The White House is set to hold a trilateral meeting between U.S., Egyptian and Israeli officials in Cairo next week to discuss the reopening of the Rafah crossing and a plan for securing the border between Egypt and Gaza, three U.S. and Israeli officials said.A plan for reopening the crossing, preventing Hamas from smuggling weapons into the Strip from Egypt and maintaining a tenuous peace between Israel and Egypt are top priorities for the Biden administration.The administration also views Egypt as a key player in any post-war plan for the stabilization and reconstruction of Gaza.A U.S. delegation headed by the senior director for the Middle East at the White House National Security Council Terry Wolff is expected to travel to Egypt in the coming days.The trip was agreed on during a phone call last Friday between Biden and Egyptian president Abdul Fattah el-Sisi.During the call, Sisi agreed to Biden's request to resume the flow of aid trucks into Gaza through Israel, after deliveries were halted two weeks ago in protest of Israel's takeover of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing.A U.S. official said Biden told Sisi that if the delivery of aid trucks wasn't resumed, the U.S. would publicly criticize Egypt for it.He promised the Egyptian president that if the flow of aid was resumed, the U.S. would work to reopen the Rafah crossing as soon as possible, the U.S. official said.

Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz’s party submitted a bill to dissolve parliament, in a move analysts said is unlikely to lead to a vote soon but opens the door for a battle over elections as early as this summer.Gantz, a longtime rival of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said earlier this month that he would take his centrist National Unity party out of the government on June 8 if the Israeli leader doesn’t articulate a plan for ending the war in Gaza and securing the enclave, among other demands.Since then, Netanyahu has signaled he has no intention of acceding to Gantz’s demands. His Likud party said Thursday that dissolving the government would be a gift to Israel’s enemies and hurt efforts to return hostages captured in Hamas’s deadly Oct. 7 attacks.Gantz, a former head of the Israeli military, took his party into the government shortly after the attacks. His party has enjoyed a comfortable lead over Likud in the polls since Oct. 7, but in recent days the trend has begun to move back in Netanyahu’s favor.Gantz, a former head of the Israeli military, took his party into the government shortly after the attacks.

In January, anger over Republican restrictions on abortion in the state led a Democrat, Tom Keen, to flip a state House seat in Orlando. Democrats aren’t pretending they can do the same thing with the state’s presidential vote, which is still likely to go to Donald Trump, but they believe championing reproductive freedom can help them regain a foothold in the statehouse in Tallahassee. They are eyeing a long-term strategy that begins with flipping at least five state House seats this November, unseating a Republican supermajority.Anger over Republican-backed abortion bans may give Democrats an edge in November. But to build a lasting political coalition, Democrats in Florida and elsewhere may discover that the winning formula is as unglamorous as it is old: Find their voters, all of them. And give them every reason to head to the polls.Nikki Fried, the last Democrat elected to statewide office in Florida — over half a decade ago, as agriculture commissioner — dug her heels into the carpeted floor. “It’s going to be women that are going to get us out of this,” Ms. Fried, now Florida’s Democratic Party chair, told a roomful of statehouse candidates, all of them women.The Democrats had gathered in Miami to plot a comeback in Florida, where they have been largely ousted from power. Central to their efforts is building on anger over the state’s new six-week abortion ban, which is among the most extreme in the country and is opposed by a majority of Florida voters, who have consistently said in polls they wanted more access to reproductive care, not less.

“An aspiring Mayor was shot dead in southern Mexico on May 29 during a campaign rally,” the Guerrero state Governor said, the latest in a string of attacks ahead of weekend elections.A video published by local media showed a person approaching Alfredo Cabrera and shooting him several times, causing chaos and panic among people attending the event. Guerrero Governor Evelyn Salgado condemned the "cowardly" murder of Cabrera, a candidate for an Opposition coalition in the town of Coyuca de Benitez.Writing on social media platform X, she said she had asked the state prosecutor's office to bring "the full weight of the law against the person or persons responsible." The prosecutor's office later announced that the alleged attacker had been killed at the scene.The government said on Tuesday that at least 22 people running for local office had been murdered since last September. Some non-governmental organisations have reported an even higher number, including Data Civica, which has counted around 30 murders of local politicians.
