Israel cites seven more months to defeat Hamas in Gaza
Israel says it may need seven months more of fighting to destroy Hamas and Islamic Jihad capabilities, a plan tied to broader national security goals after Hamas attacks on Oct 7. The war has killed over 35,000 Palestinians, with Israel claiming about 15,000 Hamas fighters killed and Rafah still contested. Israel asserts Iran-backed proxies aim to exhaust the country as tanks push into southern Gaza’s Rafah.

Alito rejects recusal in Trump Jan 6 cases over wife flags
Justice Samuel Alito says he will not step aside from Supreme Court cases involving Donald Trump or January 6 defendants. He notes his wife Martha-Ann flew an upside-down flag in 2021 and an Appeal to Heaven flag at their New Jersey home, but he insists the incidents do not meet recusal standards and vows to stay on the cases. He says a reasonable person would conclude the events do not affect the outcome. Trump praised Alito, while some Republicans supported the decision.
