Airlines appear to be the worst hit, with major carriers in the U.Europe, Asia and the Middle East having to delay and cancel thousands of flights.

WASHINGTON — Pro-Israel hawks in both parties on Capitol Hill are sounding the alarm that they are losing confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his handling of the war against Hamas. While progressive lawmakers have consistently been critical of Netanyahu and Israel's counterassault in the Gaza Strip that has leveled buildings and killed thousands of Palestinian civilians, it's significant that pro-Israel lawmakers who serve on key national security panels are now voicing frustration about Netanyahu's leadership, albeit quietly.

MANA - the native token on the leading virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain Decentraland - witnessed a sharp correction as it entered a new year, thereby wiping off all the monthly gains. It fell below a crucial support zone and was currently trading at $0.46. Despite this, MANA maintained growth of approximately 46% over the past year, and the latest downturn might lay the groundwork for a potential upward movement soon.
