Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering ordering the complete reoccupation of the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli media. However, senior officials have warned that the plan would endanger the remaining hostages, risk further international isolation of Israel, and require the IDF to administer a population in which Hamas fighters were still present. The idea of Israel occupying all of Gaza raises several questions, chief among them: What about the hostages?

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers left Texas yesterday, preventing the state House of Representatives from moving forward with a redrawn congressional map sought by President Trump. Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state police to find and arrest them, though state law enforcement is restricted to making arrests in Texas. Both parties over the years have gerrymandered political maps to advantage themselves, though such tactics have not typically gained political parties many seats over the years. However, a larger factor is at work here—one that is relevant to each of us and the future of our democracy.

Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s Middle East envoy, joined US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on a visit to a US-backed aid operation in Gaza on Friday. The Israeli military said two hundred trucks of aid were distributed by the UN and other organizations on Thursday, with hundreds more waiting to be picked up from border crossings inside Gaza. However, reports from the Gaza Strip claim very few supplies have made it into warehouses to be distributed to the population. The son of a founding Hamas leader said, “They don’t care for the Palestinian people. They do not regard human life.” How do we pray for the situation today?

Lee Zeldin, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator, announced earlier this week what he described as “the largest deregulatory action in the history of the United States.” While Zeldin and others in the administration have argued the cost of these regulations outpaces the environmental gains, their primary focus is less on the science behind climate change and more on the argument that Congress took shortcuts in granting regulatory powers to the EPA in the first place. Whether that assessment proves accurate will be for the courts to decide, but the attempt has sparked fresh debate over both climate change in general and the government’s role in combating it more specifically. And when it comes to that debate, relying on facts over narratives is essential.

A bloody, late-night brawl in downtown Cincinnati last weekend has generated national attention. Several people took videos of the attack, but only one person called 911. Video evidence shows the man and woman who were beaten to be white and their assailants to be black. A senior figure in the US Justice Department suggested that the attack may have been motivated by race and that suspects could also be charged with federal hate crimes. How can we form a cohesive culture that chooses to love and value our neighbor today?

One of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded struck yesterday in Russia’s Far East, triggering tsunami waves in Hawaii and Japan and prompting warnings and evacuations across the Pacific. The 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula ranks among the six strongest on record.

Christian persecution in the Middle East is on the rise as Hamas and other terrorist organizations gain traction. As the number of Syrian Christians declines dramatically, believers in the land where Paul met Jesus could one day be no more. Yesterday we focused on the compassion we should have for hurting people, since they are loved by our Father and should be loved by his children as well. Today, let’s note that we should especially have such compassion for our sisters and brothers in the faith.

A gunman armed with an assault-style rifle walked into a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper last night and began firing. He killed four, including a New York police officer. The news has been filled with such tragedies in the last few days. However, the cultural prism we have inherited competes with the sanctity of human life and the solidarity of our race. From Socrates to today, we’ve been taught that truth is individual. In such a worldview, it can be easy to care personally about the news in direct proportion to its perceived personal relevance. But this transactional approach to hurting people is not the spirit of Jesus. Today, we discuss the best way we can love others with a heart after Jesus.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, mitochondrial diseases are “a group of genetic conditions that affect how mitochondria in your cells produce energy.” They can cause developmental delays in children, profound muscle weakness, hearing loss, blindness, strokes, and heart failure. Those with the worst symptoms die earliest, often before the age of three. Now there’s a way to prevent the transmission of these diseases to the next generation with a new IVF procedure. The children produced in this way will avoid the mitochondrial diseases they would otherwise have inherited. What’s not to like about this news? A good deal, as it turns out.

Earlier this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a controversial bill placing independent anti-corruption agencies under the control of the prosecutor general, sparking widespread protests and international condemnation. Though the law aimed to curb Russian influence and speed up stalled investigations, critics saw it as a step back toward corruption. Under intense pressure, Zelensky quickly introduced a new bill to restore and even strengthen the agencies’ independence. While that legislation still awaits a vote, the swift response underscores Ukraine’s growing democratic accountability. Spiritually, it reflects the call to not just flee sin but pursue Christ—a reminder that true change comes from where we fix our focus.
