President Joe Biden said on Monday that he is close to presenting a final proposal for a deal to release hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, but said he did not think Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was doing enough to secure an agreement.

Former President Donald Trump's campaign issued a statement Sunday from the Gold Star military families who invited him to Arlington National Cemetery on Aug. 26 to mark the 3rd anniversary of the Kabul airport bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members.

X was taken down in Brazil in the early hours of Saturday following a decision by Moraes after the platform missed a court-imposed deadline to name a legal representative in Brazil as required by local law.
