Biden to Visit Cemetery Trump Skipped in 2018

President Joe Biden is set to visit the American cemetery outside Paris honoring World War I dead on Sunday, setting up a contrast with former President Donald Trump, who skipped a visit to the cemetery during a 2018 trip.
Biden will cap off a five-day trip to France paying his respects with a wreath-laying at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and Memorial before returning to Washington. He has spent much of the trip honoring American veterans – but the subtext of Sunday’s expedition is also aimed at Trump, who scrapped his 2018 journey to the memorial and later faced criticism for denigrating US veterans.

Israel’s Euphoria Over Hostage Rescue May Be Fleeting

For months, Israelis had heard only about hostages being killed or declared dead in Gaza. The ‘lucky’ families were those whose loved ones’ remains were retrieved by soldiers, at great risk, and brought home to Israel for burial.
So the audacious rescue on Saturday of four living hostages instantly raised morale in Israel and offered a momentary victory, at least, for the country’s embattled prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
But by Sunday, euphoria was already giving way to a harsh reality. The heavy air and ground assault that accompanied the rescue killed scores of Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials. And the operation failed to resolve any of the deep dilemmas and challenges vexing the Israeli government.
