Good evening. I'm Laura Barone Lopez. John Yang is away. Tonight there is

turmoil within Israel's government. Benny Gantz, a centrist in Benjamin

Netanyahu's war cabinet, is threatening to quit if the government does not adopt a new plan

for the war in Gaza by June 8th. It comes as a ceasefire deal remains elusive and

no new hostages have been released since November.

And earlier today, Israeli airstrikes

fell in northern Gaza, toppling buildings in Jabalia,

the largest of Gaza's refugee camps, killing 15 and wounding dozens more.

Meanwhile National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan is in Saudi Arabia tonight

to discuss the war with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

He travels to Israel tomorrow.

Back here at home, deadly storms that killed seven people this week

in the Houston area have moved on but a new threat remains

dangerous heat. Temperatures are expected to go above 90 degrees and in

many places including Houston it will feel above a hundred.

The heat and humidity throughout the weekend could be dangerous for the nearly half a million

homes and businesses in the state of Texas that remain without power.

President Biden issued a disaster declaration to make federal assistance available.

Officials say repairs could take weeks.

Temperatures are soaring in other parts of the world too.

India is sweltered today with temperatures above 110 degrees.

Even in the middle of its summer months, that's hotter than normal.
