protecting the civilians that
are in that battlespace, Lloyd Austin, United States Defense Secretary, via Al Jazeera.
Weâve not made a final
determination on how
to proceed with that

Ebrahim Raisi, the Iranian President known for his hard-line stance and close ties to the country's supreme leader, passed away at the age of 63. Raisi was heavily involved in the large-scale executions of thousands in 1988 and subsequently oversaw Iran's efforts to enrich uranium to levels close to those required for nuclear weapons. Additionally, he led Iran as it conducted a significant drone and missile strike against Israel. Given Raisi's polarising leadership and the myriad internal and external challenges confronting Iran, conjecture has arisen regarding the potential involvement of domestic adversaries or even external entities such as Israel.

Islamic Resistance in Iraq launched a drone attack on a strategic site in Israel's port of Eilat, targeting a vital installation. The group released a video showing the moment of the strike, claiming it as part of their ongoing struggle against the Israeli regime. This marks the first use of Al-Arfad suicide drones in operations against Israel. The frequency of such attacks has increased since the renewed Israeli offensive in Gaza. The resistance group pledged to continue targeting and destroying important Israeli installations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on May 5 that his government had unanimously voted to close down the local offices of Al Jazeera, a broadcaster owned by Qatar. Netanyahu announced the decision on X, formerly known as Twitter, but specifics regarding the implications, timing, and permanence of the closure remained unclear. This move marks an escalation in Israel's longstanding dispute with Al Jazeera and raises tensions with Qatar, particularly significant as Qatar is actively involved in mediating efforts to end the conflict in Gaza. Israel's contentious relationship with Al Jazeera stems from accusations of bias against the network.

technology-driven than our workplace

Biden Asserts Executive Privilege , Over Audio of Interview With Robert Hur.
In February, Hur's yearlong investigation
into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.
In February, Hur's yearlong investigation
into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.
House Republicans were provided a
transcript of Biden's interview with Hur, but they wanted the audio, which the DOJ denied.
As a result, House Republicans were
moving to hold Attorney General
Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
On May 16, the Department of Justice told House Republicans that the president asserted executive privilege over audio from his interview with the special counsel.
The move protects Garland from criminal exposure as GOP lawmakers seek to hold him accountable.
Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte
explained the DOJ's actions in a letter.
The Attorney General must draw a line
that safeguards the Department from
improper political influence and protects
our principles, our law enforcement work,
and the people who carry out that work
independently, without fear or favor, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
The Committees seek to hold the
Attorney General in contempt
not for failing in his duties,
but for upholding them, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
With the information you now have,
the Committees ought not to proceed
with contempt and should instead avoid
unnecessary and unwarranted conflict, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
White House Counsel Ed Siskel also wrote a letter supporting the assertion of executive privilege. .
The absence of a legitimate need
for the audio recordings lays bare
your likely goalâto chop them up,
distort them, and use them for
partisan political purposes, White House Counsel Ed Siskel, via letter
