Secret Service director steps down amid resignation
calls after Trump assassination attempt-Republican and Democratic
lawmakers called on the Secret Service director, Kimberly Cheatle, to
resign.July 23, 2024, 10:32 AM EDT / Updated July 23, 2024, 11:00 AM
EDT-By Julia Ainsley, Sarah Fitzpatrick, Rebecca Shabad and Tim Stelloh
WASHINGTON
— U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has stepped down after
widespread calls from lawmakers for her to resign following the
assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump, three sources
told NBC News.
An official public announcement on her resignation
is expected later this morning, two law enforcement sources said.In her
resignation letter, obtained from a senior official who received it,
Cheatle wrote that the "scrutiny over the last week has been intense and
will continue to remain as our operational tempo increases." She added
she takes "full responsibility for the security lapse.""In light of
recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult
decision to step down as your Director," she wrote.Cheatle’s resignation
comes a day after she faced questions from angry lawmakers from both
parties who were exasperated over the Secret Service’s failure to
protect Trump.“I’m not going to get into specifics of the day,” Cheatle
testified, citing an ongoing investigation. “There was a plan in place
to provide overwatch, and we are still looking into
responsibilities.”Both Democratic and Republican committee members said
she should resign over her "incompetence" and her "lame excuses."“You’re
full of s--- today!” Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., said, slamming Cheatle
for dodging questions and being “completely dishonest” about her
cooperation with the committee. Her responses didn’t satisfy the leaders
of the House Oversight Committee, which held the hearing Monday, and
who had subpoenaed her.“Today, you failed to provide answers to basic
questions regarding that stunning operational failure and to reassure
the American people that the Secret Service has learned its lessons and
begun to correct its systemic blunders and failures,” Chairman James
Comer R-Ky., and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., wrote in a joint
letter to Cheatle hours after the hearing ended. The two members said
that the committee and American people “demand serious institutional
accountability and transparency that you are not providing,” especially
during a presidential election year. “We call on you to resign as
Director as a first step to allowing new leadership to swiftly address
this crisis and rebuild the trust of a truly concerned Congress and the
American people,” they wrote.Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and several
other top Republicans, including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise,
R-La., and Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso, R-Wyo.,
had called on Cheatle to resign. Before her resignation Tuesday, several
Republican lawmakers had also said that they planned to file
impeachment articles against Cheatle.“She needs to go,” Barrasso, told
NBC News’ Hallie Jackson after a Senate briefing on the shooting last
week.In an interview with ABC News last week, Cheatle said the “buck”
stopped with her.The agency was conducting a review of the incident, she
said, and she did not have all the details about what happened. But
Cheatle said there had been a “very short” period between when the
shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was reported as potentially
suspicious and when he began shooting from a rooftop at the July 13
rally.After a Senate briefing Wednesday on the assassination attempt,
two sources familiar with the proceedings said that window of time was
62 minutes.The sources also said Secret Service agents spotted Crooks on
a rooftop 10 minutes before Trump took the stage, and 20 minutes
elapsed before he opened fire. Trump has said he was shot in the upper
part of his right ear. A former fire official, Corey Comperatore, died
in the shooting. Two others were injured and hospitalized, and their
conditions have improved.

Kamala Harris won't preside over
Netanyahu's speech to Congress as he looks to shore up U.S.
