"No men playing in women's sports" – Trump

Former President Donald Trump reinforced his stance on keeping "critical race theory and transgender* insanity" out of schools, vowing to protect women's sports. Trump condemned allowing men to compete in women’s events, calling it “demeaning to women.”

“You saw that in the Olympics, they have female boxing – women's boxing – and a young lady from Italy, a very good boxer, very, very good. She was all excited, but she competed against a person who had transitioned – a male transitioned to a female,” Trump said, likely referring to an Olympic boxing match where Italy’s Angela Carini was defeated by Algeria's Imane Khelif, who had previously been disqualified from the 2023 World Championships after failing a gender eligibility test.

Netanyahu vows to defeat 'Iranian proxies' without help of nations mulling arms embargo

"While Israel is fighting the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized nations must stand firmly by Israel's side. However, [French] President [Emmanuel] Macron and other Western leaders are calling for an arms embargo on Israel. Shame on them ... Israel will win with or without their support," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in his address to the nation.

He also noted sarcastically that Iran was not imposing any embargoes on its arms supplies to Palestinian movement Hamas, Lebanese movement Hezbollah, the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis or any other of its 'proxies in the region'.

"But countries that allegedly oppose this axis of terror are calling for an arms embargo on Israel ... their shame will last long after the war is won," Netanyahu said.

Earlier, Macron said he stood in favor of suspending arms supplies to Israel, which is used for military operations in the Gaza Strip, and called such a move a priority for resolving tensions in the region.

In September, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that London had suspended 30 out of some 350 arms export licenses, citing risks that UK weapons might be involved in violations of humanitarian law in the Gaza Strip.
