Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
President Trump and other members of his cabinet eulogized conservative activist Charlie Kirk yesterday at a huge memorial service.
It was held at an NFL stadium just outside Phoenix.
Tens of thousands of people attended.
Kirk's widow, Erica, gave a powerful statement during her remarks in the service.
That man.
I forgive him."
President Trump noted that Charlie Kirk wished his opponents well, but with a smile,
Trump said, quote, I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for them.
Palestinian officials in the Israeli-occupied West Bank are thanking world leaders for officially recognizing the state of Palestine.
Yesterday, Australia, Britain and Canada said they will formally recognize the state.
Several other countries are soon expected to follow, and Pierre's Kerry Khan has more.
Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Farsan Aghbikyan applauded the declarations but said to believe there can be peace and security in the region without an independent state of Palestine is quote,
a delusion.
It will never happen as long as these rights are violated,
as long as we are not seen as human beings, worthy of living.
And worthy of our country.
There are no public commemorations planned in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
Many say with the war in Gaza still raging,
and the death toll surpassing 65,000, there is little to celebrate.
