Key Takeaways
- ✓Gaza Reconstruction Gap: Trump's Board of Peace has secured $5 billion in reconstruction pledges, but experts indicate this represents only a fraction of actual needs. Critically, funds target areas under Israeli military control, not the coastal sliver where 2 million Palestinians currently live.
- ✓Ceasefire Fragility: Israel has issued Hamas a 60-day ultimatum to surrender all weapons — including small arms like rifles — or face resumed full military operations. Meanwhile, Israel simultaneously arms rival Palestinian militias, creating a contradictory dynamic that threatens the entire ceasefire framework.
- ✓Stabilization Force Obstacle: A proposed international troop deployment to Gaza as a buffer force faces a concrete barrier: Israel has already rejected Turkey's offer to participate, which has also stalled Egypt's commitment, leaving the plan's core mechanism without confirmed contributors.
- ✓Meta's Teen Targeting Evidence: Internal Meta documents revealed in court show the company knew 30% of 10-to-12-year-olds used Instagram. A strategy memo explicitly stated that winning with teenagers required recruiting them as preteens, directly contradicting Meta's stated policy against underage users.
What It Covers
Trump's newly formed Board of Peace holds its inaugural Gaza meeting with 40 nations, Prince Andrew faces arrest over Epstein document leaks, and Mark Zuckerberg testifies in a landmark social media addiction trial linked to 1,600 pending cases.

Notable Moment
During testimony, lawyers displayed a massive poster collage of hundreds of selfies posted by the plaintiff as a child. When asked whether Meta ever investigated her account for signs of unhealthy use, Zuckerberg deflected without answering.
