Today’s Headlines: Hamas is proposing a three-stage ceasefire deal with Israel in Qatar, involving the release of Israeli hostages over four months, humanitarian aid, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu rejected the proposal, calling it "delusional" and vowing to achieve a "complete victory" over Hamas. Israel plans to extend its military campaign into the southern Gaza strip despite opposition. Back home, the Pentagon confirmed a successful drone strike targeting a Kata'ib Hezbollah commander in Iraq. President Biden's administration introduced stricter EPA standards to combat soot pollution, aiming to improve public health. The Supreme Court is deliberating whether Donald Trump can run in primaries under the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. In Congress, the Senate rejected a border security bill, leaving aid packages for Ukraine, Israel, and Gaza uncertain. House Republicans plan another impeachment vote for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Additionally, a special election to replace George Santos's Long Island seat is forthcoming. These developments highlight the dynamic nature of American governance and its impact on various policy areas.
