Israeli officials visit the Lebanese border amid rising tensions with Hezbollah

Israeli media reported on Wednesday that additional troops would be sent to the northern border region. Netanyahu said in a television interview on Sunday that the war in Gaza was entering a new, less intense phase, allowing the military to turn more attention to Lebanon. "We may move part of our forces north," he said.On Wednesday, Herzl Halevi, the Israeli army's chief of staff, also visited the northern border with Lebanon and held a "situational assessment" with local commanders, according to an Israeli army statement.Israeli troops in the north trained on Wednesday for what the military called “extreme scenarios,” including “combat in complex and mountainous terrain, live fire and urban warfare.” The exercise was conducted “as part of increased preparation in the northern arena,...

The Supreme Court appears poised to allow emergency abortions in Idaho for now

The Supreme Court appears poised to temporarily allow emergency abortions in Idaho when a woman's health is at risk, according to a copy of what appeared to be the opinion that appeared briefly Wednesday on the court's website.The unsigned opinion dismissed the case on procedural grounds, saying the court would not, for now, address the merits of the dispute, according to the 22-page document, published by Bloomberg News. Such a decision would reinstate a lower federal court ruling that had suspended Idaho's near-total abortion ban and said the state's hospitals could perform emergency abortions if necessary to protect the mother's health.The case centers on whether a federal law requiring emergency care for any patient trumps Idaho's strict abortion ban, which bar...

Supreme Court rules in favor of Biden administration in social media case

The Supreme Court handed the Biden administration a major practical victory Wednesday, rejecting a Republican challenge that sought to block the government from reaching out to social media platforms to combat what it said was misinformation.The court ruled that the states and users who had objected to such interactions had not suffered the kind of direct harm that gave them the right to sue.The decision, made by a vote of 6 to 3, postponed the discussion until the next few hours on the fundamental questions relating to the limits imposed by the First Amendment on the government's power to influence technology companies that are the main custodians of information in the Internet age.The case arose from a flurry of communications from administration officials urging the platforms to rem...

What the Court's ruling on the drafting of ultra-Orthodox instruments means for Israel

Tuesday's ruling by Israel's Supreme Court ending a decades-long exemption for ultra-Orthodox Jews from the country's military service could herald a seismic shift in the country's trajectory, with social, political and security implications.The ruling will likely further test Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's fragile governing coalition, which depends on the support of two ultra-Orthodox parties that support the exemption, even as Israel is at war in Gaza.The issue of ultra-Orthodox exemption has long polarized a country where most 18-year-old Jews, both men and women, are conscripted for years of mandatory service. Mainstream Israelis have long chafed at the lack of equality.More recently, the months-long war in Gaza and looming conflicts on other fronts have underl...

Women pay for birth control when they shouldn't

Last week, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, chairman of the Senate Health Committee, called on a government watchdog to investigate why insurance companies continue to charge women for birth control, a move that brought access to contraceptives back into the spotlight.In a letter to the Government Accountability Office, the senator noted that insurance companies are charging Americans for contraceptives that, under federal law, should be free — and that they are also denying appeals from consumers seeking to have their contraceptives covered. Some experts estimate that such practices could affect access to birth control for millions of women.Since 2012, the Affordable Care Act has required that private insurance plans cover the “full range” of Food and Drug Administration-approved contr...

NATO to Offer Ukraine a “Bridge” to Membership at Washington Summit

NATO will offer Ukraine a new headquarters to manage its military assistance at the upcoming 75th anniversary summit in Washington, officials said, a pledge of the alliance's long-term commitment to the country's security that it was heralded as a "bridge" to Kiev's eventual membership. .Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, along with some Central European nations, fervently hoped his country would be offered NATO membership negotiations at the summit, which will take place July 9-11.Instead, the alliance will announce that it has agreed to set up a mission in Germany to coordinate long-term aid of all kinds to Ukraine, American and NATO officials said. The move is intended to send a strong signal of allied commitment, both in Kiev and in Moscow, which hopes the West will ...

In Norway, with three AI travel assistants

The task was clear: test how well the AI ​​could plan a trip to Norway, a place I had never been. So I didn't do any of my usual obsessive online research and instead asked three AI planners to create a four-day itinerary. None of them, alas, mentioned saunas or salmon.Two assistants, however, were eager to learn more about me to tailor their initially generic recommendations, which they had made in seconds. Vacay, a personalized travel planning tool, presented me with a list of questions, while Mindtrip, a new AI-powered travel assistant, invited me to take a quiz. (ChatGPT, the third assistant, didn’t ask anything.)The questions from Vacay and Mindtrip were similar: Are you traveling alone? What is your budget? Do you prefer hotels or Airbnbs? Would you rather explore the great ...

4 scenarios for the next phase of the war in Gaza, with “intense” fighting set to end

The Israeli Prime Minister says the war in the Gaza Strip will soon enter a new phase.“The intense phase of the war with Hamas is coming to an end,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a television interview Sunday. “This does not mean that the war is coming to an end, but the war in its intense phase is coming to an end.”But whatever relief these comments may bring after more than six months of horrific bloodshed, Netanyahu quickly made two things clear: A ceasefire in Gaza is not within reach. And the next clash could be in Lebanon, with the forces of a Hamas ally, Hezbollah.After recalling troops to Gaza, he said: “We will be able to move part of our forces north.”Mr Netanyahu stopped well short of announcing an invasion of Lebanon, a move that would likely have caused heavy los...
