Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, the head of Realign For Palestine, an Atlantic Council project that challenges entrenched narratives in the Israel and Palestine discourse. This week, we dive into the five likely scenarios that could play out in Gaza during 2026, which Alkhatib recently proposed on his social media channels. According to Alkhatib, the five proposals all "undermine Hamas severely and massively change the calculus and geostrategic landscape following the Trump-sponsored ceasefire in October, which has temporarily halted the war." The five proposals include: A mutiny from Hamas’s ranks within Gaza due to economic and cost-of-living pressures; a significant rise and empowerment of anti-Hamas militias in different areas of the Gaza Strip; mass protests and large-scale uprisings against Hamas throughout the Gaza Strip by civilians; a mass exodus of civilians, from the Red Zone controlled by Hamas behind the "yellow line" into the Israeli-controlled Green Zone; and a successful international stabilization force (ISF) deployment with the mandate of battling and demilitarizing Hamas. We go through each scenario point-by-point throughout the conversation, leaving time for a reader's question or two. And so this week, we ask Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, what matters now.

Send us a textA world-level skyrace is returning to U.S. soil, and the path runs straight up a rugged Olympic Mountains summit. We sit down with race director and media voice Mathias Eichler to unpack how Beast of Big Creek became the only U.S. stop on the Skyrunner World Series, what ISF course certification really requires, and how you scale a steep, technical route without breaking the wilderness that makes it magic.Mathias shares the full arc: inheriting a beloved local race, modernizing without losing soul, and navigating permits, fires, trail capacity, and access in a part of Washington that's breathtaking and stubbornly off-grid. We get practical about logistics—Olympia as a pre-race hub, ferry approaches from Seattle, limited parking, and why camping might be a feature, not a bug. Along the way, we zoom out to the sport's bigger picture: why short trail and VK-style events thrive in Europe, how UTMB, Golden Trail, and Cirque each shape the calendar, and what it will take to build a real fan culture here—cheer zones, better visuals, and honest, story-driven media.Expect sharp takes on world championship timing, sponsor incentives, and how to film races that live above treeline. If you care about the future of American skyrunning—course design, elite fields, and spectator experience—this conversation is your field guide to what's next and what's possible.Enjoyed the episode?

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced in a video message that he has approved the largest energy deal in Israel’s history. The natural gas deal with Egypt is worth NIS 112 billion ($34.7 billion), of which NIS 58 billion ($18 billion) will go into public coffers. Magid gives insight into the slow rollout of this massive deal. Magid reported yesterday that the US has secured commitments from Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany to have their leaders join US President Donald Trump on the Board of Peace that will oversee the postwar management of Gaza. We review the significance of the names that are currently not on the list and the ambiguous mandate of the International Security Force -- including an apparent walk-back from forcing Hamas to disarm. On Sunday, hundreds of Palestinians attended protests across the West Bank against the Palestinian Authority’s new prisoner payment system. Does this public anger indicate that Ramallah is moving ahead with the Western-pushed welfare reform, or is it all smoke and mirrors, as Israel's Foreign Ministry alleges? In the annual Hanukkah party on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said that Congress “is becoming antisemitic,” as the “Jewish lobby” is no longer the strongest in Washington. Though he wasn't given a White House latke this year, Magid agrees to set the scene and delves into statements made at the celebration.Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

For review:1. US Agrees to Unspecified Security Guarantees for Ukraine; Talks to Continue.2.  Estonia Begins Installing Concrete Bunkers on Border with Russia. The initial batch represents the first phase of the Estonian 600-bunker network as part of the Baltic Defense Line project- coordinated with Lithuania and Latvia.3. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday met with the US Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy to Syria and Lebanon Tom Barrack, amid concerns that Israel could launch a major military offensive against Hezbollah if Beirut does not step up its campaign to disarm the terror group.4. The US is hosting a conference in Doha tomorrow aimed at offering potential donor countries more details on how the ISF will operate in a bid to move ahead with the initiative that has appeared to stall since the UN Security Council backed its formation roughly a month ago.5. Tom Barrack (US Ambassador to Turkey), said there were “ongoing discussions with Türkiye regarding their desire to rejoin the F-35 program and their possession of the Russian-made S-400 air defense system.”6. Trinidad & Tobago Allow US Military Access to Airports. Only 7 miles (11 kilometers) separate Venezuela from the twin-island Caribbean nation at their closest point. It has two main airports: Piarco International Airport in Trinidad and ANR Robinson International Airport in Tobago.

