🇨🇦 Carney Sets Election Date of April 28

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called an April 28 election just nine days after taking office, framing the contest around Trump's recent threats to Canadian sovereignty and tariffs against Canadian goods. "President Trump claims that Canada isn't a real country. He wants to break us so America can own us. We will not let that happen," Carney told reporters, while promising tax cuts. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre holds a slight overall polling lead but trails significantly among voters who prioritize the Trump issue. More - Bloomberg

🇮🇱 Israel Expands Gaza Operations While Cabinets Targets Attorney General

Israel's Defense Minister Katz ordered the military to "seize additional territories" in Gaza and threatened permanent occupation if Hamas doesn't release all hostages. The directive followed the breakdown of ceasefire talks and Israel's resumption of bombing, which has killed over 430 Palestinians since Tuesday. Katz claimed Israel would implement "President Trump's voluntary transfer plan for Gaza residents," which UN officials have warned could constitute ethnic cleansing under international law.

Meanwhile, Israel's cabinet passed a no-confidence vote against Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, following the dismissal of Shin Bet security chief Ronen Bar two days earlier. Baharav-Miara condemned the vote as an attempt to gain "limitless power" by weakening judicial oversight, while thousands of protesters demonstrated against what they view as a crackdown on critics of Netanyahu's government. Bar's removal came shortly after Shin Bet released a report acknowledging security failures before Hamas's October 7 attack. More - Al Jazeera
