白宫：希望以色列结束在加沙的军事行动，并对误杀三名人质事件施压。 国会共和党人：要求收紧美国移民政策以换取对乌克兰和以色列的援助。 新闻报道：香港民主活动家黎智英正在接受审判，面临最高终身监禁。 Cat Lawster (NPR记者): 加沙人道主义局势严峻，通讯中断，医院人满为患，疾病蔓延，食物短缺，尽管以色列开放了第二个援助通道。以色列军队误杀三名人质事件引发了以色列国内的震惊和抗议，人们要求达成新的释放人质协议甚至永久停火。 Daniel Kurt Levin (NPR记者): 白宫为了获得对乌克兰和以色列的援助资金，愿意在移民问题上做出让步，共和党人要求收紧边境政策。共和党总统候选人利用移民问题攻击拜登总统，任何妥协都可能激怒进步派民主党人。特朗普利用反移民言论来争取选民支持，这反映了共和党内部对强硬移民政策的胃口。 Emily Fang (NPR记者): 黎智英的审判是北京强硬压制香港反对派的一个象征性事件，旨在震慑异见。香港当局不仅针对黎智英，还打压其他异见人士，包括那些流亡海外的人。黎智英被判有罪的可能性很高，即使被判无罪，他也面临其他指控。
