which was caused by a decrease in oil production during the Iranian Revolution, and the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. “All these things really shook confidence in his administration," Tichenor said. And in 1980, Carter lost the presidency to Republican nominee Ronald Reagan. While Carter might have been dealt a hard defeat, he didn't give up in his commitment to service, in fact, he stayed active in public engagements until 2021 at the age of 97. “The vast majority of former presidents usually spent their time in leisure," Tichenor said. "Instead President Carter really set a powerful model for how to really be an agenda setter and someone who is a change agent after one’s presidency.” Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, founded the Carter Center in 1982, which "seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health ," on the global stage, according to their mission statement. One of the center's health programs, which has been around since 1986, includes the eradication of Guinea worm disease. Kai Bird, Carter's biographer, wrote in The New York Times , "He once told me that he hoped to outlive the last Guinea worm. "Last year there were only 13 cases of Guinea worm disease in humans," he said. "He may have succeeded." Carter and his wife have also contributed to Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit which builds houses for people in need across the world. The former president was “somebody who was ready to roll up his sleeves and give back in a powerful way," Tichenor said. In 2002, Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, which the Chairman of the Nobel Committee believed the former president deserved as early as 1978 after the Camp David Accords. This award has only been given to three other presidents and Carter was the only one to be handed the award after his presidency. Tichenor believes Carter was given the award for “a long tenure as a states person who tried to resolve conflicts around the world and to be a constructive force to encourage lasting peace." From peanut farmer to noble prize winner, Jimmy Carter committed his life to the well-being of not only the American people, but those in need around the globe. “I have one life and one chance to make it count for something," Jimmy Carter once said. "My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.” The 39th president of the United States , died after nearly two years in hospice care. His son Chip Carter confirmed the former leader died at his Georgia home on Sunday around 3:45 pm ET. Carter peacefully passed away surrounded by his family who paid an emotional tribute to the former leader. Carter is survived by his children, Jack, James, Donnel, and Amy, as well as 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A state funeral is expected to be announced in the coming days.Cameron Haffner helps Evansville end five-game skid with 57-40 victory over Missouri State

"The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few meters from where we were — and the runway were damaged," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social media. He added that he and U.N. colleagues were safe. "We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave," he said, without mentioning the source of the bombardment. U.N. spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay later said the injured person was with the U.N. Humanitarian Air Service. Israel's army later told The Associated Press it wasn't aware that the WHO chief or delegation were at the location in Yemen. People are also reading...

The Israeli strikes followed several days of Houthi launches setting off sirens in Israel. The Israeli military said in a statement it attacked infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa and ports in Hodeida, Al-Salif and Ras Qantib, along with power stations, claiming they were used to smuggle in Iranian weapons and for the entry of senior Iranian officials. Israel's military added it had "capabilities to strike very far from Israel's territory — precisely, powerfully, and repetitively." The strikes, carried out more than 1,000 miles from Jerusalem, came a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "the Houthis, too, will learn what Hamas and Hezbollah and Assad's regime and others learned" as his military has battled those more powerful proxies of Iran. The Houthi-controlled satellite channel al-Masirah reported multiple deaths and showed broken windows, collapsed ceilings and a bloodstained floor and vehicle. Iran's foreign ministry condemned the strikes. The U.S. military also targeted the Houthis in recent days. The U.N. says the targeted ports are important entryways for humanitarian aid for Yemen, the poorest Arab nation that plunged into a civil war in 2014. Over the weekend, 16 people were wounded when a Houthi missile hit a playground in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, while other missiles and drones were shot down. Last week, Israeli jets struck Sanaa and Hodeida, killing nine people, calling it a response to previous Houthi attacks. The Houthis also have been targeting shipping on the Red Sea corridor, calling it solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The U.N. Security Council has an emergency meeting Monday in response to an Israeli request that it condemn the Houthi attacks and Iran for supplying them weapons. Relatives and