⚒️ Progressives urge that America accept one million Gazan refugees. Due to the Israel-Hamas conflict, progressive members of Congress are pleading with the United States to accept one million refugees from Gaza. This request comes at a time when the immigration system in the United States is already overburdened and struggles to appropriately screen incoming migrants for ties to terrorism. [NY Post]

🤐 A judge orders Trump to keep quiet. Trump is not permitted to openly criticize the prosecution or the witnesses in the former president's trial for allegedly interfering with an election. Trump responded to what many believe to be a historically significant restriction on the rights of a presidential candidate by saying, "We'll appeal it, and we'll see. But it's really against the law. The NBC News

🧱 Iranians were detained at the border after being listed as terrorists. This month, two Iranians on the U.S. watch list for terrorism were apprehended while attempting to cross the southern border. Security and border officials are more worried now than they were before hostilities between Israel and Hamas broke out about the possibility of terrorist organizations smuggling agents across the border.

Was the alleged Hamas Baby Beheading Story refuted?

Here is what's going on: A journalist from Israel stated last week that the Israeli government had discovered the bodies of 40 newborns who had been killed by Palestinian terrorists, some of whom had been dismembered. Since then, there have been numerous contradictory reports concerning the atrocity, including the claimed beheadings.

Who's making the report: All three journalists—an Israeli, a French, and an unofficial government emergency responder—claim to have witnessed physical evidence of the beheadings. According to other media accounts, several government officials have confirmed the decapitated bodies.

Why some people have doubts: It was impossible for certain Israeli government representatives to confirm the beheadings. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) came under fire for claiming that a thorough investigation would be "disrespectful to the dead" The White House later stated that President Joe Biden simply heard hearsay, despite his claims to have seen images.

• It isn't refuted: No Israeli government source has deemed the beheadings or the slaughter as a whole to be fake, and no evidence has surfaced to refute them, despite the fact that these acts have led to mistrust.

• However, given what we already know about the conflict, such child abuse by Hamas is not unexpected. The terrorists have broadcast videos of young Jewish children they are holding captive and have targeted elementary schools and other places frequented by children in their attacks. Blood-stained pictures of children's mattresses and car seats have also surfaced.

More skepticism: When Israel released images of infants who had been slaughtered and burnt by Hamas, skeptics attempted to disprove the account by insinuating the images were the result of artificial intelligence. They are too specific to be fabricated, according to a university specialist.

WASHINGTON D.C

Jim Jordan's Role Could Shift GOP's Path

Here is what's going on: Today is voting day in the Republican-controlled House for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who has been nominated as speaker. This comes after the previous candidate, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), withdrew from the race due to a lack of backing.

• The time is running out: The speaker contest is becoming more urgent as lawmakers attempt to avert another government shutdown next month over spending differences.

Why it’s important: Jordan, who is backed by conservative Republicans, may alter how the House approaches a number of significant problems.

• Illegal migration: Jordan has been advocating for tighter border security, blaming President Joe Biden's initiatives for the rising levels of illegal immigration.

• Foreign support: If elected speaker, the politician promises to completely stop the supply of help to Ukraine. He has, however, advocated for funding Israel's fight against Palestinian terrorists.

• The Spending: Jordan wants to reduce federal spending on "woke" programs and reduce the national debt, despite the fact that his stance has been more moderate than some Republicans.

Jordan may have a chance: To be elected, he needs the backing of all but four Republicans, assuming that all House Democrats will vote against him. Although the exact number of holdouts is unknown, he has made great strides toward persuading some of them.

Will he fail the GOP? Jordan is well known for being at the forefront of investigations into how the federal government collaborated with Big Tech companies to restrict conservative perspectives. He has, however, voiced opposition to antitrust laws that would halt online filtering, which is expected to increase before the 2024 election.

• Zoom in: Jordan, who received significant financial support from Big Tech companies like Google, also thwarted bicameral antitrust and Section 230 reform initiatives.

Joe Biden will visit Israel on a high-stakes trip

Here is what's going on: The article discusses President Joe Biden's upcoming visit to Israel, where he aims to demonstrate support for Israel's efforts to eliminate Hamas while also seeking ways to alleviate humanitarian suffering in Gaza. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is engaged in discussions with Israeli officials to open Gaza to humanitarian aid and prevent civilian casualties.

The visit carries significant risks but also sends a message to other regional players, such as Iran and Hezbollah. The Biden administration is trying to strike a balance between supporting Israel's military operations and addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

It emphasizes the importance of delivering aid to Gaza while avoiding Hamas interference. The article highlights the pressure on President Biden to encourage restraint and discusses his close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The potential for a wider conflict and the engagement of American military assets are also addressed. Additionally, the article mentions efforts to establish a humanitarian corridor for civilians in Gaza and the Biden administration's engagement with strongman leaders in the region to prevent the conflict from spreading beyond Israel's borders.
