Hamas-Israel agreement, blank march for Thomas and Sam Altman returns to OpenAI

Did you miss the news this morning? We have put together a summary to help you see things more clearly.

Arms will very temporarily speak a little less between Israel and Hamas. Qatar confirmed this Wednesday the agreement for a “humanitarian pause” in the Gaza Strip, with an exchange of “50 civilian women and children” hostages in this territory for Palestinian prisoners, announced earlier by the two belligerents. “The start of this pause will be announced in the next 24 hours and will last four days, with the possibility of extension,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Gulf emirate on X. While Washington participated in mediation with Doha and Cairo, US President Joe Biden said he was “extraordinarily satisfied”. Russia also welcomed “this humanitarian pause”.

In Drôme, the town of Romans-sur-Isère is to host a white march this Wednesday in tribute to Thomas. This 16-year-old high school student was fatally injured during the night from Saturday to Sunday in the neighboring village of Crépol. Organized by the family, this “apolitical” march must leave at 1:30 p.m. from the Dauphiné high school, where the teenager studied, to end at the Albert-Donnadieu stadium. At the same time, the investigation, opened for “murder” and “attempted murders by an organized gang”, is progressing. Nine suspects were arrested on Tuesday, according to the Valencia prosecutor. “Formally designated as the perpetrator of the fatal stabbing” and arrested, the main suspect is a 20-year-old young man who lives in “the center” of Romans-sur-Isère and “not the Monnaie district,” said Laurent de Caigny.

The start-up, creator of ChatGPT, announced this Wednesday the return to the helm of its co-founder Sam Altman, less than a week after his dismissal. “We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam to return to OpenAI as CEO” with changes in the board of directors, notably headed by Bret Taylor and the arrival of Larry Summers and Adam D’Angelo, explained the business. Sam Altman then claimed to have the support of the boss of Microsoft, who had hired him over the weekend, to make this resounding comeback
