The former hostage's comments came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this month that defeating Israel's enemies is the 'supreme objective' and more important than securing the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza.

This stunning Spelling Bee winner photo sums it all up

The 100th Scripps National Spelling Bee is over, and we have a winner who overcame a rough late-bee error to win it all. Faizan Zaki, a 13-year-old from Allen, Texas, finished as a runner-up last year and was one of the three spellers left on Thursday when he was given "commelina." He immediately started spelling it wrong and told head judge Mary Brooks to ring the bell for an incorrect answer. You can see that moment below, but he got through to spell the final word correct: éclaircissement, which he nailed right away without asking for language origin or to be used in a sentence. BEST SPELLING BEE MOMENTS OF ALL TIME: The result? A win and his reaction was simply the best: No, it wasn't kamaaina, but a Mogollon (Shourav Dasari reference in 2015) attempt gone wrong for Faizan Zaki when he tried to spell "commelina" because he said "kam-" but then he realized he couldn't edit his answer 🙃 #spellingbee (R18)Mogolloned Cupar a round after 🫠 — ruletheword335 // TS 🐝 (@ruletheword335) May 30, 2025 You have to love it. He fell right to the ground in pure elation. And why did he spell words quickly? Per the Associated Press: Faizan had a more nuanced explanation: After not preparing for the spell-off last year, he overcorrected, emphasizing speed during his study sessions. Congrats to Faizan, who needed four tries to get the victory. Here he is talking about his preparation, in which he talked to CNN about how he focused on the vocabulary and the spell-off at the end: One of this year's Spelling Bee favorites, Faizan Zaki, showing off his fashion knowledge on @CNN. 🐝 — Kenneth Cole (@kennethcole) May 29, 2025 What a win! And we'll leave it off with the photo of Zaki collapsed on stage, which sums it all up: Awesome.

Harvard's Commencement Showcased a United University

A year can make a transformational difference in the life of an institution. That's what has happened at Harvard, where students and faculty gave President Alan Garber a standing ovation at commencement Thursday — just a year after protests disrupted graduation ceremonies when hundreds of students walked out. A year ago, student speakers denounced the university's administration and its trustees, who were sitting behind them. On Thursday, the speakers expressed pride in that same leadership for sticking to the university's principles and standing up for free inquiry and free expression. What happened in between? The answer is, at least partly, that Donald Trump happened. In the 16 months following Hamas' attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, Harvard was embroiled in internal conflicts over Gaza, Israel, Palestine and the boundaries of campus free speech. Then on April 11, 2024, the Trump administration sent the school a list of outrageous demands, threatening to end billions in federal research funding if it failed to comply. In response, the university made the only decision possible to protect its academic freedom and integrity: It sued and became the de facto leading institution in resisting executive overreach.
