Netanyahu said he had spoken with Trump about efforts to secure a hostage release. "We discussed the need to complete Israel's victory and we spoke at length about the efforts we are making to free our hostages," he said.
President Yoon’s imposition of martial law, the first in South Korea in over four decades, lasted a mere six hours. Nevertheless, it triggered significant political unrest, disrupted diplomatic efforts, and unsettled financial markets. The decree was swiftly overturned by a unanimous parliamentary vote, forcing Mr Yoon to rescind the order. During the brief imposition, hundreds of troops and police officers were deployed to the National Assembly in an attempt to block the parliamentary vote, but they withdrew after the decree was rejected. Fortunately, no major incidents of violence were reported.

“This notion of us falling out in 2009 — it wasn’t true, but I couldn’t really do anything about it. Because James then went off to the States, that was the narrative, and however much I said that we didn’t fall out, no amount of protesting would have convinced people otherwise.”
