According to the World Economic Forum, we're still 123 years away from full equality for women. So it's critical to remember the moments history was made.

Despite the ceasefire, it was another deadly weekend in the shattered enclave of Gaza. Meanwhile, the UN warns that the aid supplies getting into Gaza are still "way below what's needed."

In the same week President Donald Trump brings a ceasefire and plans for a permanent peace in the Middle East, could he also be preparing for war in his own backyard? He ended this week authorizing CIA action in Venezuela to target the drug trade and the flow of illegal migrants, as the U.S. continues to blow up boats off the coast there. And while Trump stopped short of saying the U.S. is pushing for regime change in Venezuela, Ma...

Israel is restricting aid in retaliation. Meanwhile, Israel returned 120 bodies of Palestinians held during the war, some of which show signs of abuse and beating. And with Hamas reasserting its authority in brutal fashion against ordinary Palestinians...
