      <description>Jubilation in Budapest as Peter Magyar becomes leader and invites people to &quot;step through gate of regime change.&quot;</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>The pro-European centre-right leader Peter Magyar has been sworn in as prime minister of Hungary, marking the official end to Viktor Orbn's 16 years in power.
&lt;p&gt;Saturday's ceremony &quot; during which Magyar had invited people to join him to &quot;write Hungarian history&quot; together and &quot;step through the gate of regime change&quot; &quot; comes a month after his opposition Tisza party won a landslide victory in parliamentary elections.</wordzilla:extended>

      <title>Trump "Bored" With the War He Started ... Iran Not So Much</title>
      <link>https://drudge.com/news/291945/trump-bored-war-he</link>

      <description>He wants out, but Iran could likely keep going for months.</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>Even without a formal agreement, Trump has considered declaring decisive victory and moving on. Secretary of State Marco Rubio went so far as to say earlier this week that the war was over. But doing so now would leave the conflict's goals, as outlined at various times by the president and his aides, unfulfilled. Yes, the Iranian navy has been largely destroyed. But Iran still possesses, by some estimates, more than half of its ballistic-missile capabilities. Its proxy groups, such as Hezbollah, are still fighting. There has not been real regime change. Its nuclear stockpile remains a threat, and there is no deal to dilute it or ship it out of the country. Iran will almost certainly leave the war with more control, either implicitly or explicitly, over the Strait of Hormuz than it enjoyed before the conflict, including knowing that it could again shutter the waterway and inflict global economic pain.
&lt;p&gt;Trump wants the war to end. He wants a deal. But deals take two parties, and there's no evidence that Iran is interested in bailing Trump out of a dilemma of his own making.</wordzilla:extended>

      <title>Israeli Soldier Destroys Jesus Statue in Lebanon</title>
      <link>https://drudge.com/news/291517/israeli-soldier-destroys-jesus-statue</link>
      <wordzilla:destination>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/20/israel-soldier-jesus-statue-sledgehammer-lebanon</wordzilla:destination>
      <description>The Israeli army has said it is investigating a soldier who was seen apparently striking a statue of Jesus with a sledgehammer in southern Lebanon. The Israel Defense Forces said they had determined that an image circulating on social media showing the incident was authentic. The image appears to show an Israeli soldier using a sledgehammer to strike the head of a statue of a crucified Jesus that had fallen off a cross. The sculpture is located in Debl, a Christian village in south Lebanon near the border with Israel.</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>Israel's army said in a post on its official X account on Monday that it viewed the incident with &quot;great severity&quot; and that the &quot;soldier's conduct is wholly inconsistent with the values expected of its troops&quot;.</wordzilla:extended>
