Schools in Chaos: Riot Police Clash with Students Amid Nationwide French Protests

On October 1, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that investigations indicate the attacker who stabbed a fellow pilot on a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv had undergone “Islamist radical indoctrination.” The incident saw the plane plunge 17,000ft before passengers and crew overpowered the assailant, leading to a safe emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. Both UAE authorities and Israel’s Mossad are probing for motives, while the UAE asserts jurisdiction over the flagged aircraft. The episode has prompted the suspension of Flydubai‑Israel routes and raised concerns about possible Iranian involvement.

Shoko Kawata, the 36‑year‑old mayor of Yawata City in Kyoto, became the first elected official in Japan to take official maternity leave.

Despite criticism calling the break irresponsible, Kawata stands firm that motherhood should not preclude public service and that politicians should be more inclusive. She has already begun to weave her parental experience into policy dialogue, advocating for stronger support systems for parents across the country.
