Summary

TOP NEWS | On today’s Daily Signal Top News, we break down: The House of Representatives passed a nearly $14.5 billion aid package for Israel on Thursday evening. In related news, Israel is not in favor of Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s calls for a “humanitarian pause” in Gaza. The terrorist organization Hezbollah has applauded the October 7 attack against Israel, which killed more than 1,400 Israeli citizens, and labeled it as “heroic.” An investigation is underway to examine whether New York City Mayor Eric Adams received illegal foreign donations in his 2021 Mayoral campaign. The House approved a resolution Thursday evening that aims at “condemning the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education, which may lead to the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff,” according to the resolution’s text.
