The Holocaust Museum in Los Angeles faced criticism after deleting an Instagram post stating that “never again” should apply to all people, not just Jews. Many saw the post as acknowledging Palestinian suffering amid Israel’s offensive in Gaza, described by UN experts and rights groups as genocide.

The museum said the post was “open to misinterpretation” and not intended as a political statement, pledging future content would be “more thoughtfully designed and thoroughly vetted”, according to Al Jazeera.

Critics condemned the move as a retreat under political pressure, calling it a failure to uphold universal anti-genocide principles.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has accused Britain, France, and Germany of a “reckless” approach to its nuclear program, saying their alignment with Washington undermines Europe’s credibility. He criticized the E3’s move to trigger UN snapback sanctions as legally unfounded and likely to fail, Al Jazeera reported.

Araghchi said Europe failed to honor commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal after the US reimposed sanctions in 2018, instead supporting US and Israeli strikes on Iranian facilities. He stressed that Iran remains open to dialogue, offering strict oversight of its nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions, while warning that ignoring talks risks escalating regional tensions.

Survivors of the September 1 earthquakes in Afghanistan’s Kunar province are refusing to return to their villages, fearing landslides and aftershocks. The disaster killed over 2,200 people and injured more than 3,600, destroying thousands of homes. Many are sheltering in open fields or along riverbanks, anxious about falling rocks.

Rugged terrain and poor infrastructure have slowed relief efforts. Aid delivered by helicopter has reached some, but survivors report it is limited. In Shaheedan village, Shams-ur-Rahman, who lost six relatives, lives with his family beside a road, lacking even basic shelter. Displaced families remain vulnerable, awaiting more substantial aid and long-term support, according to Reuters.

US President Donald Trump announced that several European leaders will visit the United States this week to discuss the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Specific leaders and details were not disclosed.

Trump expressed concern over the ongoing war but said he remains confident in a resolution and plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon.
