HEADLINES
Kyiv Secured by Stronger US Security Guarantees
Interpol Rescues 17 Lev Tahor Minors
Nexstar Merger Sparks Fake News Monopoly Fears

The time is now 10:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In a broad briefing tonight, the United States and Ukraine described an updated and refined peace framework that includes stronger security guarantees for Kyiv, even as Kyiv faces pressure over possible territorial concessions and continued Russian advances. Officials stressed that the framework is designed to reassure Ukraine of steady protection while diplomacy continues to address the realities on the ground.

Colombia’s authorities, with Interpol support, rescued 17 minors from the ultra-Orthodox Lev Tahor sect. The group’s victims include nationals from the United States, Canada, and Guatemala. Interpol Yellow Notices were involved in the operation, reflecting cross-border concerns over missing persons and potential trafficking.

In Washington, reports indicate DOGE has been shut down with months remaining in its mandate. Its responsibilities will be reassigned to other federal agencies, and several former DOGE personnel are moving into new positions within the federal government.

On the foreign policy front, Republican Congressman Michael McCaul urged President Zelensky not to accept the peace proposal being promoted by President Donald Trump. McCaul called instead for negotiations toward an “unassailable” security agreement that would guarantee Ukraine long‑term defense. He warned that the Trump proposal could undermine Kyiv’s strategic interests and urged Kyiv to seek strong, meaningful guarantees before any future agreement.

Domestically, President Trump has asserted that the Federal Communications Commission is paving the way for a “monopoly of fake news” in the context of a 6.2 billion dollar Nexstar merger. Newsmax Chief Executive Christopher Rady warned that approval could give hostile forces control of local news reaching a large share of American households. Legal experts have cautioned that the FCC may be acting against federal law in pursuing the deal without congressional consent. Trump also argued that major networks such as ABC and NBC are nearly extensions of the Democratic Party and urged limits on what he calls fake news networks.

Contextually, these strands highlight a United States that seeks to reinforce defense commitments abroad while managing a complex domestic policy landscape. The peace framework for Ukraine underscores ongoing US emphasis on security guarantees in Europe, even as questions remain about concessions and regional stability. The Lev Tahor case illustrates ongoing international policing cooperation across borders. The DOGE dissolution signals administrative reorganization within the federal system. And the domestic debate over media consolidation and regulatory process reflects broader questions about governance and information ecosystems. For international audiences, the thread tying these items together is a focus on security, legitimacy, and the management of power both at home and abroad.
