Trump Threatens Military Action Against Nigeria:
President Donald Trump said he does not believe the U.S. is going to war with Venezuela but suggested President Nicolas Maduro's time in power may be nearing its end. Trump threatened to take military action against Nigeria and its government if they fail to halt violence against Christians by a terrorist group, Boko Haram. Through organized monitoring of violence, it says there is no evidence that Christians are killed more than any other religious group.
Gaza Ceasefire Violations:
“The violations of the ceasefire are happening every day,” Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani told CNN. The Israeli military killed three people in Gaza on Friday, according to Palestinian health authorities, with residents reporting Israeli shelling and gunfire in northern Gaza.
The former top lawyer of the Israeli military, Major General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, was arrested for her role in leaking surveillance video that showed Israeli soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner at the Sde Teiman prison last year. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the soldiers should be treated like “heroes, not villains.”
