An official investigation into British government staff parties will look at three separate events that allegedly took place in 2020

Parties at Downing Street and the education department between the 27th November and the 18th of December will be the focus of the examination to see if any Covid rules were broken.

The British Paymaster General says any criminal activity uncovered may be reported to police.

This comes as the opposition Labour party calls for Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resign if it is found that he has misled MPs about the alleged parties.

Johnson announced on Wednesday that the inquiry will be carried out by top civil servant, Simon Case.

The alleged parties were brought to the world’s attention after video emerged of government staff joking about an event that took place at Downing Street… a day on which more than 400 Covid deaths were reported.

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.
