Israel and Hamas are believed to be close to a hostage deal in return for a temporary cease-fire, but nothing has been finalized yet. A pause would be crucial to saving innocent civilians in Gaza, where the death toll is already more than 13,000.

Trump has told rally crowds he'll prosecute his political opponents to get them out of the way if he wins the presidency back. "This long ago stopped being about politics for me," @FrankFigliuzzi1 tells Mehdi. "This is a national security matter."