Tobias Stückelberger ist ein leidenschaftlicher Chorleiter. Das Hören ist ihm dabei genauso wichtig wie das Singen selbst. Die Grundlage für gute Chorarbeit, so sagt er im Gespräch, bestehe aber darin, dem Chor ein Zuhause zu bieten. Tobias Stückelberger stammt aus einer Pfarrersfamilie und wächst in der Baselbieter Gemeinde Therwil auf. Die Predigten seiner Mutter, zu denen er als Kind mitgenommen wurden, bringen ihn früh in Berührung mit Kirchenmusik. Er schliesst sich dem Kinderchor der Gemeinde an und wechselt mit zehn Jahren zur Knabenkantorei Basel. Mittlerweile ist Tobias Stückelberger 32 Jahre alt und schaut bereits auf eine intensive Zeit als Chorleiter zurück. Nach einem Studium in Basel wird er Assistent der Leiterin des «Norwegian Soloist Choir» Grete Pedersen in Oslo, wo er wesentliche Impulse für seine Arbeit bekommt und gleichzeitig den Master macht. Und nach einer weiteren Station in Südafrika als Leiter des Chores der «Drakensberg Boys Choir School» kehrt er in die Schweiz zurück, wo er nun die vielen internationalen Einflüsse in seine Arbeit als Leiter der Solothurner Singknaben und anderer Chorprojekte im Raum Basel einfliessen lässt. Von seiner Liebe zur Chormusik und seiner Art zu arbeiten, von einer unglaublichen Begegnung in Südafrika und einer darauffolgenden Reise nach London, von seiner aktuellen Arbeit bei den Solothurner Singknaben und einem nicht wirklich geplanten Erfolg als Dominospieler erzählt Tobias Stückelberger im Gespräch mit Gastgeber Michael Luisier. Die Einspieler: 1. Singknaben der St. Ursenkathedrale Solothurn – «Es Ching gebore in Betlehem» (Norwegisches Weihnachtslied) Tobias Stückelberger, Chorleiter 2.

Send us a textBreaking news rarely hits mountain running like this. The World Skyrunner Series is officially returning to the United States, and the Beast of Big Creek on Washington's Olympic Peninsula is the stage. We dive straight into what makes this 23K course so compelling: sustained grades exceeding 20 percent, a clean up-and-down profile that rewards efficient climbers and fearless descenders, and a summit near 6,000 feet that avoids altitude headaches without losing the punch. With 1.5x points on offer, we make the case for why European stars could cross the Atlantic and why sub-two hours might be in play.We unpack the “why here” question through logistics and strategy. Seattle's international access makes travel simple, while the terrain delivers classic skyrunning character without sprawling altitude or complex permitting. Then we zoom out: how ISF certification interacts with the World Series, the signals from Whiteface and Broken Arrow, and whether a U.S. skyrunning series is waiting in the wings. We compare philosophies too, contrasting Golden Trail's media-friendly flower loops with skyrunning's traditional aesthetic lines and discussing why a tighter global calendar could sharpen competition and improve storytelling.This is also a conversation about athlete pathways. If more U.S. events gain certification, short-trail standouts, collegiate converts, and VK specialists can build toward European icons like Matterhorn and Trofeo Kima without crossing oceans for every test. We talk rumors, real implications for the Northeast and Pacific Northwest scenes, and how brands and athletes might respond if skyrunning gains momentum here. Hit play to catch our hot takes, practical race analysis, and the questions that will define the next phase of American mountain running.

Join The Land of Israel Fellowship: https://thelandofisrael.com/ Support The Israel Guys: https://theisraelguys.com/donate/ Turkey is signaling it's ready to send troops into Gaza as part of an International Stabilization Force—something Israel strongly opposes as the U.S. pushes for Ankara's involvement. Turkish officials insist they "must be there" as guarantors of the ceasefire, while Egypt and Turkey argue the ISF should focus on separating Israeli forces and Hamas rather than disarming the terror group. Israeli leaders warn that without disarmament, the mission will fail, and analysts predict little will change: Israel will hold security lines, Hamas will stay armed, and the ISF will operate only in limited areas. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Turkey are discussing Ankara's possible return to the F-35 program despite Israel's objections, European tensions continue over migration, and powerful scenes unfold in Israel—from Haredi soldiers marching to the Kotel in a storm to Levites singing on the Temple Mount for the first time in nearly two millennia. As always, the episode closes with a reminder to ignore the propaganda and stay connected to the truth coming from the Land of Israel.

