Macron to push for social media ban for under-15s after school stabbing
French President Emmanuel Macron said he would push for European Union regulation to ban social media for children under the age of 15 after a fatal stabbing at a school in eastern France, the latest such violent attack that left the country reeling. Macron said in an interview late on Tuesday that he hoped to see results within the next few months. "If that does not work, we will start to do it in France. We cannot wait," he told the France 2 public broadcaster, hours after a fatal stabbing at a middle school in Nogent, Haute-Marne. Writing on social media platform X after the interview, Macron said such regulation was backed by experts. "Platforms have the ability to verify age. Do it," he wrote. Reuters

Israel's opposition leaders said Wednesday they submitted a bill to dissolve parliament, which, if successful, could start paving the way to a snap election. Ultra-Orthodox parties that are propping up Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government are threatening to vote for the motion. "The opposition faction leaders have decided to bring the bill to dissolve the Knesset to a vote in the Knesset plenum today. The decision was made unanimously and is binding on all factions," the leaders said in a statement, adding that all their parties would freeze their ongoing legislation to focus on "the overthrow of the government."

Army returns to building in Hadath with bulldozer
by Naharnet Newsdesk 11 June 2025, 15:27 Army forces returned Wednesday with a bulldozer to a building they searched Tuesday at the request of the five-member committee supervising the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire. The building in the densely populated Sainte-Therese street in Hadath in Beirut's southern suburbs had been targeted by an Israeli strike during the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war. A Lebanese military official said Tuesday that the army was looking for weapons. On Friday, Israel warned that it would keep up its strikes on Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, after it struck four locations in Dahieh on the eve of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. The Lebanese army condemned the airstrikes, warning that such attacks are weakening the role of Lebanon's armed forces that might eventually suspend cooperation with the committee monitoring the truce that ended the Israel-Hezbollah war. It said it had tried to convince Israel not to carry out the strikes and to instead let Lebanese officials go in to search the area under the mechanism laid out in the ceasefire agreement, but that the Israeli army refused, so Lebanese soldiers moved away from the locations after they were sent.