support-“Meeting with Kamala Harris gets a new layer of importance now,”
one expert told NBC News. “Before, it wasn’t seen as the key to this
visit, and now it’s much more significant.”July 23, 2024, 4:25 AM EDT-By

Vice President
Kamala Harris will not preside over or attend Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu's joint address to Congress on Wednesday. Instead, Sen. Ben
Cardin, D-Md. will oversee the event, two Congressional aides told NBC
News Monday.While the vice president typically presides over joint
addresses, Harris is scheduled to be in Indianapolis on her presidential
campaign which she launched on Sunday after President Joe Biden
dramatically dropped his re-election bid and endorsed her in the race
against former President Donald Trump. However she is expected to meet
with Netanyahu separately during his visit.NBC News has reached out to
Harris' office for comment.Cardin will preside over the joint address,
after Sen. Patty Murray D-WA. declined an invitation to oversee the
event, her office confirmed to NBC News. Murray, the President pro
tempore of the Senate, will also not attend the address, which dozens of
liberal lawmakers are expected to boycott.“Securing a lasting, mutual
ceasefire is of the utmost importance right now, and I will continue to
push for one to be reached as soon as possible. I hope Prime Minister
Netanyahu will use the opportunity to address how he plans to secure a
ceasefire—and lasting peace in the region,” Murray said in a statement
to NBC News Monday.The last time the Senate’s presiding officer for a
joint meeting or session of Congress was an Acting President Pro Tempore
for a speech of a visiting dignitary was when Senator Pryor was named
Acting President Pro Tempore for the October 18, 1989, address by Roh
Tae Woo, President of South Korea.Cardin, an orthodox Jew, has been a
vocal advocate for Israel in the months since Hamas' Oct. 7 terror
attacks and amid Israel's ongoing offensive in Gaza.Netanyahu’s visit
comes as he seeks to strengthen Israel's relationship with its closest
ally as he faces mounting pressure to strike a cease-fire deal that
would bring an end to fighting in Gaza where Palestinian health
officials say more than 39,000 people have been killed in the Israeli
offensive in the enclave following Hamas' multipronged attacks on Oct.
7.Before he set off on Monday, Netanyahu said that regardless of whoever
is elected president in November, Israel would remain “America’s
indispensable and strong ally in the Middle East.” He said he planned to
meet with Biden this week, although it is unclear exactly when that
might take place as the president recovers from Covid. Reuters reported
the meeting would likely take place on Thursday.Netanyahu added that it
would be an opportunity to thank Biden “for the things he did for Israel
in the war,” which began after Hamas launched multipronged attacks on
Israel, killing around 1,200 people and taking approximately 250 people
hostage.Netanyahu Leaves Israel for US-An Israeli government spokesman
said Netanyahu would address both houses of Congress on Wednesday in a
bid “to anchor the bipartisan support that is so important for Israel.”
In addition to meeting with Biden and Harris, aides to both Netanyahu
and former President Donald Trump, have also discussed the possibility
of a meeting this week, according to six people familiar with the
discussions.Nimrod Goren, senior fellow for Israeli Affairs at the
Middle East Institute, said Netanyahu appeared determined to give “a
positive spin” to his visit as “kind of a closure period” for Israel’s
relationship with the Biden administration before a new leader takes
power next year.“Whether Biden plays along with it or not, that will be
interesting,” Goren said, adding that the president could use his final
months in office to “put more pressure on Netanyahu” to agree to a
cease-fire deal, enshrining the achievement as part of his legacy.But
Gershon Baskin, an Israeli who has previously advised his own government
and several world leaders on the Middle East peace process and acted as
a mediator with Hamas for decades, said he believed Netanyahu would not
“take Biden very seriously.”“He’s out of the race. He has no chance of
winning. He’s not important to Netanyahu anymore,” he said, adding that
the Israeli leader likely viewed the U.S. leader as “a lame
duck.”Netanyahu’s visit will likely be more “low key” than he might have
initially anticipated, Goren said, as he faces the difficult balancing
act of seeking to appeal to major players with conflicting interests.
Baskin offered a similar analysis.Among those Netanyahu will likely seek
to strengthen bonds with is Harris, who has appeared more willing than
Biden and other American politicians to publicly criticize the Israeli
leader and express empathy for the plight of Palestinian civilians in
the Gaza Strip, former officials and analysts say. NBC News reported in
March that National Security Council officials toned down parts of a
speech by Harris on the need for a six-week cease-fire and hostage
release deal between Israel and Hamas. A Harris spokesperson at the time
called the portrayal “inaccurate.”The vice president has strong ties to
the Jewish community in the U.S., with her husband, second gentleman
Doug Emhoff, becoming the first Jewish spouse of a vice president and
taking on the role of liaison to America’s Jewish community."Meeting
with Kamala Harris gets a new layer of importance now,” said Goren.
