Why Does the U.S. Support and Fund Israel So Much?
#Israel #Congress
Since WWII, the U.S. has provided more foreign aid to Israel than any other country, giving about $3.8 billion a year in economic and military aid. Given disagreement over the ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza, the future of this arrangement is now uncertain. Could vocal calls for pausing aid, mainly from the left wing of the Democratic Party like Sen Bernie Sanders, lead to a rejection of Biden’s security assistance package?
WSJ explores why Israel still receives so much aid from the U.S. and examines the current fight over conditional aid.

International News Today | Top Headlines From Across The Globe
A post-study visa route dominated by Indian graduates is helping the universities in the UK make up for financial losses on the domestic front and expanding the country's research landscape, a review commissioned by the British government concluded in its report on Tuesday.
The independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) had been tasked by UK Home Secretary James Cleverly to undertake a rapid review of the relatively new Graduate Route visa that allows international students to stay on for up to two years after their degree to look for work and gain work experience.
It found that Indian students lead the pack in this visa category, accounting for 89,200 visas between 2021 and 2023 or 42 per cent of the overall grants, and the visa was stated as the “overwhelming decision point” for their choice of a higher education destination.

Why The U.S. Can’t End Poverty
37.9 million Americans are currently living in poverty, accounting for 11.6% of the total population. That’s despite the fact that America ranks first as the richest nation in the world in terms of GDP. Poverty in the U.S. is not only a humanitarian crisis but an economic one as well. About 11% of the federal budget, or $665 billion goes to economic security programs every year. Child poverty alone is estimated to cost the U.S. over $1 trillion based on the latest research. So how did poverty become such a big issue in the U.S. and why is it so difficult to end it?

Israel's Sky Dew Falls Flat: Hezbollah Drone's Dramatic Downing of Israel's Largest Spy Balloon
#Hezbollah #IDF #SpyBalloon
Hezbollah carried out its deepest strike in Israel by targeting the Israeli Air Force's Sky Dew base near Golani Junction, about 35 kilometres from the Lebanon border. The Sky Dew, Israel’s largest spy balloon, acts as a detection radar for unmanned aircraft and missiles. Two explosive-laden Hezbollah drones were launched in the attack, with one being downed by air defenses and the other successfully hitting the facility. The extent of the damage to the balloon is still being assessed by the Israeli military. This attack is seen as a retaliation for recent Israeli strikes on southern Lebanese villages and civilian homes. Hezbollah has vowed to continue its operations as long as Israel's military campaign in Gaza persists.

Gun Battles on The Streets of Gaza
#israel #gaza #palestine
This footage shows both sides of the deadly street battles raging all over Gaza.
Israel Defense Forces released this video of its soldiers fighting on the streets of Jabaliya, in northern Gaza.
Meanwhile, Hamas’ military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, released this montage of its fighters a few miles to the south, near Gaza City. The footage shows militants staging attacks from inside Hamas’ tunnel network.
With access to Gaza heavily restricted, very few of these videos can be independently verified. But the footage suggests the war in Gaza may have become more ferocious in recent days. Their release may also indicate that both Israel and Hamas are intensifying their public relations campaigns.
Israel says a ceasefire at this point would allow Hamas to regroup and rearm, and points out that Hamas is still holding Israeli hostages.
But with the death toll continuing to rise, and the UN warning that half of Gaza may now be starving, it will become ever more difficult for Israel to resist the growing international pressure for another humanitarian pause.

Ukraine 24th Brigade raid Russian trench near Bakhmut in first-person footage
Ukraine’s 24th Brigade took over a Russian trench in Bohdanivka, near Bakhmut. First-person footage shows troops sneaking up on the Russian position. They are spotted, and an intense burst of gunfire breaks out. Ukraine’s men shoot back and succeed in pinning the Russians down. With the Russians suppressed, they are able to move up their attack. They use rifles and grenades to flush the Russian soldiers out. The attack is a success, and the Russian position is eventually captured. Putin’s men have been advancing around Bakhmut in recent weeks. Ukraine lacks the ammunition and manpower to hold all of the frontline. But the Russians aren’t having everything their way, and are taking losses.