Today's Topics1) Latest Trump Peace Plan for Ukraine:  Trump  is claiming Ukraine President Zelensky 'hasn't yet read the latest proposal' but his people love it, as do the Russians?   What peace plan is he talking about?. Meanwhile, Zelensky on Monday met in London with the heads of states of Germany, France and UK to discuss European support for Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression.  What happens next?2)  Trump Administration Offers New US  National Security Strategy?:  On Friday December 5th,  President Trump released a new 'national security strategy' paper.  Putin supports the new US position of 'reestablishing strategic stability with Russia'.  But the plan also  warns of 'civilization erasure' in Europe in next 20 years.  Should we take this new strategy paper seriously?    3)  What Are The Eight "Peace Deals" Trump Claims?:  In the first year of his second term, Trump claims he has 'brought peace' to eight international conflicts.  What are they and how did he impact the wars?  Will these peace deals and cease fires last, or is it just a cosmetic pause?  4)  Phase Two of Trump's Peace Plan for Gaza?:  There is only one 'hostage body' remaining in Hamas captivity, so we seem very close to completing Phase One.  What happens in Phase Two?  Will an International Stabilization Force (ISF) be sent in?  If so, who are they and will the ISF be tasked with disarming Hamas militants?  Support the show

Send us a textThe view from a razorback ridge can change your life—and your training. We invited Robin Vieira Brower, one of the few American women racing the Skyrunner World Series, to unpack how she built a season across Austria and Ireland, what “sea to sky” truly demands, and why skyrunning needs a bigger footprint in the U.S. Robin shares a refreshingly candid path from college soccer to technical mountain running, the exact workouts that paid off on steep grades, and the mindset shift required when weather cancels races the day before the start.We dig into the nuts and bolts—heart rate based training, base-building through winter, and the intervals that translate directly to efficient climbing and controlled descending. Robin also opens up about running a creative studio while racing internationally, turning storytelling into a strength instead of a distraction. We compare skyrunning with Golden Trail and UTMB, talk through ISF standards that protect the sport's identity, and spotlight the best U.S. gateways for “real sky” skills: Cirque Series venues, The Rut, Alyeska, and the Wasatch. Expect practical insights on gear, travel, and course selection, plus honest talk about representation and how to support more women on technical terrain.If you've wondered how to break into skyrunning—or just want to understand why switchbacks are sometimes optional in Europe—this conversation delivers a clear map and plenty of motivation.

In the second part of his interview with journalist Nick Witchell, Steve and Nick delve into the world of AI and cyber. Steve shares his thoughts on autonomous cyber defense and argues that major actors like the ISF, large private enterprises, and the UK's National Cyber Security Centre, must lead the way and support small and medium-sized businesses in keeping pace with technological advancements. The two also discuss the future of AI, cautioning that we aren't as prepared as we need to be… Key Takeaways: Small and medium-sized businesses must receive support to stay up-to-date with new technologies. As more automation is introduced into business operations, understanding of one's crown jewels and how to protect them is increasingly important.

Today we will be talking to Yehudah Halper about his new book, Averroes on Pathways to Divine Knowledge (Academic Studies Press, 2025). The twelfth-century Andalusian philosopher Averroes sought to understand the divine in a way independent of religious theology, by turning to the philosophical works of Aristotle and, to a lesser extent, Plato. In doing so, he established standards of scientific inquiry into God that were and remain highly influential on Jewish and Christian thought. Averroes, however, does not provide much in the way of demonstrative knowledge of God, and most of his arguments remain dialectical, rhetorical, or political. This volume explores the various pathways towards attaining divine knowledge that we find in Averroes' commentaries on Aristotle's De Anima, Metaphysics, and Nicomachean Ethics, and on Plato's Republic, along with Averroes' Epistle on Divine Knowledge, Decisive Treatise, and more. Yehuda Halper is Professor in the Department of Jewish Philosophy at Bar Ilan University. He is currently a aisiting professor at University of Chicago Divinity School. His first monograph, Jewish Socratic Questions in an Age without Plato (Brill, 2021) won the Goldstein-Goren Book Award for the best book in Jewish Thought in 2019-2021. He is currently directing the ISF grant (#622/22) "Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Explanation of Foreign Terms and the Foundations of Philosophy in Hebrew." Rabbi Marc Katz is the Senior Rabbi at Temple Ner Tamid. His latest book is Yochanan's Gamble: Judaism's Pragmatic Approach to Life. Learn more about your ad choices.

