Blinken Returns to Israel As Both Sides Deny Reports of Ceasefire TL/DR: "There is currently no truce and humanitarian aid in Gaza in exchange for getting foreigners out," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials as the U.S. steps up diplomatic efforts to help evacuate Americans trapped in Gaza. His return comes as Israel said there is no humanitarian truce (Here's what we know) in southern Gaza after Egyptian security sources told Reuters that an agreement was reached to get aid into Gaza and allow foreigners out through the Rafah border crossing. Hamas said it had no information regarding an opening. Palestinians in Gaza said Israel's overnight bombing was the heaviest yet. Israel's military said 199 people are held hostage by Hamas. Blinken said yesterday that the U.S. is "actively working" to allow tons of aid piling up in Egypt's Sinai peninsula into Gaza. Egypt has made clear that it needs guarantees for its staff's safety before reopening border-crossing. The U.N. warned that many people remained at risk as basic supplies were running out. Iran warned Israel of an escalation if it does not halt its military actions toward Gaza. What happens now? Blinken’s first meeting with Netanyahu is set for this morning. President Joe Biden is considering a visit to Israel in the coming days amid fears that an invasion of Gaza would trigger a wider regional war, but no plans have been confirmed. The U.S. asked its citizens to move closer to the crossing for evacuation but mixed messages may have resulted in chaos as several people arrived at the crossing only to find it closed. The U.S. has appointed veteran diplomat David Satterfield as Special Envoy for Middle East Humanitarian Issues and will "focus on ensuring life-saving assistance can reach vulnerable people throughout the Middle East," National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said. Amid cross-border firing between Israel and the Lebanese Shiite militia, Hezbollah, Israel announced plans to evacuate people living near the border with Lebanon. China's special envoy on the Middle East issue will travel to the region in the coming days. Jordan Faces Steep Battle in Fight to Win Speakership TL/DR: “I’m supporting Jordan. I’m going to vote for Jordan,” Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw said. “As someone who wants Jim Jordan, the dumbest thing you can do is to continue pissing off those people.” Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan faces dozens of holdouts in his party as he seeks to secure the 217 votes he needs in order to become House Speaker, having been nominated by his party on Friday after House Majority Leader Steve Scalise dropped out amid a lack of support. A secret ballot on Friday showed a 152-55 split in support for Jordan as House speaker ahead of an expected vote on Tuesday. Republicans are reportedly being swarmed by an aggressive PR campaign led by Jordan's allies, who are trying to pressure them into voting for the congressman despite his ties to the MAGA movement and former president Donald Trump. One reported high-profile campaigner: Sean Hannity. His show is reportedly asking moderate GOP lawmakers why they aren't supporting Jordan. Jordan's record has been criticized for being ineffective at passing legislation. Ex-Republican staffer Tara Setmayer said his nomination shows the GOP is in "complete chaos." Cleveland.com, which produces content for The Plain Dealer, also published a strong rebuke yesterday, warning Jordan would form an "axis of evil" with Trump if elected. What happens now? Sources believe Jordan will try to rally his fellow Republicans on Monday night ahead of Tuesday’s vote. But while questions have already been raised about Jordan’s political positions, which some moderates view as extreme, external factors may also play a major role, with sources suggesting there is skepticism over his ability to handle issues relating to aid for Israel and Ukraine. If Jordan is unable to secure enough support by Tuesday, CBS News reports that some Republicans would be willing to push for a bipartisan deal that would expand the ability of the current interim speaker Representative Patrick McHenry to move legislation on Israel and government funding. Questions are also being raised as to why Fox News and Hannity are apparently trying to influence how lawmakers vote for House speaker, a role that is second in line for the presidency after the vice president. Trump Lands Parting Shots Ahead of Potential Gag Order TL/DR: “They want to take away my First Amendment rights, and my ability to both campaign and defend myself. In other words, they want to cheat and interfere in the 2024 Presidential Election," Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social last night. Donald Trump has lashed out at the judge and prosecutor in his election interference case, just hours before Judge Tanya Chutkan considers whether to place him under a gag order. Trump accused both Chutkan and the Department of Justice special counsel, Jack Smith, of being "political hacks and thugs" who are guilty of election interference. As the former president faces four felony counts related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, federal prosecutors asked Chutkan to impose an order restricting him from making "inflammatory" and "intimidating" comments