US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says lawmakers will vote next week to codify abortion rights into federal law

As Democrats lead an effort to protect abortion through enacting legislation, it’s unlikely to pass, needing 60 votes to pass in the 100-member chamber that is evenly split.

This of course follows a draft Supreme Court judgment being leaked just days ago, indicating the nation’s top court has decided to overturn the key Roe V. Wade decision.

If this is the case, it will make the legality of abortion a decision left for individual states.

While the draft could still change, if it is not altered, it will likely result in 26 states banning abortion within the space of just a few months.

Schumer says his fellow Republican lawmakers have two decisions, they can either “own the destruction of women’s rights, or reverse the course”.

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.
