Two gunmen killed 15 people, including children and a rabbi, in a terrorist attack on Bondi Beach, with Islamic State flags found nearby. Syrian-born al-Ahmed tackled and disarmed one attacker, earning $1.3 million from Jewish donors for his recovery.

Goldsmith, ex-wife of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan, reports a 97% drop in her post impressions this year, from hundreds of millions monthly to just 28.6 million total, based on X's Grok analytics.

Khan has been detained since August 2023 on corruption charges his party calls politically motivated; a UN expert urged an end to his solitary confinement on December 12, 2025. Supporters like Piers Morgan call the treatment outrageous, while critics point to Khan's convictions.
