Court Term Reflects Reagan, Not Trump, Priorities

S7

Bloomberg Supreme Court reporter Greg Stohr says the court's latest term largely advanced long-standing conservative legal priorities rooted in the Reagan era, while rejecting several Trump-specific initiatives, including broad tariff powers. Joining David Gura and Christina Ruffini on Bloomberg This Weekend, Stohr says the justices left unresolved questions over presidential authority to remove Federal Reserve officials, signaled potential future debate over birthright citizenship and agreed to hear major challenges to state assault weapons bans next term.

Canada co-hosted the World Cup – but whose party was it?

S7

Les Rouges brought moments of joy to their nation. But there are plenty of questions around Canadian soccer as the tournament moves on It was standing room only in Toronto’s oldest bar, The Wheatsheaf, on Saturday lunchtime. For some, the wake had already begun. Nestled in the corner was a group of sullen Irish GAA fans, who had just witnessed Cork’s demoralizing defeat to Galway in the All-Ireland Hurling semi-final. Resplendent in their red and white as they gazed despairingly into the middle distance, at least they had another team to root for. It was an odd scenario. Canada is co-hosting this tournament but, due to the team’s second-place finish in the group stage, they were playing Morocco far to the south in Houston, Texas. But The Wheatsheaf was a sea of red and white as Canada fans gathered for the last-16 clash. Some guy even dusted off a vintage Manchester United 1999 jersey with ‘Beckham’ on the back. Anything for Canada. And that sense of collective patriotism soared when Wayne Gretzky – the once Great One now derided in his native land for cosying up to Donald Trump, amongst other curious missteps – popped up on TV screens and was booed mercilessly and enthusiastically by the crowd.

Israel eyes return to Gaza war within months, Channel 12 reports Submitted by MEE staff on Sun, 07/05/2026 - 14:54 Israeli broadcaster says officials expect 'Board of Peace' to rule Hamas has breached the ceasefire, potentially clearing the way for a renewed assault Displaced Palestinians walk past destroyed buildings and makeshift shelters near the al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, on 1 July 2026 (Omar al-Qattaa/AFP) Off Israel believes fighting in Gaza could resume within the next two months, potentially before October's elections, according to a report by Israel's Channel 12. The broadcaster, citing Israeli officials, said on Saturday that Israel expects the US-led "Board of Peace" to conclude within the next two to three months that Hamas has violated the agreement by refusing to disarm. Such a ruling could pave the way for Israel to renew raids in parts of Gaza outside their current control, raising the prospect of renewed fighting, the report said. Channel 12 also quoted a political source as saying the board's director-general, Nikolay Mladenov, had considered declaring Hamas in breach of the agreement two months ago but postponed the move at the request of mediators. "If nothing changes within three months, Mladenov will declare Hamas in breach of the agreement," the source said. The Board of Peace, chaired by US President Donald Trump, was established in January under a US initiative aimed at securing a settlement in Gaza. It followed the ceasefire agreement reached in October, which was intended to end the two-year genocide in Gaza, during which Israel killed nearly 72,000 Palestinians, devastated much of the territory and fuelled one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Despite the ceasefire, Israel has repeatedly violated the agreement, killing more than 1,000 Palestinians since then, expanding the so-called buffer zone and maintaining tight restrictions on humanitarian aid. Hamas has refused to discuss disarmament until Israel fulfils its obligations under the first phase of the agreement.
