Photo: Benjamin Netanyahu (Instagram) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has managed to regain some political support after a difficult year. On October 7, 2023, an attack by Hamas shocked Israel, causing the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.  Many thought Netanyahu's government wouldn't survive. His Likud party dropped in the polls, and it seemed unlikely he could stay in power. However, Netanyahu's recent military actions, including airstrikes in Lebanon and assassinations of key leaders in the region, have helped him gain more support. A recent poll shows that his Likud party would win 25 seats in an election today, an improvement from earlier numbers. Netanyahu's popularity is now at 38%, thanks to his aggressive military campaign, which many Israelis see as a strong response to the attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah.

Johnson, who has won five NBA championships and is worth over a billion dollars, is known for being honest about basketball.

Photo: Devin Haney (Instagram) Boxer Devin Haney has filed a lawsuit against Ryan Garcia , accusing him of battery, fraud, and unjust enrichment. This comes after their controversial fight on April 20, where Garcia won but later faced issues due to missing weight and testing positive for a banned substance.
