Joe Biden Abstains From Watered-Down U.N. Gaza Resolution, Then Takes Credit Anyway

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 07:23:00 GMT

An estimated 570,000 people in the Gaza Strip are now starving. Three-quarters of the territory’s 36 hospitals are closed. The remaining nine, all in Southern Gaza, are “partially functional.” The shuttered hospitals in the north are serving as impromptu shelters for some of the 85 percent of Palestinians in Gaza who have been displaced, but did not trek south to escape the ravages of Israel’s ground invasion. Beyond an estimated death toll of 20,000, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, a devastating 355,000 are suffering from infectious diseases as conditions in the territory worsen.Amid all of this suffering, President Joe Biden delayed a U.N. vote for humanitarian aid to Gaza at least 8 times, watering it down until he felt satisfied enough to not veto it.The vote is on a U.N. Security Council proposal, put forward by the United Arab Emirates and repeatedly whittled down just for Biden, that calls for limiting the hostilities in Gaza and expanding aid distribution.

Man United scoring drought a team problem, Ten Hag says. Højlund awaits first EPL goal

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 07:23:00 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United’s inability to put the ball in the net is about more than just Rasmus Højlund, manager Erik ten Hag said on Friday.United paid $82 million to land the promising young striker, and while he’s delivered in the Champions League, the Denmark international has yet to score his first goal in the English Premier League.United’s scoring drought is at three games and counting ahead of Saturday’s game at West Ham.Ten Hag’s team has been blanked in four of its five matches in December. Unheralded midfielder Scott McTominay is the only United player to have scored this month — twice in a 2-1 home win over Chelsea on Dec. 6.“My philosophy (is) we have to attack with 11, so it’s not only about one player, it’s about everyone,” Ten Hag said. “We have to (make) the movements better, decision-making on the ball has to be better, and sometimes also we have to be more clinical.”The spotlight inevitably shines on the 20-year-old...

Report: Footballs in New England were deflated. But don’t blame the Patriots this time

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 07:23:00 GMT

The special teams footballs used in Sunday’s game between Kansas City and New England were reportedly underinflated — not by the Patriots, this time — an ironic throwback to the Deflategate scandal that captivated the football world for parts of three seasons and led to penalties against the team and quarterback Tom Brady.MassLive.com reported on Thursday that the Patriots complained to the officials during the first half of the Chiefs’ 27-17 victory that the balls used by the punters and kickers — which are specially marked, and referred to as “K-balls” — were too soft. They were tested at halftime and found to be inflated to 11 psi, the website reported, instead of the league-mandated range of 12.5-13.5 psi.After the 2015 Deflategate fiasco, when the NFL ruled that the Patriots were intentionally using underinflated footballs, the league took control of the game balls away from the teams.“We were aware of it in the first quarter,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Friday. “...

Live updates | UN Security Council passes Gaza aid resolution, but without calling for a cease-fire

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 07:23:00 GMT

The U.N. Security Council passed a new resolution that calls for speeding up humanitarian aid deliveries into Gaza, but without the original call for an “urgent suspension of hostilities” between Israel and Hamas.The United States and Russia abstained from Friday’s vote, which was delayed for days as diplomats sought to avoid a veto by the U.S., Israel’s closest ally. The U.N. says more than a half-million people are starving in Gaza because not enough food has entered the besieged territory as Israel keeps up its blistering campaign of airstrikes and ground operations for over 10 weeks. Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians are crammed into shelters and tent camps as winter descends, raising fears about the spread of disease. Palestinian officials said Friday that the death toll has now exceeded 20,000 — around 1% of the territory’s prewar population. The Health Ministry in Gaza does not differentiate between civilian and combatant deaths. Israel says more than 13...
