U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is advocating for the addition of warning labels on social media apps to remind users, especially adolescents, of the harm caused, particularly to young people's mental health. Although the label alone won't make social media safe, studies suggest it can raise awareness and influence behavior, akin to the impact of warning labels on tobacco products. Murthy emphasizes the need for regulation by the U.S. Congress to implement these warning labels and has been warning about the detrimental effects of social media on youth, including the increased risk of depression. Some states like New York and Florida are already taking steps to protect minors from such harms through legislation.

Israeli Prime Minister's spokesperson confirmed on Monday that Prime Minister Netanyahu has dissolved the War Cabinet. The War Cabinet, established last year to command the Gaza War, held significant influence. Last week, one of the three War Cabinet members, former Defense Minister Benny Gantz, announced his withdrawal, leading to Netanyahu's expected move. The dissolution of the War Cabinet signifies a shift in Israel's political landscape as the country continues an eight-month war in Gaza. Netanyahu will now hold smaller consultations with some government members to discuss sensitive war-related issues, such as the Security Cabinet opposing ceasefire talks and supporting the reoccupation of Gaza. Critiques argue that Netanyahu's War Cabinet was excessively influenced by extreme nationalist parties within the government, a claim Netanyahu denies by stating his focus on national interests.
