MNI POLITICAL RISK - US Scores Win At UN Security Council

US
  • The United National Security Council approved a US-backed resolution calling on Hamas to accept a three-phase ceasefire proposal to end the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The resolution, which passed 14-1 with only Russia abstaining, is the first ceasefire proposal backed by the UNSC and a significant diplomatic win for the US which appears to signal that the major world powers are increasingly aligned in their desire to see an end to the war.
  • The UNSC resolution comes amid a press from the Biden administration, led by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, to get the ceasefire proposal over the line. Hamas appears to have responded positively to the UNSC resolution, but Blinken warned that the final word from Hamas leadership is "what counts."
  • The House Rules Committee will today consider around 1,300 amendments to the bellwether National Defense Authorisation Act.
  • President Biden and former President Trump will this week offer a split screen on their vision for corporate America in 2025.
  • The White House is expected to nominate derivatives regulator Christy Goldsmith Romero to head the FDIC.
  • Independent presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has taken a step closer to the presidential debate stage.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) razor-thin majority is set to get a boost today in Ohio.
  • Former President Trump's taped remarks to the Danbury Institute have renewed discussions about women's reproductive rights.
  • Poll of the Day: Biden is leading Trump for the first time since early May.
