The White House announced the launch of Phase Two of a U.S.-backed Gaza ceasefire plan, casting the move as the next step of a wider 20-Point Plan to end the Gaza conflict. Under the plan, a 15-member National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) will assume day-to-day governance of an enclave of more than 2 million people. The scheme envisages the full demilitarization of Gaza, the deployment of an International Stabilisation Force to secure the territory and to train vetted Palestinian police units, and a multiyear reconstruction effort. The launch comes amid deep unresolved disputes that could scuttle the shift from ceasefire to demilitarization. Humanitarian briefings cited U.N. data showing fewer than 100 aid trucks are entering Gaza daily, a fraction of the roughly 600 per day agreed under the ceasefire.

Adult woolly rhinos would have been similar in size to the largest living rhinoceros species. With its long hair, the woolly rhino adapted to cold conditions and lived across northern Eurasia during the last ice age.
Kathleen Kennedy will continue as producer of Lucasfilm’s next two theatrical films — May’s “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” and “Star Wars: Starfighter,” set for 2027. After nearly 14 years at the helm, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy will step down this week, marking a major — though expected — changing of the guard at the Walt Disney Co.-owned “Star Wars” studio. In her place, current Lucasfilm Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni has been named president and will retain his creative title and Lucasfilm Business President and General Manager Lynwen Brennan has been named co-president, Disney said Thursday. “When George Lucas asked me to take over Lucasfilm upon his retirement, I couldn’t have imagined what lay ahead,” said Kennedy, 72, in a statement Thursday. Kennedy told The Times in 2019 that perceptions of director churn at Lucasfilm were overblown.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said Thursday that she “presented” her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Trump during a private meeting at the White House, but he has not changed his view that she does not have the support to lead her country. The gesture was made on the day the two leaders met for the first time at the White House. As Machado left the White House, the scope of the discussions between her and the president remained unclear. She told them: “Know that we can count on President Trump for Venezuela’s freedom.”She then left to meet with a bipartisan group of U.S. senators on Capitol Hill. Asked if the president was committed to holding elections in Venezuela, Leavitt said Trump hopes to see “elections in Venezuela one day” but did not have a timeline for them yet.
