A Squalid Building, a Tip to the Feds, and Then ‘Straight-Up Chaos’  The New York Times

Israel has launched air strikes in southern Gaza, accusing Hamas of attacks in a "bold violation of the ceasefire".
A military official said Hamas had carried out "multiple attacks against Israeli forces beyond the yellow line" – which they say is the area Israeli troops have withdrawn to in accordance with phase one of the US-brokered deal.
Hamas said it was committed to the ceasefire and accused Israel of breaking it several times.
The deal – part President Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza war – came into force on 10 October. The first phase of the agreement currently under way has seen the release of all living hostages as well as the return to Israel of 12 out of 28 of those deceased.
For its part, Israel has freed 250 Palestinian prisoners in its jails and 1,718 detainees from Gaza, as well as returning 15 bodies of Palestinians in return for every Israeli hostage's remains.
The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the 7 October 2023 attack, in which Hamas-led gunmen killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel and took 251 others hostage.
At least 68,000 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures are seen by the UN as reliable.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has not issued a statement on the recent flare-up, but an official said Hamas's attacks included "an RPG [rocket-propelled grenade] shot at a military force, and a sniper fire against a military force".
"Both of the incidents happened in an Israeli controlled area, east to the yellow line," said the official, without giving exact locations.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) still occupy and control just over 50% of the Gaza Strip, having withdrawn to the agreed yellow line.
Hamas, which has ruled the territory for 18 years, is facing a challenge from armed groups, such as Abu Shabab's Popular Forces, gangs which it says are being armed and supported by Israel.
It has recalled about 7,000 members of its security forces to reassert control in Gaza, according to local sources.
Under the Trump 20-point ceasefire, Hamas is supposed to relinquish its weapons so that it no longer poses a threat to Israel.
Hamas has accused Israel of funding and arming rival gangs that it says have looted aid trucks. It says Israel is deliberately empowering criminal gangs so as to challenge Hamas's authority and foment chaos.
Without the presence of a robust international force in Gaza there is a real risk of further internecine fighting between Palestinian factions.
The attacks in Rafah came hours after the US said it had "credible reports" that Hamas was planning an "imminent" attack on civilians in Gaza, which, it said, would be a "direct and grave" violation of the ceasefire agreement.
A planned attack against Palestinians would "undermine the significant progress achieved through mediation efforts", the state department said.
The statement did not not provide further details.
Hamas has strongly denied any planned imminent attack.
The state department said it had already informed other guarantors of the Gaza peace agreement – which include Egypt, Qatar and Turkey – and demanded Hamas uphold its end of the ceasefire terms.
"Should Hamas proceed with this attack, measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire," the US statement said.
The ceasefire agreement also states that regional partners will ensure that "Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbours or its people".
Therefore, any instances or evidence of armed action by either Hamas or other factions in Gaza would be considered a violation of the ceasefire.
President Donald Trump has previously warned Hamas against the killing of civilians.
"If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them," Trump said in a post on Truth Social earlier this week.
He later clarified that he would not be sending US troops into Gaza.
Last week, BBC Verify authenticated graphic videos that showed a public execution carried out by Hamas gunmen in Gaza.
Fierce clashes erupted a week ago – involving Hamas security forces and armed members of the Dughmush family in Gaza City.
Twenty-seven people were killed in what was one of the most violent internal confrontations since the end of major Israeli operations in the enclave.

President Gustavo Pedro says the vessel, which Donald Trump believes was carrying drugs, had its distress signal on when it was struck in September.
The demonstrations against the US president – which Republicans had called "hate-America rallies" – were boisterous but peaceful.
"His talent was effortless, his presence unforgettable, his heart enormous," the band wrote.
Questions around the up-and-coming TikTok star's connection to a teenage girl's death have eclipsed his career's rise.
Protesters took to the streets of American cities to demonstrate against President Trump's policies.

