Global Scandals: Abuse Charges, Gaza Deaths, and Political Fallout

International News Roundup: Gaza Conflict, UK Political Fallout, and Italian Custody Battle

GAZA STRIP – At least 24 people were killed in Gaza on Wednesday following Israeli strikes across the territory, according to health officials. The strikes occurred amidst accusations from both Israel and Hamas of violating a ceasefire. Euronews reported that Israel claimed to have killed three militant leaders and others who posed a threat to its forces, stating that some strikes were in response to a Hamas attack that seriously wounded one of its soldiers. The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry reported 21 deaths, including civilians.

LONDON – UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer issued an apology Thursday to victims of Jeffrey Epstein for appointing Peter Mandelson as Britain's ambassador to Washington. This decision came under intense scrutiny after newly released documents revealed further details of Mandelson's ties to Epstein, suggesting a closer relationship than previously disclosed. "I am sorry for having believed Mandelson's lies and appointed him," Starmer stated in a speech, according to Euronews. Starmer said Mandelson had "portrayed Epstein as someone he barely knew."

ROME – A controversy erupted in Rome over a church fresco where the restored face of an angel bore a resemblance to Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni. Euronews reported that the face has since been erased and replaced with a rough patch of paint after church authorities reportedly asked restorer Bruno Valentinet to cover it up. The incident sparked significant attention in local media.

In a separate matter in Italy, health experts have recommended the return of three children to their Anglo-Australian parents in rural Italy, following a dispute with social services. Euronews reported that psychiatrists from the Lanciano-Vasto-Chieti Local Health Authority issued a report stating that restoring stable family ties for the children is essential. The case has attracted international attention.

BRISBANE, Australia – In Australia, a 27-year-old man has been charged with child abuse-related offenses after an investigation uncovered more than 23,000 videos and images linked to 459 victims, some as young as seven. Sky News reported that Queensland Police allege the man used multiple online profiles to target victims on social media and gaming platforms between 2018 and February 2025. The man, who has not been named, was initially arrested in February 2025 and now faces 596 offences. Detectives allege he actively targeted children, most aged between seven and 15, in Australia and overseas.
