Description

Today’s Headlines: Seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen, led by Chef José Andrés, were killed in Gaza by Israeli airstrikes after unloading over 100 tons of food. The incident, despite clear markings and prior notification to the IDF, has sparked global condemnation and raised concerns about the safety of humanitarian workers. Fallout includes potential setbacks to aid delivery efforts and suspension of operations by other organizations due to safety risks. The tragedy has also fueled protests in Israel, demanding Prime Minister Netanyahu's resignation. In other news, the Oklahoma state Supreme Court hears arguments on reparations for survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, while details emerge about a company providing a bond to Donald Trump to prevent asset seizure for a civil fraud penalty. Additionally, a California lawmaker introduces a "right to disconnect" bill, granting employees the right to ignore after-hours communication from employers, with penalties for excessive contact.
