Israeli President Reuven Rivlin struck a message of unity and warned against incitement during a state memorial service on Sunday for the late prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated in 1995.
“Twenty-four years after the murder and it is as if the question of our joint fate still remains open,” Rivlin said. “The nightmare that none of us thought could happen turned into reality. The fear that we will, with our own hands, bring about our own downfall, remains etched in our consciousness.”

Blue and White leader Benny Gantz was booed Sunday as he entered the wedding of the son of charedi lawmaker Yaakov Asher, where protesters called him a “terrorist” and told him to “go to the Arabs.”
However, inside the function, Gantz was warmly welcomed, Hebrew media reported.
Gantz is currently trying to form a government, and one of the main stumbling blocks has been Blue and White’s insistence that a coalition unity government not include the ultra-Orthodox parties. Asher is a lawmaker from the United Torah Judaism Party.

House Republicans have demanded testimony from Hunter Biden, the anonymous Ukraine whistleblower and a long list of other witnesses in the President Trump impeachment hearings set to start Wednesday.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who has unilateral power to deny the GOP’s witness wishes, said he was “evaluating” the Republicans’ list.
“This inquiry is not and will not serve, however, as a vehicle to undertake the same sham investigations into the Bidens or 2016 that the president pressed Ukraine to conduct for his personal political benefit,” Schiff added.

President Trump took to Twitter late Sunday to urge Iran to release the retired FBI agent who had been missing in the country since 2007 and said it would be a very positive step toward easing tensions between the two countries since provocations on the Strait of Hormuz.
Robert Levinson’s disappearance has been the source of intrigue. He vanished during an unauthorized CIA mission. Iran acknowledged on Sunday that there is an open Revolutionary Court case involving Levinson.
“If Iran is able to turn over to the U.S. kidnapped former FBI Agent Robert A. Levinson, who has been missing in Iran for 12 years, it would be a very positive step,” Trump tweeted.
If Levinson is alive, he would be the longest-held prisoner in U.S. history.

The president signed an executive order to end DACA in 2017, as he believes it gives the president ‘extraordinary powers’.

Evo Morales, South America’s longest-serving president and a towering figure for the region’s left-wing movements, resigned after election irregularities triggered weeks of violent clashes and intervention from the armed forces.
Morales said he was leaving office to avoid violence, adding that he wouldn’t flee the country, since he hadn’t stolen anything. He pointed to the economic progress of the country and said in his resignation speech that he was the victim of a coup and called for the international community to intervene.
The nation plunged into more chaos late Sunday with reports of fires and looting, as well as confusion over the succession after the three officials who were next in line to replace Morales stepped down.
