Huckabee hits back at Western countries that ‘side’ with terror group Hamas
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee lashed out at almost 30 Western countries who on Monday called for Israel to end the war in Gaza, saying in a post on X that «when Hamas thinks you do good work, you are doing evil.»
«How embarrassing for a nation to side w/ a terror group like Hamas & blame a nation whose civilians were massacred for fighting to get hostages released,» wrote Huckabee after Hamas – whose Oct. 7, 2023, mass terror attack on Israel sparked the ongoing war in Gaza – said it welcomed «the contents of the joint statement issued by the United Kingdom Government along with 25 other countries, calling for an immediate end to the war on the Gaza Strip.»
The U.S. and EU-designated terror group also reiterated its claims that Israel was carrying out a «policy of starvation» on the coastal enclave amid unverified reports that people have died due to hunger-related reasons. Fox News Digital has not been able to independently verify such reports.

«The statement’s condemnation of the killing of over 800 Palestinian civilians at the gates of U.S.-Israeli-controlled aid checkpoints underscores the brutality of this mechanism,» Hamas wrote following a statement issued by the U.K. Foreign Office and U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy.
«The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths,» read Lammy’s statement, which was also signed by the foreign ministers of 28 countries.
«If Hamas embraces you – you are in the wrong place,» Israel’s Foreign Minister Gidon Saar responded on X. «Hamas’s praise for the statement by the group of countries is the best proof of the mistake they made – part of them out of good intentions and part of them out of an obsession against Israel.»

Since launching a new model for food aid distribution in the war-torn strip in early May, Israel and the U.S. have come under fire from the international community over near-daily reports of people dying while attempting to receive aid or not receiving any aid at all.
Israel has refuted claims that there is hunger in Gaza or that it is using starvation as a tactic of the now 22-month-old war. Rather, officials have said they are working to prevent Hamas from stealing aid being distributed by veteran, mostly U.N.-run, humanitarian agencies and sold for exorbitant prices in a bid to continue funding terror operations.

Israel, which is tasked with securing routes to four aid centers run by the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund, has also denied that its soldiers intentionally kill Palestinian civilians but is rather issuing warning shots as a measure of crowd control. The GHF has so far delivered some 85 million meals since it started its aid operation in May.
U.N. spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said on Monday that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres «deplored the growing reports of both children and adults suffering from malnutrition and strongly condemned the ongoing violence, including the shooting, killing and injuring of people attempting to get food.»
«As someone who has spent over 40 years in Israel’s Security Establishment – both as IDF Chief of Staff & Minister of Defense, I can say this unequivocally: Not only has Israel never starved or targeted civilians, but it goes above and beyond to protect civilians in the most complex of war zones like Gaza,» Israeli opposition leader Benny Gantz wrote on X.
«We must be clear – culpability for harm inflicted to civilians rests on terrorist Hamas and Hamas only,» he added.

On Tuesday, Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza, said in a statement that «twenty-one children have died due to malnutrition and starvation in various areas across the Gaza Strip.»
«Every moment, new cases of malnutrition and starvation are arriving at Gaza’s hospitals,» he said.
Kobi Michael, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv who has been monitoring the situation in Gaza closely, told Fox News Digital that he was «not aware of a single official report that people died because of starvation or hunger.»
«I’m not familiar with any such report, but I am familiar with many warnings that were published by international organizations about the catastrophe that exists in Gaza and how in two months or so, 40 or 50,000 people will die because of hunger, but nobody has died because of hunger, because there is no hunger,» he said, adding, «if there are some local problems of supply, it is because of Hamas – not because of the IDF.»
Michael, who is also a fellow at the Misgav Institute in Jerusalem, pointed out that Hamas «loots, robs and steals the humanitarian aid, partially for themselves, to feed themselves and the rest is sold in very high prices to the local population in order to make money.»

