Israel’s Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously struck down a government policy that barred the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) from visiting Palestinian detainees held in Israeli prisons and detention centers. The couSources said the ban violated Israeli and international law and ordered the government to repeal it and allow ICRC access. The restriction had been imposed after the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023.
The ruling followed a petition filed in February 2024 by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) along with other rights groups. The couSources said the government had not provided a legal basis for cancelling the visits.
The ICRC welcomed the decision and said it was ready to resume visits. It said access to detainees and the ability to meet them privately are obligations under international law, and it is continuing discussions with Israeli authorities to restart its work in detention facilities.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday establishing a voluntary framework for the federal government to review advanced artificial intelligence models before their public release.
The policy asks technology companies to share new models with government officials for vetting up to 30 days prior to launch. The administration indicates the order is designed to mitigate cybersecurity and national security threats posed by high-capability AI.
This initiative represents a significant pivot from the president's earlier deregulatory stance, suggesting a more interventionist approach to emerging technologies that could impact state safety. Under the framework, the government will assess potential vulnerabilities and ensure that foundational models do not compromise
American infrastructure. While the program is currently voluntary, it sets a clear expectation for cooperation between Silicon Valley and the federal government.
The executive order marks a hardening of the US position on AI governance as the global race for technological supremacy accelerates. It reflects a growing consensus in Washington that the risks associated with frontier AI require federal oversight long before products reach the commercial market.

Tens of thousands of university students and citizens rallied in Belgrade, Serbia, on May 23, 2026, to protest the government and demand early parliamentary elections. The demonstrations, which originated from anti-corruption calls following the November 2024 Novi Sad rail station disaster that killed 16 people, have expanded into a broader movement against President Aleksandar Vucic's administration.
The protests gained momentum after the resignation of then-Prime Minister Milos Vucevic due to public pressure for a transparent investigation into the rail disaster. President Vucic has indicated that elections could occur between September and November 2026. Protesters, many carrying banners with the slogan “Students win,” converged on Slavija Square, a site of previous anti-government demonstrations.
Sporadic clashes erupted near the presidency building, with police deploying teargas and stun grenades against demonstrators who set fire to bins. The state railway company canceled all trains to and from Belgrade on the day of the protest, an action perceived as an attempt to limit participation.
International bodies, including the Council of Europe, have expressed concerns regarding Serbia's handling of the protests and its democratic trajectory, which could impact its European Union accession process and potential funding.
