    Air traffic controller suspended after Free Palestine broadcast to Israeli pilots
    A French air traffic controller has reportedly been suspended after declaring "Free Palestine" while communicating with Israeli pilots operating an El Al aircraft.The incident occurred on Monday shortly after the plane took off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, according to reports. A spokesperson for El Al told Fox News Digital that the airline viewed the incident "with utmost severity" and said the air traffic controller's comments were "unprofessional and inappropriate.""EL AL will continue to fly proudly around the world with the Israeli flag on its aircraft, upholding professionalism and ensuring the safety and security of its passengers and crews," the airline said in a statement.FRANCE TO DEPORT PALESTINIAN WOMAN OVER ANTISEMITIC POST FEATURING HITLER, HALTS GAZA EVACUATIONSFrench Transportation Minister Philippe Tabarot was quick to respond to the incident and called for an investigation."If the facts were confirmed, they would be reprehensible as they would violate the rules of radio communications, which must be limited to the safety and regularity of air traffic," Tabarot wrote in a post on X on Monday shortly after the incident was reported. He added that the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) was analyzing recordings of radio communications from the morning of the incident.Tabarot later confirmed on X that the recordings matched what El Al reported and said that the air traffic controller was identified and barred from performing any duties "until further notice." The French official also said that disciplinary proceedings were initiated immediately. He further condemned the incident on Wednesday, saying that the transportation industry is not immune to "the rise of antisemitism and hateful behaviors that exploit the situation in the Middle East."FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON TO RECOGNIZE 'STATE OF PALESTINE' IN SEPTEMBER AT UN GENERAL ASSEMBLYThe air traffic controller incident comes amid challenges for El Al in France, including the vandalizing of its Paris office and Frances temporary halt of the renewal of work visas for its security staff.On Tuesday, a French government source reportedly confirmed to the Times of Israel that the renewal of work visas for El Al security staff members had been stopped. The decision was allegedly related to difficulties faced by French diplomatic staff in security screenings.U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee reposted a report on the pause in visa renewals and said "what happened to France?"HUNDREDS OF ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTORS ARRESTED IN LONDON FOR SUPPORTING GROUP BANNED UNDER TERRORISM LAWEarlier this month, El Als Paris offices were smeared with red paint as well as pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel graffiti. The words "Free Palestine" and "El Al Genocide Airline" were painted on the exterior of the offices. The Israeli Embassy in France shared photos of the incident, with Minister Plenipotentiary Asaf Moran decrying the "climate of violent and unrestrained incitement by certain French elected officials."Following the vandalism incident, Israeli Ambassador to France Joshua Zarka visited El Als Paris offices and vowed that Israels government would stand by its people and Israeli businesses.Israeli Transportation Secretary Miri Regev also commented on the incident, calling it a "barbaric and violent act." She seemed to blame French President Emmanuel Macron, who recently announced that France would recognize a Palestinian state. Regev also said Macrons statement was a gift to Hamas.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPTabarot quickly condemned this incident as well and said that "acts of hatred and antisemitism have no place in our republic."Regev responded by thanking Tabarot for his "clear and unequivocal words against antisemitism.""French citizens must understand, today its El Al, tomorrow it could be Air France. We must all act together to condemn antisemitism and hatred, everywhere in the world," Regev wrote.Fox News Digital reached out to Charles de Gaulle Airport and DGAC but did not receive responses in time for publication.

