A protester wearing a Benjamin Netanyahu mask displays symbolic handcuffs following the Israeli Prime Minister’s firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on November 5. Netanyahu announced the decision earlier in the day, pointing to “significant gaps” between the two on handling the war in Gaza. Gallant—who had been first fired in March 2023 and was then reinstated—was known to be among the prime minister’s biggest critics in government, advocating for a more moderate approach to ceasefire talks with Hamas. Foreign Minister Israel Katz, who is more hawkish and aligned to Netanyahu’s thinking, was named as Gallant’s successor. Following the announcement, demonstrators took to the streets of Tel Aviv, blocking off one of the city’s major highways.…

WHETHER IT’S A NEWLY IMAGINED sport utility vehicle or the reemergence of a highly regarded halo car, the vehicles coming to market in 2025 prove that Americans’ attitudes about personal transportation are diverse and are being served from all angles. Automakers are developing and producing vehicles that are available with several powertrain options, fit the lifestyles of modern families, can adapt to the terrain and go further off-road than ever before. All that comes at a price. The cost of owning a vehicle today is higher than ever before. Not only are parts and labor more expensive than they used to be, but insurance rates are also predicted to have skyrocketed 22 percent nationally in 2024 based on analysis from Insurify. And in some states, rates are expected to spike…

THE 1960S AND ’70S WERE THE GOLDEN age of the square-bodied sport utility vehicles with International Harvester, Ford, Jeep and Chevrolet creating rugged off-roaders for adventurous Americans. Then, International Harvester’s Scout brand featured a popular lineup of rugged SUVs and pickup trucks before falling out of popularity in the early ’80s. This led to the sale of its passenger vehicle business to Navistar International in 1986, followed by the purchase of Navistar by Volkswagen Group in 2020. Flash forward to 2024: Scout has been reborn as Scout Motors, an American startup, stand-alone brand with backing by Volkswagen Group. The Group’s brands include Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley and Volkswagen in the U.S. The first vehicles out of the gate for the brand will be the Scout Traveler, an SUV that pays…

MY EARLIEST GAMING MEMORIES ARE OF playing Mario on the Nintendo Game Boy. It was a big thing at school, and then after that came Pokémon. My mom even has a picture of me playing the Game Boy while on the potty. I don’t know how I got the Game Boy. I think everybody was riding the same wave and it was the new fad, but my parents weren’t really gamers. They are into sports and traditional games, such as badminton, volleyball and cards. I love gaming but I also like sports and I can see a natural correlation between the two. They’re both about competing and reaching your potential, and breaking down how the game could and should be played to maximum effect. The gaming was just a generational…

POLITICS DONALD TRUMP WON THE 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, defeating Democrat rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, in one of the greatest comebacks in political history. Addressing supporters in the early hours of November 6, the 47th President of the United States called it a “political victory that our country has never seen before” and promised a “golden age” for the U.S. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he said, as his Republicans seized control of the Senate and, at time of going to press, looked set to maintain a House majority. Trump retakes the helm at a time of great international turmoil, with wars raging between Ukraine and Russia, and in Gaza and Lebanon between Israel and Iran proxies Hamas and Hezbollah, respectively. Tensions are also heightened…
