22.02.2025Day Pope Fought For Breath
The morning brought the return of Shiri Bibas's body and release of five Israeli hostages, with Hamas staging a controversial display at Nuseirat where Omer Shem Tov kissed his captors. Israel delayed the release of Palestinian prisoners in response.

By afternoon, focus shifted to Mulhouse, France, where a terror-flagged assailant killed one and wounded several while shouting "Allah Akbar." Macron labeled it Islamic terrorism.

The evening saw Pope Francis's condition deteriorate significantly, with Vatican sources confirming a severe respiratory crisis requiring oxygen support and blood transfusions. This marked a sharp decline from yesterday's cautious optimism.

Throughout the day, Trump's threats to cut Ukraine's Starlink access unless Zelensky agreed to rare earth minerals deals highlighted the continued erosion of Western support, following patterns from previous days.