Quem vai garantir a paz em Gaza? Neste vídeo, explico o que mudou após o acordo e por que a questão segue em aberto: dos EUA instalando um centro de coordenação civil-militar em Kiryat Gat — perto o bastante para operar, longe o bastante para não parecer ocupação — às conversas sobre uma Força Internacional de Estabilização (ISF) que teria de conciliar três missões que raramente combinam: pacificação, reconstrução e contenção do Hamas. Mostro os dilemas centrais: ninguém quer combater o Hamas; Israel rejeita “presenças sem poder”; EUA, França e Reino Unido falam em força multinacional armada; Egito e Jordânia preferem treinar e policiar; Catar e Turquia pesam seu papel de mediadores e aliados; europeus dividem posições; Indonésia acena com tropas, mas tudo fica condicionado ao desarmamento — improvável — do Hamas. Analiso ainda propostas de “duas zonas” em Gaza, as exigências de segurança de Israel, o cálculo político dos países árabes e o risco de reativar o conflito com ataques aéreos se o grupo não entregar as armas. No fim, deixo o veredito: sem um mecanismo crível de desarmamento, uma autoridade palestina legítima e uma coalizão disposta a assumir riscos reais, a ISF permanece no papel e o próximo ciclo de violência continua à espreita.

Après avoir réduit l'assiette de la taxe sur le patrimoine financier des holdings familiales prévue par le Gouvernement, puis écarté la taxe Zucman défendue par la gauche, les députés ont adopté, le 31 octobre 2025, l'amendement déposé par le député MoDem des Pyrénées-Atlantiques Jean-Paul Mattei visant à transformer l'impôt sur la fortune immobilière (IFI) en « impôt sur la fortune improductive. » « Tout patrimoine productif est hors ISF, par contre le patrimoine non productif rentre dans l'impôt, nous résumé le député MoDem. Cet amendement vise donc à remettre un peu de justice et de cohérence fiscale. » Son principe ? Il élargit cette fois-ci l'assiette de l'IFI à certains placements financiers et biens meublés. Au lieu d'un barème progressif allant jusqu'aujourd'hui de 0,5 % à 1,5 %, le taux d'imposition serait désormais fixé à 1,5 % et s'appliquerait dès lors que le patrimoine dépasserait les 2 millions d'euros. Si ce nouvel impôt survit à la copie finale du budget 2026, seront donc concernés par l'amendement Mattei : tous les actifs immobiliers productifs, les sommes, rentes ou valeurs d'assurance-vie, ainsi que les liquidités et placements financiers assimilés, les cryptomonnaies et « les biens meubles corporels », comme les jets privés, les voitures de luxe, les bijoux mais aussi les œuvres d'art jusqu'à présent exonérées d'ISF. Malgré tout, le 31 octobre au soir, l'amendement Mattei a rencontré quelques écueils avec l'adoption du sous-amendement du député socialiste Philippe Brun visant notamment à abaisser les 2 millions à 1,3 million d'euros le seuil d'entrée de cette contribution. Une question désormais se pose : quel sort sera réservé par la Chambre-Haute aux amendements Matteï-Brun dès la reprise des débats le 25 novembre ? Il est certain que les sénateurs revoient la copie une probable réunion en commission mixte paritaire (CMP). Ecoutons Jean-Paul Matteï, député du groupe (MoDem) des Pyrénées-Atlantiques (circonscription de Pau), et notaire de profession.

