Romanian top court rejects challenge to annul presidential election

Yahoo22-05-2025
BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania's top court unanimously rejected as unfounded a request to cancel a May 18 presidential election that was won by centrist independent Bucharest mayor Nicusor Dan, it said in a statement on Thursday.
Romania's defeated hard-right contender George Simion had filed the request alleging interference by France and Moldova. Independent observers have said the election was well-organized. The court will validate the election result on Thursday with Dan in attendance.

Trump hits EU for lack of Gaza aid, says Israel needs to 'make a decision' with Hamas not releasing hostages

President Donald Trump blasted the European Union for not providing aid to Gaza on Sunday, adding that Israel must "make a decision" about how to handle the region with Hamas still holding hostages. Trump made the comments while meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland. He said that the U.S. has given millions in aid to Gazans, but claimed there has been no assistance from European countries. Trump went on to note that a deal needs to be made between Israel and Hamas to end the war and return the last remaining hostages to Israel, despite many of them being dead. "But we have a lot of bodies, and the parents want those bodies as much as they would want their child if that child were alive," Trump said of the hostages and their families. He suggested that Hamas is reluctant to make a deal for the final hostages because they feel it would be "the end for them" if they lose leverage against Israel. "You know, they had a routine discussion the other day and all of a sudden they hardened up. They don't want to give them back. And so Israel is going to have to make a decision," Trump said. The meeting comes as the IDF highlighted its efforts to deliver aid into Gaza after restricting the flow in recent months. Israel is now conducting airdrops for aid throughout the region, and the IDF says it conducted 28 drops in a matter of hours on Sunday. "Let me be clear: Israel supports aid for civilians, not for Hamas. The IDF will continue to support the flow of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza," an IDF spokesperson said, claiming Israel transferred roughly 250 trucks full of aid into Gaza this week. The IDF argues the reports about starvation in Gaza were a false campaign promoted by Hamas, but hunger is spreading across the region after the United Nations and the IDF previously failed to reach an agreement about aid distribution, Fox News' Trey Yingst reported.
