Bryan examines why AI is growing more dangerous with time, not less.

Arab League Calls for Hamas to Disarm In a rare move, Arab states and Turkey publicly demand Hamas step down and hand over weapons to the Palestinian Authority. While Israel and Trump cautiously welcome the news, aid delivery failures and propaganda missteps complicate hopes for peace.