July 7, 2025 Rhoda Gistlover Daily Travel and Scholarships Tips 0
In a major step toward labor market transformation, Saudi Arabia has unveiled a new skill-based classification framework for expatriate work permits. This initiative aligns with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Program, both aimed at modernizing the economy and optimizing the workforce.
As reported by TravelBiz, the new system changes how foreign workers are evaluated, employed, and managed in Saudi Arabia. The core objective is to enhance the alignment between workers’ skills and their job roles, thereby increasing overall productivity and supporting sustainable economic growth.
The phased rollout began on June 18, 2025, targeting existing expatriate workers. By July 6, the policy was fully enforced for all current foreign workers in the country. For new international recruits, the system will come into effect starting August 3.
Under this updated structure, expatriates are grouped into three main categories: high-skill, skilled, and basic. Classification is based on a combination of qualifications and the relevance of those qualifications to their job roles. This tiered system is designed to ensure better job placement and more efficient utilization of talent within the Kingdom.
Each individual will be assessed according to five key factors:
These criteria will be reviewed during both initial applications and the renewal of work permits, ensuring continuous compliance with the classification system.
This policy shift is part of Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to diversify its economy beyond oil, attract high-caliber global talent, and make the labor market more efficient. By implementing a structured classification model, the government aims to eliminate the mismatch between qualifications and job responsibilities.
Broader Implications for Employers and Workers
Beyond regulatory updates, this reform significantly alters how companies engage with expatriate professionals. Employers must now tailor their hiring strategies, job descriptions, and compensation packages to reflect the new classification standards.
For foreign workers, the system introduces stricter scrutiny of educational and professional credentials. Expatriates are encouraged to review and validate their qualifications and experience to ensure compliance with the new criteria.
Ultimately, the initiative seeks to create a more dynamic and capable workforce that supports Saudi Arabia’s long-term economic ambitions and development goals.

XRP's price has barely changed in the last 24 hours, down 0.32% to $2.34. In the last seven days, XRP remains down 2.11%.
XRP fell for four straight days in the week just concluded, reaching a low of $2.18 on Oct. 17 before recovering. The recovery reached a high of $2.39 on Saturday, but bulls could make any significant move.
Amid XRP's boring price action, Max Avery, in a recent tweet, stated that XRP's price stability is not a bug, adding that XRP is not designed to pump on retail speculation, being built to slot into existing financial rails without breaking them.
XRP moves money across borders faster and cheaper than almost anything else out there, and the XRP Ledger has tons of institutional features baked-in to allow for massive enterprise-grade implementations. That's why financial institutions will actually use it instead of just…
Avery pointed out a historical tendency for XRP, which it exhibited in 2017: XRP hit an all-time high after a significant crash in 2017. "People forget that XRP hit an all-time high right after one of its nastiest crashes in 2017," He wrote.
Long term matters
Avery noted that XRP gets pulled into the gravity of traditional finance because banks and payment providers need stability to actually adopt it.
"If you're holding XRP expecting it to move like a memecoin, you're going to hate the experience. But if you're betting on the financial infrastructure of tomorrow, the boring price action starts making more sense," Avery stated.
According to him, the long-term horizon might matter especially when it comes to real assets, with patience paying off in a big way in the long run.
Avery highlighted that the current XRP price action might not be surprising as XRP has "this pattern of bleeding out during speculation frenzies and then catching up hard when nobody's watching."
If market recovers in the short term, XRP's next resistance levels lie at the daily MA 200 and 50 at $2.58 and $2.82, respectively. On the other hand, if the current market weakness continues, XRP eyes support at $2.18 and then $2.

