Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Israel's internal security chief, Ronen Bar, of investigating far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir without his approval, following a report that Bar's agency had been probing links between Ben Gvir and far-right infiltration within the police. In a statement, Netanyahu denounced claims that he authorized Bar's actions as "yet another exposed lie," asserting that the investigation undermined democracy and threatened the stability of his right-wing government. Ben Gvir, responding on social media, labeled Bar a "criminal" and a "liar," alleging a conspiracy against elected officials. This controversy intensified after Israel's Supreme Court froze the government's controversial decision to dismiss Bar, a move that has exacerbated political tensions within the country. Netanyahu had previously expressed a loss of confidence in Bar, reflecting the ongoing divisions in one of Israel's most right-wing administrations.

However, his three children—Christopher, Elizabeth, and Leslie—may still have a claim to his estimated $80 million fortune due to a legal precedent set in the 2009 Chapman v. Varela case, which allows for trusts to be contested under suspicious circumstances. With all named beneficiaries deceased, the children could inherit by default unless the trust is proven valid. Reports indicate that Hackman, who suffered from advanced Alzheimer's, spent his final days in isolation following Arakawa's death from Hantavirus just a week prior. Emergency services discovered their bodies at their Santa Fe home.

The agency has removed references to DEI from its 2027 mission statement, which previously highlighted the goal of sending diverse astronauts to the lunar surface. The updated statement now emphasizes scientific discovery and technological advancement in preparation for future human missions to Mars. NASA spokesperson Allard Beutel confirmed the changes, stating the agency is aligning its language with the president's executive order. This shift reflects a broader trend among US companies, including Google and Amazon, which have scaled back DEI initiatives amid conservative criticism. Additionally, the US Department of Defense has also purged various educational materials from its platforms in compliance with the president's order.
