Israel-Hamas war cease-fire, hostage talks will continue after weekend meetings didn’t resolve gaps
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the talks, said lower level “working teams” will remain in Cairo to meet with mediators the United States, Qatar, and Egypt in hopes to addressing remaining disagreements. The official called the recent conversations, which began Thursday in Cairo and continued through Sunday, as “constructive” and said all parties were working to “reach a final and implementable agreement.”
The talks included CIA director William Burns and David Barnea, the head of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency. A Hamas delegation was briefed by Egyptian and Qatari mediators but did not directly take part in negotiations.

Navajo, Arizona attorney general question safety of newly reopened uranium mine
Last year, on a remote stretch of northern Arizona forest, President Biden designated the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni—Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument.
“From time immemorial, more than a dozen tribal nations have lived, gathered, prayed on these lands,” Biden said as he addressed an enthusiastic crowd of tribal leaders, members of Congress, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and advocates.
The monument designation permanently banned new uranium mining claims on nearly a million acres adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park and blocks what could have been hundreds of new operations in an area that is culturally significant to the Havasupai, Hopi, Navajo and others.
Hurricane Hone sweeps past Hawaii, dumping enough rain to ease wildfire fears
Meanwhile, the eastern Pacific saw a new threat emerge as Tropical Storm Hector formed, packing top sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph). There were no coastal watches or warnings in effect as Hector churned far out at sea, the National Hurricane Center said.
Hone (pronounced hoe-NEH) had top winds of 85 mph (140 kph) Sunday morning as it swirled slowly past the Big Island, centered about 45 miles (72 kilometers) off its southernmost point, according to Jon Jelsema, a senior forecaster at the Central Pacific Hurricane Center. He said tropical storm force winds were blowing across the island’s southeast-facing slopes, carrying up to a foot (30 centimeters) or more of rain.
This is my political home’: how 30 ceasefire delegates changed the Democratic convention
Asma Mohammed organized the uncommitted movement in Minnesota because she “was seeing children who look like my son be massacred”.
June Rose, an uncommitted delegate from Rhode Island, joined the cause because they were raised as an orthodox Jew, kept away from Palestinians and taught that the occupation of Palestine was for their safety. Then Rose went to Palestine. “And I realized that not one single child needs to die in order to keep me safe,” they said.
Unusual La Niña may be forming in the Atlantic: ‘almost unprecedented’
As we await the arrival of La Niña in the Pacific, there may be one already brewing in the Atlantic.
Researchers still need to collect temperature data throughout August to determine if a La Niña has in fact formed over the equator in the Atlantic Ocean, but this summer has already been unusual, said Franz Philip Tuchen, a postdoctoral associate with the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies.
The year started with record high sea surface temperatures, topping 86 degrees, before quickly and dramatically cooling off. This type of whiplash is more dramatic than any year before, Tuchen recently wrote.
“It’s almost unprecedented in the time series that we have, and that’s longer than 40 years,” he told Nexstar.
If the Atlantic sea surface temperatures stay where they were around June and July, it’ll officially constitute a La Niña in the Atlantic.
Maryland Cop Convicted Of Throwing Smoke Bomb At Capitol Police On Jan. 6
A Maryland police officer was found guilty Friday of civil disorder, assaulting police and other charges after he threw a smoke bomb at officers during the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack.
Justin Lee, 26, took a smoke bomb from another rioter, pulled the pin, and threw it in the direction of Capitol police stationed in a tunnel that connects to the Capitol.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden heard two days of trial testimony before finding Lee guilty of two felonies and three misdemeanors. During his testimony, Lee told McFadden he was “trying to make a statement” about police brutality when he threw the smoke bomb.
McFadden said he believed Lee went to the Capitol that day to disrupt Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
Attacks by Israel, Hezbollah could fuel Mideast war. Or could they ease tensions?
Iran-backed Hezbollah militants and the Israeli military traded massive aerial attacks Sunday as violence along the Israeli-Lebanese border reached ominous new heights.
The attacks came as negotiators met in Cairo for talks aimed at reaching a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas, also backed by Iran, amid global concerns the war in Gaza could expand into Lebanon and explode across the region.
Israel and Hezbollah, however, indicated they did not want a full-blown war in Lebanon, and some experts said Sunday's powerful strikes could calm the rising tensions in the short term.
Iran-backed Hezbollah said its attack was in retaliation for the assassination of high-ranking Hezbollah figure Fuad Shukr. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a warning to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, that "what we did today is another step toward changing the situation" along the Israeli-Lebanese border.
