Israel and Lebanon have accused each other of violating a ceasefire deal, with tensions remaining high between the two countries. In a separate incident, five Democratic members of Congress in Connecticut received bomb threats targeting their homes on Thanksgiving, although no devices were found. President-elect Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum also appear to have conflicting accounts of a phone call regarding migration issues, with Sheinbaum denying Trump’s claim that she promised to close the border. Despite these ongoing conflicts, a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is holding. However, concerns about respiratory illnesses and flight disruptions due to rough weather continue to persist. Additionally, there is a rise in demand for food banks, as well as chocolate prices due to climate change threatening cocoa harvests in West Africa. The Biden administration has also called for Medicare and Medicaid to cover drugs used for weight loss, while airports are being targeted by thieves. Despite these challenges, a small-town Iowa shoe store without a website has gained an international following, and a North Carolina chef prepared Thanksgiving dinner for over 5,000 people. Overall, the news is a mix of conflicts, challenges, and heartwarming stories.
