The decision to laser off the Baphomet tattoo from her hip that she got in 2021 comes days after she removed her face fillers and implants as part of her decision to go on a healing journey and reinvent herself. According to Blac Chyna, the start of her "life-changing journey," which included quitting OnlyFans and reversing her cosmetic procedures, was her discovery of religion. She has also gone back to using her original name Angela White instead of Black Chyna, which gave her popularity and stardom.

Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets across Israel after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired his defence minister Yoav Gallant after speaking against the controversial plans by Netanyahu to overhaul the justice system. In capital city, Jerusalem, police and soldiers used water cannon against demonstrators near Netanyahu's house. The reforms include plans that would give the government decisive control over the committee which appoints judges. The reform would also make it harder for courts to remove a leader deemed unfit for office, which has angered many who consider it to favour Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces an ongoing trial for corruption.

The census had to be put forward from the initial date of March 29 to April 2, now to May 3 to 5. “There are two things that informed the shift in date...
