**Citadel and Citadel Securities Hire Record 350+ Interns for 2025, Accepting Just 0.36% of Applicants**

Ken Griffin’s firms are doubling down on entry-level talent, welcoming their largest-ever global intern class of over 350 students this summer.

Apple has unveiled Siri AI, a revolutionary update powered by Apple Intelligence, but EU users face a major setback. Due to the Digital Markets Act (DMA), Siri AI won’t be available on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 in the European Union, as regulators rejected Apple’s proposed safety solutions. This means no advanced features like Visual Intelligence or the new Siri app for EU iPhone and iPad users, with no launch timeline in sight. Apple continues to negotiate with EU regulators, but privacy and security concerns remain unresolved.

This week’s mounting international censure, including France’s ban on a senior Israeli minister and new sanctions on settler networks by six Western states, has done little to slow Israel’s West Bank expansion. The Israeli cabinet has advanced $388 million in settlement funding, moved to legalize violent outposts, and, for the first time in three decades, established a permanent military base inside Area A—territory meant for full Palestinian control. Meanwhile, Amnesty International has accused Israel of a „state-sponsored” ethnic cleansing campaign, as settler violence escalates to six attacks daily and displacement reaches levels unseen since 1967. This growing entrenchment, marked by nightly raids, water sabotage, and the erosion of Oslo Accords divisions, signals a deepening crisis that international actions have yet to deter.

**New SBA Policy Blocks Green Card Holders from Small Business Loans, Impacting Immigrant Entrepreneurs**

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has quietly implemented a policy change, blocking small business loans to companies not fully owned by U.S. citizens for the first time in its history. This move, part of the Trump administration’s broader immigration restrictions, disqualifies lawful permanent residents like green card holders from accessing SBA funding. Owner Sayuri Tsuchitani, who used a pandemic-era SBA loan to launch a successful Japanese head spa chain, would now be ineligible despite her 28 years as a permanent resident. The policy shift raises concerns about stifling immigrant entrepreneurship, which accounts for 20-25% of U.S. businesses and a significant share of job creation.
