There appears intensifying discussion about an extended ceasefire between Hamas and Israel that could theoretically bring end to present war. Given the timing if it comes to pass many observers will conclude that Houthi intervention in the Red Sea helped pressure this outcome.

Donald Trump leads Democratic President Joe Biden by six percentage points in a Reuters/Ipsos poll today. Remember he likely could lose by 3 points and still win in the electoral college, so this is a massive gap for Biden to recover. Biden thinks that he has the Arab American vote secured because Trump imposed the Muslim Ban. In Biden's view, preventing Muslims from coming to America is worse than facilitating the slaughter of +24,000 Palestinians in Gaza. Not a single Arab American I have spoken to agrees. Muslim and Arab American community members and leaders I’ve spoken with overwhelmingly have said that they have no illusions about what a second Trump administration would mean for them. But that there’s no way they could give Joe Biden their votes after the mass killing in Gaza.
