The Israeli military said it had not agreed to a ceasefire and would continue its operations outside of localized humanitarian pauses. Patel said those fleeing their homes should have the ability to return, but said Washington does not have control or jurisdiction over the areas in question. "Those now in the south must have every ability to return to the north when that is safe to do." Hamas gunmen from Gaza burst through the border to Israel on Oct. 7 and killed 1,400 people, Israel says. Since then, more than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in a relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip - home to 2.3 million - by Israeli forces, say Palestinian health officials in Gaza.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday the number of civilians killed in Gaza showed there was something "clearly wrong" with Israel's military operations. He also said there was room for Israel's military to improve in its public explanations about its conduct, and that he had raised this with his Israeli counterpart. ISRAEL BRACES FOR LONG, TOUGH WARIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Israelis the country is in a "tough war" that will also be long. Brown stopped short of advocating for a short campaign or offering his view of how long Israel's Gaza operation should last.

The passage of an abortion rights constitutional amendment in Ohio, and Virginia Democrats' capture of both legislative chambers after abortion-focused campaigns, showed that Republicans' long campaign to end abortion rights has become a liability ahead of the 2024 elections, strategists from both parties said. "Republicans have to stop pushing policies that make people believe they are trying to ban abortion. SEEKING A MIDDLE PATHThis year, Virginia Republicans, led by Governor Glenn Youngkin, leaned hard into plans for a 15-week abortion ban should they win control of the legislature. MAJORITY OF AMERICANS AGAINST ABORTION BANSOpinion polls show the majority of Americans support legal abortion in all or most cases. Abortion rights could also appear directly on 2024 ballots in states including Arizona and Florida, as they did in Ohio on Tuesday.

National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy testifies during a Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee hearing titled "Improving Rail Safety in Response to the East Palestine Derailment" in Washington, U.S., March 22, 2023. REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 8 (Reuters) - National Transportation Safety Board chair Jennifer Homendy will tell a U.S. Senate subcommittee that an increase in near miss aviation incidents is a "clear warning sign that the U.S. Aviation system is sharply strained." Homendy, who will testify at a Senate Commerce aviation subcommittee hearing along side the Federal Aviation Administration and aviation unions, will tell senators the aviation system has a lack of redundancy around technology to prevent runway incursions and wrong surface landings. "We cannot ignore or avoid the warning signs of strain from all these recent events," Homendy will say.

Many organisers choose to buy that cover through an add-on political violence and terrorism policy. Insurers cannot change policy wordings of existing policies, so any event organisers who bought political violence cover and cancelled after the conflict started on Oct 7 should be covered. Insurers are also considering restricting cover for event cancellations outside the region, the sources added. Ryan at Marsh said some political violence insurers were proposing wordings which would allow them to break or review policies due to "conditions relating to armed involvement in the 2023 Israel war". Specialist political violence policies are typically offered by firms operating in the Lloyd's of London (SOLYD.UL) insurance market, as well as by U.S. insurers.

"You can't go around not seeing that footage somewhere because they kept showing it in a loop," said her mother, Ayelet Levy Shachar, occasionally fighting back tears. "I try to keep my thoughts on her coming back and how she comes back to me," said Levy Shachar, who said she talks to her daughter continuously in her mind, imagining her situation, perhaps held in one of the web of tunnels built by Hamas that run beneath Gaza. "Look at the films that are out there," said Levy Shachar, referring to the footage of the attack that floods social media. Only four hostages have so far been released while another one was rescued by Israeli troops. Levy Shachar said she occasionally attends rallies to call for the hostages to be brought back but mostly she just thinks of her daughter.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attends a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden (not pictured) and the Israeli war cabinet, during Biden's visit to Israel, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, in Tel Aviv, Israel, October 18, 2023. But after public backlash, Netanyahu posted on X that Hamas started a war "because it wants to kill us all and not because of any argument within us." Earlier, Benny Gantz, who joined Netanyahu's war cabinet from the opposition as part of an emergency government, said Netanyahu must retract his comment. in a public display of anger at the failures that led to last month's deadly attack by Hamas gunmen on Israeli communities around the Gaza Strip. The protest, which coincided with a poll showing more than three quarters of Israelis believe Netanyahu should resign, underlined the growing public fury at their political and security leaders.

☆ Is ‘Trump Too Small’ Entitled to a Registered Trademark?

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments on First Amendment issues. Photo: Evelyn Hockstein/ReutersWASHINGTON—Donald Trump looms large over the Supreme Court’s arguments this week, but not for any of the criminal cases or civil suits pending against the former president. Instead, Wednesday will see the justices consider a slightly smaller controversy: Does the First Amendment entitle a political slogan —“Trump too small”— featured on T-shirts sold by an anti-MAGA attorney to trademark registration? The trademark case follows Tuesday’s arguments in another free-speech dispute trail-blazed by Trump, who as president prompted lawsuits after blocking critics from following him on the microblogging site then known as Twitter. Trump left office before the Supreme Court could rule on whose rights took priority: those of a politician to police his followers or of a citizen to follow and comment on a public official.

UAW President Shawn Fain warned of a more combative union heading into the talks, but not many, if anyone, expected the union to strategically outmaneuver the companies like it did, leading to record deals for 146,000 UAW members with GM, Ford Motor and Stellantis . UAW members must still vote to ratify the tentative agreements. 1, of course, are the UAW members," said Art Wheaton, a labor professor at The Worker Institute at Cornell University. Some winners, some losers: UAW membersBroadly speaking, the UAW members covered by the new deals are winners, however not everyone faced the financial toll of the union's strikes against the Detroit automakers. They may also be targets of increased organizing efforts by members seeking better wages like those for UAW members.

The Authority of Law statue is seen outside the U.S. Supreme Court at the start of the new term in Washington, U.S., October 2, 2023. The Supreme Court is tasked with deciding whether the public officials engaged in a "state action" in blocking critics from social media accounts or were merely acting in their personal capacity. The justices also are due to decide other important cases involving speech on social media during their current nine-month term. One involves a challenge to Republican-backed state laws limiting the ability of social media platforms to remove or moderate content deemed objectionable or misinformation. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed, ruling that Zane and O'Connor-Ratcliff had presented their social media accounts as "channels of communication with the public" about school board business.

Blocking users is a function often employed on social media to stifle critics. The justices, hearing about three hours of arguments, focused on spelling out the circumstances for deciding whether public officials were acting in their personal capacity when blocking critics or engaged in a "state action." Conservative Justice Samuel Alito cited a hypothetical town manager who puts a municipal seal on his own social media page and tells citizens to express their views. Under this test, Mooppan argued, the social media activity of his clients was not governmental. Some justices asked whether requiring public officials to include disclaimers on their personal pages making clear their social media activity is not governmental would help disentangle their private and public capacities.
