With ceasefire talks set to begin, Netanyahu resolved to use “full force” in Gaza until Hamas is destroyed. Bloomberg News has more. The Wall Street Journal’s Mark Maremont explains how a nationwide rise in gun ownerships and stand-your-ground laws contributed to an increase in self-defense insurance policies.

  • Good morning. It's Wednesday, May 14th.

  • I'm Shamitza Basu.

  • This is Apple News Today.

  • On today's show, as ceasefire talks are set to begin,

  • Netanyahu resolves to use full force in Gaza until Hamas is destroyed.

  • Why more American gun owners are turning to self-defense insurance.

  • And the Menendez brothers have been resentenced.

  • They get parole.

  • But first,

  • one of President Trump's first acts in office was to suspend the humanitarian designation meant for refugees fleeing war or persecution.

  • Earlier this week,

  • a group of about 50 white South Africans arrived at Dulles Airport in Virginia under that exact humanitarian designation.

  • They're all Afrikaners,

  • which means that they're sort of a minority white group descended from Dutch settlers in South Africa.

  • Tao Armas covers immigration for The Washington Post.

  • So, broadly speaking,

  • the Trump administration has really tried to crack down on all forms of immigration,

  • both authorized and unauthorized.

  • And this is the first batch of...

  • refugees to have been resettled in the United States since Trump's first day in office.
