The young Cuban, Lester Domínguez, seriously injured with a machete in Holguín more than a year ago, continues to face his recovery in the midst of the desperate situation that hits the island’s inhabitants with more force every day.
His father, Dennis Domínguez, made it known in a Facebook post that the boy feels in good health and is “improving in leg and arm strength.” However, he has spinal problems.
Domínguez once again highlighted all the adversity that he and his son have had to go through in this difficult process, where the scarcity of absolutely everything on the island represents a huge obstacle in the way.
“I will tell you that Lester feels in good health, improving in leg and arm strength, but he still has a problem with his spine. “We continue to wait for total recovery in the midst of the adversity that exists in Cuba,” Dennis said.
Likewise, Lester Domínguez sent his greetings and thanks to boxer Yordenis Ugás, who has kept up to date with the teenager’s recovery.
“Send greetings to Yordenis Ugás, who is very attentive to Lester’s recovery. We have to continue waiting with great faith that one day he will be able to walk again.”

Pressure Mounts On Israel To Abandon Plans To…
Under pressure from the United States, some Israeli officials are urging the government to abandon plans to invade Rafah, in the southern part of Gaza, and give priority to the cessation of fighting and the release of hostages.
Israel believes that the Islamist group Hamas is acquiring weapons through Gaza’s southern border with Egypt. Officials argue that closing the border will cut off the flow of weapons and neutralize Hamas. This approach could help protect the more than 1 million Palestinians taking refuge in Rafah.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is still adamant that the invasion of Rafah is the only way to defeat Hamas. According to the government, four battalions of around 5,000 to 8,000 Hamas fighters are hiding in Rafah, as well as senior leaders, and a number of hostages have also been taken.
Mr Netanyahu and his close ally, Strategic Affairs Minister Delmel, repeated that claim this week, including in connection with tense talks with the United States.
However, after Israel accidentally bombed a convoy of food aid groups, killing seven people, international concerns about civilian casualties, the spread of infectious diseases, and fears of famine grew, leading some to take action,

The capture of El Pitufo marks a significant victory against smuggling and organized crime, benefiting Colombian industries and disrupting illicit operations. Authorities in Colombia and the United States view Marín as a major player in international smuggling, making him a top priority for law enforcement efforts.

Israel-Hamas Hostage Negotiations: Stalemate And Threats Of Withdrawal
Hamas Rejects Israel’s Ceasefire Proposal
Hamas has turned down Israel’s recent offer to halt hostilities and release captives, as reported by CNN on Friday.
An unnamed diplomat, as cited by CNN, stated, “They declined the proposal, claiming it does not address their demands.”
The diplomat further explained that Hamas viewed the Israeli proposal as lacking innovation, hence they saw no reason to alter their stance.
Stalled Negotiations
The negotiations aimed at establishing a sustainable ceasefire, following the recent UN Security Council resolution, have hit a roadblock. Mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and the US have been striving to broker a deal since the conflict erupted in October.
The talks were centered around achieving a six-week ceasefire and implementing a three-phase plan to secure the release of ailing, elderly, and injured hostages in exchange for Palestinian detainees and increased humanitarian assistance.
Despite initial optimism, the discussions faltered as Hamas insisted on two key conditions: the unrestricted return of Gazans to the north and the withdrawal of IDF troo ps.
Future of Negotiations
CIA Director William Burns, Mossad Director David Barnea, and Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar were scheduled to convene in Egypt for further ceasefire deliberations over the weekend.
