Israel-Hamas Violence, ‘No Kings,’ and The Great Wealth Transfer

Israel and Hamas test ceasefire, Americans protest authoritarianism, and thieves steal French crown jewels.

Millions joined No Kings protests, expressing a range of complaints against the current administration. And, a heist of precious jewels from the Louvre prompts questions about national identity and politics.
