Biden hails ceasefire agreement between Israel, Hezbollah
President Joe Biden hailed a US and French-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah on Tuesday, saying he hoped it could be a springboard to peace in Gaza too. It was a rare boost for Biden as he prepares to leave the White House and hand over to President-elect Donald Trump on January 20. After over a year of cross-border fire and two months of all-out war in Lebanon, Biden said the deal was designed to be a "permanent cessation of hostilities" between Israel and Hezbollah. However, hostilities continued up until the deal was set to begin at 4 a.m. local time.

Trump to create 'AI Czar' with Musk's help

President-elect Donald Trump is likely to create a new White House post to oversee federal policies and governmental use of artificial intelligence. The proposed "AI czar" would be selected with help from billionaire Trump confidant Elon Musk, who owns an AI company, and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, citing sources on Trump's transition team. Trump recently appointed both men to lead a new, independent Department of Government Efficiency.

Rudy Giuliani was slapped by a federal judge Tuesday for not showing "anything close to due diligence" regarding evidence requirements to the election workers he defamed in 2020. The blowup came after the judge took the keys to his prized 1980 Mercedes-Benz SL500 convertible, which he drove to a polling station earlier this month. Judge Lewis Liman also ruled that Giuliani won't be allowed to skip an upcoming court date in order to attend Donald Trump's inauguration.