    Mamdani recalls Obama call about 'darkness' in politics after NYC primary victory
    Zohran Mamdani confirmed to reporters that he spoke to former President Barack Obama on the phone soon after declaring victory in New York City's Democratic primary in June."It was a call that I was honored to receive," Mamdani said during an anti-Trump event in the Bronx on Thursday.The 33-year-old mayoral hopeful told reporters that after winning the primary, he discussed with Obama "the importance of hope in our politics and the ways in which we govern to deliver on that." Mamdani said they focused on the campaign he ran, calling it an "honor to receive that time" with the former president."We spoke about the importance in a moment such as this, where politics is often characterized by a language of darkness, the necessity of hope in how we speak and how we orient ourselves to the world," Mamdani said.ZOHRAN MAMDANI FIRES BACK AT WHITE HOUSE MISPRONOUNCING HIS NAME: 'M-A-M-D-A-N-I'The democratic socialist said he is "lucky" to have an example in the former president of how to rise above the barrage of criticism that has been thrown his way on the campaign trail.DEMS AT A CROSSROADS AS ESTABLISHMENT PLANS 'PROJECT 2029' WHILE SOCIALIST CANDIDATE WINS NYC MAYORAL PRIMARYDuring an anti-Trump stop on Staten Island on Wednesday, Mamdani was told to "go back to where you came from" and called a "commie" by some protesters outside his event."I know that those New Yorkers are representative just of themselves. And yet, sadly, that is what politics has become for far too many," Mamdani said.Mamdani answered a follow-up question about his discussion with Obama during the final stop on his anti-Trump tour across New York City in Queens on Friday.The Democratic nominee said Obama's "stature speaks for itself.""It was an honor to have that conversation, and that presents for us an opportunity to continue to build on both the way in which we practice our politics, but also, as the borough president said, it is one thing to inspire hope. Our responsibility now is also to deliver on and take justice seriously," Mamdani said.And as he spoke to reporters in his home borough, Mamdani began looking to the future, reflecting on the reality that he could very likely become the mayor of New York City."The first 100 days, the first year, the first term of what it means to be the mayor of the city, such that the New Yorkers who got to vote for the very first time, more than 30,000 we registered in the last ten days, but they continue to vote because they continue to see themselves in their democracy," Mamdani said.The details of Obama's call to Mamdani were first reported by The New York Times on Wednesday.According to the reporting, Obama congratulated Mamdani, offered him advice about governing, and the two discussed the importance of hope during a dark time politically, citing people with knowledge of the conversation.The report also details how Obama's former aides, including the "Obama Bros" of "Pod Save America," Jon Favreau and Dan Pfieffer, have been in communication with Mamdani's Democratic strategist, Morris Katz.Obama has built a reputation since leaving office in 2016 for his strategic participation in politics.The news about his call to Mamdani broke as ABC News reported this week that Obama praised a group of Texas Democrats for fleeing the state to avoid voting for an ever-controversial Trump-backed redistricting bill, calling it "inspiring."

    'Sharks wont do anything to you': Florida spearfisherman attacked by shark minutes after reassuring family
    What began as a routine free-diving trip off Floridas coast ended with a bull shark bite for a veteran spear fishermanjust minutes after reassuring his visiting family not to worry about the famed predators.Chance Armand, 28, who started spearfishing in 2020, took up free diving this year and said that even though sharks are a normal occurrence, "nothing crazy" usually happens."You run into them, you catch a glimpse of each other, and they might try and punk you for your fish, but they don't actually do anything about it," Armand told Fox News Digital.BOY, 13, WHO LOST LEG IN SHARK ATTACK SHARES MIRACULOUS STORY OF SURVIVAL: THE LORD GAVE ME THE STRENGTHThe Milton local said his perspective changed during an Aug. 2 trip when one of the ocean hunters sank its teeth into his leg, sending him to the emergency room.On the day of the attack, Armand was taking his family, visiting from Oklahoma, out on the water for their first ocean experience."I was talking to them about getting in the water with me and maybe shooting fish," Armand said. "They were all