Not since Grover Cleveland won non-consecutive terms in 1884 and 1892 has an American president duplicated this feat. Now Donald Trump, at 78 years old, has come back to win a second term. With it, he has loomed large over American politics for well over a decade. Will Trump’s second term become a success? Or will it, like Cleveland’s, turn into a cautionary tale? In his inaugural address, Trump indicated that his years away from office have not altered his approach to national politics.

Israeli tourist Yuval Vagdani had to escape for the second time. On October 7, 2023, he survived the Hamas massacre at the Nova music festival near Gaza. Then in the first week of January 2025, he escaped Brazil ahead of a court-ordered investigation into his service as a military reservist in Gaza. He was vacationing in Brazil. Vagdani’s near miss is part of an international trend targeting Israeli soldiers with politically motivated arrests.

Zwelivelile Mandla Mandela, the grandson of South African anti-Apartheid champion Nelson Mandela, reportedly did not receive a visa in time to fly to the United Kingdom for a speaking tour that started on October 10. Under UK guidelines on visa issuance, the government would have ample justification for denying a visa to an individual like Mandela who has openly supported Hamas and called on others to support Hamas’s war against Israel.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the formation of a coalition government on Sunday. Given the dominant position of his African National Congress (ANC), the government is poised to continue Pretoria’s anti-Israel and anti-American policies despite the new governing coalition’s inclusion of a party with a more positive stance toward Israel. Under Ramaphosa, South Africa has bolstered ties with Iran, Russia, and China, including both defense and economic cooperation.
