Israel rejects Trump’s Gaza plan, more details emerge on the Strait of Hormuz

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the deal on Gaza announced by Trump last month, saying Israel’s military “will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed.” Netanyahu told a Cabinet meeting that “Israel rejects the 15-point document” but is still discussing plans for Gaza with Washington, after making similar comments last week. Trump had said Israeli forces would withdraw as the Hamas militant group’s disarmament is completed. There was no immediate White House comment on Netanyahu’s statement.

Trump’s immigration crackdown looms over Minnesota’s bruising Senate primary
|
Minnesota’s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday features establishment-backed U.S. Rep. Angie Craig and the more progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan. The immigration debate is an added schism in a race that otherwise echoes many of the other left-versus-center divides that have played out across the United States this year. Read more.

Craig voted for tighter enforcement soon after President Donald Trump returned to office last year, only to later express regret for her decision after the Republican president sent a surge of agents into Minneapolis. Those votes may turn out to be some of the most fraught of Craig’s eight-year career in Congress, decisions that Flanagan has highlighted while trying to portray her rival as unwilling to fight an unpopular administration in Washington.
Craig flipped a Republican-held seat in 2018, and every two years she overcame millions of dollars of attack ads to win tough reelection campaigns. Until Craig’s Senate run, the heat came from the right. Newly under fire from the other side, the decisions she made as a swing-seat congresswoman have become a liability as a statewide Senate candidate.
