Egypt says it will join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at ICJ
Egypt says it will formally join the case filed by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which accuses Israel of violating its obligations under the Genocide Convention in its war on the Gaza Strip. South Africa brought its case against Israel in January, accusing the country of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Egypt will join Turkey and Colombia in formally requesting to join the case against Israel. It will likely take years before the court will rule on the merits of the genocide case. It has called South Africa’s genocide case baseless and accused Pretoria of acting as “the legal arm of Hamas”.

SKOPJE, North Macedonia (AP) — Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova was sworn as the first female president of North Macedonia on Sunday and immediately reignited a diplomatic spat with neighboring Greece.

A few hours later, von der Leyen posted her congratulations to the new president: “Congratulations, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, on becoming the first female President of North Macedonia. The decades-old dispute was resolved in 2018, when both sides signed an agreement and the constitutional name “North Macedonia” was adopted. Greece then lifted its objection to North Macedonia joining NATO and applying for EU membership.

Will Devontez Walker be Lamar Jackson's No. 1 deep threat?
Walker soon broke down in tears while talking to DeCosta and continued crying as he spoke with Ravens coach John Harbaugh. Walker, the 19th wide receiver taken in this year's draft, has the potential to be Jackson's No. North Carolina coach Mack Brown blasted the decision, telling the NCAA "shame on you." [I'd] probably be [undrafted] or coming back [to North Carolina]; I didn't really know at that point, but that was pretty much my mindset. "It's no bad blood between me and the NCAA," Walker said after being the 113th player taken in this year's draft.
