Olympics Dominate: U.S. Women Eye Gold, Moms Win Bobsled Medals

MELBOURNE, Australia - The Australian government announced Tuesday it would not repatriate 34 women and children with alleged ties to the Islamic State group from Syria, according to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The group of 11 families were scheduled to fly from Damascus to Australia.

Meanwhile, in Israel, the government decided Sunday to begin a contentious land regulation process in a large part of the occupied West Bank. This could potentially give Israel control over significant areas for future development, according to a government decision.

The decision regarding the repatriation of the Australian citizens was made public on Tuesday. The women and children had departed from Roj Camp in eastern Syria on Monday, February 16, 2026, according to The Associated Press.

In other news, the U.S. women's hockey team is advancing to the gold medal match after a dominant performance at the Olympics. Team USA defeated Sweden 5-0 in the semifinal match, according to NPR News.

Also at the Olympics, American athletes Elana Meyers Taylor, 41, and Kaillie Humphreys, 40, secured gold and bronze medals, respectively, in a bobsled competition on Monday night in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Meyers Taylor came from behind in the fourth and final heat, according to NPR News.
