As an uneasy truce between Israel and Hezbollah offers the Lebanese a desperately needed reprieve, Palestinians in Gaza feel abandoned, even as the US pushes for a renewed effort to end the fighting in the enclave.

Plus, the FBI is investigating bomb threats targeting several Connecticut Democrats following a week of swatting aimed at President-elect Trump's planned adminisration.
