🌲 - 🇮🇱🇫🇷 In Jerusalem, a French nun from the Biblical School of French Archeology in Jerusalem was attacked by an Israeli religious extremist and hospitalized. The assailant was arrested.

A Ukrainian refugee, 20, who had his visa cancelled after being charged over an alleged clash with Antifa in Melbourne is now stuck in indefinite immigration detention as he cannot be deported due to the war in his homeland.

Indefinite detention has been ruled illegal by the High Court, and hundreds of serious criminals, including murderers, paedophiles and rapists, have been released into the community as a result.

☪️ 🇺🇸 ⚖️ ‘Muslim City’ in Texas gets legal win after a judge ordered that the state must comply with developers.

The East Plano Islamic Community (EPIC), which has now been rebranded to The Meadow, will feature 1,000 homes, a mosque, schools, and more.

Texas leaders are worried that project leaders will begin imposing Sharia law.

Developers were just awarded a win when a Travis County Judge ordered that Texas state agency, Texas Workforce Commission, must comply with the agreed upon terms with the developer.

The Texas Workforce Commission had argued that the project was under investigation.

“This development remains under active investigation with our federal partners at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). We are taking immediate steps to appeal this decision,” the agency said.

🇨🇭👑 ✝️ Self-declared 'King of Switzerland' builds empire of 117,000 square meters (29 acres) by systematically claiming 'ownerless' land sparking fury among politicians

Jonas Lauwiner, 31, has built what he describes as an 'empire' by claiming 148 ownerless plots of land scattered across Switzerland - including roads now used by homeowners.

The haul, acquired entirely legally, includes 83 stretches of road, giving him significant leverage over local communities and prompting several Swiss cantons to move to tighten rules amid fears others could copy him.

Under Swiss law, land officially registered as ownerless can be claimed free of charge simply by writing to the local council.

Such plots are rare and often consist of abandoned roads, small forest areas or land rejected during inheritance disputes.

But Lauwiner, who crowned himself 'King' when he was just 24, realised the obscure rule could be turned into a property business after painstakingly combing through land registries.

One road he acquired on a housing estate had reportedly been abandoned by a developer. He now charges maintenance fees to residents who use it.

He told Times Radio: 'I am fair. I don't shut the roads, and I do not charge much for them'.

As well as maintenance fees, he said he profits 'by selling the right to construct near my road, and I sell the right of passage if there is a new house'.

Lauwiner compared his acquisitions to a 'military campaign', adding: 'I do it digitally and without bloodshed'.

Lawyer Loris Fabrizio Mainardi launched legal action against Lauwiner, accusing him of 'abusive exploitation', although the lawsuit was later dismissed

Lauwiner insists he has done nothing wrong and says critics are missing the point.

'It's more than just a joke. I have created something new,' he said.

Although widely described as a self-proclaimed monarch, Lauwiner argues the title was first invented by the media.

'I was proclaimed by the German media,' he said. 'They said I was the King of Switzerland. I said, "this is smart".'

Lauwiner fully embraces the image, posing in military-style royal uniforms and running what he describes as the 'official website of] the King of Switzerland'.

His organisation also includes an Order of Merit, an 'imperial bank', and decommissioned military vehicles, including an old amphibious tank displayed outside a building he refers to as his 'palace' in Burgdorf.
