Amber Heard has released a statement following a jury’s decision that she defamed former husband, actor Johnny Depp.

Read the full statement:

The disappointment I feel today is beyond
words. I’m heartbroken that the mountain
of evidence still was not enough to stand
up to the disproportionate power,
influence, and sway of my ex-husband.

I’m even more disappointed with what this
verdict means for other women. It is a
setback. It sets back the clock to a time
when a woman who spoke up and spoke
out could be publicly shamed and
humiliated. It sets back the idea that
violence against women is to be taken
seriously.

I believe Johnny’s attorneys succeeded in
getting the jury to overlook the key issue
of Freedom of Speech and ignore
evidence that was so conclusive that we
won in the UK.

I’m sad I lost this case. But I am sadder
still that I seem to have lost a right I
thought I had as an American – to speak
freely and openly.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
