As Prince Andrew’s sexual assault case continues in New York, the controversial royal is expected to argue that he has not been served papers and the allegations fall outside of the current jurisdiction

The Duke’s lawyer is likely to appear in a pre-trial court conference call on Monday… and it follows Andrew denying all of the charges laid against him.

The conference call will give the judge the opportunity to decide whether or not the papers were actually served by the lawyers of the accuser, Virginia Giuffre.

Virginia Giuffre alleges that Andrew sexually assaulted her when she was 17 at Ghislaine Maxwell’s house. The duke denies all allegations against him.

Giuffre was also an accuser of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and claims the Duke sexually assaulted her at three locations, including New York City.

The case put forward claims that Prince Andrew engaged in sexual acts without Giuffre’s consent, knowing “that she was a sex-trafficking victim”.

Andrew is the Queen’s second son and has consistently denied the claims.

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.
