Israel is calling a surprise ceasefire proposal announced by President Biden inaccurate. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has more.

The president said Friday he outlined a truce proposal that had been pushed by Israel, saying it had been sent to Hamas negotiators. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today, the president only presented part of the previously discussed proposal. Specifically, Israel has disputed a part of the proposal that claimed the Jewish state had agreed to fully withdraw its troops from Gaza in order to free the 125 or so hostages remaining in captivity. Both the U.S. and Israel continued to disagree over the weekend, leading Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nanyahu to release a video reiterating Israel's objectives in Gaza, the elimination of Hamas and return of the hostages. This all comes as Israel confirms the death of four more hostages being held by Hamas. The trial of President Biden's son Hunter began with jury selection today in a Delaware courtroom.

Subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic today. During his opening statement, Fauci doubled down on his stance that funding of gain of function research in Wuhan never happened.

But as Arizona Representative DeBelsko pointed out, Fauci's denial of gain of function research is contradicted by previous testimony from principal deputy director Lawrence Tabick, who said the NIH did in fact fund gain a function at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Lesko points to Tabik saying the failure of the Wuhan Institute of Virology to hand over certain

requested data leaves gaping holes in what actually happened. How do you know? You never went there. I'm telling you that the NIH funded research on these viruses. If someone else somewhere in China was doing something else... Well, and that's the problem because NIH didn't go there. You didn't get the reports that were needed. How in the world would you know?
