Which Pearl Harbor survivor recently passed away at the age of 105?
Ira “Ike” SchabIra “Ike” Schab, a U.S. Navy veteran who survived the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, died at his home on December 20, 2025, at the age of 105. Schab had rarely spoken about the traumatic experience for decades but, in recent years, made efforts to attend annual commemorations in Hawaii as awareness grew about the dwindling number of survivors. His death leaves only about a dozen known survivors of the attack that killed over 2,400 Americans and led to the U.S. entering World War II. Schab’s commitment to remembrance in his later years underscored the importance of preserving firsthand historical accounts. His passing marks another significant loss in the living memory of a pivotal moment in 20th-century history.

What key demand did Pakistan’s Chief of Defence Forces make to Afghanistan’s Taliban regime in December 2025?
Choose between Pakistan and the TTPOn December 10, 2025, Pakistan’s Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir, publicly urged Afghanistan’s Taliban government to choose between maintaining relations with Pakistan or supporting the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). In a speech at the National Ulema Conference in Islamabad, Munir stated that a majority of militants infiltrating across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border are Afghan nationals linked to the TTP. He emphasized that Pakistan would not tolerate its neighbor harboring groups that carry out terrorist attacks on its soil. The demand underscores rising tensions between the two countries despite shared ideological ties. This development highlights Pakistan’s growing frustration with cross-border terrorism and its attempt to pressure the Taliban diplomatically.

Why did public concern rise regarding documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice related to Jeffrey Epstein?
16 files, including one featuring Donald Trump, disappeared without explanationIn December 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice released thousands of pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, as mandated by a new congressional law. However, less than 24 hours after being posted, 16 files—including a photograph showing Donald Trump with Epstein, Melania Trump, and Ghislaine Maxwell—were removed from the public webpage without notice or explanation. This disappearance fueled public skepticism and accusations of a cover-up, especially since critical documents like FBI interviews with victims and internal DOJ memos on charging decisions were still missing. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee demanded transparency, questioning what else might be hidden. The incident deepened long-standing doubts about accountability involving powerful figures connected to Epstein.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted the talks were moving 'quite quickly,' though major disagreements between Moscow and Kyiv remain, particularly on Russia’s territorial demands. The U.S. has been actively pushing for a diplomatic resolution, but Russian President Vladimir Putin has recently reaffirmed his maximalist position. Despite the challenges, both sides indicated a willingness to continue dialogue, signaling a potential—but fragile—path toward de-escalation.