Israel’s goal of weakening Hamas’s grip on the Strip – and on aid agencies – appeared to be working on Monday, with The Washington Post reporting that the terror group «is facing its worst financial and administrative crisis in its four-decade history» and is struggling to find the resource it needs to continue fighting Israel or rule Gaza.
Quoting a former high-level Israeli intelligence officer, and current Israel Defense Forces officers, the report said that Hamas could no longer pay its fighters or rebuild its underground terror tunnels, where it is believed to be holding some 50 hostages, both alive and dead, who kidnapped during its Oct. 7 attack.

Congressman whose DC apartment complex was robbed blasts Democrats for criticizing Trump crime crackdown
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Congressman Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, blasted Democrats and the members of the media who have been critical of President Donald Trump sending the National Guard to the streets of Washington, D.C., in an effort to curb the rampant crime plaguing the city.
Hunt also revealed that his own DC apartment complex in the Navy Yard area was broken into last year, leaving a front desk attendant robbed of her belongings just several floors away from the congressman’s own unit.
«Downstairs in my apartment complex, there was a woman who was robbed,» Hunt told Fox News Digital. «She had her computer stolen, her phone stolen, and her iPad stolen right behind the desk, and we were all blocks away from the Capitol.»
«I was a three-minute drive away from the Capitol when this happened,» Hunt added. «Across the street from our complex was where Henry Cuellar was robbed at gunpoint. I don’t understand what these [critics] are talking about. It’s not safe.»

MS-13 GANG MEMBER ARRESTED IN DC AS BONDI TOUTS ADMIN’S ‘EXTRAORDINARY’ CRIME CRACKDOWN
Trump’s military intervention to combat crime in D.C. has been widely criticized by Democrats, with House Judiciary Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., introducing a resolution last week to prevent the president from keeping servicemembers in the district.
Because Washington, D.C., is not a state, Trump was able to invoke Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, allowing him to declare a public emergency and deploy federal resources into the area.
«Just like I took care of the Border, where you had ZERO Illegals coming across last month, from millions the year before, I will take care of our cherished Capital, and we will make it, truly, GREAT AGAIN,» Trump stated in an August 11 White House fact sheet on the emergency declaration. «Before the tents, squalor, filth, and Crime, it was the most beautiful Capital in the World. It will soon be that again.»

DC POLICE ACCUSED OF CHANGING CRIME STATS JUST WEEKS BEFORE TRUMP FEDERALIZED CITY
Hunt also noted the actions of several Democrat governors who used their respective state’s National Guard to combat various issues.
«Tim Walz used the National Guard to implement COVID restrictions on people, not to take care of the murder capital of the United States,» Hunt told Fox. «Gavin Newsom is willing to clean up downtown LA in California for the President of China to come visit, but you won’t clean it up just for everyday citizens when all this crime is happening?»
The White House has also touted the success of the military presence in the nation’s capital, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt telling reporters during a Tuesday press briefing that 465 arrests have been made since the start of the operation, including an MS13 gang member illegally in the US with convictions for drug possession and driving while intoxicated (DWI).

«Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and the outstanding work of both federal and local law enforcement, dangerous gang members like the one picked up last night will not be allowed on the streets of our nation’s capital,» Leavitt told the press.
As for the residents of DC, James Laverty, a staffer on Capitol Hill, told Fox News that the military presence has made a «noticeable difference» in the nation’s capital.

«In certain areas, like Navy Yard and U Street, it feels much safer than it did just a week ago,» Laverty told Fox. «This past weekend, there was a noticeable difference in the vibe late at night, and I think it goes without saying that the impact of the National Guard on the streets is the clear reason for the newly found safe sentiment in DC.»

