The shutdown will be temporarily put on hold until December 3… with the vote of 254 -to-175 including some Republicans also voting in favour of the measure.

This all comes just hours before government funding was due to stop completely… with the bill now heading to President Biden’s desk to be signed.

Prior to making it to Congress, Senate lawmakers also approved the last-minute bill, in a vote of 65-to-35.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says the stopgap bill will also “provide funding to help process and resettle Afghan refugees and finally deliver on critical disaster aid for Americans battered by storms and wildfires”.

Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said earlier that policymaking on Capitol Hill is messy, but this is democracy in action.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
