Cease-fire negotiations for the Israel-Hamas war are set to begin today in Cairo. Israel has accepted a “bridging” agreement (a short-term contract) that would allow the two sides to hammer out the details of a cease-fire. Hamas has consistently demanded Israel withdraw its military forces from Gaza before any negotiations can begin.
On Friday, the U.S. Treasury and the State Departments sanctioned nearly 400 individuals and entities supporting Russian war efforts. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said, “Companies, financial institutions, and governments around the world need to ensure they are not supporting Russia’s military-industrial supply chains.”
The Treasury Department said it has also targeted Russia’s projected revenue from metals and mining and the technology needed to run the Russian financial sector.
