The next prime minister of the UK will be either Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss, after the Tories narrowed the field to the final two options.

The final round of votes eliminated Penny Mordaunt from the contest to find a new leader for the United Kingdom.

PENNY MORDAUNT WAS KNOCKED OUT IN THE FINAL CONSERVATIVE PARLIAMENTARY ROUND

Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss now enter six-weeks of hustings, where they will attempt to convince the Conservative membership at large that they are the right person to enter Downing Street.

FORMER CHANCELLOR RISHI SUNAK IS IN THE RUNNING TO BECOME THE FIRST PRIME MINISTER OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF ASIAN MINORITY ETHNIC BACKGROUND

Boris Johnson resigned as UK Prime Minister in early July, but remained on as interim prime minister until his replacement could be found.

The Conservative Party membership will now vote on whether Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss should lead the party.

FOREIGN SECRETARY LIZ TRUSS IS IN THE RUNNING TO BE THE UK’S THIRD FEMALE PRIME MINISTER

The results of these votes – which are likely to be postal ballots – won’t be announced until September 5th.

At which point, the United Kingdom will either have its third female prime minister, or its first prime minister of Asian minority ethnic background.

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.
