A mountain, a river, and then an asacred forest. In New Zealand, Mount Taranaki, a massive 8,261-foot stratovolcano that is well-liked by skiers and snowboarders, was acknowledged as a legal person on Thursday.

Five Thai nationals who had been taken captive by Hamas since its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, were freed on Thursday. They were among the 31 Thais who were captured by the militant group; 23 of them have since been freed. Two more people have been officially declared dead, and it's unclear how one of them is doing.

Israel used to rely mostly on Palestinian labor, but with the first Intifada, a Palestinian uprising that lasted from 1987 to 1993, it began to import a lot of migrant labor. The majority were from Thailand, and Thai people continue to make significantl...
