Today’s Headlines: In recent updates, Israel and Hamas agreed to a two-day extension of their truce, releasing 10 hostages daily, with a fourth group of 11 Israeli hostages already freed. Israel is reportedly releasing 33 Palestinian teenagers under the same terms and allowing more aid trucks into Gaza. The extension was announced by the Qatari Foreign Ministry, mediating with input from Egypt and the U.S. Gaza faces a dire situation with three-quarters displaced, half in UN shelters, and a death toll exceeding 14,000, including many teenagers and children. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's visit to Israel follows Twitter controversy, losing major advertisers. During his tour near the Gaza border with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Musk expressed a commitment to help rebuild Gaza. In Vermont, Jason J. Eaton, the man who shot three Palestinian college students, was arrested on three counts of attempted murder. He pleaded not guilty, and the DOJ is investigating it as a potential hate crime. Lastly, Sunday marked the busiest day in U.S. airport history, with the TSA screening over 2.9 million travelers, setting a new record.