“Before, it wasn’t seen as the key to this visit, and now it’s much more
significant.”A meeting with Trump would also likely be a priority for
Netanyahu and would “showcase some political strength” in his ability to
reset relations with the White House should it come under Republican
leadership next year, Goren said. As of Monday, any plans for a meeting
did not appear to have been finalized. One person familiar with Trump's
schedule said Tuesday would be the only day that would logistically work
for the former president.On Monday, Netanyahu met with representatives
of families in the U.S. whose loved ones are among those being held
hostage in Gaza by Hamas. He told them Israel was determined to bring
all of the hostages held in Gaza back, including those killed.The
meeting came as it emerged that two hostages, Yagev Buchshtab, 35, and
Alex Dancyg, 76, had died while in Hamas' captivity. The Israel Defense
Forces said the circumstances of their death were still under
investigation.Netanyahu's visit has been a point of contention in the
U.S. where protests calling for an end to the war are expected. Back
home before he set off families and supporters of Israeli hostages held
in Gaza rallying at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport on
Sunday to call on Netanyahu to focus on striking a deal to secure their
release.Netanyahu is also facing pressure from rights groups after the
International Court of Justice, in a landmark opinion on Friday, ruled
that Israel has violated international law with its occupation of
Palestinian territories, including Gaza, the West Bank and East
Jerusalem.Meanwhile, Israel has continued to ramp up its offensive in
the Gaza Strip. On Monday he IDF on Monday ordered Palestinians evacuate
parts of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Health officials in the enclave
said at least 70 people had been killed and more than 200 injured during
the Israeli military's operations in the area.The IDF said the calls
for temporary evacuations had been made to “mitigate harm to the
civilian population" and later said its forces had struck more than 30
"terror infrastructure sites in Khan Younis."The orders came after
thousands had fled to the city after Israel stepped up its offensive
farther south in Rafah, the city bordering Egypt that the Israeli
military had once declared a safe zone.
Hamas and Fatah sign
declaration on ending decadeslong rift after talks in China-China’s
Foreign Minister Wang Yi called it “a historic moment for the cause of
Palestine’s liberation.” Netanyahu heads to D.C. as Israel launches
deadly strikes in Yemen-July 23, 2024, 7:01 AM EDT / Updated July 23,
2024, 8:47 AM EDT-By Janis Mackey Frayer
BEIJING — Senior
representatives from Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah signed a joint
declaration in China’s capital Beijing on Tuesday aimed at building
unity and ending a decades-long rift as the fighting with Israel in Gaza
rumbles on.The agreement, called the “Beijing Declaration to End the
Division and Strengthen Palestinian National Unity”, was announced at
the end of three days of meetings here and was hailed today as a
breakthrough by China’s Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, who called it “a
historic moment for the cause of Palestine’s liberation.” The deal also
highlights China’s ambitions to be a more significant diplomatic player
in the Middle East and a rival to the United States as a broker on the
global stage. It comes just over a year after China helped broker an
agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia that saw them restore
diplomatic relations after years of soaring tensions between the Middle
Eastern powerhouses, unnerving many in Washington.The eight-point
declaration states that both sides will agree to the “formation of a
temporary national unity government by agreement of the Palestinian
factions,” according to a copy of the document seen by NBC News.It adds
that “the formed government shall exercise its powers and jurisdictions
over all Palestinian territories, affirming the unity of the West Bank,
Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, with the government starting the
unification of all Palestinian institutions in the territories and the