concerned about sharks, and I'm sitting there blowing them off like, 'Oh, don't worry about it. Sharks won't do anything to you.'"The group spotted a few sharks while fishing, but Armand said he didn't think anything of it."I decided to take a dive for myself, since everybody else had shot a fish by this point, and took a dive to 65 feet. I hung there for a little bit, waiting for the fish to get used to my presence," he said. "A good-sized yellow jack swam past me, I shot him at 65 feet, and started pulling it in to secure the fishkeep it from struggling in the water column and attracting sharks."At about 55 feet, Armand looked down to see a bull shark "flying up from the bottom."SHARK BITES BEACH FISHERMAN WHO DRAGGED THRASHING PREDATOR BACK TO WATER AFTER CATCHHe said Florida sharks often associate boats and the sound of a spear gun going off with an easy meal, prompting their quick response."He came flying up trying to get the fish before some other shark did, went full send, and connected with me on accident while he was trying to get the fish," Armand said. "As soon as he bit my leg and realized it wasn't the fish, he let go and didn't chew on me or anything, thankfully. It could have been way worse if he decided to gnaw on me for a little bit."The toothy opportunist took the fish and swam back down to the bottom of the ocean, leaving Armand without a fish and a little bit less skin.After resurfacing and letting the others know what had happened, the group climbed back into the boat and hoisted Armand inside. Using a spear gun band, a fillet knife and a T-shirt, they created a makeshift tourniquet to stop the bleeding.Armand posted photos capturing the once-in-a-lifetime experience to Facebook, showing him smiling while holding the tourniquet on the ride back to shore.When asked how it was possible to keep a positive attitude amid the shock and pain of what had just happened, Armand said he controls what he can and "gives God the rest.""When I got on the boat, obviously it was serious. We needed to get the bleeding to stop," he said. "Once we got that tourniquet on and saw that the bleeding stopped, it was kind of a breath of relief. From there on, it was just a boat ride on the ocean, taking a ride back to the dock and just hanging out talking to my cousins from Oklahoma."FLORIDA SHARK ATTACKS SURFER, LATCHED ON LIKE A BEAR TRAP IN WORLDS BITE CAPITALOnce back on land, emergency responders took him to the hospital where he underwent anesthesia to clean and inspect the wound. After a considerable number of stitches, he was able to return home."It was a blessing," Armand said. "Thankfully, somehow all the teeth danced around all the important stuffno ligaments, arteries or bones were hit, so no structural damage. They were able to stitch it back together, and I was walking on it the next day."Armand said he posted the now-viral photos on social media in hopes of another diver spotting his missing spear gun, which fell overboard during the scurry to safety.TWO SHARK ATTACKS REPORTED IN SEPARATE VACATION HOTSPOTS AS SUMMER BEACH SEASON STARTS"It just blew up from there," he said. "I'm just kind of taking the opportunity with the attention to bring light to the abundance of sharks we have in the Florida waters. I'd love to see the culture change on sharks in Florida. If you harvest a shark, and you take care of the meat properly, it's great table fare."We have a lot of sharks in the water, so it's not like we're in danger of hurting the population at all, especially when it comes to bull sharks. They're a dime a dozen out there, we see them every single time we go out. I'd love to see people look at them as more of a renewable resource, just like any other fish in the water, that can be responsibly managed and harvested as food."Undeterred by the attack, Armand said he plans on returning to his ocean hobby once he is fully recovered."Hopefully, once the stitches are out, I'll be back in the water for grouper season, starting on Sept. 1," he said. "Just as long as I get the green light from the doctor that I'm not going to catch some gnarly infection or something. I'm a little too dumb to quit."In the future, I'll definitely not just assume that the sharks aren't going to go all the way when it comes to stealing a fish. They have telltale signs when they're in pursuit mode, like fins down, [so I will] just try and pay more attention to body language."An Escambia County spokesperson told Fox News Digital it received a 911 call about the incident, but Armand was assisted by fire personnel at Naval Air Station Pensacola.NAS Pensacola did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital.