Bon.. au moment où j'écris ces lignes, le texte a changé.Dans le cadre du débat parlementaire, la fameuse "taxe holdings" a étéprofondément transformée. Elle ne vise plus les actifs financiers ou immobiliers comme prévu initialement, mais désormais uniquement les biens de luxe détenus par des sociétés : bijoux, œuvres d'art, voitures de collection, yachts…❌ En clair, une taxe sur le patrimoine ostentatoire logé dans des structures à l'IS.Mais attention : si le Projet de Loi de Finances (PLF) n'est pas voté, le gouvernement pourrait revenir, par ordonnance, à la version d'origine — celle d'une véritable taxe sur la fortune des sociétés. Et il serait naïf de croire que le sujet est clos.J'ai reçu pour en parler Philippe Donneaud avocat associé chez CMS Francis Lefebvre Avocats, dans Une Cession Presque Parfaite. Et selon lui, ce changement n'est qu'un ajustement politique, pas une renonciation. L'idée de fond reste intacte : faire contribuer le capital considéré comme improductif, autrement dit la richesse qui ne travaille pas.

Dans les débats sur le Budget 2026, l'ISF fait son retour, sous un nouveau nom. Les députés ont adopté un amendement transformant l'Impôt sur la Fortune Immobilière (IFI) en « impôt sur la fortune improductive », élargissant son assiette à des biens comme les voitures, œuvres d'art, yachts, liquidités, cryptomonnaies ou contrats d'assurance-vie non investis. Ce nouveau dispositif, encore flou sur ses recettes potentielles, soulève de nombreuses questions : est-ce un ISF déguisé ? Une mesure punitive pour les patrimoines non investis ? Et quel impact sur l'économie réelle ? Décryptage avec Charles Sannat, fondateur du site insolentiae. Ecorama du 3 novembre 2025, présenté par David Jacquot sur Boursorama.com Hébergé par Audion.

Sau hai tuần ngừng bắn, hy vọng đoàn tụ của các gia đình con tin đang biến thành nỗi tuyệt vọng. Dù đã có thỏa thuận, 13 thi thể con tin vẫn mất tích giữa những đống đổ nát ở Gaza, trong khi Israel và Hamas liên tục đổ lỗi cho nhau. Cùng lúc, các cường quốc tranh cãi gay gắt về việc triển khai Lực lượng Ổn định Quốc tế (ISF). Liệu sự phức tạp này có đang đe dọa làm sụp đổ lệnh ngừng bắn mong manh?

durée : 00:05:32 - Le Journal de l'éco - par : Anne-Laure Chouin - La Norvège est l'un des pays les plus riches au monde et c'est aussi l'un des rares pays d'Europe où subsiste encore un impôt sur la fortune (ISF). Une taxe qui existe depuis très longtemps, mais qui a fait récemment l'objet d'un débat.

Ceasefire in GazaPresident Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, marking the beginning of a multi-phase peace process. The first phase slated to begin Monday includes the release of 20 hostages, a halt to active fighting, and Israeli withdrawal from parts of Gaza. Hamas is expected to return the remains of deceased hostages as part of the deal.The agreement, brokered with the help of Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, represents a shift in regional diplomacy. Qatar's role is especially significant, given its previous support for Hamas. Observers suggest that recent Israeli strikes in Doha (looking more and more like an approved strike by Qatar) indicate a broader effort to isolate Hamas.Key details of the peace plan, which aligns with a Trump proposal presented at the UN, include:1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1,700 Gazans who were detained after 7 October 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the 19 January 2025 agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under 19 January 2025 agreement.9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of state to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform programme, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump's peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarisation of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration programme all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbours.14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the United States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.—The long-term viability of the deal remains uncertain, but initial signs suggest a realignment of regional priorities. This deal has Trump's fingerprints all over it. As I am typing this I am speaking with friend of the program Wil Harris who is telling me that the UK press is presenting this as Biden's plan Trump is taking credit for. That's a bit rich, in my opinion. To paraphrase The Social Network:If Biden was the inventor of the Gaza Peace Plan, he would have implemented the Gaza Peace Plan. Katie Porter's Viral Meltdown Raises Political StakesCalifornia gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter is under fire following a viral interview where she appeared combative with a reporter. The incident was compounded by resurfaced footage of Porter harshly reprimanding a staffer during the COVID-19 lockdown.Porter's opponents, including Antonio Villaraigosa and Betty Yee, have seized on the moment to question her temperament and fitness for office. Strategists warn that although her base remains strong, such optics could threaten her standing as the Democratic frontrunner in a crowded 2026 race.Despite the controversy, many believe Porter's progressive bona fides will carry her through. The Democratic primary electorate, historically more tolerant of combative behavior if aligned with ideological purity, may ultimately overlook the episode.James Comey Arraigned in Politically Charged CaseFormer FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty this week to charges of lying to Congress and obstruction, charges filed by the Department of Justice under Trump's newly appointed U.S. Attorney, Lindsey Halligan. Comey's legal team is expected to challenge the basis of the prosecution, citing political retaliation.Legal experts widely anticipate the case may be dismissed before trial, but the optics alone are significant. The indictment illustrates the fraught landscape of prosecutorial partisanship in the post-Trump era, where legal actions against political adversaries risk becoming a norm rather than an exception.Chapters and Time Codes* Introduction & Return to Austin — 00:00:41* Gaza Ceasefire Overview — 00:05:10* Trump's Role and Regional Dynamics — 00:08:18* Implications for Hamas and Israel — 00:14:11* Katie Porter Controversy — 00:20:31* Political Impact of Porter's Behavior — 00:24:06* James Comey Indictment — 00:29:11* Wrap-up & Preview of Ken Vogel Interview — 00:32:23 This is a public episode.

