Dole seemed to be a halfhearted gladiator, too decent (and, no doubt, wary) to be a very effective hatchet man and too limited a political performer to provide a very compelling alternative to Bill Clinton, who remains the smoothest of all possible cookies.

Iran has been among the most prominent critics of the historic agreement, which it says represents a betrayal of the Palestinians. Many Arab states have traditionally refused to normalize ties with Israel until the Palestinian question is settled, but the UAE broke the long-standing wall of resistance last month with help from President Donald Trump’s administration. Israel agreed to stop—or perhaps only delay—its planned annexation of parts of the Palestinian West Bank in exchange for the UAE accord....

Mike Baker, a correspondent with The New York Times, shared video of the moment several bangs can be heard in quick succession outside the courthouse....

Portugal boss Fernando Santos sprung a huge surprise by leaving the leading goalscorer in history of international football on the bench.
