Global Flash: Gaza Reels, Senate Deals, Amnesty Granted

International Tensions Rise as US Immigration Policies Spark Protests, Gaza Sees Deadly Strikes, and Venezuela Considers Amnesty

International events unfolded on Saturday, January 31, 2026, with escalating tensions surrounding US immigration policies, deadly Israeli strikes in Gaza, and a proposed amnesty for political prisoners in Venezuela.

In the United States, a judge declined to halt the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minnesota, despite mass protests over deadly shootings by federal agents, according to Al Jazeera. US District Judge Kate Menendez denied a preliminary injunction sought in a lawsuit filed by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and the mayors of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The protests were part of a nationwide strike against Trump's immigration policies, as reported by Euronews.

Meanwhile, the US Senate passed a Trump-backed government funding deal on Friday, Euronews reported. The bill, which passed 71-29, will now head to the House. It funds most of the government through the end of September but provides only a temporary extension for Homeland Security funding. This could lead to a partial government shutdown over the weekend until the House votes on the bill on Monday.

In Gaza, Israeli strikes killed at least 30 Palestinians, hospital officials said, marking one of the deadliest days since a ceasefire was agreed in October, according to Sky News. The casualties included two women and six children from two different families, officials at Gaza hospitals reported. Shifa Hospital said a strike in Gaza City killed a mother, three children, and another individual.

In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro's government is considering a full amnesty for political prisoners detained since 1999, Euronews reported. Delcy Rodríguez proposed the amnesty law, which would exclude cases of murder, drug trafficking, and human rights violations. Rodríguez instructed the Judicial Revolution Commission to prepare the legal text for a vote in the National Assembly. Families of political prisoners are reportedly waiting cautiously for further developments.