preparation for holding general elections.”The signatories have also
agreed to “resist and thwart attempts to displace our people” from the
Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Jerusalem “and affirm the illegality of
settlement and settlement expansion in accordance with the resolutions
of the U.N. Security Council, the U.N. General Assembly, and the opinion
of the International Court of Justice.” A Palestinian official familiar
with the declaration told NBC News, “the implementation on the ground”
is what matters now.“The preferred way out for Hamas would be to embed
itself in some post-partisan Palestinian governance structure,” Jon
Alterman, the director of the Middle East program at the Washington
based Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank, told
NBC News on the eve of Palestinian talks. “Whether it’s going to be
acceptable to others — the United States, Israel, Europe — I don’t
know,” he added.In a statement, Hamas spokesperson Hossam Badran said
the declaration was an “additional positive step on the path to
achieving Palestinian national unity” and that the groups agreed on
Palestinian demands to end the conflict, including “a cease-fire,
complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, relief and
reconstruction.”President Joe Biden’s administration has proposed a plan
that would ultimately lead to a permanent cease-fire in the Gaza Strip,
as well as the release of all hostages and major post-war
reconstruction. It also envisions a revamped Palestinian Authority to
rule Gaza once the conflict ends. Israel rejected that idea, but has not
put forward a credible alternative for how Gaza will be governed and by
who. China is not directly involved in the U.S.-led efforts between
Israel and Hamas toward a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, but is looking
to stake out a role in post-war reconstruction. China has also made no
secret of its desire to hold an international peace conference, and
hosting Palestinian unity talks is seen as a diplomatic step toward
that.“There is nothing to lose (for China) by hosting such an event,”
Fariz Mehdawi, the Palestinian Authority’s ambassador to China, said in a
recent interview with NBC News in Beijing, “In diplomacy either you do
some good political moves, or it will be considered a failure for
you.”After a first round of meetings in April ended with little
progress, China waited until the participants had left the country
before it announced the talks had taken place. A second round planned
last month was scrapped after Hamas and Fatah pulled out at the last
minute. Power struggles have long split Fatah and Hamas, a divide that
deepened in 2007 with Hamas’ violent takeover of the Gaza Strip
following elections the year before. The rupture has since left the
Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority, governing only parts of the
occupied West Bank and increasingly criticized as having eroding
legitimacy, according to studies by Palestinian Center for Policy and
Survey Research. Israel has exercised power over both the West Bank and
Gaza in different ways.The bitter divisions and the West’s refusal to
accept any government that includes Hamas unless it expressly recognizes
Israel has thwarted repeated attempts at healing the rift. “The
historical divide between Hamas and Fatah is deep, with years of
hostility and ideological differences,” said Maria Papageorgiou, a
lecturer in politics and international relations at the University of
Exeter in the U.K. She added that successfully mediating between the
different factions would be “a major diplomatic win” for China. Mehdawi,
the Palestinian ambassador, said Beijing “cannot call for a peace
conference where the Palestinians themselves are not fixing their home.”
The outcome of the agreement would see Hamas come under the umbrella of
the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Liberation Organization, and for the
PLO to be “the sole legitimate representative of all Palestinian
people,” said Wang Yi, according to Chinese state media.China has “a
strong national interest in being at the grownups table for
international diplomacy,” said Alterman.“China wants to be a part of
whatever grand diplomatic jamboree ends this conflict and it would like
to be a prominent part of that,” he added.
