Israel gave final approval Wednesday for a controversial settlement project in the occupied West Bank that would effectively cut off the West Bank from occupied East Jerusalem. The project has been on hold for over 20 years, largely due to pressure from previous U.S. administrations. Construction could begin shortly to build about 3,500 apartments on E1, a tract of land east of Jerusalem.

“The Palestinian state is being erased from the table not with slogans but with actions,” said far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Wednesday. “Every settlement, every neighborhood, every housing unit is another nail in the coffin of this dangerous idea.”

East Jerusalem was captured by Israel in the 1967 war, when it also seized Gaza and the West Bank. Proposals for a two-state solution have long envisioned East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state, but Israeli settlements, the separation barrier and other restrictions have severely fragmented Palestinian territory, making a contiguous state virtually impossible.

This comes as several Arab countries have denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for saying he is very attached to the vision of a “Greater Israel” — a term used to express support for Israel seizing more land in the Occupied Territories, Syria’s Golan Heights, as well as parts of Jordan and Egypt.

"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter." –President Donald J. Trump

Study proves ice in Antarctica increased for the first time in decades!

In a stunning reversal, Antarctica's massive ice sheet has gained ice for the first time in decades, temporarily bucking a long-standing trend of mass loss.

According to a new study published in Science China Earth Sciences, between 2021 and 2023, the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) gained approximately 108 gigatons of mass annually—largely due to an unexpected surge in snowfall over East Antarctica.

This growth, focused on four major glacier basins, marks a dramatic shift after years of rapid ice depletion and briefly slowed the pace of global sea level rise.

Researchers attribute the gains to anomalous precipitation, particularly in glacier-heavy regions like Totten and Denman, which had been losing mass at an accelerating rate throughout the previous decade. Using satellite data from the GRACE missions, the team recorded a clear reversal from the 2011–2020 period, when the ice sheet was shedding about 142 gigatons per year. While this temporary boost highlights the volatility of Earth’s climate systems, scientists caution that the growth is likely short-lived unless underpinned by sustained changes in global weather patterns.
