The UN General Assembly adopted a non-binding resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, release of prisoners, and return of deported civilians and children, while reaffirming Ukraine's sovereignty within its recognized borders.

Zelenskyy and Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha welcomed the vote as proof Ukraine stands with the UN Charter, even as U.S. critics like retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg questioned the abstention after four years of war.

The event last Thursday drew Muslim, Jewish, and Christian students to discuss religious commonalities, but Mady—after praising sharia law's punishments and societal reforms—abruptly condemned Bratman, director of CUNY Hillel, prompting nearly 100 Muslim participants to walk out, leaving about 20 attendees. Moderator Joshua Medina expressed shock and apologized, while Bratman called the incident '100 percent antisemitic.' New York Governor Kathy Hochul condemned it as antisemitism and demanded accountability from CUNY, which launched an investigation amid online backlash and concerns over campus safety and Israel-Gaza tensions.

Key Takeaway

At a City College of New York interfaith workshop meant to bridge religious divides, self-proclaimed imam Abdullah Mady suddenly spotted Jewish representative Ilya Bratman and branded him a Zionist responsible for Gaza deaths, urging Muslim students to leave in protest.

Syria's Interior Ministry confirmed a large breakout last month after Syrian Democratic Forces withdrew ahead of government arrival on January 20, finding 138 breaches in the perimeter fence and far fewer than the reported 23,500 residents. The SDF countered by accusing Damascus factions of attacks that forced their exit, claiming government forces then released families under ministry watch. U.S. Central Command saw no escapes beforehand, while estimates put those who fled at 15,000 to 20,000, now scattering across the region as the now-nearly-empty camp highlights tensions in post-Assad Syria.

Key Takeaway

Thousands of ISIS-linked families slipped away from Syria's Al-Hol camp amid a chaotic handover between Kurdish forces and government troops.

On February 18, Edmonton Riverbend MP Matt Jeneroux left Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives to sit with the Liberals, bringing their seat count closer to the 172 needed for a majority in the 343-seat House. He follows Nova Scotia's Chris d’Entremont in November and Ontario's Michael Ma in December, who cited policy differences and constituent feedback. Conservatives decry the moves as disloyal without by-elections, while Liberal allies see moderates fleeing Poilievre's rigid leadership amid economic pressures like inflation and housing woes.

Key Takeaway

Matt Jeneroux sat down with his family and constituents before making the call to cross the floor. Now, he's the third Conservative to join Prime Minister Mark Carney's team since November.

Full Summary

The league handed Brooks a one-game ban without pay after the call came with 6:37 left in the second quarter of Phoenix's 136-109 defeat to Oklahoma City on Wednesday. He'll miss the Suns' Feb. 19 road game against the San Antonio Spurs, costing him about $121,403 from his $21.1 million salary. Brooks leads the NBA with 16 techs this season—tops ahead of Luka Doncic's 13—and vented postgame about inconsistent officiating from ref James Williams, saying refs see him as either victim or bad guy. For a .500 Suns team chasing playoffs, his edge on defense matters, but the tech pace raises discipline questions as he returns Feb. 21 versus the Magic.

Key Takeaway

Dillon Brooks hit his 16th technical foul in a blowout loss to the Thunder, triggering an automatic NBA suspension just before the All-Star break.
