Aristide Finds Refuge in South Africa After Ouster
Ousted Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide and his wife Milred, with children and guards, arrive in Pretoria aboard a South African jet. President Thabo Mbeki welcomes them as South Africa offers temporary exile housing at government expense while Haiti seeks a peaceful path to democracy. Aristide vows to return, insisting he remains Haiti’s elected leader, a claim disputed by Washington.

Israeli Supreme Court Hears Jewish Conversion Citizenship Case
Israel's Supreme Court ruled that foreigners who convert to Judaism in Israel could be eligible for citizenship but left the final decision to the interior minister. The panel did not resolve whether non Orthodox conversions are valid, maintaining the current Orthodoxy requirement for citizenship eligibility. Interior Minister Avraham Poraz said he would consider cases openly and engage with a broad population seeking conversion.
