The temporary cease-fire agreement includes the swap of hostages taken by Hamas during the Oct. 7 attack against Israel for Palestinian prisoners held in the Jewish State.
More than 15,000 people have been killed in Gaza and Israel since Hamas launched its largest attack against Israel in decades on Oct. 7, leading to a military response from Israeli forces.
Thousands more have been wounded, and many others have been taken hostage by Hamas and raped, tortured and murdered.
California police are searching for a man who allegedly spray-painted antisemitic graffiti on a synagogue, an apartment complex and a city utility box.
Klinton Dion, 32, is accused of applying antisemitic graffiti to various locations in Burbank, California, on Friday, according to Burbank police. Dion is wanted for a hate crime.
Dion allegedly sprayed swastikas, an iron cross and the "SS" Nazi symbol on Temple Emanu El, the garage of an apartment complex in the 400 block of E. Cypress Avenue and a nearby City of Burbank utility box.
Police said Dion is a transient who splits time between Burbank, Pasadena, Temple City, El Segundo and Los Angeles.
The suspect has a faint tattoo above his left eyebrow, police said.
Leaders of American religious communities and organizations pledged their support to Israel and the Jewish people this week, while urging Congress to "take action now" to help fund Israel’s defense and fight antisemitism.
Faith & Freedom Coalition leaders were joined by more than a dozen religious leaders from across the country in writing a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell this week.
"We the undersigned leaders of American religious communities and organizations, join herein to defend the Jewish people, the State of Israel, and the values that unite us as people of faith," they wrote, noting that the group represents "many faith traditions and have come together, in one voice, to defend our shared humanity against barbarism and terror."
The leaders called Hamas’ "barbaric" terror attack on Israel on October 7 the "most significant massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust."
"In the wake of this horrific terror, antisemitic protests erupted in the United States and around the world. We will not remain silent in response," they wrote.
The leaders noted that despite the antisemitic protests breaking out in cities across the nation, the "majority of Americans continue to stand by their Jewish brothers and sisters in the United States and in the Jewish homeland of Israel."

Nouri's aunt was released by Hamas on Friday. He said that his family was overjoyed when they saw reports that Moshe was on the list of freed hostages.
"We waited anxiously watching the Egyptian TV," Nouri explained. "And the minute we saw the car, the Red Cross car with my aunt inside, we were shouting emotionally and happily that she's released."
"It was like a beam of light in the whole darkness we are in since October 7th," he added.
Nouri says that the entire country of Israel is uniting to help free all the hostages kidnapped by Hamas.
"The country is very strong, is very powerful, and you feel the uniting of everybody, the sympathy and the hugging from everybody, that we are one nation again," he said.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says that 200 humanitarian aid trucks were dispatched to Gaza on Monday, as the pause in the Israel-Hamas war continues.
"8 containers carrying diesel fuel and cooking gas were transferred from Egypt to UN humanitarian aid organizations in Gaza, as part of the pause and the hostage-release framework reached with the U.S. through the mediation of Qatar and Egypt," the IDF said on X Monday.
"The fuel and cooking gas are designated for the operation of vital humanitarian infrastructure in Gaza," the post added.
The vehicles are carrying medical equipment, clean water, food and other supplies to help the Palestinian civilian population.
"200 humanitarian aid trucks are also being dispatched to intl. aid orgs. operating in Gaza," the IDF explained. "The trucks only carry food, water, shelter equipment and medical supplies."
Medical providers are rushing to treat the hostages that were recently released by Hamas amid the humanitarian pause between the terrorist group and Israel.

