Boris Johnson gets a surprise peck from an ostrich in Texas
In the video, posted by his wife Carrie Johnson, an ostrich slowly walks toward a car before poking its head through the driver's seat window where Johnson is sitting with his son on his lap. Once in front of Johnson, the bird quickly pecks its beak toward his hand.

'Too funny not to share,' Carrie Johnson said in the caption on Instagram.
It is not clear which wildlife park they were visiting, but other posts on the same account show the family visiting Dinosaur Valley Park, about 80 miles (128 kilometers) southwest of Dallas.

Palestinian Tragedy Lies in Powerlessness, Says Noam Chomsky
American linguist and professor Noam Chomsky said that part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support. In a video that went viral on social media, Chomsky noted that Palestinians do not have wealth or power. So, they do not have rights. 'It is the way the world works, your rights correspond to your powers. Same inside the United States, if you are a poor black kid in Roxbury, you do not have the rights of a rich person.. same in the international arena,' he added. Moreover, he noted that Palestinians may get statements of support, but no body is going to do much for them, especially when the US threatens anyone who might try to do something. 'What is called the national interest turns out to be the interest of dominant domestic forces in US society,' he said. Therefore, the national interest means the interests of the very rich, major corporations, the ones who set government policy, according to Chomsky. 'That is the national interest and not the population. Population is basically irrelevant,' he added.

Prince Al-Faisal Rules Out Saudi-Israeli Normalization, Calls Netanyahu 'Genocidal Criminal'
Former head of Saudi intelligence, Prince Turki al-Faisal described Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as 'a criminal and deranged,' adding: 'How can anyone expect Saudi Arabia to normalize with a genocidal criminal or madman like Mr. Netanyahu?' — in reference to the fact that Saudi Arabia will not pursue normalization under the 'current situation' without respect for international law or the Arab Peace Initiative. In the interview conducted by anchor Christiane Amanpour, Turki Al-Faisal appeared clearly focused on the need to respect international legitimacy. He affirmed that the Arab Peace Initiative is based on United Nations resolutions, and that normalization cannot take place before these commitments are fulfilled. He also addressed what he described as 'the biblical grand picture of Israel,' saying that insistence on this geographic vision — from the Nile to the Euphrates — raises questions about the true intentions, whether they are for peace or for regional imperialism. He noted that Netanyahu 'may seek to occupy areas beyond Palestine, including Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Egypt.'

I gave all my effort to be a voice for my people from the heart of Gaza. If these words have reached you, know that Israel has killed me and silenced my voice. I urge you not to forget Gaza, and not to forget me in your sincere prayers. I entrust my family to you: my daughter Sham, my son Salah, my mother, and my wife, Umm Salah. Stand by them after I am gone… I pray to God to accept me as a martyr and make my blood a light on the path to freedom.'
