Actor, Will Smith has won the Oscar for Best Actor, shortly after slapping presenter Chris Rock on the stage

In unbelievable scenes, actor Will Smith stormed the stage of the 2022 Oscars and slapped presenter Chris Rock across the face after the comedian mocked Smith’s wife’s hair.

Smith won Best Actor for King Richard, and took the moment to apologies for slapping Rock just moments earlier.

Earlier, Chris Rock appeared to have made Will Smith quite upset, after Rock stated on the stage that he “couldn’t wait” to see the sequel of G.I Jane, appearing to mock Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, the camera panned to the Red Table Talk host rolling her eyes and glancing sideways at Smith.

Smith got up and marched up to Rock, slapping him, before returning to his seat and yelling, “KEEP MY WIFE’S NAME OUT YOUR F**KING MOUTH” repeatedly as the crowd sat stunned and Rock was left speechless.

Eventually, Rock uttered that the altercation was one of the most “craziest things” to ever happen on live TV.

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.
