If covid and monkeypox wasn’t enough, experts are now warning of a new potential “global health threat”

There’s fresh warnings for an alarming case of a drug-resistant ‘super gonorrhoea’.

An Austrian traveller in Cambodia has reportedly caught the new strain of the STI while on holiday in Cambodia.

It is thought the traveller caught the sexually transmitted disease after visiting a sex worker while in the Southeast Asian country.

Experts are warning the drug-resistant STD could pose a “major global public health threat”.

A report published last week in Eurosurveillance warned that the new strain could pose a “major global public health threat,” according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

If multidrug-resistant strains of gonorrhoea start to spread, many cases of the STD might become untreatable.

While cases of drug-resistant super-gonorrhea are still relatively rare, numbers are rising.

Let this be a reminder to visit the doctor, in the U.S. gonorrhoea is one of the most commonly reported sexually transmitted infections, affecting millions of people around the world every year.

Trump gives Hamas deadline to accept Gaza peace plan amid rising pressure from Arab states and ongoing conflict in the region

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.