El boom global de las carreras STEM: adolescentes eligen ciencia y tecnología para construir su futuro
Laboratorios repletos de proyectos, aulas interactivas plagadas de dispositivos y conversaciones familiares donde se habla de inteligencia artificial o energías renovables: el fenómeno es mundial. Cada vez más adolescentes de diferentes regiones están apostando por las carreras STEM (ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas) y la tendencia muestra una fuerza inédita que trasciende fronteras culturales y económicas. Hoy, hablar el lenguaje de los algoritmos, la robótica y el análisis de datos ya no es una curiosidad, sino una necesidad para quienes imaginan su futuro en el mundo contemporáneo.
Según un análisis de The Conversation, el auge de las carreras STEM es evidente en varios países y responde a factores tanto económicos como sociales. En Reino Unido, el interés por estas materias alcanzó un récord histórico en 2025: matemáticas, química y biología se consolidaron como las opciones más populares entre los estudiantes de nivel secundario. Este crecimiento no se limita a Europa. En Estados Unidos, las universidades registran un flujo sostenido y creciente de estudiantes en ingeniería, ciencias aplicadas e informática.
La decisión de orientar la formación hacia carreras STEM tiene un sustento práctico indiscutible. The Conversation y The Guardian revelan que los egresados de áreas científicas y tecnológicas acceden a mayores beneficios económicos y mejores tasas de empleabilidad que quienes optan por otras disciplinas. Los sectores más dinámicos del mercado, desde inteligencia artificial y análisis de datos hasta energías renovables, ciberseguridad y desarrollo de aplicaciones, exigen competencias avanzadas en matemáticas, tecnología y ciencias.
La amplitud de salidas profesionales multiplica las oportunidades para los adolescentes: las ciencias abarcan desde la astronomía y la biología marina hasta la informática, la ingeniería ambiental o la medicina. En este escenario, las posibilidades para quienes eligen STEM se expanden a medida que surgen nuevas necesidades económicas y sociales vinculadas a la digitalización, la sustentabilidad y la innovación.
El boom de las carreras científicas y tecnológicas no solo responde a variables económicas. La cultura digital convirtió a las STEM en una parte ineludible de la vida cotidiana y de la creatividad. Artistas, arquitectos, fotógrafos, músicos o chefs incorporan tecnología, conceptos de física o biología y análisis de datos en procesos creativos y prácticos. Aplicaciones móviles para la salud, sistemas de navegación GPS o la automatización en tareas domésticas son apenas una muestra de cómo el conocimiento científico y tecnológico se ha vuelto indispensable más allá del ámbito académico.
Esta familiaridad con la tecnología y los conceptos matemáticos no solo prepara para empleos calificados, sino que también otorga herramientas esenciales para la toma de decisiones y la adaptación al entorno digital y globalizado que define la vida de las nuevas generaciones.
El auge de las STEM tiene raíces profundas en las transformaciones culturales, sociales y educativas internacionales. La preocupación por la crisis ambiental conduce a cientos de miles de adolescentes a interesarse por la ingeniería ambiental, la biotecnología o las ciencias naturales. De manera simultánea, la omnipresencia de empresas tecnológicas y plataformas digitales refuerza la percepción de que las competencias informáticas son tan necesarias como las habilidades tradicionales en cualquier profesión.
Medios de comunicación y productos culturales cumplen su rol: Blue Planet, presentado por Sir David Attenborough, movilizó el interés global por la biodiversidad marina y la contaminación por plásticos, mientras documentales sobre inteligencia artificial o salud digital disparan el entusiasmo por las disciplinas científicas dentro y fuera de las aulas.
La percepción de que la ciencia y la tecnología constituyen herramientas versátiles, útiles y adaptables se afianza en todos los continentes. Elegir una carrera STEM ya no es solo una estrategia individual para mejorar la empleabilidad: es, para muchos jóvenes, una manera de conectar con los desafíos globales y contribuir activamente al bienestar colectivo.
Desde aprender a programar hasta investigar soluciones para el cambio climático o desarrollar inteligencia artificial ética, las ciencias y la tecnología dejan de ser opciones de nicho para consolidarse como el nuevo lenguaje común de la juventud mundial.
Hoy, los adolescentes que apuestan por STEM no solo buscan transformarse a sí mismos, sino también transformar el mundo que heredan y en el que desean dejar huella.
