Now turning to international news...
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says she plans to seek sanctions and a partial trade suspension against Israel over its war on Gaza.
The 27-nation EU is deeply divided in its approach to Israel and Palestine, and it's unclear whether a majority will be found to endorse the sanctions and trade measures.
Von der Leyen added that the commission "will set up a Palestine donor group next month," part of which will focus on Gaza's reconstruction.
Von der Leyen said that the events in Gaza and the suffering of children and families “has shaken the conscience of the world.”
