Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, becomes the first American pontiff with deep Latin American ties. Born in Chicago, the 69-year-old missionary spent decades in Peru, where he became known for championing the poor, climate justice, and pastoral reforms. He vows to build on Pope Francis’ progressive legacy while bringing his own dynamic focus on social justice. With a background in immigrant roots and years of ground-level ministry, Leo XIV’s papacy promises continuity with reform, balanced by cultural sensitivity and strong episcopal leadership rooted in the Augustinian tradition.

Donald Trump called it a “Great Honor” as Robert Prevost became the first American pope, taking the name Leo XIV. The 69-year-old former Chicago bishop's election stunned the world and thrilled the U.S. But past tensions linger — Leo XIV previously criticized U.S. leaders, including Vice President JD Vance. Trump, however, welcomed the election warmly, writing on Truth Social that he looks forward to meeting the new pope. The moment marks a historic first for the Vatican and the United States, but political undertones remain impossible to ignore.

In his first major address since leaving office, Joe Biden took sharp aim at Donald Trump's Social Security policies, accusing the administration of trying to "wreck it so they could rob it." Speaking at the ACRD conference in Chicago, Biden warned of potential delays in benefits, criticized GOP tax priorities, and called for unity amid deep national divisions. He highlighted past Democratic leadership and earned ACRD’s Beacon of Hope Award. The Trump administration hit back on X, denying cuts and accusing Biden of misleading Americans. The 2024 political firestorm has begun.

Joy erupted in Tenafly, New Jersey and Tel Aviv as Edan Alexander, the last living U.S.-Israeli hostage in Gaza, was released by Hamas after over 19 months in captivity. The 21-year-old soldier, captured during Hamas’ October 2023 assault, was handed to the Red Cross. His release comes just before U.S. President Donald Trump’s regional visit and amid direct Hamas-Washington ceasefire talks. Emotional scenes played out at Hostages Square and in his hometown, where supporters cheered the long-awaited announcement. Hopes for peace reignite with this symbolic humanitarian breakthrough.

Hamas has released Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old U.S.-Israeli soldier taken hostage during the October 2023 Tel Aviv attack, marking the return of the last known living American hostage. His release comes ahead of former President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East, signaling possible ceasefire negotiations. Trump’s envoy praised the gesture and urged Hamas to release the bodies of four other Americans. The move, facilitated by Qatar and Egypt, is seen as a step toward peace in a conflict that has left over 52,800 Palestinians dead since Israel’s counteroffensive began.

As Hamas signals the release of US-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander, Israeli hostage families staged a powerful demonstration in Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square. With Donald Trump expected to visit the region, families are making urgent pleas for him to push Prime Minister Netanyahu into finalizing a comprehensive hostage deal. Yehuda Cohen, father of hostage Nimrod Cohen, emotionally demanded Trump’s intervention: “Force Netanyahu to act.” With rising pressure and international attention, the families hope their public appeals can turn political will into life-saving action for their loved ones still held in Gaza.

Tensions between former allies Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are now spilling into the open, as Trump's renewed backchannel negotiations with Iran spark deep concern in Tel Aviv. With the U.S. reportedly considering a deal that may allow Iran limited uranium enrichment for civilian use, Netanyahu has privately expressed alarm, viewing any concession as a direct threat to Israeli security. The rift deepened after Trump declined to rule out enrichment during recent Muscat talks, prompting Israel’s top adviser to urgently seek clarifications in Washington.

Hamas has released a video showing two Israeli hostages held in Gaza—Elkana Bohbot and Yosef Haim Ohana, both abducted on October 7, 2023. In the footage, Bohbot appears weak and unresponsive, while Ohana urges the Israeli government to end the war and secure their release. Families of the hostages are demanding urgent action, criticizing the government for not doing enough. Outside Israel’s Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, protesters held signs reading “We Can Save the Rest” and “All of Them Now,” as tensions over the stalled hostage deal intensify.
