PBS: Israel opened 2024 with what could be a major shift in the war, announcing it's withdrawing several thousand troops from Gaza. Amid the fighting, Israel's Supreme Court rejected a key part of Prime Minister Netanyahu's judicial overhaul. The plan sparked deep divisions, but they've largely been put aside since Hamas attacked on Oct. 7.

It’s coming to an end, the cocoon of #time between Christmas and New Year’s Day when my work place is closed and I’m free to just exist with few demands. (Except that I hoped to get more done around the house than I did.)
