Trump Administration Juggles Immigration Crackdown and High-Stakes Iran Nuclear Talks

Israel Kills Replacement Hezbollah Chief

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that his forces have killed the replacement for slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in another blow for the Lebanese militant group.Netanyahu, in a video address to the people of Lebanon, confirmed that Hashem Safieddine, who was expected to replace Nasrallah, was killed amid speculation of his death in a strike last week.“We have degraded Hezbollah’s capabilities,” Netanyahu said. “We have taken out thousands of terrorists, including Nasrallah himself and Nasrallah’s replacement, and the replacement of his replacement.”It was not immediately clear who Netanyahu was referring to on the replacement of Safieddine, who was the chairman of Hezbollah’s Executive Council and a cousin of Nasrallah and has not been seen or heard from since an Israeli airstrike in Beirut on Friday.Local Israeli media also reported on Tuesday that Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told troops that Safieddine was likely killed.Nasrallah was killed in a late September strike, shortly before Israeli forces moved into Lebanon to take the fight against Hezbollah on the ground. Israel has since moved operations to the southern coastline of Lebanon and continues to hammer the country with airstrikes.Most of the commanders and high-ranking officials in Hezbollah have now been eliminated by Israel, which has been fighting against the Iranian-backed militant group for more than a year but has dramatically stepped up its attacks in the past two months.

Missouri and Arizona Voters Will Vote On Abortion In November

Petitions to put abortion rights on the ballot in Missouri and Arizona were officially approved this week, adding to a growing list of states where reproductive rights will be before voters in November.Both ballot measures would amend their respective state's constitutions to enshrine the right to an abortion after the Supreme Court overturned the nationwide right to abortion in 2022, prompting state-by-state action on the issue.In Missouri, supporters of abortion rights have been pushing to amend the state constitution to allow abortion in the state, where a near-total ban is currently in place. To qualify for the ballot, roughly 170,000 signatures from six out of eight congressional districts were required. On Tuesday, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft certified that the petition had enough support to appear on the ballot. The ballot measure will present Missouri voters with an opportunity to amend the constitution to establish a right to "make and carry out decisions" about reproductive health care, including abortion and contraceptives, while removing the state's current abortion restrictions. It would allow abortion to be restricted or banned after fetal viability is reached with exceptions related to the health of the patient.On Monday, Arizona joined the list of states adding abortion to the ballot. The proposed constitutional amendment, if approved, would enshrine a right to an abortion in the state's constitution and would also prohibit punishment against anyone who assists a person in getting an abortion.The Arizona measure required 383,923 signatures. Organizers said in July that they submitted an unprecedented 823,685 signatures amid controversy surrounding the possibility of a near-total ban stemming from an 1864 law that only allowed exceptions to save the mother's life. Abortion is currently restricted in the state after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
