U.S. President Joe Biden opened a five-day European trip Friday with an extended visit with Pope Francis at the Vatican, where the world’s two most prominent Roman Catholics ran overtime in talks expected to cover the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, poverty and more.
The Hamas-Israel ceasefire deal marks a crucial step toward ending hostilities, with the release of hostages and prisoners as key components. The pause in attacks provides a temporary reprieve for Gaza, though the future depends on successful negotiations to extend the truce and rebuild the region. No official word yet on whether Hamas will receive the mortal remains of Yahya Sinwar.

President Joe Biden, during his 18-minute farewell address from the Oval Office, was seen sitting on a small pillow for support. The 82-year-old president addressed threats to democracy, warning of a growing "oligarchy" and a "tech-industrial complex," indirectly referencing Elon Musk. Biden also called for Supreme Court term limits and a constitutional amendment to hold presidents accountable for crimes. His remarks on dark money in politics drew criticism, especially after honoring George Soros. The speech concluded with Biden wishing success to incoming President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump’s controversial proposal to purchase Greenland from Denmark has sparked intense debate across the United States. The former president, citing national security reasons, revived the idea in his latest political moves, despite the pushback from many corners. A recent USA TODAY poll reveals that only 11% of Americans fully support the idea, while 29% think it's a good but unrealistic notion. In stark contrast, 53% of respondents opposed the plan, with the division deepening across party lines — 86% of Democrats rejected the proposal, while only 23% of Republicans supported it. The idea has met widespread opposition, with many questioning its feasibility and the long-term implications of such a move.

As part of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, three American-Israeli hostages will be released in two phases, following over 15 months of captivity. The first phase will begin on January 19, with the release of 33 Israeli hostages and an undisclosed number of Palestinian prisoners. American hostages Sagui Dekel-Chen, Keith Siegel, and Edan Alexander will be freed, with Dekel-Chen and Siegel qualifying for immediate release due to injury and age. U.S. President Biden vows to bring all American hostages home, living or deceased.
