comes amid a debate over funding
as the government faces a looming shutdown.

A growing number of Conservatives have questioned
the billions of dollars already spent on military,
economic and humanitarian aid for Ukraine.
Reuters reports that the U.S. has already sent
approximately $113 billion in aid since
the invasion began in February 2022.
The Biden administration has claimed that
if Russia is allowed to take control of Ukraine,
the cost to the U.S. will be much higher.
However, Republicans are not convinced,
with Senator J.D.
Vance stating that the U.S. , "is being asked to fund an indefinite conflict
with unlimited resources.
Enough is enough.".

Hamas criticised US President Joe Biden on Sunday for linking a Gaza cease-fire to the release of Israelis held captive by the Palestinian group. Biden stated on Saturday that a cease-fire in Gaza could occur as soon as “tomorrow” if Hamas released Israelis in its custody. Hamas deemed this stance as a step backward from the outcomes of previous negotiations. They noted that their approval of a proposal, facilitated by mediators from Egypt and Qatar, had been done with the knowledge of the United States.

US President Joe Biden has directly offered a ceasefire to Hamas, stressing that the decision now lies with the group. Biden indicates that the ceasefire could be implemented as early as tomorrow if Hamas releases its hostages. Additionally, Biden extends an offer to Israel, providing valuable intelligence on Hamas leaders' whereabouts if Israel refrains from a major operation in Rafah. The US also pledges assistance to Israel in erecting large shelters for Palestinians evacuated from Rafah. However, Biden issues a warning to Israel, stating that the supply of artillery shells and weapons could be halted if it proceeds with an attack on Rafah. Despite multiple rounds of indirect negotiations, Hamas and Israel have yet to reach a ceasefire agreement.
