Israeli Troops Move Into Gaza City
Israel's military has pushed into Gaza City's center. This move comes amid its ongoing conflict with Hamas. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant confirmed this advance. He highlighted the coordination among different military branches.
Gaza City is crucial for Hamas's activity, according to Israel. The Israeli attack on October 7 targeted this area. The assault aimed to stop Hamas after they attacked Israeli areas. That attack caused around 1,400 deaths.
The Israeli army has attacked from the air and now on the ground. The ground assault began over ten days ago. The army is using tanks and other vehicles. These are to help soldiers on the ground. The focus is on Gaza City's northern region. Civilians have been told to leave the area.
The United Nations reports a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza. There is a big need for food and medicine for two million people. Israel has let some aid come in from Egypt. Yet, the United Nations says it's not enough.
Israel faces international pressure to stop its military actions. The United States and Arab countries have urged a stop. However, Israel's operations continue. The Health Ministry in Gaza reports over 10,000 deaths.
The United States and the European Union see Hamas as a terrorist group. Iran supports Hamas with training and money. Hamas keeps firing rockets into Israel.
Israel plans to control key parts of Gaza City. This includes Al-Shifa Hospital. Itamar Yaar, a former security official, mentioned this. He says it's just a matter of time before Israel takes over.
Looking ahead, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke about Gaza's future. He said Hamas cannot stay in charge. He talked about this in Tokyo at a G7 meeting. He believes the Palestinian people should lead Gaza.
Blinken does not want Gaza's size reduced. Israel may create a buffer zone to keep its borders secure.
Israel's James Cleverly agrees with Blinken.

Ukrainian forces have begun training and testing exoskeletons for battlefield use. Soldiers from the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade are using them in the Pokrovsk sector for both logistics and frontline operations. The goal is to reduce physical strain, especially when loading heavy artillery shells into howitzers without automatic loaders. Artillery crews can handle up to 1200 kg of ammunition per day, and early tests show that exoskeletons help them work faster and with less fatigue Above all, by improving the conditions for those soldiers on the front lines who handle such heavy loads, plus the stress of work.

🇺🇸 Blue Owl Capital just disclosed that investors tried to pull 40.7% of one fund and 21.9% of another in a single quarter, and both funds gave the same answer, you can only have 5% back, and everyone else waits in line.
This is a bank run, not a normal withdrawal.
Wall Street spent the last decade selling millions of investors on something called semi-liquid private credit, higher yields, steady income and the promise you could get your money back every quarter if you needed it. What they buried in the fine print was what happens when too many people try to leave at the same time.
Analysts who have covered private credit for decades say nothing on this scale has ever been reported before at any major private credit manager.
These funds do not hold stocks you can sell on a Tuesday afternoon, they hold private loans to mid sized companies that cannot be liquidated quickly without destroying the price for every investor still trapped inside.

🇺🇸 President Trump wants to switch to war economy in 2027 with massive increase in military spending and massive cuts to healthcare and other domestic agencies
Once a deficit hawk — he said in 2016 that he thought he could balance the budget in five years — Trump ended his first term with $7.8 trillion in added debt. His 2027 proposal is expected to give an update on 10-year deficit projections currently estimated at around $16 trillion.
The GOP's message for the Midterms will be focused on the "need" for a massive defense build up while the Democrats' message will be focused on affordability.
The fiscal 2027 budget will be the first time Trump puts his second-term governing agenda into one comprehensive document — with the numbers to back it up. The budget he released last year lacked detailed line-by-line spending targets and the economic assumptions necessary to project the long-term cost of his proposals.
Investors in US Treasuries will be looking to see if the debt and ...
