The looming deficit sits at the heart of a dispute between Israel and Hamas that could topple the tenuous truce.

Israel rejects the accusation, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to withdraw from the ceasefire in Gaza and resume the war if Hamas does not release more hostages on schedule.

Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump's unconventional pick for director of national intelligence, awaited a final Senate vote Wednesday on her nomination to oversee and coordinate the work of America's 18 different intelligence agencies. Initial skepticism about the military veteran and former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii over her past comments sympathetic to Russia, a meeting she held with now-deposed Syrian President Bashar Assad and her previous support for government leaker Edward Snowden has faded among the Republicans who hold the majority in the Senate. Democratic opposition is strong.
