Summary

Today’s Headlines: Israel is preparing for a series of retaliatory strikes from Iran over several days, with Prime Minister Netanyahu declaring a "multi-front war" with Iran and its allies. Despite ongoing rocket fire from Hezbollah and Hamas, ceasefire and hostage deal talks in Gaza continue. Meanwhile, the US and UK urge their citizens to leave Lebanon due to rising tensions. Reports suggest Donald Trump received $10 million from Egypt’s National Bank before his 2017 inauguration, possibly from President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi. Despite investigations, the case was dropped under Attorney General Bill Barr. During his presidency, Trump praised El-Sisi and released over a billion dollars in military aid to Egypt. Elon Musk’s America PAC is under fire for misleading voter registration ads targeting swing states, collecting personal information for pro-Trump canvassing efforts. The PAC has spent over $800,000 on these ads in the past month. The CDC is investigating a listeria outbreak linked to Boar’s Head deli meats, leading to 2 deaths and multiple hospitalizations. Over 7 million pounds of deli meats have been recalled. Listeria can survive in refrigerated conditions, making the recall especially concerning for products often eaten cold.
