Global Turmoil: Key Developments across Nations

A summary of pivotal global events includes Israel returning bodies of deceased Palestinians, tensions in Gaza with the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, US Supreme Court ruling on Trump's case, Bangladesh PM fleeing during unrest, Kamala Harris narrowing VP picks, frustrations with Netanyahu over Gaza, Tunisian candidates jailed, US personnel attacked in Iraq, UK riots response, and Venezuela's crackdown on opposition leaders.

In a series of significant global updates, Israel has returned over 80 Palestinian bodies while maintaining military pressure. This comes amidst Israeli airstrikes that have killed at least 18 more individuals, according to Palestine's Ministry of Health. The return of bodies has created uncertainty regarding whether they were exhumed from cemeteries or are detainees who were tortured.

Further escalating tensions, the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was described by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as a deliberate move to prolong the Gaza conflict. Abbas's remarks, shared with Russia's RIA news agency, emphasized that the killing complicates negotiations for resolving the crisis.

Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court has rejected Missouri's attempt to halt Donald Trump's sentencing over hush money payments. The decision aligns with broader legal challenges Trump faces as he seeks reelection. Furthermore, Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has fled amidst deadly protests, while Kamala Harris narrows her vice-presidential choices.