about witnesses, lawyers, and others involved in the case. Chutkan warned that inflammatory comments could move up the trial. If a gag order is imposed, she will have to navigate how it's enforced to not fuel Trump's political persecution claims. Law professor, Catherine Ross, told the Associated Press she will need to be wary to not play into "conspiracy theories" Trump's followers tend to advocate for. Although no one has First Amendment rights to intimidate witnesses, legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky says there is "no indication that [Trump's] speech has risen to that level." What happens now? Judge Chutkan has said Trump doesn't have to attend today’s hearing and she hasn't said whether she will decide on the gagging order today. The election trial is set to begin in March. As Trump fights to secure his spot in the White House, the more indictments gained won't necessarily hurt his chances. There is little evidence in the polls that Trump's indictments have hurt his chances in 2024, which is "pretty remarkable," according to Professor David C. Barker, director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University. Trump has seen a boost in his numbers since his first charge. FiveThirtyEight has recorded a nearly 12 percentage-point climb in his average GOP primary standing since March 2023, at 58.7%. Real Clear Politics registered a similar uptick, reporting 57.4% of support. Americans Sour on Uncertain Economy Heading Into Next Year TL/DR: Americans' feelings about where their personal finances will be in the next year fell by 15% over fears of high prices. Americans are pessimistic about their livelihoods as high prices and fears over a decline in their personal finances weigh on their expectations about where the U.S. economy is headed. The University of Michigan's preliminary reading on consumer sentiment came in at 63 in October from 68.1 in September — the third straight monthly decline. Americans expect inflation to hit 3.8% over the next year, more negative than last month when they anticipated it to be at 3.2%. Expectations of high prices could help companies push prices up for goods and services, hampering the Federal Reserve's fight to lower inflation toward its 2% target. Consumer sentiment appears to have dampened amid a rise in gasoline prices and expectations that the Israel-Hamas uprising could push oil prices higher. The "impasse over the next House Speaker...the UAW strike; the restart of student loan payments; and the recent uptick in long-term interest rates" could also be playing a role, Comerica Bank's Chief Economist Bill Adams told Newsweek. Parents who had help with childcare also saw that support disappear last month. Research shows that households spend nearly a third of their income on childcare. What happens now? Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said interest rates may persist, while insisting the U.S. economy is “in a good place.” “Higher interest rates may persist, although that’s not clear,” Yellen told Sky News today. “Our fiscal situation is by no means unsolvable. We have to be attentive to it.” However, Americans feel they may have to live with higher prices for longer. While the latest inflation report showed consumer prices rose in September, underlying inflation trends remain moderate, economists say. They widely expect the Fed to hold rates steady at the end of its monetary policy meeting on November 1 and maintain their guidance that they will proceed cautiously in the near term. Adams warned, "October’s unwelcome rise in inflation expectations is more important than the CPI report in keeping a rate hike on the table at the Fed’s December or January decisions." China's Surveillance Tech Setback in Ukraine Could Open Door for US TL/DR: Consumer spending during China's Golden Week annual holiday increased from 2022 levels but was not enough to replace a slump in real estate spending. The simmering conflict between the United States, its allies, and China and Russia appears to be bleeding into Ukraine's existential fight against the Kremlin's invasion as Ukrainian authorities act against Beijing-backed mega-corporations blacklisted for assisting Moscow's war. Newsweek has uncovered new details of a landmark decision blocking a Ukrainian company associated with a Chinese technology giant from doing business with a regional authority due to concerns over Beijing's close relationship with Moscow and potential undue Chinese influence. The case may set an important precedent for rolling back decades of Beijing's growing commercial presence in Ukraine if Kyiv deems the cost and risk worthwhile. Ukraine's Anti-Monopoly Committee (AMCU) confirmed to Newsweek it blocked Engineering-Analytica LLC, a partner of Chinese tech firm Hikvision, from a public surveillance technology contract worth around $15,000 due to concerns over Beijing's close relationship with Moscow, China was Ukraine's biggest trading partner before the war, and Kyiv has been walking a tightrope between China and its Western partners, economic and military aid from which has been instrumental in Ukraine's survival. What happens now? Economists expect the government to roll out new measures to boost the overall market conditions if no improvement is seen in the coming months. While China has done little so far to curtail