Accusing Netanyahu of leading Israel to a “diplomatic disaster much worse than Obama’s agreement” with Tehran in 2015, Liberman told reporters ahead of his weekly faction meeting in the Knesset that Israel “must inform the US that we do not accept any linkage, any connection, between the Iranian arena and the Lebanese arena.”
An Israeli who had been briefed on the deal with Iran, and who requested anonymity to discuss diplomacy, listed Israel’s main problems with the proposal:
- There are no clear answers regarding the treatment of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium, and not enough curbs on Iran’s nuclear program, with the deal appearing to rely on Iranian good will.
- Instead of creating the conditions for the collapse of the Iranian government, the deal would allow funds to start flowing back into its coffers.
- The deal lays out no clear mechanism for forcing Iran to halt its support for its proxy forces. But it would mean the suspension of Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah, the militant group it is fighting in Lebanon.
“AMA must be ready with the best attorneys, fight them tooth and nail and win,” she told members. “I will not be silenced, because, like you, I took an oath to protect our patients no matter who sits in Washington.”
A recent study in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry suggests that a single dose of psilocybin, paired with psychological support, may rapidly and safely reduce chronic suicidal thoughts in adults with severe, treatment-resistant depression.
This is a particular concern for the Russians because Ukraine has a decisive advantage in heavy bombers. According to some sources they may inflict more losses than the FPVs which get all the media attention. For whatever reason, Russia has not yet succeeded in fielding its own heavy bomber drones at scale and so has no answer to the Ukrainian development.

The campaign—managed by Bridges Partners LLC and coordinated via Havas Media Group Germany—is part of a $900,000 budget allocated for recruiting and training over a dozen influencers.
This effort is one arm of a broader foreign influence strategy launched after Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar secured a twentyfold increase in Israel’s global PR budget, raising it to $150 million in late 2024, as reported by The Jerusalem Post.
Documents also show that Israel pays $1.5 million per month to U.S. digital strategist Brad Parscale, former campaign manager for Donald Trump, to generate AI-driven pro-Israel messaging at scale.
The scientists are debating six potential experiments. These are big swings that require the purchase of multimillion-dollar microscopy machines and years of work.
The discussion of the experiments brings up biological phenomena as widespread as how rabies spreads in the cortex and the neurobiology of birdsong. They debate whether they should examine molecules and synapses or focus on bigger-scale cells or circuits. Are analyses of connectomes in the mouse brain sufficient for some purposes, or would only human brains do?
“I’m not convinced that it’s going to work," says Berkeley’s Recht, the Flourish adviser, of the company’s main mission. “But if it does, it would be amazing.” AI would never be the same. And a lot of data centers might fall empty.
Cambridge scientists say they have, for the first time, tested a vaccine designed by AI.
Tova Noel told congressional investigators she was not the unidentified figure captured on surveillance footage approaching his cell, and has no idea who was.
The Inspector General’s report had suggested the figure was likely hers, without providing evidence. An FBI log had floated the possibility that it was an inmate, which would itself have been highly irregular.
The strategy sets several specific goals such as:
Create up to 90,000 AI-related jobs and work opportunities for young Canadians by 2031
Help create up to 250,000 new jobs through AI adoption by 2031
Boost AI among businesses from 12 per cent today to 60 per cent by 2034
Build a “world-leading” supercomputer to boost sovereign infrastructure by 2031
Provide all Canadians with access to free AI literacy training
The results of the study show that supporters of the Democratic Party are mainly distinguished by their reluctance to date supporters of the other party rather than by a preference for fellow Democrats. Republican supporters, by contrast, both favour fellow Republicans and avoid Democratic partners. The study additionally found that politics matters for dating because political views are often seen as reflecting a person’s values, lifestyle, character, and whether they expect their social circle to approve of dating someone.
Lest we forget, Ahmadinejad had a reputation for such ruthless crackdowns on political opponents that Amnesty International noted in 2014 that his rule had “sounded the death knell for academic freedom in Iran”.
Yet, fast forward two decades, and Netanyahu reportedly now thinks Ahmadinejad is the best person to lead Iran; the person for whom it was worth killing Khamenei, Iran’s most influential opponent of nuclear weapons.
Isocaloric substitution of animal-protein with plant-protein is associated with lower all-cause mortality (by 9%), cardiovascular mortality (by 12%), and cancer mortality (by 5%)
A higher percentage of MAGA Republicans (52.2%) than of strong Democrats (32.1%) believed political violence is usually or always justified to achieve at least one political objective.
The two groups did not differ significantly regarding their stated willingness to personally injure or kill someone, and such willingness remained uncommon across all groups.
The human brain runs on an estimated 20 watts of power, a level of efficiency that silicon computing and artificial intelligence have not yet been able to replicate.
While it's "not aimed to replace what AI is doing" it's intended to "give us abilities that we've never had before," Kagan said.
The cells have a six-month lifespan and aren't yet capable of producing consistent, programmable results.
But analysts say the project's value could lie in its more sustainable power consumption compared to regular chips.
"We need better ways to manage that power envelope and get higher levels of efficiency," William Keating, CEO of semiconductor research company Ingenuity, said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that he has directed Israel’s military to take over 70% of Gaza’s territory.
Under a October 2025 ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, Israeli forces withdrew to a demarcation line known as the “yellow line” that left them in roughly 53% of Gaza.
Hamas has also refused to disarm or decommission its weaponry, Mladenov said, a key element of the ceasefire plan upon which much of the future of Gaza rests
The Golden State might be able to stomach more ultra-wealthy departures than first feared.
A 2021 ProPublica investigation found that between 2014 and 2018, the country’s 25 richest people saw their net worths rise a collective $401 billion, although they paid $13.6 billion in federal income tax, a rate of only 3.4%. The average federal income tax rate, meanwhile, stands at 14.5%, according to the Tax Foundation.
Human rights groups and lawyers say ‘voluntary migration’ policy amounts to ethnic cleansing
Israel’s defence minister has said he is committed to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza through large-scale migration of Palestinians as part of Israel’s long-term plans for the territory.
