Kansas driver’s license law puts some transgender residents in ID limbo A new Kansas law has effectively invalidated the driver’s licenses and other government-issued documents of transgender residents, leaving many in legal and personal limbo.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that he welcomed Egypt's willingness to advance a deal for the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip.


Earlier in the day, Qatar and Washington's top diplomats said that US and Israeli negotiators would gather in Doha in coming days to try to restart talks toward a deal for a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza.
