German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is visiting Israel for the first time since taking office in May.
His visit comes just days after Germany decided to lift a three-month suspension on arms exports to Israel that it said could be used in the Gaza Strip.
Merz, who has said he does not consider Israel’s actions in Gaza to be genocide, is scheduled to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday.

Italy’s public broadcaster RAI announced on Saturday its support for Israel’s participation in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, set to take place in Vienna, and confirmed that Italy will also compete in the event, Anadolu reports.
The statement came after the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) General Assembly approved Israel’s entry for the 70th edition of the contest.
pixel posting about streamerbot reminded me of event grids and wondering if there's actually a good way to store those.
in the end they are basically just parse trees represented graphically. so i'm guessing the answer is to either flatten it and store it RDBMS (maybe with closure tables) or just save them as nested documents.
flattening sucks but it does make querying fast, if that's something you want in the IDE.
Somali Americans responded to Trump’s latest attack with a wave of sharp satire that spread quickly across social media. Their posts mocked the former president’s comments after he called Somali immigrants “garbage” and demanded that they “go back” during a cabinet meeting.
Instead of retreating, Somali creators launched a satirical trend that used the same logic and language commonly found in Zionist narratives about Palestine.

Israeli forces and illegal settlers committed 57 violations and assaults against journalists in the occupied West Bank and Gaza in November, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) said on Saturday.
The syndicate said the violations reflect "continued systematic escalation aimed at preventing media crews from carrying out their professional duties."

![The image is a black and white photograph featuring two men standing in front of what appears to be the entrance of an establishment. The man on the left, wearing glasses, has his hands tucked into his pockets and sports a suit with a patterned tie; he's smiling broadly at the camera. Beside him stands another individual dressed in a light-colored jacket over a white shirt, also sporting a wide smile as they gaze directly ahead.
Behind them is an entrance marked by wooden beams overhead adorned with what seems to be fabric or paper decorations hanging on both sides. Flanking this central scene are potted plants and decorative elements that add character to the setting. The overall ambience suggests a casual yet festive occasion, possibly related to local customs or celebrations in Osaka.
