Today’s Headlines: President Biden and Vice President Harris met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the families of American hostages held by Hamas. Harris described her discussion with Netanyahu as "frank and constructive," supporting Israel's right to self-defense while expressing concern over the humanitarian crisis and civilian casualties. She also condemned pro-Hamas graffiti and the disruptions during Netanyahu's speech in Washington, D.C. Netanyahu is set to meet with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago next. Meanwhile, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified about the recent assassination attempt on Trump, revealing potential details about the weapon used but no clear motive. The U.S. GDP grew by 2.8% in the second quarter, driven by consumer spending and business investments. However, a global Crowdstrike outage affected a quarter of Fortune 500 companies, causing significant financial losses. In the western U.S. and Canada, at least 78 wildfires are burning, with some severe enough to create their own weather systems. Finally, the Paris Olympics begin today, with rumors of a performance by Celine Dion and Lady Gaga at the opening ceremony.
