News in :90 – Sept. 22, 2025

Israeli forces showed no signs of relenting on their new ground offensive in Gaza City on Monday as world leaders gathered in New York for the United Nations General Assembly and more countries prepared to join the surge of nations recognizing a Palestinian state.

Hundreds of thousands have remained in the city, the territory’s largest and already in ruins from nearly two years of war and struggling with famine. The Israeli military ordered the evacuation on Monday of the Jordanian Hospital, a key health clinic, a Palestinian health official said.

Many have been attempting to relocate from the city, where 1 million people once lived, to the southern Gaza Strip, following Israeli military calls for a full evacuation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that Moscow will adhere to nuclear arms limits for one more year under the last remaining nuclear pact with the United States that expires in February, and he urged Washington to follow suit.

Putin declared that the termination of the 2010 New START would be destabilizing and could fuel proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Arms control advocates long have voiced concern about the treaty’s looming expiration and warned that it could fuel a new round of nuclear arms race and increase the risk of a nuclear conflict.

Forgent Power Solutions, Inc. (“Forgent” or the “Company”), a leading designer and manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment, today announced the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Dayton, MN. 

The new Dayton facility will produce power skids, e-houses, medium-voltage switchgear and other electrical distribution products. The facility was operationalized in less than six months, underscoring Forgent’s commitment to meeting the rapidly evolving needs of its customers. 

In connection with the expansion, the company expects to add several hundred new jobs over the next few years, growing Forgent’s Minnesota workforce and contributing to the state’s reputation as an emerging hub for advanced manufacturing.
