Blinken's Urgent Mission to Egypt Aims to Broker Gaza Ceasefire

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to visit Egypt this week, marking his 10th trip to the Middle East in an intense effort to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Amidst the backdrop of a nearly year-long conflict and upcoming U.S. elections, Blinken's discussions will focus on securing a ceasefire and the release of hostages. The visit underscores the Biden administration's commitment to reviving stalled peace talks, despite the absence of a planned stop in Israel and growing skepticism about reaching an agreement before the end of President Joe Biden's current term. Blinken's trip highlights the critical role of Egypt as a key regional partner in these negotiations, as both sides face significant challenges over military positions and prisoner exchanges.

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.