An official with the Israel Defense Forces says it has carried out air strikes on Rafah after an attack by Hamas on its troops in Gaza
The official has called the incident a "bold violation of the ceasefire"
In response, Hamas says it is committed to the ceasefire and alleges that Israel "continues to breach the agreement"
The deal struck earlier this month required the IDF to withdraw from parts of Gaza, but allows the Israeli army to remain in certain areas, including Rafah
The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the 7 October 2023 attack, in which Hamas-led gunmen killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel and took 251 others hostage
At least 68,000 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas-run health ministry

The latest Israeli air strikes in Rafah come five days after world leaders signed the US-brokered ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel.
During the first phase of the ceasefire, all living hostages have been released as well as 12 out of 28 of those deceased.
Israel's military confirmed on Saturday that the remains of Ronen Engel, a 54-year-old photographer, and 30-year-old Thai farm worker Sonthaya Akrasri were handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza. They were the 11th and 12th of 28 dead hostages to be returned under the deal.
Hamas has blamed Israel for making the returns difficult, as air strikes on Gaza have reduced many buildings to rubble, and Israel does not allow heavy machinery and diggers into the territory.
Also as part of the agreement, Israel freed 250 Palestinian prisoners in its jails and 1,718 detainees from Gaza.
The bodies of 15 Palestinians were handed over by Israel via the Red Cross to officials in Gaza on Saturday, the Hamas-run health ministry said, bringing the total number of bodies it has received to 135.

Phase one of the Trump-brokered ceasefire is not yet complete but already there have been armed clashes inside the Gaza Strip.
An Israeli military official confirmed that air strikes have been carried out on Hamas fighters following what the official said were rocket-propelled grenade attacks and sniper fire by Hamas inside the area controlled by Israel.
Under the terms of the ceasefire deal, Hamas is obliged to hand over its weapons and relinquish power. It has yet to do so.
Hamas has accused Israel of funding and arming rival gangs that it says have looted aid trucks. It says Israel is deliberately empowering criminal gangs so as to challenge Hamas’s authority and foment chaos.
Without the presence of a robust international force in Gaza, there is now a real risk of further internecine fighting between Palestinian factions.
A proposed International Stabilisation Force has yet to be formed, let alone deployed.
President Donald Trump's plan to end the two-year-old Gaza war came into force on 10 October, and phase one resulted in the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners and detainees.
Another important part of the plan was for Israeli troops to withdraw to a line that left it in control of about 53% of the Strip.
According to a map distributed by the White House it is meant to be the first of three stages of Israeli withdrawal.
The IDF would also hold on to about a third of the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, a road created by Israel in early 2024 and used to separate the north and south of the territory to control population movement.
In addition to the ceasefire, hundreds of lorries carrying humanitarian aid also started entering Gaza, where a famine was confirmed by UN-backed experts in August.

Israeli warplanes carried out several air strikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah after Hamas gunmen clashed with a militia reportedly supported by Israel, residents and witnesses tell the BBC.
Residents living south of the European Hospital, the closest spot to the incident, say the strikes were accompanied by artillery shelling, with explosions shaking parts of Rafah.
There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The targeted area remains under Israeli military control. A local source familiar with the incident tells the BBC that Hamas fighters attacked a group affiliated with Yasser Abu Shabab in south-eastern Rafah, an area controlled by Israeli forces.
The militants reportedly came under surprise tank fire, leading to a short exchange of gunfire before Israeli warplanes bombed the site.
Mahmoud Basal, spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Defence, tells the BBC: “We have no clear information about what is happening in Rafah. We received several calls from residents about Israeli airstrikes and shelling, but none of our rescue teams can reach the area because Israeli troops are deployed there.”
In a statement, Hamas official Izzat al-Rishq says the group “remains committed to the ceasefire agreement”, accusing Israel of “violating the deal and fabricating pretexts to justify its crimes".
He adds that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s attempts to evade his obligations “come under pressure from his extremist coalition, in a bid to escape accountability before mediators and guarantors".

A military spokesman says Hamas carried out "multiple attacks against Israeli forces beyond the yellow line" – which they say is the area Israeli troops have withdrawn to in accordance with phase one of the US-brokered deal.
