TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Any hope that the Arizona Cardinals might overachieve this season is fading quickly.The Cardinals (1-5) fell to the Los Angeles Rams 26-9 on Sunday, with the Rams scoring 20 unanswered points after halftime. Arizona has been outscored 51-12 in the second half during their current three-game losing streak.“It’s hard as hell to win an NFL football game, man,” Cardinals defensive lineman Jonathan Ledbetter said Sunday.That’s particularly true for the rebuilding Cardinals, who don’t have a ton of talent to cover up mistakes.Joshua Dobbs struggled, completing 21 of 41 passes for 235 yards and had two turnovers in the fourth quarter, including an interception and a lost fumble. The Cardinals had a handful of promising drives stall in the red zone, settling for three field goals in the first half.“It starts with me in the red zone because that’s such an important area of the field,” Dobbs said. “You work so hard to get down there, man. So just si...

What Europe’s role should be in Israel-Hamas war

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:20:02 GMT

Julien Barnes-Dacey is the director of the Middle East and North Africa program at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR). Hugh Lovatt is a senior policy fellow at ECFR.The brutal terror Hamas unleashed upon Israeli civilians on October 7 has rightly provoked full European solidarity. The scenes of horror have deservedly been condemned in the strongest terms, with the European Union backing Israel’s right to self-defense.As the bloc continues to provide strong political backing for Israel, it should also be using its diplomatic channels to prevent dangerous regional escalation. But it must be clear that this isn’t a blank check for a war of annihilation on Gaza — which all prior experience indicates would be counterproductive in addressing the threat posed by Hamas — and the collective punishment of all Palestinians.European leaders should use today’s extraordinary European Council meeting to unite behind this message, putting aside the divisions that have characterized th...
