Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed attacks on two ships in the Gulf of Aden and one in the Indian Ocean.The MSC Diego and the MSC Gina were attacked with ballistic missiles and drones in the Gulf of Aden, the Iran-aligned group’s military spokesperson Yahya Saree said on Thursday.The attacks on the ships in the Gulf of Aden – identified by the Houthis as the “Israeli” MSC Diego and the MSC Gina – were “accurate”, Saree said, without providing details.However, the United States-led Joint Maritime Information Center said two missile attacks took place on Tuesday, adding that no ship was hit and the crews were safe.Saree warned earlier this month that the group would target ships heading to Israeli ports in “any area we are able to reach” and announced the decision would be implemented “immediately”.The group has launched repeated drone and missile attacks on vessels in the crucial shipping channels of the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandab strait and the Gulf of Aden since November in what it says is a campaign of solidarity with Palestinians and against Israel’s war on Gaza.This has forced shipping firms to reroute vessels to longer and more expensive journeys around Southern Africa.

13 Judges appointed by Donald Trump say they will blackball graduates of Columbia University, ratcheting up a pressure campaign against schools they deem hostile to conservatives.The judges said the New York City school’s response to pro-Palestinian protests was inadequate and that the campus had become an “incubator of bigotry” with rampant antisemitism and a lack of diverse perspectives. The letter illustrates the relationship between influential judges and the law schools that train future attorneys and offers a glimpse into the potential repercussions for students and schools after a spring semester marked by disruptive pro-Palestinian demonstrations. None of the signatories attended Columbia.

UPDATE: • Hamas leaves talks• CIA chief leaves talks• No deal reached• Qatar, Israel still in Cairo• Netanyahu defiant against Biden• Clashes with HezbollahBoth the Israeli and the Hamas delegations as well as CIA director Bill Burns left Cairo on Thursday with no deal reached on a cease-fire or hostage release, hours after US President Joe Biden threatened to stop weapons shipments to Israel if it invades Rafah.Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas’ political bureau, confirmed in a post on Telegram that the delegation has left the Egyptian capital and is on its way to Qatar, where the group's political wing is based. Separately, Burns, who has been in the region since Saturday, also left Cairo on Thursday morning and is on his way back to the United States. The Israeli delegation departed later on Thursday, with sources telling Israel's Kan public broadcaster that "irreconcilable gaps" have emerged between the parties during the talks. The Israeli cabinet is scheduled to meet Thursday night. The departures come as another indication that a deal is not close. On Monday, Hamas said it accepted a proposal for a six-week cease-fire, the release of 33 hostages both alive and dead and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Israel would free 30 Palestinian prisoners for each female civilian hostage released. CIA, Israel and Hamas leave peace talks with no deal reached

In a day of legal drama at the Supreme Court, two significant rulings were handed down, stirring the legal pot and sparking conversations across social media platforms. The first ruling, Culley v. Marshall, saw the Court split 6-3, with Justice Kavanaugh leading the majority in affirming that while a timely forfeiture hearing is required in civil forfeiture cases involving personal property, a separate preliminary hearing is not mandated by the Due Process Clause. Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissented, raising concerns about the balance between property rights and due process. Meanwhile, in Warner Chappell Music v. Nealy, the Court ruled 6-3 that the Copyright Act entitles a copyright owner to monetary relief for any timely infringement claim, regardless of when the infringement occurred. Justice Gorsuch, joined by Justices Thomas and Alito, dissented, arguing for a more nuanced approach to copyright damages. With these rulings, the Court has set the stage for further debates on civil liberties and intellectual property rights, leaving legal enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the Supreme Court's ongoing saga.

It’s more about opposing Islamic fascism, barbarism and terrorism. Israel just happens to be on the front lines.
