President Biden said Wednesday that he was "outraged" by the killing of an American activist by an Israeli soldier last week and that Israel needs to take "full accountability" for the incident.The big picture: Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, was shot in the head during a protest in the town of Beita last Friday. The Biden administration had pressed Israel to swiftly provide information on the incident, and the IDF investigation was concluded unusually fast due primarily to the fact that she was an American."I am outraged and deeply saddened by the death of Aysenur Eygi," Biden said in a statement Wednesday, calling her shooting "totally unacceptable."While he said there needs to be "full accountability" for the matter, Biden appeared to back Israel's claim that the shooting was accidental, calling it a "tragic error resulting from an unnecessary escalation.""Israel must do more to ensure that incidents like this never happen again," Biden added.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) suggested Elon Musk serve as Speaker in a Thursday morning post on X following contentious debates over the continuing resolution (CR).“The Speaker of the House need not be a member of Congress . . . ,” Paul wrote.“Nothing would disrupt the swamp more than electing Elon Musk . . . think about it . . . nothing’s impossible. (not to mention the joy at seeing the collective establishment, aka ‘uniparty,’ lose their ever-lovin’ minds).”Later Thursday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said she would be open to supporting Musk to replace Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in a post quoting Paul.“I’d be open to supporting @elonmusk for Speaker of the House. DOGE can only truly be accomplished by reigning in Congress to enact real government efficiency,” Greene wrote on X.“The establishment needs to be shattered just like it was yesterday. This could be the way,” she added.Musk is the co-leader of President-elect Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), an advisory panel focused on cutting spending and the size of the federal government.He and fellow DOGE co-leader Vivek Ramaswamy helped drive a wave of opposition to a bipartisan spending deal Wednesday, ultimately ending in Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance urging Republicans to oppose the measure.

A complaint unsealed Tuesday in federal court in Brooklyn charges Asif Merchant, 46, of Pakistan, with a murder-for-hire plot to assassinate a politician or U.S. government official on American soil. Authorities said they foiled the plot before any violence could be attempted — in part because the people Merchant allegedly tried to hire were undercover FBI agents.According to court documents, Merchant in June met with what he thought were hit men, and told them he would have a number of assignments for them, including an assassination of targets whom he would identify later.Merchant was arrested, according to court papers, on July 12 — one day before a 20-year-old man in Pennsylvania fired shots during a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., grazing Trump’s ear. Investigators do not believe the Iranian plot and the actions by the Pennsylvania gunmen are related, according to law enforcement officials.The alleged Iranian-backed plot, however, had raised concerns about Trump’s safety in the weeks before the shooting, according to U.S. officials familiar with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions.
