U(D54G1D)y+$!"!]!?!# CAIRO — Violence between Is- raelis and Palestinians expanded in new directions on Friday, with deadly clashes convulsing the oc- cupied West Bank and anti-Israeli protests erupting along Israel’s borders with two Arab neighbors. The widening sense of mayhem in Israel and the Palestinian terri- tories came as Israeli airstrikes brought mass evacuations and fu- nerals to Gaza, and as Hamas rockets singed Israeli towns for a fifth consecutive day. Hamas and Israeli officials sig- naled they were open to dis- cussing a cease-fire amid global calls for peace and frantic diplo- macy aimed at heading off a fur- ther fracturing in one of the Mid- dle East’s most intractable strug- gles. But the violence, which has me- tastasized with startling velocity compared with previous Israeli- Palestinian conflicts, was finding new footholds and threatening the veneer of Israeli society in ways not seen before. By Friday evening, Israel faced furious demonstrations in at least 60 places across the West Bank and new protests just across the borders with Jordan and Leba- non, all atop the vigilante violence between Arabs and Jews within Israel, and the continuing battle with Gaza militants. The Israeli military claimed to have significantly weakened Ha- mas in its latest offensive by killing dozens of high-ranking commanders and damaging the militant group’s network of tun- nels under Gaza. It was unclear if such losses prompted a Hamas spokesman, Fawzi Barhoum, to tell Al Jazeera on Friday night that the group would consider negoti- ating a “calming” in the fighting if Israel complied with unspecified demands about “lifting its hand” from Gaza and the sites of clashes in Jerusalem. Israeli media quoted anony- mous Israeli security officials say- ing they would be open to cease- fire talks. As Gazans waited to hear what might come next, their misery was deepening: Power was down to five hours a day in some places, and water came out of the pipes only once every few days. Efforts to contain what had been a wors- ening coronavirus infection crisis in Gaza all but collapsed. But if the coastal strip’s immedi- ate future was murky, the multi- plying front lines of the conflict made it even harder to forecast SURGE IN VIOLENCE DROWNS OUT CALLS FOR CALM IN ISRAEL Vigilante Attacks and West Bank Clashes as Threats Grow in Gaza Conflict By VIVIAN YEE Israeli ground forces at a staging area near the border with Gaza on Friday.

But mask mandates remained in force for New York- ers, New Jerseyans and Californi- ans. So unexpected was new federal guidance on masks that in Kansas City, Mo., Mayor Quinton Lucas went from saying he would not change his mask order, to saying he would think about it, to an- nouncing that he was getting rid of it altogether, all in the span of about seven hours. Across the country, governors, store owners and people running errands were scrambling on Fri- day to make sense of the abrupt change in federal guidelines, which said fully vaccinated people could now safely go most places, indoors or outdoors, without a mask. At least 20 states that still had mask mandates in place this week said by Friday evening that they would exempt fully vaccinated people or repeal the orders en- tirely, while at least five others with mask requirements had not announced any changes. The rap- idly changing rules brought an end to more than a year of manda- tory masking in much of the coun- try, even as some said they were not yet ready to take off their face coverings. “I’m going to wear a mask for a long time to come,” said Fanny Lo- Flummoxed, U.S. Sorts Out Mask Policies This article is by Edgar Sandoval, Kate Taylor and Mitch Smith.

The deal, negotiated by the Pen- tagon official who oversees the military commissions that serve as a court for some detainees, was reached in recent weeks, and comes as a number of those who have been charged at Guantá- namo are seeking to cite their abuse at the hands of the C.I.A. as part of their defense. Under the deal, the prisoner, Majid Khan, 41, who has pleaded guilty to serving as a courier for Al Qaeda, would complete his prison sentence as early as next year and no later than 2025 and then could be released to another country, as- suming one will take him, accord- ing to people who have seen the terms or are familiar with its de- tails. In exchange, Mr. Khan will not use his sentencing proceedings to invoke a landmark war court deci- sion that allowed him to call wit- nesses from the C.I.A.’s secret prison network to testify about his torture.

He kept a ceramic skull on his desk, as a reminder of the inevitability of death. Sister Aletheia, a punk fan as a teenager, thought the morbid curio was “super punk rock,” she recalled recently. She thought vaguely about acquiring a skull for herself someday. These days, Sister Aletheia has no shortage of skulls. People send her skull mugs and skull rosaries in the mail, and share photos of their skull tattoos. A ceramic skull from a Halloween store sits on her desk. Her Twitter name includes a skull and crossbones emoji. That is because since 2017, she has made it her mission to revive the practice of memento mori, a Latin phrase meaning “Remem- ber your death.” The concept is to intentionally think about your own death every day, as a means of appreciating the present and fo- cusing on the future. It can seem radical in an era in which death — until very recently — has become easy to ignore. “My life is going to end, and I have a limited amount of time,” Sister Aletheia said. “We natu- rally tend to think of our lives as kind of continuing and continu- ing.” Sister Aletheia’s project has reached Catholics all over the country, via social media, a me- mento mori prayer journal — even merchandise emblazoned with a signature skull. Her followers have found unexpected comfort in grappling with death during the coronavirus pandemic. “Memen- to mori is: Where am I headed, where do I want to end up?” said Becky Clements, who coordinates religious education at her Catholic parish in Lake Charles, La., and has incorporated the idea into a curriculum used by other parishes in her diocese. “Memen- to mori works perfectly with what my students are facing, between the pandemic and the massive hurricanes.” Ms. Clements keeps a large resin skull on her own desk, inspired by Sister Aletheia. Sister Aletheia rejects any sug- gestion that the practice is mor- bid. Suffering and death are facts of life; focusing only on the “bright and shiny” is superficial and inauthentic. “We try to sup- press the thought of death, or es- cape it, or run away from it be- cause we think that’s where we’ll find happiness,” she said. “But it’s actually in facing the darkest re- alities of life that we find light in them.” A Nun’s Words of Comfort: ‘You Are Going to Die’ By RUTH GRAHAM Sister Theresa Aletheia Noble wants you to think about death.

It was late March, and Presi- dent Biden was under increasing pressure to penalize President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia for election interference and the big- gest cyberattack ever on Ameri- can government and industry. “I have to do it relatively soon,” he said to Jake Sullivan, his national security adviser. Mr. Biden had already spent the first two months of his presidency debating how to respond to Mr. Putin, and despite his acknowl- edgment in March that he needed to act quickly, his deliberations were far from over. He convened another meeting in the Situation Room that stretched for two and a half hours, and called yet another session there a week later. “He has a kind of mantra: ‘You can never give me too much de- tail,’” Mr. Sullivan said. Quick decision-making is not Mr. Biden’s style. His reputation as a plain-speaking politician hides a more complicated truth. Before making up his mind, the president demands hours of de- tail-laden debate from scores of policy experts, taking everyone around him on what some in the West Wing refer to as his Socratic “journey” before arriving at a con- clusion. Those trips are often difficult for his advisers, who are peppered with sometimes obscure ques- tions. Avoiding Mr. Biden’s ire during one of his decision-making seminars means not only going beyond the vague talking points that he will reject, but also steer- ing clear of responses laced with acronyms or too much policy mi- nutiae, which will prompt an out- burst of frustration, often laced with profanity.
