Deep dives
US Pauses Weapons Shipments to Israel
President Biden announced that the US will not supply offensive weapons to Israel for use in attacks on Gaza, pausing a shipment of 4,500 bombs due to concerns about their use in densely populated areas. Despite this, the US will continue to provide Israel with rocket interceptors for defense, emphasizing support for Israel's security without enabling aggressive military actions. Critics, including former President Trump, criticized the decision, accusing Biden of supporting Hamas.
FTX's Repayment Plan Surprises
Cryptocurrency exchange FTX, once defunct, surprised by announcing it can repay 2 million customers and creditors with interest, following a recovery of $14.5 billion in missing assets. The court-appointed CEO's success was attributed to rising crypto prices, allowing for a repayment plan where claims below $50,000 would be settled at 118% of the owed amount, based on the asset value at the time of bankruptcy.