'The disease does not
respect borders' Disease expert warns polio outbreak in Gaza could
spread to Israel-Dr. Lior Nesher says that it is ‘almost impossible’ to
stop the spread of the virus in aquifers; unvaccinated children most at
risk-By Diana Bletter-Today, 4:42 pm-JULY 23,24
With traces of
the poliovirus found in sewage samples in the Gaza Strip last week, the
IDF began a campaign to give polio vaccinations or boosters to all
soldiers serving there.No human cases have been reported so far, but
there is a concern that the poliovirus might spread throughout the
region.“It will be almost impossible to stop the ecological movement of
the virus,” Dr. Lior Nesher, director of the Infectious Disease
Institute at Soroka Medical Hospital in Beersheba, told The Times of
Israel. “The disease does not respect borders.”“It is not an emergency
now, but it does have the potential to affect people who are not
immunized,” Nesher warned.Most of the soldiers are immunized, Nesher
said. The danger, he said, lies elsewhere: When they return from Gaza,
they could “carry the disease through mud, through their clothes,
through their bowel movements.” Then, the disease could circulate
through the country.Polio is a highly infectious disease, mostly
affecting young children, that attacks the nervous system. It can lead
to paralysis and in some cases death.What most concerns Nesher is that
for the past few years, there has been a “reduction in vaccine
compliance in the Israeli population that may cause a polio outbreak in
Israel.”The virus is primarily spread through fecal-oral contamination,
sometimes by drinking contaminated water, poor sanitation, or poor
control of sewage.It can also spread through the underground aquifers,
the subterranean areas under Israel which stores groundwater.In the
summer, when it’s dry, those aquifers are not affected. But in a few
months, when the rainy season begins and there is flooding, the
poliovirus could leak into the Israeli water ecosystem, Nesher said.If
the Israeli water systems become contaminated and there is a reduction
in vaccine compliance in the population, then “there will be an outbreak
of the virus that will primarily affect unvaccinated children or those
who haven’t yet completed their vaccination program.”Herd immunity needs
a herd-Approximately 95% of Israeli children receive the inactivated
polio vaccine (IPV) as part of their routine immunization schedule,
according to the World Health Organization. The Israeli Health Ministry
said that Israel has largely wiped out the disease through an aggressive
inoculation campaign. But the disease is not completely
eradicated.“Before the polio vaccine, so many people got polio and
suffered from a debilitating illness and even died,” Nesher said. “It’s a
safe vaccine. It’s been around for many, many years.”But “if enough
people start to say, I’m not going to vaccinate my kid, I’m going to
rely on someone else,” then, Nesher said, Israel “won’t have herd
immunity against polio.”In the case of measles, if the percentage of
vaccinated people dips below about 92-93%, then there is a breakout of
the disease. There have been upticks in the last few years of both
measles and pertussis because the percentage of vaccinated in Israel is
below herd immunity levels.If polio drops, then “we might have an
outbreak,” Nesher said.“I highly recommend that parents who have not
vaccinated their children or are delaying their vaccinations should
update and continue their vaccination,” he said.Potential for soldiers
to receive a one-time booster-In Israel, the polio vaccination regimen
involves four inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) shots given before the age
of 18 months and another when the child is in second grade. Babies and
toddlers are also given two oral polio vaccine (OPV) doses to provide
full protection and prevent the shedding of the virus through the stool
into the sewage system. It also prevents young children from infecting
others.The polio vaccine is thought to give lifetime immunity, but in
the US, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends
that adults who are at increased risk of exposure receive a one-time
booster dose of IPV (inactivated polio vaccine) to maintain immunity.The
IDF does not have figures on how many soldiers are not vaccinated at
all.“The IDF is now working in coordination with the Health Ministry to
ensure the health of IDF soldiers and the public, and will continue to
carry out inspections in the Gaza Strip,” a spokesperson said.IDF
soldiers were also instructed to take preventive actions and maintain
personal hygiene.The heat, accumulating garbage, sewage, and lack of
clean water are accelerating the spread of diseases, according to the
United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
Rising cases of acute hepatitis and various forms of diarrhea have also
been reported.The war started by Hamas’s October 7 massive attack on
Israel has led to the destruction of large swaths of Gaza and the
internal displacement of the vast majority of its population, resulting
in what has been described as a humanitarian crisis for the Palestinians
living in ruins and tent camps.These conditions have led to outbreaks
of various diseases, which have also impacted the well-being of the IDF
troops fighting there.Alongside the vaccination campaign for soldiers,
the IDF is working with international organizations to bring more
vaccines into the Strip for Gazans.In a statement, the Health Ministry
added that Israeli health authorities were “monitoring and evaluating
necessary steps to prevent the risk of disease in Israel.”

