Air Canada flight attendants were ordered back to work after a strike on Saturday grounded hundreds of flights and stranded passengers nationwide. The Canadian Industrial Relations Board extended the expired contract until a new deal is reached, but the flight attendants’ union, CUPE, told members to defy the order, accusing the government of siding with the airline, according to BBC.

Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu imposed binding arbitration, saying stability and supply chains must be protected. Air Canada said flights will gradually resume from Monday but warned it may take up to 10 days to return to normal.

The dispute centers on pay. The airline offered a 38 percent raise over four years, while CUPE argues the deal falls below inflation and still leaves attendants unpaid for time on the ground. The union denounced the government’s move as a violation of workers’ rights, BBC reported.

Hundreds of thousands rallied across Israel on Sunday, with the largest crowd in Tel Aviv’s “Hostages Square,” urging the government to end the Gaza war and secure the release of captives. A nationwide strike disrupted roads, offices, and universities, with nearly 40 arrests, BBC reported.

Families of hostages accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of prolonging a “pointless war,” while Netanyahu and far-right ministers condemned the protests as aiding Hamas.

The demonstrations came after Israel’s decision to occupy Gaza City, condemned by the UN. Heavy bombardment in Gaza’s Zeitoun area forced thousands to flee, with at least 40 Palestinians killed Saturday. The UN says 1.9m Gazans face displacement and worsening malnutrition.

Since Hamas’s October 7 attack that killed 1,200 in Israel, more than 61,000 Palestinians have died in the conflict, according to BBC.

Three people are dead and eight others wounded after a shooting in a crowded New York City club early Sunday morning, Associated Press reported.

Investigators believe a shooter or shooters opened fire with multiple weapons at Taste of the City Lounge in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights after “a dispute” just before 3:30 a.m., killing three men, New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters. 

“It’s a terrible shooting that occurred in the city of New York,” Tisch said at a news briefing. She said officers are investigating at least 36 shell casings from the lounge, as well as a firearm that was discovered in a nearby street. 

Those wounded in the shooting — eight men and three women — are being treated at hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries, she said. The ages the victims range from 27 to 61, according to Associated Press.

Palestinian militant group Hamas said on Sunday that Israel’s plan to relocate residents from Gaza City constitutes a “new wave of genocide and displacement” for hundreds of thousands of residents in the area, Reuters reported.

The group said the planned deployment of tents and other shelter equipment by Israel into southern Gaza was a “blatant deception”.

The Israeli military has said it is preparing to provide tents and other equipment starting from Sunday ahead of its plan to relocate residents from combat zones to the south of the enclave "to ensure their safety".

Hamas said in a statement that the deployment of tents under the guise of humanitarian purposes is a blatant deception intended to "cover up a brutal crime that the occupation forces prepare to execute".
