"Challenges and Choices: Navigating Haiti's Ongoing Turmoil"

Gang violence escalates in Haiti as a police operation kills gang leader Ernst Julme, while political groups move closer to finalizing a transition council to take over from the absent government. The council, intended to unite Haiti's fractured political class, is tasked with appointing a replacement to Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who resigned due to gang violence. As the council nears completion, heavy gunfire is heard near the National Palace, and the state's absence during the violence prompts international bodies and embassies to evacuate staff and foreigners. Plans for an international security mission remain on hold, while the US and Canada organize the departure of their citizens from Haiti.

"Netanyahu Vows to Continue Offensive Against Hamas, Including in Rafah"

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will continue its offensive against Hamas, including in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, despite increasing international pressure to cease. Netanyahu emphasized the need to stand together against attempts to halt the war and push back against the blame placed on Israel for Hamas' actions. He affirmed that Israel would operate throughout Gaza, including Rafah, which he referred to as the last Hamas stronghold, and asserted that refusing to act in Rafah would equate to losing the war.