Israel, US, UAE said to have held
secret Abu Dhabi meeting on Gaza postwar plan-Axios reports proposal
similar to that presented by Gallant in January, after senior UAE
official signaled Abu Dhabi could contribute troops to a peacekeeping
force-By ToI Staff Today, 4:11 pm-JUL 23,24
Officials from
Israel, the United States and the United Arab Emirates reportedly held a
secret meeting in Abu Dhabi last week to discuss plans for postwar
Gaza, in an indication that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be
budging from his refusal to seriously consider the issue until the
offensive against Hamas ends.Two Israeli officials told the Axios news
site that the Thursday discussions were hosted by UAE Foreign Minister
Abdullah bin Zayed and attended by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer
and US President Joe Biden’s Mideast envoy Brett McGurk.According to
the report, two senior Israeli officials who had been involved in the
formulation of plans for the Strip after the war were also in
attendance.The postwar plan put forward by the UAE, the report said, is
similar to a proposal put forward by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in
January, which Netanyahu rejected at the time.The war in Gaza erupted
with Hamas’s October 7 massacre, which saw some 3,000 terrorists burst
across the border into Israel by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200
people and seizing 251 hostages amid acts of brutality and sexual
assault.Vowing to destroy the terror group and free the hostages, Israel
launched a wide-scale military operation in Gaza, initially making
tactical advances against Hamas after powerful aerial strikes paved the
way for ground troops.But those early gains have given way to a grinding
struggle against an adaptable insurgency — and a growing feeling among
some Israelis that their military faces only bad options, drawing
comparisons with US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.The day before the
American, Emirati and Israeli officials met, a senior UAE official
signaled that Abu Dhabi was prepared to contribute troops to a postwar
peacekeeping force in Gaza, making it the first Arab country to publicly
buy into the effort being quietly advanced by the Biden
administration.Lana Nusseibeh, who serves as special envoy of bin Zayed,
penned an op-ed in the Financial Times in which she called for the
establishment of a “temporary international mission” in Gaza “that
responds to the humanitarian crisis, establishes law and order, lays the
groundwork for governance and paves the way to reuniting Gaza and the
occupied West Bank under a single, legitimate Palestinian Authority.”The
UAE envoy specified in the article that the PA would have to conduct
meaningful reforms, including appointing a new, independent prime
minister, and then formally invite the international force to enter
Gaza. Accordingly, Israel would need to allow the PA to govern in Gaza
and take steps to move toward a two-state solution and the US would also
have a leadership role in such an initiative, she added.According to
the Axios report, the Emiratis have told the Biden administration the
PA’s newly appointed prime minister, Mohammed Mustafa, is too closely
connected to PA President Mahmoud Abbas to be able to lead the necessary
reforms. Former PA prime minister Salam Fayyad, a critic of Abbas, has
reportedly been put forward as a potential replacement.Washington has
been looking to recruit countries for the effort, as it seeks to
re-install the PA as the ruling authority in Gaza while recognizing that
Ramallah needs time to reform and that a temporary security and
governing force will be necessary to help fill the vacuum so that Hamas
does not regain control.But the Biden administration has had a hard time
convincing Arab allies to come on board, as a key condition of theirs
has been that the temporary peacekeeping force be part of a process
leading to an eventual two-state solution — a framework Netanyahu has
vowed to block.Accordingly, Arab states have been reluctant to publicly
express their willingness to take part in the initiative, not wanting to
be seen as betraying the Palestinian people.US Secretary of State
Antony Blinken has held talks for months with a contact group of
counterparts from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt and the
PA. He has also looped in Morocco, Bahrain, Turkey, Indonesia and others
in an effort to galvanize broad international support for the postwar
stabilization of Gaza.Jacob Magid and Agencies contributed to this
report.