friends mourn over the bodies of five Palestinian journalists Thursday who were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah. Journalists killed in Gaza Meanwhile, an Israeli strike killed five Palestinian journalists outside a hospital in Gaza overnight, the territory's Health Ministry said. The strike hit a car outside Al-Awda Hospital in the built-up Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. The journalists worked for local news outlet Al-Quds Today, a television channel affiliated with the Islamic Jihad militant group. Islamic Jihad is a smaller and more extreme ally of Hamas and took part in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in southern Israel that ignited the war. Israel's military identified four of the men as combat propagandists and said that intelligence, including a list of Islamic Jihad operatives found by soldiers in Gaza, confirmed that all five were affiliated with the group. Associated Press footage showed the incinerated shell of a van, with press markings visible on the back doors. The Committee to Protect Journalists says more than 130 Palestinian reporters have been killed since the start of the war. Israel hasn't allowed foreign reporters to enter Gaza except on military embeds. Israel banned the pan-Arab Al Jazeera network and accuses six of its Gaza reporters of being militants. The Qatar-based broadcaster denies the allegations and accuses Israel of trying to silence its war coverage, which has focused heavily on civilian casualties from Israeli military operations. Mourners cry Thursday while they take the last look at the body of a relative, one of eight Palestinians killed, during their funeral in the West Bank city of Tulkarem. Israeli soldier killed Separately, Israel's military said a 35-year-old reserve soldier was killed during fighting in central Gaza. A total of 389 soldiers have been killed in Gaza since the start of the ground operation. The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed across the border, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting about 250. About 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, at least a third of whom are believed to be dead. Israel's air and ground offensive has killed more than 45,000 Palestinians, according to the Health Ministry. It says more than half the fatalities are women and children, but doesn't say how many of the dead were fighters. The offensive caused widespread destruction and hunger and drove around 90% of the population of 2.3 million from their homes. Hundreds of thousands are packed into squalid camps along the coast, with little protection from the cold, wet winter. Also Thursday, people mourned eight Palestinians killed by Israeli military operations in and around Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The Israeli military said it opened fire after militants attacked soldiers, and it was aware of uninvolved civilians who were harmed in the raid. Get local news delivered to your inbox!

NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, widely regarded as the architect of India’s economic reform program and a landmark nuclear deal with the United States, has died. He was 92. Singh was admitted to New Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences late Thursday after his health deteriorated due to a “sudden loss of consciousness at home,” the hospital said in a statement. “Resuscitative measures were started immediately at home. He was brought to the Medical Emergency” at 8:06 p.m., the hospital said, but “despite all efforts, he could not be revived and was declared dead at 9:51 p.m.” Singh was being treated for “age-related medical conditions,” the statement said. A mild-mannered technocrat, Singh became one of India’s longest-serving prime ministers for 10 years and leader of the Congress Party in the Parliament's Upper House, earning a reputation as a man of great personal integrity. He was chosen to fill the role in 2004 by Sonia Gandhi, the widow of assassinated Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi . But his sterling image was tainted by allegations of corruption against his ministers. Singh was reelected in 2009, but his second term as prime minister was clouded by financial scandals and corruption charges over the organization of the 2010 Commonwealth Games. This led to the Congress Party’s crushing defeat in the 2014 national election by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party under the leadership of Narendra Modi . Singh adopted a low profile after relinquishing the post of prime minister. Prime Minister Modi, who succeeded Singh in 2014, called him one of India’s “most distinguished leaders” who rose from humble origins and left “a strong imprint on our economic policy over the years.” “As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives,” Modi said in a post on the social platform X. He called Singh’s interventions in Parliament as a lawmaker “insightful” and said “his wisdom and humility were always visible.” Rahul Gandhi, from the same party as Singh and the opposition leader in the lower house of the Indian Parliament, said Singh’s “deep understanding of economics inspired the nation” and that he “led India with immense wisdom and integrity.” “I have lost a mentor and guide. Millions of us who admired him will remember him with the utmost pride,” Gandhi wrote on X. Born on Sept. 26, 1932, in a