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!

– The Senate has formally insisted on a conference with the House on the NDAA instead of following the recent practice of reaching agreement informally. I’m not sure why the GOP wanted this, but one consequence is that a formal conference sets up a complex array of parliamentary moves in each house on amendments in disagreement and questions of scope — more than you need to know for class, but maybe fun to watch. One of the first steps may be instructing conferees. Another consequence is that final action is likely to be delayed because of the maneuvering and parliamentary requirements.
-SAIS Prof Chivvis has authored a thorough and valuable paper on The Role of Congress in US-Chinese relations.
