Last Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court met to determine Trump’s presidential ballot eligibility following the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to disqualify the former president as a result of his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars an individual who swore to support the Constitution from holding federal or state office if they have engaged in insurrection. Trump’s legal team claims that this section of the Amendment does not apply to the President. Litigation to remove the former president from the presidential ballot is underway in twelve states but are all pending the U.S. Supreme Court's decision. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a ceasefire plan proposed by Hamas to end the war in Gaza. Netanyahu called the plan “delusional” and said that it would leave Hamas with power over the Gaza Strip.
