President Biden's Visit to Israel and the Hamas-Israel Conflict
President Joe Biden plans to visit Israel to address the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel. He aims to deter other regional players like Iran and its Hezbollah proxy in Lebanon from further involvement in the conflict. The United States and Israel are working on a plan to allow humanitarian aid to reach civilians in Gaza, where a deepening humanitarian crisis persists. Hamas claims to have taken hostages, including a 21-year-old French Israeli woman named Mia Shem, and is demanding their release.
Supreme Court Allows Biden Administration to Regulate Ghost Guns
The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Biden administration, allowing their regulations on ghost guns to remain in place while legal challenges unfold. Ghost guns are untraceable homemade weapons that can be purchased online. Biden's regulations aim to classify them as firearms, requiring the marking of serial numbers and record-keeping by sellers and manufacturers. The decision by the Supreme Court reinstates these regulations, despite certain regulations being paused by a lower court.
