Deep dives
Ron DeSantis ends presidential campaign
Ron DeSantis has announced the end of his presidential campaign, citing a majority of Republican primary voters' preference for giving Donald Trump another chance. DeSantis struggled to connect with voters and gain Republican support, ultimately endorsing Trump. This development signals Trump's increasing likelihood of securing the 2024 Republican nomination. Meanwhile, a recent poll shows Trump leading over his remaining challenger, Nikki Haley.
Grim death toll in Gaza
The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 25,000 people, with over 62,000 individuals wounded since the recent war outbreak. Palestinian officials attribute the conflict to Hamas militants killing about 1,200 people in Israel, followed by Iranian-backed militants attacking a U.S. airbase in Iraq. Concerns about a wider regional conflict have escalated due to recurring incidents involving U.S. troops in the Middle East.
