Israel Escapes Prosecution in War Crimes Case
Israel fights possible international war crimes charges after a U.N. report on Gaza. It hires lawyers, lobbies governments, and triggers a public relations push as Britain and other nations weigh universal jurisdiction. Palestinian withdrawal then delays a U.N. rights council vote and may push any ICC path into doubt.

Grant funds aimed at keeping families housed in Lawrence
Heather Hoy of the Housing Authority explains a HUD funded program will provide third party payments to landlords and utility firms to prevent homelessness. Local leaders expect funds by early November with applicants via the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority or case managers from ECEAN or the Ballard Center. The program targets short term crises, not foreclosures or chronic homelessness, and seeks to stabilize families, many headed by single mothers, amid job losses and reduced hours.