"Here at the Schneider Children's Hospital just outside of Tel Aviv. 14 people were released yesterday, and we know nine of them came to this hospital," Yingst said. "They were lifted here by a helicopter and they are receiving treatment at this hour."
Yingst explained that none of the nine Schneider Children's Medical Center patients that were released on Sunday are in critical condition.
"All of the patients here are said to be in good condition," he added. "They're being treated by a variety of doctors and psychologists to ensure they have everything they need."
{{#rendered}}President Biden thanked Middle Eastern leaders for facilitating the two day-extension of the humanitarian pause in Gaza, as the Israel-Hamas war inches closer to finishing its second month.
"I have remained deeply engaged over the last few days to ensure that this deal—brokered and sustained through extensive U.S. mediation and diplomacy—can continue to deliver results," Biden said in a statement.
The president also noted that the pause enabled "a significant surge in additional humanitarian assistance to the innocent civilians who are suffering across the Gaza strip," and that the U.S. has worked for years to be the "largest funder of humanitarian assistance for the Palestinian people."
"We are taking full advantage of the pause in fighting to increase the amount of humanitarian aid moving into Gaza, and we will continue our efforts to build a future of peace and dignity for the Palestinian people," Biden's press release continued.
"Today, I want to again thank Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel, Amir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani of Qatar, and President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi of Egypt for their commitment to this process and in reaching the agreement for an extension over the next 48 hours," the statement added. "We will not stop until all of the hostages held by Hamas terrorists are released."
Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations Gilad Erdan thanked Tesla CEO Elon Musk for "condemning the spread of antisemitism" during tech entrepreneur's visit to Israel.
"Thank you @elonmusk for condemning the spread of antisemitism and murderous propaganda against Israel. Now, as you said, it is time for action," Erdan wrote on an X post on Monday.
The Israeli ambassador quickly followed up by calling for X to ban the Iranian government, one of Israel's enemies, from the social media platform.
"Those who call for the genocide of Jews and the annihilation of the State of Israel, such as Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei (I attached only 2 examples of his genocidal ideology) must be banned from X and all social media platforms," Erdan added.
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., clashed with CNBC host Joe Kernen over the Israel-Hamas war during an appearance on "Squawk Box" Sunday.
"Here’s the reality," Khanna told Kernen on the morning business show. "There are 38,000 to 40,000 Hamas fighters. Israel has killed by their own estimates 1,000 to 2,000 and there have been almost 12,000 civilian casualties. Children, killed. I mean, half of whom have been children," Khanna started before being interrupted by Kernen.
"But do you remember that Hamas are holding children in front of them shielding themselves and they started this? They started this by slaughtering 1,400 people," Kernen told Khanna.
Khanna then estimated that attempting to "eliminate all of the 40,000 Hamas fighters" means that the war may result in anywhere from "200,000 to 300,000 civilian casualties," with "50% being children."
That makes the war not only a strategic question, but a "humanitarian" one, Khanna said.
The California Democrat also argued that Israel "ought to diminish the military capability" and "make sure there’s no attack ever again like Oct. 7," which he said was an unlikely possibility given Israel's military response in northern Gaza.

{{#rendered}}Hamas released 11 hostages to the International Red Cross on Monday in the fourth exchange of the terrorist group's ongoing cease-fire with Israel.
The exchange comes hours after Israel and Hamas agreed to a two-day extension to the current cease-fire, which was set to expire Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has expressed openness to extending the cease-fire by one day for every 10 Israeli hostages released.
Hamas released 58 hostages over the first three days of the cease-fire, including 40 Israeli citizens. In exchange, Israel released roughly 150 Palestinian criminals held in Israeli prisons.
Attorney General Merrick Garland visited the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York City on Monday, when he shared brief public remarks about his office’s role in securing the safe return of American hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza.
During his visit, Garland met with U.S. Attorney Damian Williams as well as other federal, state and local law enforcement leaders to discuss the issues in their community. The visit is part of the attorney general’s plan to visit other U.S. Attorney’s Offices across the country.
"While these kinds of meetings between the Justice Department and our law enforcement partners are always important, the current global threat environment makes this one particularly urgent," Garland started his remarks.
"Over the past several days, over 40 hostages who were kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th have been released. Among them was Avigail Idan, a 4-year-old American," he continued. "We welcome Avigail's return and hope to see the return of more hostages in the days to come."
The attorney general, flanked by Williams, said the department’s Victims Services Office, as well as corresponding victim’s services offices within the FBI, were standing ready to "provide assistance to released Americans and their families."

{{#rendered}}Ireland's government is newly pushing an anti-hate speech law in the wake of riots that came in response to the stabbing of a woman and three children outside a primary school in Dublin.
"Language being proposed as law in Ireland means this could literally happen to you for having a meme on your phone," Elon Musk wrote on X, responding to another user who posted a gif of a police raid. Critics are widely slamming the legislation over freedom of speech concerns.
Ireland was trending on Musk’s X Monday, as text circulated of the bill targeting any "offense of preparing or possessing material likely to incite violence or hatred against persons on account of their protected characteristics."
Protected characteristics listed in the bill include national or ethnic origin, as well as "transgender and a gender other than those of male and female."
Tensions in Ireland are running high amid the war in Israel and immigration protests.

