Summary

Today’s Headlines: This week's diplomatic efforts in Gaza see Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Saudi Arabia for ceasefire and hostage negotiations, with President Biden cautioning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against escalating assaults on Rafah. The Israeli military's call-up of reserve soldiers indicates rising tensions. Meanwhile, over 800 arrests of pro-Palestinian student protesters occurred on college campuses, highlighting the pressure to oppose America's support of Israel's Gaza operation. This has led to the House voting on the Antisemitism Awareness Act, defining antisemitism per the Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's guidelines. Additionally, severe weather hit Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Texas, with over 100 tornadoes causing fatalities and extensive damage. Finally, Donald Trump met with Ron DeSantis reportedly to raise money for the November election, hinting at DeSantis's presidential aspirations.
