❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸🎞 Israeli-Palestinian conflict chronicles: November 14-15, 2023
▪️The Israel Defense Forces continue to gain a foothold along the coast of the Gaza Strip. The Israelis reported taking full control of the al-Shati refugee camp. Hamas militants were pushed back deep into Gaza despite desperate resistance.
▪️ The Israelis continue not only to expand the zone of control in the coastal area, but also to form an operational corridor in the south-eastern direction. Objective monitoring has confirmed the storming of Al-Shifa Hospital, which resulted in the arrest of several hundred Palestinians.
▪️ In addition, the day before, Israeli forces advanced towards Al-Wafa Hospital, which is east of current IDF positions. These actions indicate the beginning of multidirectional sorties deep into Gaza after the encirclement of the city.
▪️ There is also fighting in the Beit Hanoun area and west of Beit Lahiya. However, the IDF is in no hurry to advance in this direction. This may be due to the lack of confirmed targets of military and media importance.
▪️ To the south, Yemeni Houthis launched several ballistic missiles at Eilat and the surrounding area. Air defense systems repelled the attack, shooting down the object over Israeli territory. There were no casualties.
▪️ In the West Bank, Israeli security forces continue mass detentions of Palestinians suspected of links to Hamas. IDF bulldozers destroy monuments and urban infrastructure in Tulkarm. Israeli activity is accompanied by clashes with Arab youths.
▪️ On Israel's northern border, Hezbollah and the Israeli army continue to exchange strikes. The Lebanese attack border posts with anti-tank missile systems. The IDF responds with artillery and air strikes on populated areas as well as forests and plantations where it suspects the presence of Hezbollah.

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. Seeking to reduce overall fatigue in the troops

🇺🇸 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 ...
