France to tighten security for New Year celebrations due to 'very high' terror threat| Oneindia News
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin announced on Friday (Dec 29) that his government plans to enhance security measures for New Year celebrations in France due to a 'very high' terror threat, according to Reuters.
Speaking to reporters, Minister Darmanin emphasised a robust mobilisation of police and gendarmerie services, citing a heightened terrorist threat linked to events in Israel and Palestine.
He called for the deployment of over 90,000 police and gendarmes, along with 5,000 soldiers from Operation Sentinelle.
What's the Origin
of April Fools' Day?.
The April 1 tradition of pranks has been observed
for several centuries across a variety of cultures.
However, the official origins of
April Foolsâ Day are unknown.
The most popular theory is that the day was
caused by the switch from the Julian calendar
to the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century.
The original calendar saw the New Year
beginning on March 25, with celebrations
occurring on the first day of April.
The switch moved the New Year to January 1,
but many still thought April 1 was the proper day
to celebrate, hence they were âApril fools.â.
Another theory says the day is related
to the arrival of Spring, when nature
âfoolsâ people with irregular weather.
Historians have also linked April Fools' Day to an
ancient Roman festival known as Hilaria, which
was celebrated by people dressing up in disguises.
Whatever its origin may be, April Foolsâ Day
has evolved to have its own lore and rules.
Superstition says that playing pranks
past noon or not responding to pranks
with good humor will attract bad luck

Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan made a dramatic statement at the United Nations General Assembly by tearing up the UN Charter in protest just before the assembly passed a resolution supporting full membership for Palestine. The resolution, which received overwhelming support with 143 votes in favour, asked the Security Council to grant full membership to Palestine, currently holding observer status at the UN. Twenty-five countries abstained from the vote, while nine, including the United States and Israel, voted against it. Erdan criticised the resolution as a "clear violation" of the UN Charter and accused it of circumventing the US veto in the Security Council. He described his actions as a symbolic reflection of the assembly's disregard for the principles outlined in the UN Charter.

Palestine gains the right to speak and participate in U.N. meetings. Israel's ambassador tears up the U.N. Charter in protest, likening the move to admitting "modern-day Nazis."
