White House calling on Russian Federation to release both Gershkovich and fellow detained American, Paul Whelan

New video shows the Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich being locked inside a glass box in a Russian court room.

It is a custom for detainees in Moscow, but difficult for many in the west to watch.

The judge rejected bail for Gershkovich, who will now be locked up for at least another month.

Russians arrested the 32-year-old journalist last month and accused him of espionage – but the Wall Street Journal and the White House strongly deny that charge.

The U.S. Ambassador to Russia said she met with him in person, and he is in good health, but she did not like what she saw.

The White House also weighing in after the court proceedings calling on the Russian Federation to release both Gershkovich and fellow detained American, Paul Whelan.

Some International intelligence officials say it appears that a prisoner swap could be likely in the coming weeks.

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.
