The day’s world headlines span grief, danger and power. In Gaza City, Palestinians held a mass funeral for 112 bodies recovered from beneath rubble nearly three years after an Israeli strike destroyed homes belonging to two extended families, a stark reminder of how long war’s toll continues to surface. In aviation, an Air India flight from Phuket to Delhi hit severe turbulence, injuring about a dozen passengers and crew before landing safely, with Indian regulators now investigating. In global sport, FIFA faces fresh scrutiny after Jordan FA president Ali bin Hussein accused Gianni Infantino of trying to pressure him into endorsing his re-election in exchange for help for Jordan — a serious allegation that deepens questions about football governance. And in business, HSBC delivered a rare note of confidence, posting a 23% jump in first-half profit and reviving a $1 billion share buyback.
