Israel launches a new military operation in Gaza

Israel says it has launched a major operation in the Gaza Strip to pressure Hamas to release remaining hostages. Israel’s defense minister said Saturday that Operation Gideon Chariots began and is being led with “great force” by Israel’s army. The announcement comes after days of intensive strikes across Gaza that killed hundreds of people. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed earlier in the week to escalate pressure on Hamas with the aim of destroying the militant group that has ruled Gaza for nearly two decades. Russian drone strike kills 9 people A Russian drone has struck a passenger bus in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region, killing nine people and injuring seven others. Ukrainian officials said the attack happened on Saturday, just hours after Moscow and Kyiv held their first direct peace talks in years. The talks failed to yield a ceasefire. The Sumy regional administration said in a post on the Telegram messaging app that “this is another war crime by Russia — a deliberate strike on civilian transport that posed no threat.” The peace talks ended after less than two hours on Friday, with both sides agreeing on a large prisoner swap while a ceasefire remained elusive.

Midwest weather leaves several dead

Authorities say at least nine people are dead after a tornado touched down and sparked a “mass casualty event" in southeastern Kentucky. Sheriff John Root said there were also severe injuries when the tornado tore across Laurel County in late Friday. The search is continuing for survivors. Meanwhile, the city of St. Louis was still reeling from a tornado that hobbled the city on Friday leaving at least 5 dead and damaging about 5 thousand homes. Oklahoma adds 2020 Election to Curriculum The State of Oklahoma is adding information about the 2020 election to its K-12 School curriculum. The previous standard for studying the 2020 election merely said, “Examine issues related to the election of 2020 and its outcome." The new version is more expansive: “Identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in key battleground states, the security risks of mail-in balloting, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and the unprecedented contradiction of ‘bellwether county’ trends.” The new standards also point out to students that the source of the Covid 19 virus was a lab in Wuhan, China. Superintendent Ryan Walters said, ““The left has been pushing left-wing indoctrination in the classroom … We’re moving it back to actually understanding history ... and I’m unapologetic about that.”

Iran to continue nuclear talks with the US

Iran’s president says his country will continue talks over its rapidly advancing nuclear program but will not withdraw from its rights because of U.S. threats. In a speech to navy officials broadcast Saturday, President Masoud Pezeshkian says, “We are negotiating and we will negotiate, we are not after war but we do not fear any threat.” President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to unleash airstrikes targeting Iran’s program if a deal isn’t reached. A major sticking point in the negotiations remains Iran’s enrichment of uranium, which Tehran insists it must be allowed to do and the Trump administration increasingly insists the Islamic Republic must give up. Republicans forge their tax bill House Republicans are in the final rounds of negotiations over a sweeping budget plan that has been significantly influenced by President Donald Trump's priorities. Many GOP lawmakers expect the bill will only make it through the finish line if Trump personally weighs in with members. It is not unusual in the modern era for a president to direct the legislative priorities in Congress, but many House Republicans see Trump’s role as singular and decisive as they aim to pass the bill before Memorial Day.

Oklahoma Inks Deal With UAE Company To Build $4B Aluminum Smelting Facility

Oklahoma state officials announced a deal Friday with a private company in the United Arab Emirates for the construction of a $4 billion aluminum manufacturing facility in northeast Oklahoma. Gov. Kevin Stitt and Oklahoma Department of Commerce officials say the deal with Emirates Global Aluminum would result in the first new aluminum smelting facility to be built in the U.S. in 45 years. The annual capacity of the smelter would be about 600,000 tons (544,000 metric tons) of primary aluminum, according to a memorandum of understanding signed by Stitt and the company's CEO. The project is expected to create about 1,000 direct jobs and 1,800 indirect jobs, commerce officials said. The facility would be constructed on more than 350 acres (140 hectares) at the Port of Inola, east of Tulsa. The agreement is contingent upon the Oklahoma Legislature approving a package of financial incentives that includes $275 million from the state, as well as state property, sales and inventory tax exemptions.

Trump Says Iran Has A Proposal From U.S. On Its Nuclear Program

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran has an American proposal over its rapidly advancing nuclear program as negotiations between the two countries go on. Trump made the comment aboard Air Force One as he ended his trip to the United Arab Emirates, the last stop on his three-nation tour of the Middle East. Trump did not elaborate on the substance of the proposal and Iran did not immediately acknowledge having it. On Thursday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke to journalists at the Tehran International Book Fair and said that Iran did not have any proposal from the Americans yet.

After Putin no-showed in Turkey, Trump says he'll meet Russian leader soon

President Donald Trump says he may call Russian President Vladimir Putin soon, after Putin skipped peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey. Trump is pushing for a face-to-face meeting with Putin in a bid to end Russia's 3-year-old war in Ukraine. Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Friday while beginning his journey from the Middle East back to Washington he and Putin “will meet.” Trump says he thinks they'll “solve it or maybe not" but if they don't solve it "it’ll be very interesting.” Russia and Ukraine are holding their first direct peace talks in three years, gathering in Istanbul. Trump says Putin didn’t want to go because he’s not there.
