US President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of federal troops to Portland, Oregon, authorizing the use of 'full force' to suppress protests targeting immigration detention centers. The move has been met with criticism from Democratic lawmakers, who argue that there is no national security threat in Portland and that the deployment would be an abuse of power. Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has stated that she is working with the state's Attorney General to determine if any response is necessary. The protests in Portland have been ongoing since early June, with demonstrators clashing with ICE agents and federal charges being brought against 26 people. Trump's decision has drawn support from some Republican officials, while others have raised concerns about the legality of the deployment.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced a walkout at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as he addressed the body on Friday. The mass exit came after delegates spent days discussing the situation in Gaza and proposals to end the nearly two-year war. The response to Netanyahu was in stark contrast to the long round of applause that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas received when he addressed the international body virtually on Thursday. Netanyahu revealed that his speech was being broadcast on speakers surrounding the Gaza Strip and streamed to Gazans' cell phones. He demanded the release of the 48 remaining hostages held in Gaza and warned those holding them, including Hamas leaders, that Israel would 'hunt them down' if they were not released.
