Yes, however the privacy of the citizens must be taken into protection. Another idea would be to enforce more police action in high crime areas.

Netanyahu's Ultimatum: Release Hostages Or War Resumes

Netanyahu has issued an ultimatum stating Israel will end the ceasefire and resume fighting in Gaza if Hamas fails to release hostages by Saturday at noon, marking the most serious crisis in the ceasefire agreement since its January signing.Hamas announced an indefinite postponement of the planned release of three hostages, claiming Israel violated the ceasefire terms, though this action would constitute a breach of the existing agreement.President Trump has taken a more aggressive stance, calling for Hamas to release all 76 remaining hostages - a demand that goes beyond the current ceasefire agreement's specifications.Israeli officials have clarified that Netanyahu isn't demanding the release of all hostages, but rather wants to continue implementing the first phase if Hamas releases the three hostages as originally agreed.The current agreement's first phase includes plans to release nine more live hostages and return the remains of eight deceased hostages over the next three weeks.Hamas has responded to Netanyahu's ultimatum by stating they will maintain the ceasefire if Israel upholds its commitments, while accusing Israel of various violations including delayed Palestinian returns to northern Gaza.Israeli negotiating team leaders have advised Netanyahu and other ministers against escalation, suggesting they work with Qatari and Egyptian mediators to resolve the crisis.President Trump has proposed a controversial "Gaza takeover" plan that includes relocating Palestinians, suggesting both Jordan and Egypt should provide land for resettlement.King Abdullah of Jordan announced plans to accept 2,000 Palestinian children for medical treatment, while maintaining opposition to any permanent displacement of Palestinians.Arab nations, including Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, are planning to develop an alternative proposal for Gaza's reconstruction that doesn't involve Palestinian displacement.

Jon Stewart Begs Democrats To ‘Please Stop Trotting Out Chuck Schumer!'

Jon Stewart criticized Democrats for repeatedly using Chuck Schumer as their spokesperson against Trump, calling his performances ineffective and monotonous.Stewart mocked Schumer's response to Trump's trade war threats, particularly his simplistic explanation about Mexican imports like Corona beer and avocados.The former Daily Show host expressed frustration at Schumer's basic observation that "guacamole is made of avocados" as a response to complex trade policy issues.Stewart sarcastically highlighted the Democrats' poor strategic choice in selecting Schumer to counter Trump, whom he described as "one of the most savvy presidential media manipulators in history."The comedian ridiculed Schumer's appearance and presentation style, particularly mocking his use of reading glasses positioned low on his nose.Stewart's criticism centered on the Democratic leadership's judgment in repeatedly choosing an "uninteresting" and "monotone" spokesperson.The commentary addressed Trump's threats of tariffs against Canada and Mexico, though focused more on the Democratic response than the policy itself.Stewart used hyperbole to emphasize his point, stating that Schumer's speaking makes him "want to bomb Canada."The piece highlighted the perceived disconnect between Democratic messaging strategy and effective opposition to Trump's policies.Stewart's criticism suggested a broader frustration with Democratic leadership's media strategy and public presentation.

Gavin Newsom Defends Immigrants With $25 Million

Governor Newsom signed legislation allocating $50 million total to protect California's policies from Trump administration challenges and defend immigrants facing deportation, split evenly between the state's DOJ and legal defense groups.The funding comes as California anticipates renewed conflicts with Trump's administration, following over 100 legal actions against his first term policies on issues including climate, water, and immigration.Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas justified the funding by characterizing the Trump administration as "out-of-control" and threatening to Californians' constitutional rights.The signing occurred just after Newsom's Washington visit to secure federal disaster aid for January's devastating Los Angeles wildfires, which claimed more than two dozen lives.California recently enacted a separate $2.5 billion fire relief package, with expectations of federal reimbursement for disaster response costs.Republican lawmakers criticized the legal defense funding as a political distraction from wildfire recovery efforts, with State Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones calling it a "slush fund."Critics raised concerns about the possibility of funds being used to defend immigrants with serious felony convictions, though Newsom indicated this wasn't the intended purpose.The legislation emerged from a special session Newsom called shortly after Trump's election in November, demonstrating California's proactive stance against anticipated federal challenges.During Trump's first term, California initiated more than 120 lawsuits against his administration, spending approximately $42 million on legal battles.Annual legal expenses fighting federal policies during Trump's first term ranged from $2 million to nearly $13 million per year.
