Today’s Headlines: Out of Israel and Gaza today, the IDF rescued two hostages in Rafah, Gaza, while conducting heavy strikes that reportedly killed nearly 70 Gazans. President Biden, alongside Jordan’s King Abdullah, emphasized the need to protect over a million Palestinians in Rafah amid Israel's offensive. The Egyptian government threatened to void the Camp David Accords if the IDF invades Rafah while Netanyahu insists on sending ground troops to defeat Hamas. The IDF also discovered a tunnel network under UNRWA's headquarters in Gaza, suggesting it was used for intelligence purposes by Hamas. Back on the coup beat, Donald Trump has filed a request with the Supreme Court to overturn a ruling by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, which determined he is not immune from prosecution for election interference. In addition, Trump and his immigration advisor, Stephen Miller, are planning a potential future presidency with promises of the "largest domestic deportation operation in history," aiming to mobilize a private red-state army for mass deportations. In a separate development, a major special election is underway in New York's 3rd district to replace former Representative George Santos, with Democrat Tom Suozzi facing off against Republican Mazi Pilip amidst challenging weather conditions. Despite the storm, polling locations remain open, and both candidates offer assistance to voters needing transportation to the polls.
