It is a brand new week after a long weekend from the 4th of July.
Taking you to the Middle East, Israel launched airstrikes Sunday on three ports and a power plant in Houthi-controlled Yemen in retaliation for missile attacks targeting Ben Gurion Airport and southern Israeli infrastructure. It was the first Israeli strike in Yemen in nearly a month. The Houthis say they will continue their assaults until the blockade on Gaza is lifted. Honorable?
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington for talks with President Trump amid renewed efforts to broker a Gaza ceasefire. Trump’s “final proposal” would see Israel withdraw to buffer zones in exchange for the release of hostages—but allows Israel to resume attacks after a 60-day truce. Why not a permanent ceasefire?
This is the third time Mr. Bibi has visited the United States since Mr. Trump took office last month. Just something to ponder.
Have a great week, Pals.