stock market fears about defaults by some of its biggest real estate companies, China’s financial sector authorities have now proposed setting up a stock market stabilization fund to boost domestic consumer confidence. Chinese economy expert Bert Hofman said there are a series of reforms in the financial sector and the pension system that Chinese politicians may have to undergo to return to the days of high-growth GDP—which appears allusive at the moment—and boost the confidence in a quest to shore up spending. University Forcing Students With COVID to Leave Sparks GOP Anger TL/DR: The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic is looking into the University of Maryland’s policy that force students with COVID-19 to isolate “at their own expense.” A Republican-led committee has launched a probe into the University of Maryland's COVID-19 policy for students. This week, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic "potentially harmful COVID-19 policies" as students who contract COVID-19 are to be immediately forced into isolation—" presumably at their own expense." The university health center says there is no "designated isolation housing on campus," leaving the committee questioning where $115 million of aid from COVID-19 relief bills went to the school. Chairman Brad Wenstrup branded those rules as "the same negative policies" instituted at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 at the expense of its students. In March, the Select Subcommittee heard testimony about COVID-19 mitigation measures, correlating a link between social closures and increasing mental health issues. 18,139 new COVID admissions nationwide were reported in the week ending September 30, and there have been localized rises where test positivity was at its highest in the same period. What happens now? In an email to The Baltimore Sun, a spokesperson from the committee said they “fully expect the University of Maryland to comply” with the request for a staff-level briefing and “provide transparency to students and parents affected.” The University says they have made decisions that “prioritize the safety of our community” and designed policies in accordance with local and national public health guidance, adding they “stay focused on the health and safety of our community." a spokesperson told Newsweek. It’s unclear whether similar initiatives will go into effect in Fall 2023. However, in light of the emergence of two new variants, EG.5 and BA.2.86, new mask mandates were introduced in health-care facilities and other public places in at least three states last month. Featured Content US Investment Fund Financing China's Military Buildup A U.S. asset management company is continuing to invest in Chinese companies linked to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) despite growing scrutiny, a new report has revealed. The Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) reported that the Vanguard Group has invested in 2,100 Chinese A-share companies, exposing U.S. investors to PLA's subsidiaries despite growing strategic tensions between Washington and Beijing. CPA wrote that Vanguard's fund has invested in "60 subsidiaries of Chinese Military Industrial-Complex Companies (CMIC)" and "20 companies denied access to U.S. technology because they are deemed "Military End Users" (MEU)." One example of Vanguard's investment is an investment into a subsidiary linked to the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), which makes Beijing's most advanced J-20 stealth jet, based initially on stolen U.S. technology. The Vanguard Group has $8 trillion in global assets under its management, making it the second-largest asset manager in the world—and a preferred U.S. investment fund for diversified investment options. The Full STORY Talking Points * "Israel is going after a group of people who have engaged in barbarism that is as consequential as the Holocaust. And ... I think Israel has to respond. They have to go after Hamas. Hamas is a bunch of cowards. They're hiding behind the civilians," President Joe Biden said during a segment on 60 Minutes. * "The many, many Palestinians who have had nothing to do with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas — the vast majority of the population of Gaza — they deserve dignity. They deserve safety and security," U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan urging the evacuation of Palestinian civilians out of Gaza amid a looming Israeli offensive in the region. * "I saw so many terrible pictures this week of children suffering, Israeli children and Palestinian children. It took me back to a really horrible, horrible place. No one in this world deserves to suffer like that, especially not kids." Comedian Pete Davidson in his Saturday Night Live cold open, a week after Hamas-led attacks on Israel. What to watch * On the economic calendar, the Empire state manufacturing survey for October will be released at 8:30 a.m. ET. Philadelphia Federal Reserve President Patrick Harker is scheduled to participate in an event from 10:30 a.m. * U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is scheduled to address members of the Parliament and reiterate "the UK's total condemnation" of Hamas attacks on Israel, his office said. He will also discuss "out the government's approach to the developing crisis."
