French police detained a man on Monday after he attacked three women with knives near Porte de Clichy in Paris, Interior Minister Laurent Nunez told reporters.

The man attacked the three women, who were aged 19, 24 and 36, with two kitchen knives, severely wounding two of them, Nunez said.

The minister said the man had been detained by an off-duty police officer. “I pay tribute to him, it was a courageous act,” Nunez added.

The motive of the attack remains unknown, Nunez said, adding police could not verify the identity of the attacker, whose declarations were “incoherent” when he was being arrested.

A new video shows the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was cheerleading the war effort from his office as President Donald Trump launched strikes on Iran in February.

“I talked to Trump this morning, he’s jacked. He said, ‘Best thing I’ve ever done.’ He loves blowing stuff up,” Graham told a documentary crew, according to footage obtained by The Wall Street Journal.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino dismissed the controversies that marred the 2026 World Cup, calling on the soccer tournament’s critics to “take a moment to reflect, meditate, pray, or watch a football match.”

“To those behind their pens and papers, behind their screens spreading hate and false rumours, I want to say that while you are sitting behind, we at FIFA are on the front lines organising, working hard, and delivering the best show in the world,” he wrote in an open letter posted on FIFA’s website on Sunday. “While you divide, we unite.”

“We experienced no violence, no incidents, 100% safety and security, only joy and happiness!” he continued.

Infantino claimed FIFA “worked tirelessly” to reconcile differences between Tehran and Washington, claiming “Iran entered the United States without incident or conflict.” Despite Infantino’s assessment, Iran’s coach said his team was “the most oppressed one in the whole World Cup,” citing last-minute travel changes.

Infantino also seemed to brush off high-profile controversies, like the decision to lift the one-game suspension for U.S. player Folarin Balogun following an intervention by President Donald Trump.

“Your dissatisfaction with a few decisions made by the competent authorities is understandable, but please refer to public records: such decisions are common in some of the most important leagues,” he said. “Indeed, ‘arguable’ referees’ decisions or ‘strange’ disciplinary rulings such as for instance potentially mistaken red or yellow cards or subsequent decisions not to ban players in certain situations are routine and widely accepted in some of the biggest leagues worldwide.”

Infantino then went on to encourage “those spending their time and energy hating us, please take a moment to reflect, meditate, pray, or watch a football match and truly observe the faces, the eyes, the emotions.”

In an interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he’s planning to attend the U.N. General Assembly in New York City this fall, accusing Zohran Mamdani of “fomenting hate” after the mayor called for the politician’s arrest.

Last week, Mamdani said New York City does not have the legal authority to enforce the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu but encouraged the federal government to do so, arguing that they don’t face the same constraints.

But Trump has declared that Netanyahu “will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America.”

Speaking to Bartiromo, Netanyahu described the mayor’s recent comments as “hate speech.”

“He’s fomenting hate,” Netanyahu said. “He’s supposed to be the mayor of all New Yorkers — Jews, Muslims, Christians, everyone — but he’s trying to turn one group against the other and he’s foisting hate and fear.”

The man at the helm of the Democratic Party’s main organizing apparatus is beginning to crack under pressure, according to insiders.

Nestled in a New York Times story about the Democratic National Committee’s dire financials was the mention of an incident between chair Ken Martin, a junior aide and a cell phone. Martin, who is contending with $2 million of DNC debt and a shrinking list of allies, reportedly threw his phone “in a pique of frustration” earlier this month.

Although the Times spoke with half a dozen people familiar with the incident, none witnessed it firsthand. There was also some contention over “how aggressively the phone was tossed,” and whether it was aimed at the desk or the aide. However, the incident sparked a formal complaint to the DNC’s human resources department.

“We’re still trying to figure this out,” Davis said.

Two people died at the scene and a third died at a hospital. Four others were wounded and are hospitalized in stable condition, Davis said.
