This weekend, Israel disrupted the ceasefire negotiations with Hamas and announced it will stop all aid shipments into Gaza. It wants to try and force the militant group to accept new terms outside of the original agreement. Phase one of the existing deal expired over the weekend, and the two sides were supposed to move into negotiations about a longer-term end to fighting.

But now Israel is calling for just a short-term extension of the truce and the return of half of the hostages remaining in Gaza. Hamas immediately rejected the new proposal and called Israel's halt in humanitarian aid, quote, cheap blackmail.

In West Texas, doctors and health officials have been racing to try and contain a measles outbreak that has sickened more than 140 people and killed one unvaccinated child. The measles death was the first in the U.S. in a decade. The flare-up of cases, which has now spread to New Mexico, is shining a harsh spotlight on the federal response.

Experts say that the Department of Health and Human Services, run by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has been underplaying the best way to control the disease, vaccines. Kennedy used to run an anti-vaccine nonprofit and has claimed in the past that, quote, measles outbreaks have been fabricated to create fear.

The federal government didn't send out a substantive notice about the outbreak until a month after the first cases were reported. And in televised remarks at a cabinet meeting last week, Kennedy didn't mention vaccination at all. In an opinion piece published yesterday, though, he did urge parents to talk to their doctors about vaccinating their kids.

The relatively muted response is a sharp contrast to how a measles outbreak during President Trump's first term was handled. At that time, officials led an intense public campaign to raise awareness about vaccines. That led to more than 60,000 people getting vaccinated.
