White House Correspondents' Dinner 2025: No Trump, No Jokes, No… | US | Washington | WATCH

The White House Correspondents' Dinner this year was missing key figures and moments, marking an offbeat, lackluster evening.

President Trump, who skipped the event as usual, left no surprise.

But the true shock came when comedian Amber Ruffin, the originally planned entertainer, was fired after sharp political commentary, leaving the dinner without its comedic edge.

The event, once a venue for bold speeches and satire, became a more somber affair, with journalists recognizing each other's work in a vacuum, devoid of the critical jabs and humor that once defined it.

Gaza BREAKING: Hamas Frees U.S.-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander After 19 Months In Captivity | WATCH

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. #EdanAlexander #HostageRelease #Hamas #USIsrael #BreakingNews #TrumpVisit #Gaza #MiddleEastCrisis #CeasefireTalks #EmotionalReunion #IsraelHostages #FreeEdan #HopeInGaza #FamilyReunion #USPolitics #TrumpInMiddleEast #HostageCrisis #BreakingUpdates #GazaHostage #PeaceEfforts ~HT.408~

‘Force Netanyahu to Seal a Deal, Bring Them All Home’ Hostage Families in Tel Aviv Plea to Trump

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. #Israel #Trump #HostageCrisis #GazaHostages #Netanyahu #EdanAlexander #HostagesSquare #FreeTheHostages #MiddleEast #Hamas #TelAvivProtest #NimrodCohen #YehudaCohen #BringThemHome #TrumpVisit #HostageDeal #PeaceTalks #USIsraelRelations #HamasHostages #GazaConflict Also Read Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump May Temporarily Use Qatar’s $400 Million 'Flying Palace' As Air Force One Amid Ethics Scrutiny :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-may-temporarily-use-qatar-s-400-million-flying-palace-as-air-force-one-amid-ethics-s-4151121.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Welcomes Trump's Offer To Mediate Kashmir Dispute, Says Islamabad Dedicated To 'Promote Peace' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-welcomes-trumps-offer-to-mediate-kashmir-dispute-says-islamabad-dedicated-to-promote-pea-4150395.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~
