A Vatican vandal has destroyed two statues in the Vatican Museum, after being refused a visit with the pope

VATICAN VANDAL – Europe has been flooded with tourists this year, many of who are there for the right reasons.

However, in the Vatican, one American tourist has smashed two priceless statues, over 2000 years old.

In a bizarre series of events, the tourist became angry after he was denied access to visit the pope.

After his demands were refused, the enraged tourist toppled one Roman artifact and then another on his way out.

The area holds around 1000 pieces and openly describes itself as “one of the finest collections of Roman portraits.

The damaged pieces are now being assessed to see if they’re beyond repair… as for the erratic tourist well he’s in the hands of the police.

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.
