On COI #113, Kyle and Will cover the ceasefire deal reached
between the Israeli government and armed groups in Gaza. The
agreement has held over several days and appears to have brought
the eruption of violence to an end. All said and done, at least 248
Palestinians and 12 Israelis were killed throughout 11 days of
fighting, which flattened residential areas across Gaza and saw
thousands of rockets fired into Israeli cities. Under tight
blockade, Gaza now returns to its status as the world's largest
open-air prison as Tel Aviv continues to expand Jewish-only
settlements in the occupied West Bank.
US lawmakers have introduced a series of bills looking to repeal
several Authorizations for the Use of Military Force (AUMFs) still
on the books, including those passed in 1957, 1991 and 2002. While
a promising development, the much more open-ended 2001 AUMF – which
has been invoked for Terror War military action in at least 14
countries – has been left out of the recent push to rescind the
authorizations.
Yemen's Houthis have maintained their offensive into Marib
province, the last major piece of territory in the country’s north
controlled by the Saudi-backed government. Though fighting has
reached a stalemate, the Biden administration continues to place
all blame on the Houthis for the ongoing violence, ignoring their
pleas to end their support for a Saudi blockade on Yemen's
ports.
