Congressman Jim McGovern lays into Trump's CFTC chair over insider trading at Polymarket and Kalshi, especially the fact that Donald Trump Jr. is on the board of both companies, and could be using his knowledge to profit: "I mean, the president's son is on the board of both multi-billion dollar prediction market companies. So it seems to me like the only reason two competing companies hired the same person is because they think he must be really, really, really valuable. I mean, I wonder why they would think that, right? ... Just before 7:00 AM on Monday, March 23rd, someone placed roughly $500 million in oil and equities, future trades betting that oil prices would plummet and the market would rally. And at 7:04 AM. President Donald Trump posted, on Truth Social that the US had begun ceasefire talks. Now, whoever placed that bet knew what the president was about to post, um, and made a lot of money off of that ... You and I both know that the odds of that bet is a billion to one, and I have one example after another of similar bets. There was no public information about ceasefire talks. These are decisions that are made in the White House at the highest levels decisions that very, very, very few people know about until the president posts them. So yes or no, Mr. Selig, do you think the president's top staff would have that knowledge about a ceasefire? ... Do you think the president's family would have knowledge of that, what about Donald Trump Jr. Do you think he would've known that maybe an announcement of a ceasefire was coming?"

UNICEF is outraged by the killing of two drivers of trucks contracted by UNICEF to provide clean water to families in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli military reporters say 55 towns and villages in south Lebanon will remain occupied by Israeli troops. The Lebanon ceasefire agreement will impose a ‘yellow line’ similar to Gaza. Those civilians will not be permitted to return to their homes cut off by the ‘yellow line’ - ‘and the IDF is authorized to continue destroying terror infrastructures in them even during the ceasefire’, according to the Israeli reporters who were briefed by the military




אתמול בלילה, מתנחלים בגיבוי הצבא חסמו לחלוטין את הדרך בין דומא למערג׳ם וחתכו קווי מים. יום לפני כן, הם הרסו מצלמות אבטחה, פנלים סולריים וקווי חשמל. כל זה מתרחש בתוך שטח צבאי סגור- והצבא לא מניד עפעף. להפך, הוא מגבה אותם. האם זו הכנה לפוגרום?
