From CNN: House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mike McCaul (R - Texas) said Speaker Johnson showed true leadership. “Johnson said, ‘I want to be on the right side of history.’ This is a real profile in courage.” McCaul drew analogies between the US posture toward Putin and Britain’s appeasement of Nazi Germany under one prime minister (Chamberlain) and the stalwart resistance of his successor (Churchill). “As we deliberate on this vote, you have to ask yourself this question: Am I Chamberlain or Churchill?” he said.

NPR (National Public Radio) reports that the International Court of Justice has found it "plausible" that Israel has committed genocide.
The International Court of Justice has found it is "plausible" that Israel has committed acts that violate the Genocide Convention. In a provisional order delivered by the court's president, Joan Donoghue, the court said Israel must ensure "with immediate effect" that its forces not commit any of the acts prohibited by the convention. Donoghue said the court cannot make a final determination right now on whether Israel is guilty of genocide. But she said that given the deteriorating situation in Gaza, the court has jurisdiction to order measures to protect Gaza's population from further risk of genocide.
