Summary

Tensions in the Middle East have reached a new high following a helicopter crash that killed the Iranian President and Foreign Minister last weekend. This paired with the devastating news that many hostages being held by Hamas were killed at the beginning of the conflict, despite many families holding out hope for months. To break down this week’s developments in the Middle East, FOX News Foreign Correspondent Alex Hogan discusses how she believes Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's death will impact the country and the region, where ceasefire and hostage negotiations currently stand in the Israel-Hamas War, and what she's seen reporting in the region. The number of migrants crossing the southern border fell significantly in the last few months, but the political fight hasn’t waned. The issue remains a top concern for many Americans and both parties are trying to convince voters they have solutions to the migrant crisis. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer tried to advance a long-stalled bipartisan agreement this week, but the measure failed to overcome a filibuster with opposition mounted from both parties. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram speculates as to why the vote was held and questions if there is a path forward to break the gridlock of immigration politics.
