Qatari officials have announced that Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend their troops by two days to allow for the release of 20 more Israeli hostages. Daily Wire Senior Editor, Kevin Phillips, has more.

The Pentagon says Hamas will free another 20 women and children during the pause in fighting. This follows the terrorist group's release of 17 hostages yesterday, including a four year old American girl. In exchange, Israel released 39 Palestinian prisoners. Israel has said it would extend the ceasefire by a day for every 10 additional hostages that Hamas releases. Israel has also reached an agreement with Elon Musk to bring his SpaceX company's Starlink communications to the Gaza Strip. According to Reuters, Musk proposed using Starlink to support communications in the blackout hit Gaza enclave with, quote, internationally recognized aid organizations.

Yemen terrorists backed by Iran fired two ballistic missiles at a US destroyer in the Gulf of Aden in the early hours of this morning. This comes after the same destroyer thwart an attempt by terrorists to seize a tanker connected to an Israeli businessman. The chemical tanker belongs to Zodiac Maritime, a UK based firm that is part of Israeli billionaire Ayal Ofer's Zodiac Group. The tanker is believed to have been seized earlier in the day, at which time a distress call was received by the USS Mason. While the USS Mason was responding to the distress call, terrorists unsuccessfully fired missiles at the responding US vessel. It's not clear whether or not they were shot down. Retired Army Major General James Spider-Marx told CNN that we'll likely see more of this moving forward.

Iran has gone back to its proxies, the Houtis being one of those, and saying, Fair game. Do what you need to do. You've got our support. Certainly have our backing. Iran does not pull the trigger, does not authorize each one of these engagements. But certainly the boundaries between what's appropriate and what's not appropriate in their perspective is wide open now, and that's what you're seeing.

As lawmakers return to Washington from Thanksgiving recess, they're expected to pick up where they left off on the debate over approving USAID to Israel and Ukraine. Congress needs to vote on several other critical items, including a defense policy bill and the reauthorization of the FAA. Lawmakers also have to keep their eyes on the two-part deadline to the government. The official calendar for the House only has 12 more legislative days left this year. The House is also expected to take up the issue of whether or not to expel congressman George Santos of New York. The embattled Republican has predicted that he will be expelled from the chamber potentially as soon as this week. Here's what Santos told in BC.

Going to get expelled when this expulsion resolution goes to the floor.

It's a badge of.

Honor for me.

A man accused of shooting three Palestinian college students in Burlington, Vermont, pleaded not guilty to attempted second-degree murder during his arraignment today. The alleged 48-year-old shooter is currently being held without bail as he awaits a bond hearing, which the judge said will be scheduled for some time in the coming days. The three students were shot and injured on Saturday evening while walking to a Thanksgiving gathering at one of their relatives' homes. Police say the gunmen approached them and fired four rounds without speaking. Here's what one man told NBA he heard while standing close by.

We just heard those four shots and we sensed danger, but also we know there's like shooting clubs at UVM. We knew that there were shootings happening all around Burlington, but hopeful optimism that it was just like a school event or someone was shooting a target or something. But I don't know if that's just the conscious wanting to believe what it believes.
