Israel moves to guard Palestinian prisoners with Nile crocodiles

Israel's Environment Minister reclassified Nile crocodiles as a specially managed wild animal, enabling a proposal to build a detention facility for Palestinians encircled by crocodiles. The decree drew opposition from the Environment Ministry's legal adviser, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, and environmental groups who said it lacks a legal basis and risks animal welfare and public safety, though security minister Itamar Ben Gvir praised the plan as a deterrent.

Venezuela's acting president rejects US orders as Maduro-era tensions persist

Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro’s acting president, told oil workers in Puerto La Cruz that she has had enough of Washington’s orders as she works to unite a country divided by Maduro loyalists, opposition, and anti‑Maduro factions after the US captured Maduro. Washington has pressed Caracas on oil production and demanded severing ties with China, Iran, Russia and Cuba while prioritizing US oil interests; Rodríguez has sought to balance domestic loyalties with not provoking Washington, reiterating that the US does not govern Venezuela, amid oil’s central role in the economy and ongoing internal tensions.
