The motions were brought on by a small parliamentary group and the National Rally party

Two no-confidence votes against French President Emmanuel Macron’s government have failed in the country’s parliament.

This now clears the way for the hugely unpopular pension reforms to be implemented.

The first motion received 278 votes, which is just nine short of the 287 majority needed to pass.

It was brought forward by the small parliamentary group known as “LIOT,” which represents various small parties.

The second one was instigated by the far-right National Rally party and it drew less support, with only 94 lawmakers voting in favour.

Macron’s government resorted to the use of special constitutional powers last Thursday to push through the controversial legislation, raising the retirement age from 62 to 64.

But, despite the failed vote of no-confidence, anger against the reforms shows no sign of ending any time soon.

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.
