Quick Glance: Overcoming Hamas Challenge Amid Israel's Approach to Victory
- Despite the Israeli prime minister's assertion of being on the brink of defeating Hamas, indications suggest the cruel terror group will emerge undefeated.
- Persistently emphasizing relentless pursuit of 'total victory,' Netanyahu's aspirations may not align with reality.
- Hamas stands as a sophisticated underground organization - in the most literal and metaphorical sense.
- Israel's failure to devise a post-war strategic plan for governing Gaza echoes the missteps of the Americans in Baghdad in 2003.

Quick Glance: Defense Secretary Austin Affirms Long-Term U.S. Support for Ukraine Amid Congressional Funding Standstill
- Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized on Tuesday that the U.S. will continue to support Ukraine's efforts in the war against Russia, even as the U.S. Congress remains stuck due to funding reluctance to send additional weapons to the front.
- The conference took place a week after U.S. defense officials found and utilized $300 million in contract savings to finance a new package of military aid for Ukraine by extracting weapons from Pentagon stocks.
- U.S. leaders had stated in the past three months that they could not take more weapons off the shelves because they lacked the money to replenish the stocks. The Congress has been deadlocked for months over a new $95 billion supplemental bill that includes about $60 billion in aid for Ukraine.
- UNESCO indicates that Ukraine requires over a billion dollars to reconstruct its scientific infrastructure.
