Biden's Decision on Drone Attack Retaliation
President Biden has announced that he has made a decision on how to respond to a drone attack in Jordan that killed three U.S. soldiers and injured over 30 service members. The attack targeted barracks on a U.S. military installation in Jordan, and a militant group called the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility. President Biden has vowed to hold all those responsible accountable and has been asked if he holds Iran responsible for the attack. This incident marks the first U.S. deaths by Iranian-backed militant groups since the Israel-Hamas War.
Potential New Hostage Deal between Israel and Hamas
Israel's war cabinet has reportedly discussed a potential new hostage deal with Hamas, but it has not yet been voted on. The last ceasefire deal required approval from the security cabinet and the full government, and future agreements are expected to go through the same process. Hamas is demanding a permanent ceasefire, while Israel has stated that any pause given in exchange for prisoners would only be temporary. The proposal includes a 60-day pause in hostilities and the release of civilian hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Meanwhile, undercover Israeli forces raided a West Bank hospital used as a base by militants planning terror attacks.
