The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

The U.S. Pentagon and President Biden have strongly condemned the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC's charges against the Israeli leaders, including crimes against humanity and war crimes, have sparked a wave of criticism from Israel and the U.S., with both sides rejecting the court's jurisdiction. The ICC's move follows Senate threats of sanctions against the court, adding further diplomatic tension.
