Stevenson’s army, November 22

I thought this an interesting discussion of post-war “reconstruction” issues in Gaza, from Larry Garber and David Harden. It was originally posted on Americans for Peace Now.

– The Israeli government and Hamas have agreed to a limited truce and hostage exchange, and US officials appear to have given extensive background briefings. The Hill has a literal ticktock of the negotiations.  NYT stresses political pressure on Biden.Politico reports the “secret cell” of planners. David Ignatius weighs in.

– Politico reports US provided data to try to prevent attacks on humanitarian sites.

– FT has poll showing US support for Israel much stronger than in other countries.

– Breaking Defense sees benefits in shift of Israel from EUCOM to CENTCOM.

– NYT tells of international efforts to limit autonomous drones.

– Poll shows declining US support for aid to Ukraine

On this 60th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy, WaPo remembers how people got the news.

And Happy Thanksgiving to all!