    Tennis champion Monica Seles reveals incurable disease as doctor shares what to know
    Tennis champion Monica Seles is speaking publicly for the first time about her battle with a rare, incurable muscle-weakening disease.Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in "voluntary muscles," according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes.Voluntary muscles are the ones that connect to the bones, face, throat and diaphragm. They contract to move the arms and legs and are essential for breathing, swallowing and facial movements.GREYS ANATOMY STAR DIAGNOSED WITH AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE AFTER ALARMING SYMPTOMS"My MG journey over the past five years has not been an easy one," Seles said in a press release announcing her collaboration with the immunology company argenx."I felt isolated and defeated, as many of the activities I enjoyed were no longer physically possible for me."Seles' partnership with argenx aims to raise awareness and understanding of MG, and to connect those affected with available tools and resources.Myasthenia gravis is classified as an autoimmune disease, according to Dr. Earnest Lee Murray, a board-certified neurologist at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital in Jackson, Tennessee.This means the bodys own defense system attacks the connection between the nerves and muscles."Myasthenia gravis is different from other neuromuscular diseases in that oftentimes, patients symptoms fluctuate throughout the day," Murray told Fox News Digital.Overall symptoms range from very mild double vision and droopiness of the eyelids to difficulty walking, breathing and swallowing."Some patients who start with only mild eye symptoms can progress to more severe symptoms in the first few years of their diagnosis," the doctor added.However, some patients only experience eye issues.MINI-STROKES MAY CAUSE SURPRISING LONG-TERM HEALTH ISSUE, EXPERTS WARNHeat, such as from summer weather or hot showers, can make symptoms worse, according to experts. As physical exertion can also exacerbate symptoms, Murray noted that patients must pace themselves.Certain health conditions like COVID-19, the flu or urinary tract infections can trigger a serious worsening of symptoms, called a "myasthenic crisis," which often leads to hospitalization for closer respiratory monitoring.It's important for patients to let their physicians know they have myasthenia gravis before starting a new medication, Murray said, as some drugs, including antibiotics, can worsen symptoms."If there is a question, patients can always check with their neurologist," he advised.Doctors typically manage MG in two ways. First, they may prescribe a medication like pyridostigmine, which can temporarily reduce muscle weakness, according to Mayo Clinic.They may also prescribe medications that calm the immune system to stop it from attacking the nerves and muscles.In the past, this immune suppression was done with steroids like prednisone. Now, there are newer medicines that target the disease more directly. These targeted treatments can work well and may cause fewer side effects, according to Murray.While MG can be serious, the doctor stressed that its not the end of the road.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"Most patients live a fairly normal life, both personally and professionally," he said. "With close management and a neurologist familiar with MG, treatments can be tailored to optimize patients quality of life."Anyone who experiences occasional double vision, eyelid drooping or weakness that gets worse with fatigue should talk to their doctor about getting tested, Murray recommends.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthDiagnosis usually involves blood tests, nerve tests and a neurological evaluation.Symptoms like trouble breathing, swallowing or holding the head up require immediate emergency care, Murray said.Fox News Digital reached out to Monica Seles requesting comment.

    Luke Bryan blasts 'idiots' who throw things at singers after he was hit mid-performance
    Luke Bryan slammed concertgoers who throw things at artists, calling them "idiots" after he was hit in the face at one of his shows."My official statement is people throw things at artists and theyre idiots," Bryan said during an appearance on the Bobby Bones Show this week. "Its the deterioration of the moral fabric of how your a-- ought to act."Bryan was hit with a ball while performing at the North Dakota State Fair on July 26.LUKE BRYAN GETS HIT IN THE FACE BY OBJECT THROWN ON STAGE DURING CONCERTBryan, 49, recalled the moment he realized someone had thrown something during his encore performance."It was this little beach ball thing, like a hacky sack," he remembered. "When Im sitting there singing, and Im just doing my deal, and it comes into my frame, obviously I flinched. It got me."The country music star explained the "most frustrating thing" was that the size of the ball was exaggerated, causing concern among his family."But then the problem with it is, is then it makes all of my family members and friends that don't have all the social media to go watch what actually happened, then they call me and then it turns into I got hit by, like I said, a baseball," Bryan continued.WATCH: LUKE BRYAN HIT IN FACE BY OBJECT DURING PERFORMANCEBryan was in the middle of an encore performance of his song "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" at the North Dakota State Fair when someone in the crowd hurled an object at the stage and smacked him directly in the face.The moment was caught on camera by fans, with Bryan seen slightly recoiling after the hit. He flashed a quick look of surprise, but instead of stopping the show, the "American Idol" judge continued to perform as if nothing had happened."Poor Luke Bryan got hit in the face during his encore," the caption on the fan video read on TikTok. "Carried on like a champ though."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSCLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERThe "Play It Again" crooner said he is not a stranger to having things thrown at him while on stage."This is not a new thing," he told Bones. "That was a great thing to get thrown at me. It was a little beach ball. Ive had $1,100 cell phones get thrown at me."Bryan explained that fans would throw their phones on stage hoping the musician would make a video for them. "Let's just showcase entitlement," he said.He noted the July 26 incident was likely a "bunch of kids" being "silly.""When the thing came in ... the little ball or whatever it was came in, I mean, the first thing I do is ... I see red, and I get my composure.""I got pissed for three seconds and finished it," he added.Fox News Digital's Stephanie Giang-Paunon contributed to this report.

