Hamas announced its head of government was killed as Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza, killing 400 people and ending a two-month ceasefire. Israel vowed stronger military action after Hamas refused to release hostages. Strikes targeted multiple locations, with Gaza’s health ministry reporting many child casualties. Hamas claimed an Israeli hostage was among the dead. Hospitals, overwhelmed by casualties, saw bodies stacked in plastic sheets. Israeli PM Netanyahu ordered intensified operations, warning actions would extend beyond airstrikes. Military officials hinted at a potential ground assault. The fate of 59 remaining hostages in Gaza remains uncertain.

The Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelans and Salvadorans despite a U.S. judge’s order blocking the removals. Judge James Boasberg had halted deportations under Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, but flights were already en route to El Salvador and Honduras. Trump defended the move, calling the immigrants “bad people” and describing migration as “an invasion.” El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele agreed to house 300 deportees in high-security prisons. Critics warned Trump’s declaration could be misused to expel Venezuelans without due process. The Justice Department has appealed the ruling, with a hearing set for Friday.

Israel is carrying out "extensive" airstrikes across Gaza after ceasefire talks collapsed, with Hamas’ health ministry reporting over 400 deaths. The Israeli military says it is targeting Hamas, accusing the group of rejecting proposals to extend the ceasefire and refusing to release hostages. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to "act against Hamas with increasing military strength." Hamas condemned the attacks, calling them assaults on "defenceless civilians," and urged mediators to hold Israel responsible. Israel claims 59 hostages remain in Gaza, with up to 24 alive. A hostage family group accused the government of abandoning captives by resuming attacks.

Former US President Donald Trump declared Joe Biden’s last-minute presidential pardons, including one for Hunter Biden, "null and void," alleging they were signed via autopen without Biden’s awareness. Trump claimed those pardoned would face investigations, accusing Biden’s team of misconduct. While US presidents hold absolute pardon power, Trump suggested courts should determine their validity. Legal experts note the Constitution does not require pardons to be handwritten. If enforced, Trump’s move could lead to prosecutions of political opponents. The Justice Department has yet to respond, but the announcement could escalate political and legal battles in Washington.

On March 17, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the imminent release of approximately 80,000 pages of classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This disclosure, scheduled for March 18, fulfills a longstanding public demand for transparency. Trump remarked, "People have been waiting for decades for this," and hinted at the files' intriguing content. Earlier in the year, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to prepare for the release of records concerning the assassinations of JFK, his brother Robert Kennedy, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. In February, the FBI uncovered thousands of previously unseen documents related to JFK's assassination. This comprehensive release aims to shed light on historical events that have been the subject of extensive speculation and numerous conspiracy theories.

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have intensified, with reports indicating that the death toll has surpassed 10,000. The Gaza Health Ministry, led by Hamas, reports that over 4,000 of those killed are children. This escalation follows a breakdown in ceasefire negotiations, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to authorize expanded military operations. The conflict has resulted in significant civilian casualties, with entire neighborhoods in Gaza being flattened. The international community, including the United Nations, has called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, emphasizing the urgent need to address the escalating crisis and prevent further loss of life.

On March 15, 2025, over 100,000 Serbians assembled in Belgrade to protest against President Aleksandar Vučić's administration, marking one of the largest demonstrations in recent history. The protests were ignited by a tragic railway station roof collapse in Novi Sad on November 1, 2024, which claimed 15 lives. Demonstrators attribute the disaster to governmental corruption and substandard construction practices, as the station had undergone recent renovations by Chinese state companies. The movement, initially led by students, has expanded to include various societal sectors, all demanding accountability and justice for the victims. Despite the government's dismissal of these allegations, the protests persist, reflecting widespread discontent with Vučić's leadership.

Group Captain John 'Paddy' Hemingway, the last surviving pilot of the Battle of Britain, has died peacefully at 105. Serving with the Royal Air Force's 85 Squadron during World War II, Hemingway played a pivotal role in defending the UK against Nazi forces in 1940. Remarkably, he survived being shot down four times and endured multiple crash landings. Born in Dublin in 1919, Hemingway joined the RAF in 1938 and participated in significant wartime events, including the Battle of France and the Dunkirk evacuation. His distinguished career continued post-war, retiring as a group captain in 1969. Leaders, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, have paid tribute to his bravery and contribution to securing freedom.
