After the recent conflict with Gaza, though, many thought the Abraham Accords was dead. Where was the promised peace, with rockets flying? To these skeptics, I would say, look at the bigger picture. The Abraham Accords are not about an Emirati and Israeli future but the whole region’s future. The truth is, the Middle East conflict isn’t between the Israelis and Palestinians but between Israel and Iran. Ask yourself who benefits from this conflict?...

Bolt is a well-decorated athlete, and he has dominated this event for years. To see him not finish in first is an odd sight. Instead, Justin Gatlin won gold while Christian Coleman placed second, the first time an American duo finished 1-2 at the worlds since 1991. The event was a spectacular scene, so in order to honor it properly, we did so with photographs of the event. Enjoy these eight photos from Bolt’s final 100m race:...

Apparently the wounds from the November deal that sent Prince Fielder to the Rangers are still raw for the 31-year-old second baseman. SN POWER RANKINGS: Rangers No. 2, Tigers No. 3 "To be honest with you, I hope they (the Rangers) go 0-162," Kinsler tells ESPN The Magazine. "I got friends, and I love my friends, but I hope they lose their ass." Well, then. In a lengthy profile in the magazine, Kinsler makes it clear he is not happy with the Rangers organization, which went to the World Series in 2010 and 2011 but failed to capture the American League West in 2012 and didn't make the playoffs in 2013....

Trump shared a doctored photo of the two rappers sitting side by side, both wearing “Trump 2020” hats. The president’s son called them, “Two great, courageous Americans,” but Ice Cube was seemingly not pleased by the manipulated image. “N***a please,” the former N.W.A. member wrote in a quote tweet. Eric Trump has since deleted the tweet, but it was shared in a screenshot by Buzzfeed media editor Craig Silverman. He also included a tweet from Ice Cube that included the unedited photograph of 50 Cent and Ice Cube wearing a Yankee hat and Big 3 hat, respectively....

Koningshavenbrug, known as De Hef, in Rotterdam, is set to be dismantled to allow the 417-foot Y721 to pass through when it is completed later this year, according to Dutch broadcaster Rijnmond. The now-decommissioned lift bridge is considered to be one of Rotterdam’s landmarks and is listed on several travel websites as a sightseeing destination. Bezos’ yacht is currently being built at the Oceano shipyard in nearby Alblasserdam but will need to leave via the Koningshavenbrug to make it out to sea....

On Friday, more than 45,000 new coronavirus cases were reported according to a New York Times database. States including Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas have seen COVID-19 cases spike this week, prompting fears around hospital capacity. In southern California’s San Bernardino County, for instance, officials were planning to turn the National Orange Show Events center into an emergency hospital, CBS Local reported. Over the past two weeks, intensive care unit admissions in California have spiked by 19 percent, California Gov....

The super fight between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Gennady GGG is dominating the boxing headlines, but a lot of other things have been happening in the sport. Here’s a rundown: RIP, Manny Siaca The World Boxing Association announced Tuesday that Siaca had died at age 74. Respiratory arrest was given as the cause. Siaca, a native of Puerto Rico, served in Vietnam during his time in the U.S. Navy, where he began his fighting career....

The state budgeted $200,000 for the bounties available through next summer. The money will come from licensing and fees for hunters to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and will be distributed by Idaho’s Wolf Depredation Control Board in partnership with the Foundation for Wildlife Management, a group that strives to protect deer and elk herds. Hunters will be paid $2,500 for killing a wolf in an area where Fish and Game says wolves are chronically preying on livestock and $2,000 per wolf in locations where the department says predators are keeping elk from “meeting management objectives....

The statement cautioned that residents of the state may not be able to access the same level of medical treatment that they would usually get when hospitalized, referencing “a severe shortage of staffing and available beds in the northern area of the state caused by a massive increase in patients with COVID-19 who require hospitalization.” Under the “crisis standards of care” designation, hospitals are permitted to dole out resources, like intensive care unit beds, to patients with the highest chance of survival....

