After nearly two weeks of restricted air travel due to the war, Israel is officially reopening its skies, with Ben Gurion Airport set to operate 24 hours a day. Minister of Transportation Miri Regev unveiled the country’s new flight framework on Tuesday, outlining the return of commercial air travel and the resumption of outbound and inbound flights to multiple destinations.
Under the new plan, Ben Gurion Airport will operate around the clock, the Haifa airport will function daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Ramon Airport in southern Israel is expected to resume service once it returns to the Transportation Ministry’s jurisdiction.

Extensive triple digit heat, broken temperature records and oppressive humidity piled up into a steaming mess as the heat dome crushing the Eastern half of the nation sizzled to what should be its worst Tuesday. New York City’s John F. Kennedy Airport hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) a little after noon, the first time since 2013. More than 150 million people woke up to heat warnings and forecasters at the National Weather Service expected dozens of places to tie or set new daily high temperature records Tuesday. “Every East Coast state today from Maine to Florida has a chance of 100 degree actual temperature,” said private meteorologist Ryan Maue, a former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist.

A classified U.S. military intelligence assessment has concluded that last weekend’s airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure failed to cripple the country’s atomic ambitions, undercutting public claims by President Donald Trump and his defense officials that the mission delivered total destruction, according to a CNN report. According to four sources briefed on the findings, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) assessed that the strikes dealt heavy damage to aboveground structures but left Iran’s core nuclear capabilities—including its stockpile of enriched uranium and much of its centrifuge systems—largely intact. The analysis suggests Iran’s nuclear program has been set back by mere months, not years, and could resume at pace.

Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon: “I think that President Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.”

Iran’s nuclear chief acknowledged Tuesday that the country’s nuclear infrastructure sustained major damage in the wake of a punishing 12-day Israeli-led military campaign, with U.S. forces joining in the final stage of the strikes. Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said Tehran had anticipated damage to its nuclear sites and is already taking steps to restore operations. “The plan is to prevent interruptions in the process of production and services,” Eslami told the state-run Mehr News Agency. American and Israeli officials believe the bombardment set back Iran’s nuclear ambitions by years.

Q: “Are you still committed to article 5 of NATO?” TRUMP: “Depends on your definition…I’m committed to life & safety. I’m going to give you an exact definition when I get there. I just don’t want to do it on the back of an airplane.”

At a trucking school in New Jersey, students are maneuvering 18-wheelers around traffic cones. Other future drivers look under hoods to perform safety checks, narrating as they examine steering hoses for cracks and leaks. An instructor glides between speaking Spanish and English as he teaches Manuel Castillo, a native Spanish speaker, how to inspect a school bus. They’re using a printed script of English phrases to practice what Castillo would say during a roadside inspection. Brushing up on English has taken on new urgency for future and current truck drivers after President Donald Trump issued an executive order saying truckers who don’t read and speak the language proficiently would be considered unfit for service.
