Gaza war to last "several months" | EL PAÍS USA EDITION | | | |
Dear readers, On Thursday, Israel thanked the United States for its support in the form of arms for the war in Gaza and for vetoing a possible UN call for a ceasefire, despite international pressure. Joe Biden has warned that the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is losing support because of the heavy bombardments in the Strip, which the U.S. president described as “indiscriminate” and which have already killed over 18,500 people. However, despite Washington’s desire for a swift end to the conflict, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that there is no end in sight to the fighting. “Hamas is a terrorist organization with an infrastructure underground and on the ground that is not easy to destroy. It will require a period of time of more than several months, but we will win, and we will destroy them."
EL PAÍS interviewed Rahul Gupta, Washington’s drug czar and the first doctor to hold the position in U.S. history. The director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy is in charge of combating the opioid epidemic, which resulted in nearly 110,000 overdose deaths in the country in 2022. Gupta is an advocate of a policy of “harm reduction,” a three-pronged approach that includes making anti-overdose drugs widely available. “Under this administration, we have made naloxone available over the counter, sitting in pharmacies right next to Tylenol and Motrin. But we are also encouraging schools, malls, public places to make sure that they keep making Narcan or naloxone available just like a fire extinguisher or a defibrillator device. Because at the end of the day, they save lives.”
At the COP28 Summit in Dubai, almost 200 countries signed an agreement that for the first time makes explicit mention of the need to transition away from oil, coal and gas, the main causes of climate change. Until now, the emphasis had been placed on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while ignoring the fact that fossil fuels are what cause them. The document represents a historic agreement to the extent that it proposes “transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems in a just, orderly and equitable manner” and “accelerating action in this critical decade” to achieve net zero emissions in 2050. We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from EL PAÍS USA Edition. | | | | | | |
