The recent entry of Kamala Harris has tilted polls back toward her, highlighting Minnesota's preference for diversity and progressive ideals. If Trump manages to close the gap, it could signal a broader change in the state's electoral landscape.

Times Of Israel: After Haniyeh’s death, Jordan says Israel ‘a rogue state,’ undermining hostage deal
Jordan's Foreign Minister claims Israel is acting like a "rogue" state after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, which he argues derailed ceasefire negotiations mediated by the US, Egypt, and Qatar. He demands international intervention to curb Israel's aggression.
The ongoing conflict has already cost tens of thousands of lives since October 7, heightening tensions and complicating hostage negotiations. With both sides blaming each other for the stalled talks, Haniyeh's death casts a long shadow over any hope for peace.

President Biden called the swap a diplomatic success, emphasizing the end of a "brutal ordeal" for the released prisoners. Whether Putin will entertain Gershkovich’s bold request remains uncertain.
Breitbart: Hamas Ally China 'Firmly' Condemns Killing of Top Terrorist Ismail Haniyeh
The death of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in a suspected Israeli strike has drawn sharp criticism from China, which has courted Hamas while seeking to position itself as a Middle Eastern power broker. The Chinese regime fears this incident may escalate regional tensions further.
Haniyeh, who amassed considerable wealth away from Gaza’s suffering, was in Tehran for a presidential inauguration when he met his end. Meanwhile, China calls for a ceasefire and maintains its support for Palestinian factions against Israel, all while glossing over Hamas's violence.

Le Monde: Paris 2024: Tourists more interested in Olympics than shopping
Tourists flocked to Olympic Paris, but their wallets stayed closed. With packed schedules and missing Chinese shoppers, department stores reported a slump in foot traffic. It seems the thrill of the Games couldn't convert spectators into spenders.
Retailers brace for a tough summer, hoping for a spark as crowds gather, yet the bustling boulevards offer little more than disappointment. Even patriotism can’t fill the coffers when the allure of shopping fades under the weight of tight budgets.

The Telegraph: Israel has shown it can still hit back – and now the world can sleep safer
The ongoing conflict in Israel escalated after the October 7 attacks, highlighting a failure in intelligence and defense. Israel's goal is to restore military deterrence while simultaneously dealing with threats from Hezbollah and Iran, essential for regional stability.
