U.S. President Joe Biden has mourned the death of 10 Black individuals who were shot and killed during a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York

Biden used an address to condemn white supremacists, while also taking aim at the media, the internet and politics for spreading racist conspiracy theories.

The President labelled the attack as domestic terrorism, which follows police saying the suspect carried out an act of “racially motivated violent extremism”.

18-year-old Peyton Gendron is the accused.

Authorities allege Gendron killed 10 people and injured three more at the Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo on Saturday.

He has been charged with first-degree murder and taken into custody without bail, pleading not guilty.

A number of high-ranking U.S. officials have responded to the attack, saying violence from so-called white supremacists is ‘one of the biggest terrorism threats’ the country is facing.

Stopping at a memorial with his wife, Jill and a number of other New York political leaders, Biden said white supremacy a ‘poison’.

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.
