Australian NFL talent Daniel Faalele has received the tick of approval from draft experts

Towering at 203 centimetres and weighing over 170 kilograms, the Melbourne-born talent is the biggest man in the entire League.

He also wears size 18 shoes, and XXXXXXXXL-sized shirts.

The offensive lineman was selected from the University of Minnesota in the fourth round of the draft by the Baltimore Ravens.

He is set to begin his season as a backup lineman for the Ravens.

“When I took my 30 visit to the Ravens I had a really good feeling.”

Faalele says his best feature is “just how strong I am”.

“Being a bigger body, I have longer arms. So, just using those intangibles to my advantage,” he says.

Analysts are hopeful that it will take long the 22-year-old to take to the field.

Daniel Jeremiah from the NFL Network put it simply, “you’re not going to get through him, you’re going to have to get around him.”

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.
