Police recovered the vehicle hours later in Vallejo and have identified a suspect for whom a warrant is active; the Oakland Police Department is investigating. Mayor Lee issued a brief statement stressing public safety and saying authorities cannot comment further while the probe continues, and city officials promised reviews. (cbsnews.com)
President Trump announced that the United States will contribute $10 billion to the newly formed “Board of Peace,” which he chairs, pledging the funds at its inaugural meeting to support Gaza reconstruction. He did not specify where the money would come from or whether Congress would approve the transfer. Around two dozen countries attended and pledged roughly $6.5–7 billion more, with the World Bank named as trustee for pooled donations. Organizers presented a reconstruction plan but offered few details on disarming Hamas or oversight. Critics called the unilateral pledge a potential slush fund and widely questioned its legality and transparency. (washingtonpost.com)
