Mediators and Hamas delegates are in Egypt working on a ceasefire deal with Israel. Israel has accepted a six-week ceasefire that includes releasing hostages and Palestinian prisoners, delaying military actions, but requires proof of life for hostages, a demand Hamas has rejected. The pressure for a truce is mounting due to humanitarian crises in Gaza and airdrops of food by the U.S. military. Negotiators aim to finalize the agreement soon.

COVID hospitalizations and deaths have significantly dropped compared to previous peaks. CDC recommends a vaccine update in the fall, with seniors encouraged to get an additional booster now. Alcohol-related deaths surged during the pandemic, highlighting pandemic-related stress and isolation. Legal battles include FDA certification for CVS and Walgreens to sell abortion pills, and a bill in Alabama providing immunity for IVF embryos affecting medical practices and relationships.
