Today’s Headlines: A hostage deal, delayed by cross-allegations, successfully unfolded over the weekend. Hamas released 58 hostages, including a 4-year-old American, while Israel released over 100 Palestinians. The truce is set to end today, but extensions could see the daily release of 10 hostages. In the West Bank, two Palestinians accused of collaboration were killed by the Tulkarm Brigades, warning others to come forward by December 5th to avoid a similar fate. The Israeli military remains committed to operations until Hamas is eradicated. In Burlington, Vermont, a potentially hate-motivated shooting occurred, targeting three Palestinian college students who were shot multiple times by an unidentified white male while walking downtown wearing kaffiyehs. The victims, students from Brown University, Haverford College, and Trinity College, had gathered in Burlington to celebrate Thanksgiving and remain in serious condition. The shooter fled the scene, and police are actively investigating. In other news, Congress is gearing up for a vote on the potential expulsion of Representative George Santos, following a scathing House Ethics Committee report revealing his misuse of campaign funds for personal expenses. Additionally, major egg producers were found guilty of conspiring to limit the U.S. egg supply between 2004 and 2008, raising prices, while a far-right party led by Geert Wilders secured a surprising victory in Dutch parliamentary elections. On a lighter note, U.S. consumers set a new online spending record for Black Friday, reaching $9.8 billion, marking a 7.5% increase from the previous year.
