In the wake of the cyberattack that took one of America’s most important gas pipelines offline, Joe Biden has moved to strengthen the country’s defense against hackers.

Biden is urging both private companies and government organisations to join forces and confront “persistent and increasingly sophisticated malicious cyber campaigns”.

Key measures introduced include the requirement for IT service providers to inform the government of breaches that may impact US networks.

There will also be a standardised book created to outline appropriate federal responses to cyber attacks.

The announcement from Biden came just hours after Colonial Gas and Diesel announced that it has finally restarted pipeline operations.

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.
