The New York Times article covers the Israeli security cabinet's approval of a cease-fire deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon, potentially ending a deadly conflict. It also discusses President-elect Donald J. Trump's legal team finding evidence of a top adviser, Boris Epshteyn, soliciting retainer fees from potential appointees for job promotions. Additionally, Senator Markwayne Mullin criticized the Biden administration for the chaotic evacuation of Afghanistan in 2021, with General Donahue facing challenges in evacuating citizens amidst airport chaos. Supporters argue that General Donahue was put in an impossible position by civilian leaders, and his delayed promotion is seen as a disservice to him and the soldiers who carried out orders in Afghanistan.