    White House fires back as Trump's use of DC police for crime crackdown is placed in the crosshairs by Dems
    Several Democratic lawmakers are pushing a joint resolution that aims to put the kibosh on President Donald Trump's move this week to leverage the services of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department as he tries to crack down on crime in the nation's capital.The resolution reads, in part, "Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That pursuant to section 740(b) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act the emergency determined by the President on August 11, 2025, in the Executive Order titled Declaring a crime emergency in the District of Columbia is hereby terminated."White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson sounded off in a statement emailed to Fox News Digital.BRAZENLY UNLAWFUL: DC OFFICIALS ESCALATE FIGHT WITH TRUMP OVER POLICE TAKEOVER"President Trump is taking bold action to address the out-of-control crime that has been plaguing Washington D.C. for far too long. But instead of supporting what should be a bipartisan measure to Make DC Safe Again, Democrats are burying their heads in the sand, denying there is a problem, and carrying the torch for dangerous criminals that terrorize DC communities," Jackson asserted."DC residents know the reality on the ground crime was out of control and President Trumps actions are making the city safer. The lefts refusal to support widely popular issues with the American public like stopping violent crime are why their approval ratings are at historic lows and will continue to tank," she added.The House Democrats introducing the joint resolution include Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, Robert Garcia of California, and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton of the District of Columbia, while Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., will introduce it in the upper chamber, according to a House Judiciary Committee Democrats press release.AG SHOWDOWN: DC ATTORNEY GENERAL REJECTS US ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI ORDER AS UNLAWFUL"Trump has made clear that his efforts in D.C., where 700,000 taxpaying American citizens lack the protections of statehood, are part of a broader plan to militarize and federalize the streets of cities around America whose citizens voted against him. The legislation we are introducing today would stop this campaign by ending Trumps hostile takeover of D.C.s police force," Raskin said, according to the press release."Under the D.C. Home Rule Act, Congress has given the president the power only to direct the Mayor to make the Metropolitan Police Department available for a specific federal purpose but has given him no power simply to take over the Department. In any event, there is no federal emergency justifying such a takeover even if Congress sought to use its lawmaking power to effectuate it," he asserted.Part of the joint resolution asserts that the president did not point out emergency conditions that compel utilization of the police for federal purposes in D.C.In the executive order issued this week, the president declared, in part, "I determine that special conditions of an emergency nature exist that require the use of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (Metropolitan Police force) for Federal purposes "DC GUN PERMIT WAIT SLASHED FROM MONTHS TO DAYS AS TRUMP'S CRIME CRACKDOWN CONTINUESThe order notes, "Effective immediately, the Mayor of the District of Columbia (Mayor) shall provide the services of the Metropolitan Police force for Federal purposes for the maximum period permitted under section 740 of the Home Rule Act."The Home Rule Act that the president cited in his order notes that the police services for federal purposes will terminate if Congress enacts a joint resolution to provide for that termination."Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this section, such services made available in accordance with subsection (a) of this section shall terminate upon the end of such emergency, the expiration of a period of thirty days following the date on which such services are first made available, or the enactment into law of a joint resolution by the Congress providing for such termination, whichever first occurs," a portion of the pertinent provision in the Home Rule Act reads.Fox News Digital's Elizabeth Elkind contributed to this report

Berry filed for divorce in April 1996, citing "irreconcilable differences." Justice filed his own divorce papers two weeks later. It was made official in June 1997.During a recent appearance on the "All the Smoke" podcast, Justice suggested his marriage dissolved due to Berry's apparent lacking of cooking and cleaning. "She dont cook, dont clean, dont really seem motherly," Justice told former NBA player Matt Barnes.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMShortly after Justice's comments surfaced, the Oscar winner shared a series of photos on social media.

" She asked me to marry her after knowing me for five months. I said, OK because I couldnt say no but I dont know if my heart was really into it."" My knowledge and wisdom around relationships wasnt vast. So Im looking at my mom, and Im a midwest guy, so in my mind Im thinking, a wife at that time should cook, clean and then Im thinking, OK if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with or a family with."And at that time, as a young guy, she dont cook, dont clean, dont really seem like motherly and then we start having issues."Berry and Justice's divorce was finalized in 1997.
