Israel sees largest anti-government protest since Hamas war began
JERUSALEM — Tens of thousands of Israelis staged the largest anti-government protest since the country went to war with Hamas in October on Sunday.Protesters in central Jerusalem urged the government to reach a ceasefire deal to free dozens of hostages held in Gaza by Palestinian militants and to hold early elections.Israeli society was broadly united immediately after 7 October, when Hamas killed some 1,200 people during a cross-border attack and took 250 others hostage.Nearly six months of conflict have renewed divisions over the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however.Netanyahu has vowed to destroy Hamas and bring all the hostages home, yet those goals have been elusive. While Hamas has suffered heavy losses, it remains intact.Roughly half the hostages in Gaza were...

Mike Johnson sounds out key Republicans with speakership and Ukraine aid on line
WASHINGTON — Days after his speakership was put on notice by a far-right member, Mike Johnson strategized with a key – and perhaps surprising – source: firebrand GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, the architect of the last effort to remove a speaker.Gaetz, who is making clear he is firmly in Johnson’s corner, counseled the rookie speaker during a recent phone call to put some conservative wins on the board over the next few weeks as he navigates the threat of a potential motion to vacate the speaker’s chair, according to sources familiar with the conversation.“I gave the speaker some unsolicited advice. That we’ve got to get into a fighting posture. And I was very pleased with how the speaker received that advice,” Gaetz confirmed in an interview with CNN. ”The speaker wants...
