Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) again refused to state whether he supported Israel taking military action against Iran after the Islamic regime fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles into the country last week. Walz’s expressed his soft support for Israel during a “Fox News Sunday” interview with Shannon Bream when confronted about his refusal to answer a question during last week’s vice presidential debate on whether he supported Israel responding with military force. “Do you now think that Israel has a right to either strike oil facilities nuclear facilities?” Bream asked. “What’s your position on that?” Once again, Walz refused to answer the question and instead spoke about the need to return hostages and bring humanitarian aid to people inside Gaza, where Hamas built up its terrorist capabilities for years. He at least acknowledged that Iran was the entity responsible for the majority of terrorism in the Middle East, but would only say that Israel had a “right to defend itself,” not a right to strike back. “We need to bring this to a conclusion,” he said. When asked again if he would support a strike against Iran’s nuclear or oil facilities, Walz again would not answer, only saying that “specific operations will be dealt with at the time.” WATCH: ?

During her visit, Liz not only took pictures but also had a chance to meet Kate Middleton.  “When we got there, we were told that the prince would say a quick hello. So I thought, OK, you’d be like, ‘Hi’, and then that would be it,” Liz told the Times. “But then we were sitting in the little area on the sofa, and then all of a sudden they just walk in and we were like, ‘Oh!’ I felt very honored.” Liz and Kate had a sweet chat that didn’t revolve around cancer treatment. Instead, they shared tips and their passion for photography. A pleasure to meet with Liz at Windsor today. A talented young photographer whose creativity and strength has inspired us both. Thank you for sharing your photos and story with us.

And so because of that, I feel like the only thing you can do is do as much as possible, as much as possible of what you want to do and what you enjoy,” the teen said. “And to spend it with the people you love.” This story’s featured image is by Visionhaus/Getty Images.

After years on the streets, a cat returned to a deck and spent his first night in warmth, comfort, and more. DariusChatonsOrphelinsMontrealDarius, the cat, had likely spent his entire life on the streets before being spotted by a concerned passerby.He was in rough shape, with an injured eye and a wound on his neck. An animal rescuer responded to a post about the cat and tried to bring him to safety, but by then, he had disappeared and was nowhere to be found.At the end of winter, the cat returned to the neighborhood and appeared on a resident's deck. Starving and desperate, he was ready for a change. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealDarius scarfed down the food the resident had provided, gazing through the window, intrigued by the life on the other side of the door.The rescuer set up a humane trap in the area and waited for the cat to arrive. Darius was so hungry that he went straight to the food with the door shut behind him. "Given his condition, he wouldn't have survived much longer outside," Chatons Orphelins Montreal shared. ChatonsOrphelinsMontreal"He was finally able to spend his first night in the warmth and comfort of a home."Darius came with a host of health issues and was treated for fleas, parasites, and ear infections. He needed surgery for his eye and a full dental. Estimated to be nine years old, Darius was finally on the mend. ChatonsOrphelinsMontreal"He went to his foster home to heal and regain his strength. His gentle side came out after just a few days." When he accepted getting his ears cleaned and treated by his carer, he quickly grew fond of petting.With a cozy room and an abundance of food, he came out of his shell and showed interest in his people. He watched them go about their day and switched on his purr motor when they stroked him. ChatonsOrphelinsMontreal"This teddy bear with big bear paws was able to have surgery for his eye and teeth. Now, he no longer endures pain when he eats."Just as things seemed to be getting better, life took an unexpected turn when his condition declined overnight. With a visit to the emergency vet, they were able to stabilize him and treat him for a complication. ChatonsOrphelinsMontreal"After two days at the hospital, he bounced back on his feet and started eating on his own again."With a new routine and diet, his levels returned to normal, and his fur became soft and gleaming.

ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealDarius sports an adorable permanent wink.

He has a great need for love and purrs as soon as we cuddle him." ChatonsOrphelinsMontreal"Every evening, he comes to nap near us or asks to be held like a baby. At night, he joins us in bed and snuggles close. He has a soft side that melts hearts."Darius relishes his life as an indoor cat, basking in the warm sunlight by the window without a care in the world. He's still a kitten at heart, making the softest meows when he seeks attention. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealAs soon as the feather toy comes out, Darius springs to life, pouncing and running with youthful energy.