village in the Punjab province of undivided India, Singh’s brilliant academic career took him to Cambridge University in Britain, where he earned a degree in economics in 1957. He then got his doctorate in economics from Nuffield College at Oxford University in 1962. Singh taught at Panjab University and the prestigious Delhi School of Economics before joining the Indian government in 1971 as economic advisor in the Commerce Ministry. In 1982, he became chief economic adviser to the Finance Ministry. He also served as deputy chair of the Planning Commission and governor of the Reserve Bank of India. As finance minister, Singh in 1991 instituted reforms that opened up the economy and moved India away from a socialist-patterned economy and toward a capitalist model in the face of a huge balance of payments deficit, skirting a potential economic crisis. His accolades include the 1987 Padma Vibhushan Award, India’s second-highest civilian honor; the Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Award of the Indian Science Congress in 1995; and the Asia Money Award for Finance Minister of the Year in 1993 and 1994. Singh was a member of India’s Upper House of Parliament and was leader of the opposition from 1998 to 2004 before he was named prime minister. He was the first Sikh to hold the country’s top post and made a public apology in Parliament for the 1984 Sikh Massacre in which some 3,000 Sikhs were killed after then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by Sikh bodyguards. Under Singh, India adopted a Right to Information Act in 2005 to promote accountability and transparency from government officials and bureaucrats. He was also instrumental in implementing a welfare scheme that guaranteed at least 100 paid workdays for Indian rural citizens. The coalition government he headed for a decade brought together politicians and parties with differing ideologies that were rivals in the country’s various states. In a move hailed as one of his biggest achievements apart from economic reforms, Singh ended India’s nuclear isolation by signing a deal with the U.S. that gave India access to American nuclear technology. But the deal hit his government adversely, with Communist allies withdrawing support and criticism of the agreement growing within India in 2008 when it was finalized. Singh adopted a pragmatic foreign policy approach, pursuing a peace process with nuclear rival and neighbor Pakistan. But his efforts suffered a major setback after Pakistani militants carried out a massive gun and bomb attack in Mumbai in November 2008. He also tried to end the border dispute with China, brokering a deal to reopen the Nathu La pass into Tibet, which had been closed for more than 40 years. His 1965 book, “India’s Export Trends and Prospects for Self-Sustained Growth,” dealt with India’s inward-oriented trade policy. Singh is survived by his wife Gursharan Kaur and three daughters.

LG Energy Solution Hosts 'Battery Innovation Contest (BIC) 2025' to Foster Breakthrough Battery TechnologiesNEW ORLEANS (AP) — One person was shot to death Thursday afternoon and three others were injured in the French Quarter, New Orleans' historic tourist district, police said. Police responded to the shooting at the intersection of Iberville and Royal streets at around 12:21 p.m. and had at least one of three suspects in custody, Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick told reporters. Kirkpatrick said at least three masked suspects were in a silver 2016 Honda Accord when they pulled up outside Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse and opened fire. “This was not random, and we could see that,” Kirkpatrick said in a media briefing at the scene. The arrested suspect's name and the expected charges have not yet been released. Kirkpatrick urged the other suspects to come forward. “We know who you are,” she said. “We're asking you to come in, turn yourself in.” At least one firearm has been recovered, she said. It’s the second shooting incident within a week in Orleans Parish. On Sunday, gunfire broke out twice as the Nine Times Social Aid & Pleasure Club’s second line parade rolled through a neighborhood, wounding 10 people, then killing two people and wounding a third 45 minutes later as the parade crossed the Almonaster bridge. “Tragically, we are faced with another mass shooting this week,” said New Orleans City Council president Helena Moreno in a statement. “This is an overall gun violence problem throughout our city and we cannot stand for it. This is not who we are and those responsible will be apprehended and fully prosecuted.” Kirkpatrick noted that in November 2023, 20 murders were recorded. Thursday's shooting brings the number to nine so far for November 2024, she said. The last shooting involving multiple people in the French Quarter happened in Nov. 2022, when five people were shot, none fatally, in the 200 block of Bourbon Street. In Nov. 2016, one person died and nine were wounded in a shooting in the 100 block of Bourbon Street shooting. Meanwhile, the two victims from Thursday's incident were listed in stable condition and a third was in surgery, Kirkpatrick said. Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse was closed at the time of the shooting. No workers were injured and the business will remain closed Thursday, spokesperson Lindsay Ross told The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate.
