Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine.

The strikes hit multiple locations, including an apartment building in Gaza City, a tent camp in Khan Younis, and a police station in Gaza City. Among the casualties were at least six children and two women. Shifa Hospital reported that the police station strike killed at least 11 people, including officers and detainees.

The attacks occurred a day before the Rafah crossing with Egypt is scheduled to reopen, a critical step in the second phase of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire. The crossing is seen as vital for tens of thousands needing medical treatment outside Gaza, where much of the medical infrastructure has been destroyed. Saturday’s strikes underscore that violence continues even as talks progress, with Hamas condemning the attacks and calling on mediators to press Israel to halt its strikes. Since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, Gaza’s Health Ministry has recorded 509 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire.
