A significant development in the Middle East peace process emerged as Jared Kushner, a Trump envoy, met with a Hamas leader to discuss a plan for Gaza, a story covered by multiple major outlets. Meanwhile, in Brazil, former President Lula has launched a bid for a historic fourth term, but faces opposition from the son of jailed former President Bolsonaro. In other global news, Hurricane Lala has weakened to a tropical storm, although flooding continues to affect Hawaii, and the US has announced plans to scale back military drills with South Korea, as stated by Trump.