A complete Hamas surrender and the return of all hostages in return for the release of Palestinian prisoners - that's the core of a 20-point peace deal announced by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu with the blessing of Arab leaders, who now have to persuade Hamas to sign up. Today, US correspondent Joe Kelly joins us to break down the detail.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alors que 8 Français sur 10 réclament davantage de justice fiscale, le Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu a confirmé qu'il n'y aurait pas de rétablissement de l'impôt de solidarité sur la fortune (ISF). Une décision saluée par le patronat mais vivement critiquée par l'opposition. L'ISF, créé pour taxer les patrimoines supérieurs à 1,3 million d'euros, était calculé sur le patrimoine net: biens immobiliers, valeurs mobilières, liquidités, bijoux… moins certaines dettes. Plus le patrimoine était élevé, plus le taux progressif d'imposition augmentait. En 2017, cet impôt a été remplacé par l'IFI, l'impôt sur la fortune immobilière, beaucoup plus restreint dans son assiette puisqu'il ne concerne que le patrimoine immobilier. Le gouvernement de l'époque justifiait ce choix par la volonté de favoriser l'investissement productif et d'attirer les capitaux en France, plutôt que de les voir s'exiler. Depuis, le Medef n'a cessé de défendre cette réforme, voyant dans l'ISF une « ligne rouge » à ne pas franchir. Pour l'organisation patronale, rétablir cet impôt serait synonyme de fuite des fortunes et de frein à la croissance. Un symbole fort de justice fiscale Dans les faits, l'ISF concernait à peine 1 % des Français. Mais au-delà de son rendement, relativement limité, il représentait un symbole puissant de justice fiscale et de redistribution. Sa suppression, selon plusieurs rapports parlementaires et études économiques, a permis aux contribuables les plus riches d'économiser plus de dix milliards d'euros en moins de dix ans. Or, malgré cet allègement fiscal, les effets sur l'investissement productif se sont révélés faibles, voire quasi inexistants. Pour une grande partie de l'opinion publique, l'ISF était donc perçu comme un outil permettant de faire contribuer davantage ceux qui possèdent le plus. Sa disparition a accentué le sentiment d'injustice sociale, particulièrement dans un contexte où les inégalités restent très marquées. C'est ce décalage entre perception symbolique et arguments économiques qui alimente encore aujourd'hui la polémique autour de l'ISF. Une équation politique délicate pour le gouvernement En annonçant qu'il n'y aurait pas de retour de l'ISF dans le budget 2026, Sébastien Lecornu a envoyé un signal clair au monde patronal. Le Premier ministre cherche ainsi à préserver la confiance des investisseurs et à éviter de braquer les grandes fortunes. Mais cette position n'est pas sans risque. Les syndicats de salariés, mobilisés dès le début du mois d'octobre, réclament davantage de justice fiscale et une meilleure redistribution des richesses. Dans le même temps, les organisations patronales prévoient leurs propres mobilisations contre d'autres mesures économiques. L'exécutif évolue donc sur une ligne de crête: il doit composer avec la pression du patronat tout en tentant de calmer la colère sociale. Le danger pour le gouvernement serait de voir ces deux mécontentements converger. Car, lorsque chefs d'entreprises et salariés se retrouvent côte à côte dans la rue, c'est l'ensemble du pays qui entre en crise.