Israel and Hamas have agreed to extend their cease-fire agreement for two more days, Qatar's Foreign Ministry says.
Qatar announced the move Monday morning, and Hamas officials confirmed it soon afterward. White House National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby says the agreement will see Hamas release 20 women and children over the two days.
Hamas says the extension will follow the same terms as the previous exchange agreement, under which Hamas delivered at least 10 Israeli hostages for each day of the truce.
So far, Hamas has released 58 hostages, 40 of them Israeli, while Israel has released roughly 150 Palestinian criminals.
Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., appeared on Fox News on Monday and argued that Hamas is dragging out the release of hostages in order to reposition and rearm its fighters.
Waltz' Monday appearance on 'Varney & Co.' comes on the final day of a four-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Israel is now facing heavy pressure to extend the cease-fire in exchange for hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

Former Trump deputy national security adviser KT McFarland joined Fox Business to discuss whether Israel is winning its war against Hamas on 'Varney & Co.' on Monday.
Israel was crushing Hamas forces in northern Gaza for weeks, but that progress has come to a halt thanks to a four-day cease-fire since Friday. Hamas is using the time to recuperate its forces in the other and solidify positions in the south.
Meanwhile, many outside forces are pressuring Israel to extend the ceasefire byond Monday in exchange for more hostage releases by Hamas.
On Sunday evening, when Israeli newscasters announced that 4-year-old Avigail Idan was among the third batch of hostages being released by Hamas from Gaza, it seemed as if the entire Jewish state breathed a collective sigh of relief.
The curly-haired toddler, an American citizen whose parents were both brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists on their kibbutz in southern Israel on Oct. 7, is only one of the hundreds of horrifying stories that have captured the public’s attention here over the past seven weeks.
Yet her release – and that of other Israeli children – as part of a ceasefire deal now playing out between Israel and the terror group that governs the Palestinian enclave can be seen as a clear symbol of the psychological warfare that continues to be waged by the terrorists against Israelis.
"This is psychological terrorism, that is the only way to describe it," Lt. Col. (res) Shaul Bartal, a senior researcher at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar Ilan University near Tel Aviv, told Fox News Digital.
For the past three days, since the truce went into effect early Friday morning with the promise that some 40 children, their mothers and maybe even grandmothers, would be released by Hamas after nearly 50 days in captivity, a real-life psychological thriller – akin, some have said to the fictional survival process themed in Suzanne Collins’ popular trilogy The Hunger Games – has been playing out.
{{#rendered}}Israel and Hamas are in disagreement over the list of hostages set to be released from Gaza on Monday.
Israel has insisted that family groups be kept together and released together, but Hamas says it does not have certain related hostages together in one location, according to the Wall Street Journal. It is unclear how many hostages are expected to be released Monday, but Hamas provided a list to Israel late Sunday.
Hamas has also objected to Israel's release of Palestinian criminals, saying the prisoners with the longest sentences were supposed to be released first. Israel says it never agreed to such a deal.
The disagreement comes as both Hamas and outside negotiators are pushing for Israel to extend the cease-fire agreement in exchange for more hostages. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office had indicated last week that Israel would extend the cease-fire by one day for every 10 hostages Hamas frees.
So far, Hamas has freed some 58 hostages, 40 of whom are Israeli.
Alana Zeitchik spoke with Fox News on Monday after two of her cousins were freed from Hamas, but the effort is far from over.
Zeitchik said four of her other cousins remain in Hamas captivity, and it is unclear whether Israel will agree to extend the cease-fire in exchange for more hostage releases.