The Idaho House never officially adjourned, but the Senate did in May. Though the Idaho attorney general’s office said that the reconvening is probably legal despite its break from the usual protocol, a court may not agree, which would nullify any laws passed, the AP reported. The lawmakers were able to sort the accumulation of proposed legislation and send the bills to different committees before the House went into recess late Monday morning....

To respect the privacy of the child’s family, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare did not publically announce the infant’s name or age. “Our hearts go out to the family of this child,” Elke Shaw-Tulloch, administrator for the Idaho Division of Public Health, said in a Tuesday statement. The death was confirmed by the Idaho Divison of Public Health and Southwest District Health, which oversees health facilities in Canyon, Adams, Owyhee, Payette, Gem, and Washington counties....

Last month, officers with the Moscow Police Department responded to a home located near the University of Idaho and discovered Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20, fatally stabbed. As of Tuesday, the Moscow Police Department has yet to identify a suspect or person of interest in the case, which has prompted an array of different theories across social media. In a recent YouTube video, Moscow Police Captain Roger Lanier spoke about the investigation and said rumors and speculation on social media have frustrated detectives....

During an interview with Brian Entin of NewsNationNow, Latah County Prosecuting Attorney Bill Thompson was asked about the ongoing investigation into the murders and specifically if the perpetrator left any “messages” or “symbols” behind. “I’m not aware of anything like that,” Thompson said in response. On November 13, officers with the Moscow Police Department were called to a residence near the University of Idaho for reports of an unconscious person....

House Bill 226, which would have given Idaho’s education board access to almost $6 million in federal grants, was voted down by state lawmakers on Tuesday.

A 2020 law banning abortions except in cases of reported rape or incest or to protect the mother’s life is set to take effect in the deeply conservative state 30 days after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its landmark Roe v. Wade ruling on June 24. At the Idaho GOP convention in Twin Falls on Saturday, delegates approved changes to the party platform that criminalize all abortions without exceptions for rape, incest or to save the life of the mother, according to Idaho Reports....

Republican Dan Johnson ran for mayor in Lewiston, Idaho, and won 52 percent of the vote this week. He is also in his sixth and final term in the Senate after saying he won’t seek re-election. To adequately schedule his time, he plans to hire substitutes to assist him in the Legislature. While Johnson is in a unique position, the substitution practice is not uncommon. “Every legislator designates three substitutes, so it’s very common for legislators to have assistants sit in for them,” Johnson told The Lewiston Tribune after the election....

The Identitarian Movement, which is pan-European but has 600 members in Germany alone, is a group that defends what it characterizes as Europe’s “white identity and culture” from supposed attack by liberalism, immigration, and Islam. Its supporters subscribe to the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, founded by French philosopher Renaud Camus, that a global elite is attempting to replace the white race with others via mass immigration across the western world....

Germany does not allow it. The government keeps tens of thousands of war refugees like Duraku barred from the labor market–even if they have been here for years, bring needed skills and have already assimilated into society. So even though he has learned German, taken a computer course and found an employer who wants him as a paralegal, the local labor office keeps saying nein. His children have stamps in their passports that say all work or education beyond high school is verboten....

First, the Democrats: Barack Obama is the alternative energy sector. Hybrid, next-generation upstart, unafraid of entrenched market leaders and embraced by corn-growing Iowans, Silicon Valley venture capitalists, and East Coast moneymen. While mocked by establishment for naivete, unviable business plans and the audacity to question traditional market leaders, manages to rise above toxic emissions. National market share still lags behind legacy systems, yet attracts hot money, media attention galore, and younger consumers....

“Robert has to, first of all, be honest with himself and how he’s feeling,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Monday. Griffin, the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, has been sidelined since dislocating his left ankle in Week 2 against Jacksonville. “I wouldn’t rule him out. He’s got a way’s to go to show that he can play, show that that ankle’s 100 percent. That’s the big thing,” Gruden said....
