In Short:
– Lachlan Murdoch becomes head of the family media assets after a succession battle.
– His siblings receive $1.1 billion each in the buyout agreement.

The succession battle at Rupert Murdoch’s media empire has concluded. According to Bloomberg, Lachlan Murdoch, his eldest son, will take control of the family’s media assets, which include Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and The Times in the UK.

His three older siblings will receive approximately $1.1 billion each for their shares. This resolution follows a legal dispute among Murdoch’s eldest children, reminiscent of the HBO series “Succession.” Lachlan’s leadership is significant, as he is perceived as the most conservative sibling. He has been the chairman of News Corp since 2023, overseeing numerous publications.

The siblings initially challenged their father’s attempt to shift voting power, a project he called “Project Family Harmony.” Murdoch believed Lachlan was best suited to lead the empire.

Trust Agreement

The family agreed on a buyout after extensive negotiations. A Nevada commissioner previously ruled that Rupert and Lachlan acted in bad faith regarding trust terms. News Corp expressed confidence in Lachlan’s leadership as pivotal for the company’s future success.

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
