President Biden on Thursday endorsed an Egypt-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas—while vowing the US would help rebuild Gaza and restock Israel’s missile defense system. Biden condemned the militant group Hamas and said he spoke six times during the two-week conflict with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—two times more than was publicly known.(Snip)
Biden also said the US would help replenish Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, which shot down many rockets fired from Gaza. “I extend my sincere gratitude to President el-Sisi and the senior Egyptian officials who plays such a critical role in this diplomacy,” Biden said.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday spoke to Jordanian King Abdullah II on behalf of President Biden to brief him on US efforts to support a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. Biden has not spoken with the Arab nation’s leader since Hamas began firing rockets last week from Gaza into Israel following clashes in Jerusalem. “I spoke with Jordan King Abdullah II to reaffirm our support and express our commitment to continued close cooperation,” Harris wrote on Twitter. “I briefed him on our intensive diplomatic efforts to support the path to a ceasefire in Gaza. The U.S. and Jordan will continue working to deescalate tensions.”

Tennessee lawmakers have accused President Joe Biden's administration of secretly flying migrant children into their state without consulting them–as Kamala Harris faces growing pressure to visit the southern border to address the crisis. Several videos obtained by WRCB-TV Channel 3 show a handful of planes carrying minor migrants arriving at Chattanooga's Wilson Air Center during overnight hours. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn said in a statement the transportation of migrants there is taking place in 'the dead of night without the knowledge or permission of the communities involved.'
A source with direct knowledge of the operation revealed somewhere up to 50 minors are transported

With much of New York allowed to fully reopen for business Wednesday—and relaxed CDC rules for vaccinated people at indoor venues going into effect—residents may soon find themselves having to provide proof of inoculation or a negative COVID-19 test to gain entry to events or businesses. While many other states have balked at the idea of so-called “vaccine passports,” the Empire State has already rolled out a platform called the Excelsior Pass that’s being used at big events here, like Yankees and Knicks games.(Snip) Businesses and venues requiring proof of vaccination or negative test results can scan and validate the QR code

Jill Biden said Kamala Harris should “go [expletive]” herself after famously questioning her husband’s record on race during a Democratic primary debate, according to new report. The future first lady fumed to supporters after Harris, who is now President Biden’s vice president, slammed his record opposing federally mandated interracial busing to desegregate schools.
“That little girl was me!” Harris told Biden in one of the most cutting moments of the Democratic primary. Jill Biden vented one week later on a group phone call with supporters, according to an account published by Politico. “With what he cares about, what he fights for, what he’s committed to,
