Negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza ongoing
A deal is being negotiated to pause fighting in the Gaza Strip. Proposed by the US, Qatar, and Egypt, the basic framework calls for a six-week pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas. The deal also includes the release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel and the freeing of all remaining civilian hostages in Gaza. While most of the deal has been accepted in principle by Israel, Hamas is still considering it. However, many details still need to be worked out.
House Republicans move towards impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary
House Republicans have voted to advance their case against Alejandro Mayorkas to the full house. They argue that Mayorkas has failed to enforce US immigration policies at the southern border, resulting in a surge of migration. Democrats have defended Mayorkas, labeling the impeachment proceedings as politically motivated. Despite the unlikelihood of success, this impeachment attempt could serve as political messaging ahead of the 2024 election and a test run for targeting President Biden.
