Friday Briefing: Hamas Considers Israel's Proposal
Briefly

The leader of Hamas's political wing said that the group was studying Israel's latest proposal for a deal with a positive spirit, and that the group would soon attend a new round of talks in Cairo. His statement raised hope for the stalled effort.
The proposed deal includes a weekslong temporary truce, release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners, civilians returning to northern Gaza, and increased aid delivery. War cabinet discussed cease-fire talks and invasion of Rafah, a sticking point. Hamas would end negotiations if the invasion occurs.
President Biden condemned violence at U.S. campuses, supporting the right to protest but not cause chaos. He opposed sending National Guard as suggested by some Republicans.
The U.S. accused Russia of using chemical weapons against Ukrainian forces, violating the Chemical Weapons Convention. Russia deployed tear gas and chloropicrin, possibly aiming to dislodge Ukrainian soldiers.
