Jacinda Ardern has a new role just weeks after resigning as New Zealand’s prime minister

Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has a new role.

Ardern will be working alongside international governments and social media companies to target extremism and terror content online.

Current PM Chris Hipkins announced the appointment, known as special envoy for the Christchurch Call.

It’s a newly created position.

Hipkins says the March 15 terror attacks on Christchurch were a defining moment for [the] country and Jacinda Ardern’s leadership and the Christchurch Call is part of [the government’s] response to those attacks.”

The Christchurch Call was created by Ardern in the wake of the mosque shootings, when a white supremacist killed 51 people.

The attack was live streamed on a number of social media platforms.

In the months that followed, Ardern pushed companies like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to create stronger protections to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

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.
