Although Jack Lew, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, told the American Jewish community in a briefing on Monday that he cannot confirm whether Mohammed Deif was killed in an Israeli strike, there are “indications” that the Hamas leader is dead.

In the call, the U.S. envoy also said that he hopes that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, scheduled for July 24, will be bipartisan.

U.S. President Joe Biden has reportedly invited Netanyahu to the White House—something he hasn’t offered the Israeli leader since the latter was elected in December 2022.

“Missouri stands with Israel and its people and we want to make sure that the world understands that,” the governor said while signing the bill.
“Academic freedom does not include platforming terrorists,” the LawFare Project stated, calling the event “institutional normalization of terrorism.”
Kimberly Richey, assistant secretary for civil rights at the U.S. Department of Education, stated that “no child should be taught by his or her teachers to hate their peers.”
After online radicalization, the man made two attempts to fly to Somalia to support ISIS, according to prosecutors.
The assessment calls for the return of Palestinian Authority governance and efforts to “advance a durable political settlement based on the two-state solution.”
