Today we're covering President-elect Donald Trump's expanded mandate, the concession by Vice President Kamala Harris, and protests in Israel. | | TOP NEWS | | | |
Harris Concedes Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the election to President-elect Donald Trump in a Nov. 6 speech to her supporters in Washington. The remarks came less than 12 hours after Trump won the election after taking several key swing states. They marked the end of a truncated campaign that saw her catapulted to Democratic nominee in early August after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.
In her speech, the vice president confirmed that she had earlier called Trump to concede the election. She said she told Trump she would help him and his team with their transition and that her team would "engage in a peaceful transfer of power."
Trump has accepted President Joe Biden's invitation to meet at the White House during the presidential transition period, a Trump campaign spokesperson confirmed. Biden extended the invitation to Trump during a Nov. 6 phone call in which the president congratulated the president-elect on his victory and acknowledged the importance of a smooth transition and national unity, according to a White House statement.

Protests in Israel Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to sack defense minister Yoav Gallant on Tuesday led to a wave of protests, including a big demonstration that paralyzed downtown Tel Aviv.
As the world focused on the U.S. presidential election, Netanyahu suddenly announced that he had decided to dismiss Gallant and replace him with foreign minister Israel Katz. After the news emerged, thousands of protesters gathered in Tel Aviv, bringing traffic to a standstill in the city center. The crowd, many holding Israeli flags, lit bonfires, blew whistles, and banged drums. Several thousand people demonstrated outside Netanyahu's home in Jerusalem, and elsewhere in the city.
Netanyahu and Gallant have been at odds over the direction of the war in Gaza, and the prime minister said he had made the decision because of a "crisis of trust."

Blaise Pascal, renowned French thinker and mathematician, tackled many of these enduring questions in his classic "Pensées." Most notably, he advocated for faith through the pragmatic "Pascal's Wager."
But as Antoine Compagnon's new book, "A Summer With Pascal," shows, Pascal's intellectual pursuits ran far deeper than this single theological gamble. Compagnon invites readers on a journey through Pascal's nuanced views on justice, human nature, and the importance of seeking knowledge across disciplines.
This doesn't merely describe Pascal's religious journey; it's an exploration of what it means to understand, question, and embrace knowledge. In 41 very brief chapters, Compagnon distills Pascal's wisdom for a modern audience, challenging readers to think more widely and deeply about the world. Whether you're familiar with Pascal or new to his ideas, "A Summer With Pascal" offers a fresh perspective on a mind that wrestled with faith, doubt, and knowledge. | | | | | EPOCH TV | | | | | | OPINION | | | | | | EPOCH FUN | | | |
