Vance expresses optimism and preaches patience in Israel as ceasefire worries grow
Vice President JD Vance expressed cautious optimism Tuesday that peace will hold between Israel and Hamas despite recent violence that threatened the fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
“What we’ve seen the past week gives me great optimism the ceasefire is going to hold, and if we get from where we were a week ago to a long-term, durable peace between Israel and Gaza, there are going to be hills and valleys,” Vance said at a news conference to announce the opening of a civilian military cooperation center in southern Israel.

US military opens coordination center in Israel for Gaza stabilization and aid efforts amid ceasefire
Five days after world leaders endorsed a U.S.-brokered plan to end the Israel-Hamas war, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Friday opened a Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in southern Israel to serve as the main hub for Gaza stabilization efforts.
The CMCC is designed to support stabilization efforts, according to a news release.

Why Senate Republicans ‘Cheered’ at Trump’s New Shutdown Advice
Republican senators were relieved when President Donald Trump urged them to remain steadfast in refusing to negotiate with Democrats until they vote to reopen the government, Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., told The Daily Signal.
“The president encouraged us all to remain steadfast, and we cheered when he said that,” Daines said in a phone interview following Republicans’ Tuesday meeting with Trump. “We just need the Democrats to come to their senses and realize that they’ve got to start paying the troops, the [Federal Aviation Administration] controllers, [Transportation Security Administration] agents, and others who depend on the federal government.”
When asked if Trump indicated that Republicans would need to cave to Democrats’ demands to pass the continuing resolution, Daines said, “You don’t negotiate when they take the government hostage.”

Democrats Double Down Support for Jay Jones Despite Support for Assassination
As national discussion surrounding political violence has intensified, Democrats are continuing to endorse a candidate who admitted to sending text messages calling for the death of a Republican opponent and his family. Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) is the latest Democrat official to double down on supporting Democratic nominee for Attorney General of Virginia Jay Jones, despite the candidate’s violent rhetoric.
Kaine has repeatedly refused to withdraw his endorsement for Jones’s campaign, insisting, “I’m still supporting Jay Jones.” In an interview Sunday, the senator was asked if his position was hypocritical and whether or not he would insist that a hypothetical Republican who made similar violent comments should retire his campaign.

The cardinal last celebrated a pontifical Mass for the same event in the basilica in 2014.