How Data Gaps Are Reshaping Trade Enforcement Host: Cindy Allen Published: August 22, 2025 Length: ~20 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center In this week's episode, Cindy Allen — the Taylor Swift of Trade — takes on one of her favorite Reputation-era tracks, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, to unpack the unseen world of data flows between trade and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). From new Section 232 tariffs to the end of de minimis and the shift to consolidated entries, Cindy explains why brokers, importers, and CBP alike may feel like they're “dancing with their hands tied” as vital data disappears from the targeting system. This episode goes behind the scenes of CBP's systems — ACE, AMS, ABI, ISF, ACAS — and explains why the current rules are creating blind spots, compliance headaches, and risks for global traders.

This annual event, now in its 21st year, is a benchmark for videophiles, retailers, and manufacturers, offering a no-nonsense, side-by-side comparison of the best TVs on the market.  The Value Electronics TV Shootout Founded in 2004 by Robert and Wendy Zohn, the Value Electronics TV Shootout has become well known for its rigorous and objective evaluation process. Each TV in the shootout is professionally calibrated and tested under identical conditions—same lighting, same content, and against professional-grade Sony BVM-HX3110 mastering monitors, which are the gold standard for video professionals.  The TVs are judged on picture quality attributes like color accuracy, contrast, motion handling, and performance in both Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR). This year's competition was exclusively dedicated to OLED TVs, with no separate category for LCDs, reflecting the industry's shift toward OLED's superior black levels and color reproduction. The 2025 lineup featured four flagship 65-inch OLED models: Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED (K65XR80M2) $3000 Samsung S95F QD-OLED (QN65S95F) $3300 Panasonic Z95B WOLED (TV65Z95BP) $2000 US Model is Z95A LG G5 WOLED (OLED65G5WUA) $2900 A panel of ISF-certified judges, including display and film production professionals, evaluated the TVs using a mix of Blu-ray movie clips and specialized test patterns, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of their capabilities. Sony's Bravia 8 II QD-OLED won top honors for its exceptional SDR performance and consistency. Judges noted Sony's superior video processing, which delivered cleaner images and better upscaling than competitors. Kevin Miller, ISFTV president and display consultant, stated, “Sony's video processing is cleaner and handles upscaling better than Samsung's, despite both using the same quantum dot OLED panel.” This processing edge proved decisive. Panasonic's Z95B OLED marked its U.S. market return at the 2025 Shootout, narrowly winning the HDR category over Samsung's S95F by 0.01 points. Absent from the U.S. for years, Panasonic leveraged the event to showcase its OLED lineup, previously limited to Europe and Asia. Alex Fried, Panasonic's director of business development, emphasized the brand's renowned picture quality, saying, “It was great to be back in the shootout, reflecting Panasonic's legacy of top-tier performance.” Samsung's S95F QD-OLED came in a close second overall, splitting HDR category wins with Panasonic and performing strongly across the board. Its quantum dot OLED panel, shared with Sony, delivered impressive brightness and color volume, but it fell slightly short in SDR due to Sony's superior processing. LG's G5 WOLED, however, was a surprising disappointment, finishing last in both SDR and HDR categories. Despite LG's pioneering role in OLED technology and its use of RGB OLED panels from LG Display, the G5 struggled with color accuracy and EOTF (electro-optical transfer function) issues. Judge Chris Boylan, co-founder of Big Picture Big Sound, noted, “The LG was a little disappointing with some processing issues that lowered its overall scores in some categories. Some of these might actually be fixable with future software updates.” This outcome raised questions about LG's current standing in the OLED race, especially given its historical dominance in the category. Final Thoughts Sony's seventh straight “King of TVs” win at the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout reaffirms its position as a leader in premium display technology, driven by superior video processing and consistent performance. However, the tight competition—especially Panasonic's HDR upset and Samsung's close second—shows that the gap between top-tier OLEDs is narrower than ever. For consumers, this means more choices and exceptional quality across the board. Whether you're a videophile chasing the ultimate picture or a casual viewer seeking a top-tier TV, the 2025 Shootout proves that OLED is the technology to beat, and Sony's Bravia 8 II is currently leading the pack. Note - Hisense and TCL were invited to the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout but chose not to participate.
