Summary

Today’s Headlines: In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, negotiations are reportedly still underway for a potential deal to release Israeli hostages in exchange for a temporary pause in fighting. Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza has ceased functioning as a medical facility, with premature babies evacuated, and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claim the hospital was used as a military enclave, providing footage of a tunnel shaft. The IDF also presented security footage from October 7th showing two hostages inside Al-Shifa. In the United States, Congress is expected to vote on a military aid package for Israel, with Bernie Sanders and AOC calling for aid to be conditional on policy changes. Meanwhile, Houthi rebels in Yemen, backed by Iran, hijacked an Israeli-linked ship in the Red Sea, taking 25 crew members hostage, citing alleged connections to Israel. In a surprising development, Argentina elected far-right libertarian economist Javier Milei as president, defeating the center-left economy minister Sergio Massa. Finally, former First Lady Rosalyn Carter, wife of President Jimmy Carter, passed away at the age of 96, marking the end of the longest presidential marriage in U.S. history.