{{#rendered}}A New York politician is calling for the resignation of a university president who he accused of finding "moral equivalence between Hamas’ terrorist slaughter of innocent women and children with the contested political agenda of the Palestinian people" in the wake of the October 7 attacks.
In a letter first obtained by Fox News Digital on Sunday, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said Hofstra University President Dr. Susan Poser’s statement last month regarding the Israel-Hamas war is "so misguided and antithetical to good moral values and judgment that it puts into question her ability to lead Nassau County’s largest private university."
"I was shocked by the comments made by Dr. Poser concerning the barbaric and cowardly attack on innocent women and children by Hamas, a vicious terrorist organization," Blakeman, a Republican whose father and uncle both attended Hofstra after returning home from World War II, wrote.
Blakeman, who has also taught Business Law at Hofstra and said many of his friends and colleagues are distinguished alumni, went on to say Poser’s "callous and unconscionable statement is completely out of step with the vast majority of Nassau County residents. With no allies for her in business, labor or government, Hofstra would be wise to part ways with Dr. Poser."
Blakeman’s letter, addressed to the Hofstra University Board of Trustees, came in response to Poser’s October 18 message to the Hofstra Community following the school's fall break. The university president wrote in her message that she wanted "to acknowledge the emails and comments that I and other administrators have received since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th."

FOX News contributor Joe Concha joined 'FOX & Friends First' on Monday and called for the firing of a BBC editor who falsely reported on an explosion at a Gaza hospital last month.
The editor, Jeremy Bowen, says he "doesn't regret" his reporting on Hamas claims that an Israeli airstrike had hit the hospital, despite later evidence showing the explosion was actually due to a terrorist rocket fired at Israel.
“No, I don’t regret one thing in my reporting, because I think I was measured throughout, I didn’t race to judgement,” Bowen says in an interview published by BBC.
“Oh yeah, well I got that wrong," he said when confronted with his reporting that the hospital had been "flattened."

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called for Israel to extend its cease-fire with Hamas in exchange for more hostage releases on Monday.
Israel and Hamas entered the final day of their four-day cease-fire agreement on Monday, which say 50 Israeli hostages exchanged for 150 Palestinian criminals, many of whom were convicted for terrorist attacks.
"I call for an extension of the pause. This would allow for much needed relief to the people of Gaza and the release of more hostages," Stoltenberg told reporters, according to the Agence France-Presse.
President Biden sat down for an interview this past week with a radio host who has promoted the words of infamous antisemite Louis Farrakhan and whose show wished him "Happy Birthday" on social media earlier this year.
"Happy Birthday to the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, who turned 90 years old today!" Radio host Rickey Smiley’s show posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, in May.
White House deputy communications director Jennifer Molina announced on X last Tuesday that Biden recently taped three interviews, including one with Smiley, that "will reach 14 million Americans nationwide, across 140 markets."
Smiley’s Twitter accounts contain several posts promoting Farrakhan with links going back to news articles about his speeches on the radio show's website.
Farrakhan has called Jewish people "termites", praised Hitler, and has become one of the most controversial religious figures in the United States due to his derogatory comments about Israel.

{{#rendered}}A New York City councilwoman unloaded on the failure of "modern progressivism" after students at a Queens high school last week reportedly rioted against a Jewish teacher for attending a pro-Israel rally.
"I was sickened by what I saw at Hillcrest HS, but sadly I was not surprised," Republican New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino told Fox News Digital on Sunday. "Our education system is fundamentally broken, and antisemitic riots like this are sadly the natural result of years of woke leftist indoctrination replacing real education.
"Allowing progressives to gain total control over our institutions was always going to lead to tragic outcomes; they’ve been working to instigate a cultural revolution here for decades, and now those efforts appear to be bearing fruit."
Chaos broke out at Hillcrest High School in Queens on Monday after 11 a.m. when students planned a protest against a female teacher for attending a pro-Israel rally last month, the New York Post reported. Students reportedly checked out the teacher’s Facebook account and found her profile photo showed her attending the rally while holding a sign reading, "I stand with Israel."
Hundreds of students reportedly ran through the school’s hallways with Palestinian flags and chanted in support of Palestinians, the outlet reported. Witnesses said students started a group chat to expose the teacher and planned "a riot" ahead of Monday’s chaos, the New York Post reported.
"Everyone was yelling ‘Free Palestine!’" a senior told the news outlet."Everyone was screaming ‘[The teacher] needs to go!’" another student explained.
Students reportedly even attempted to get into the pro-Israel teacher’s classroom, but were blocked by other faculty members. The NYPD responded to the school, which is located in Queen’s Jamaica neighborhood, at about 11:20 a.m.
