More than 200,000 Jewish settlers have since moved into the city's eastern sector, fuelling tensions with Palestinians, who claim it as the capital of their future state.

[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona\"]‘The data released today once again make clear that the Biden-Harris Administration’s relentless efforts to fix the broken student loan system are paying off in a big way.’[/pullquote]Combined, the Biden administration said it had approved the cancellation of nearly $132 billion in federal student loan debts for more than 3.6 million Americans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The data released today once again make clear that the Biden-Harris Administration’s relentless efforts to fix the broken student loan system are paying off in a big way. … ” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a statement. “This level of debt relief is unparalleled, and we have no intention of slowing down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement is the latest result of a complex, slow-moving “account adjustment” the Department promised in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/04/19/1093310151/student-loans-income-based-repayment\">April 2022\u003c/a>.

Britain — which had governed Palestine since 1922 — referred the issue to the United Nations. The U.N. General Assembly voted in 1947 to divide Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-Nations-Resolution-181\">partition plan\u003c/a> was rejected by the Arab community, in part due to concerns about how much land and access to resources it would get.

Five Arab nations \u003ca href=\"https://history.state.gov/milestones/1945-1952/arab-israeli-war\">immediately invaded\u003c/a> the new country, prompting a major Israeli offensive and many months of fighting. That resulted in the permanent displacement of thousands of Palestinians, which some refer to as \u003ca href=\"https://www.un.org/unispal/about-the-nakba/\">the Nakba\u003c/a>, meaning “catastrophe” in Arabic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another major turning point came in 1967, with Israel’s decisive victory in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/event/Six-Day-War\">Six-Day War\u003c/a> against Egypt, Syria and Jordan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel gained territory \u003ca href=\"https://www.wilsoncenter.org/publication/the-1967-six-day-war\">four times its original size\u003c/a>, taking control of the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those territories have been a major point of contention and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1206720312/biden-israel-palestinians-presidents-mideast-peace\">peace negotiations\u003c/a> ever since. The U.N. \u003ca href=\"https://peacemaker.un.org/middle-east-resolution242\">issued a resolution\u003c/a> in 1967 calling for Israeli troops to withdraw from areas it captured, though the resolution’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-Nations-Resolution-242\">meaning has been disputed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That set up the current occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, which are collectively \u003ca href=\"https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-religious-freedom/israel-west-bank-and-gaza/west-bank-and-gaza/#:~:text=Section%20I.-,Religious%20Demography,Gaza%20Strip%20(midyear%202022).\">home to some 5 million Palestinians\u003c/a>.

After 1967, it was 100 percent-plus for Israel,” he says. “And now Israel is, I think, the only country that’s hard to draw on a map.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Has the two-state solution ever come close to reality?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. President Bill Clinton brought Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin together in 1993 to negotiate the agreement that came to be known as the \u003ca href=\"https://history.state.gov/milestones/1993-2000/oslo\">Oslo Accords\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In it, Israel officially recognized the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people and a partner in future negotiations, and the PLO renounced terrorism and recognized Israel’s right to exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal raised expectations for a two-state solution. But it quickly \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1206720312/biden-israel-palestinians-presidents-mideast-peace\">began to unravel\u003c/a> after a series of events, including a 1994 attack on a mosque in Hebron by an American Jewish settler and Rabin’s assassination in 1995 by an Israeli settler opposed to the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost immediately after the Oslo Accords were signed, Israel enhanced its policy of fragmenting Gaza from the West Bank and East Jerusalem, says Atalia Omer, a professor of religion, conflict and peace studies at the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Israeli settlements continued to proliferate in the West Bank — on occupied land that the Palestinians hoped would be part of their state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that has continued in the years since. The population of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, grew from 520,000 to more than 700,000 between 2012 and 2022, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ohchr.org/en/news/2023/03/human-rights-council-hears-current-israeli-plan-double-settler-population-occupied\">U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Settlements continue to eat into Palestinian spaces,” Omer says. “And over the course of the 30 years since the Oslo Accords — signed in the White House in September 1993 — the settlements completely prevented the possibility of a contiguous sovereign Palestinian state within that two-state framework.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What are the other obstacles?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Discussions of a two-state solution center on a number of core issues, as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-us-policy-israeli-palestinian-conflict#chapter-title-0-1\">Council on Foreign Relations\u003c/a> explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is how exactly the borders would be drawn. Most international diplomacy favors Israel reverting to a version of its pre-1967 borders, without a consensus on how that would account for the Palestinians living within those borders or the Jewish Israelis beyond them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel has annexed the whole city of Jerusalem as its capital, while Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of their state — which makes for another logistical question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also the major question of Palestinian refugees of the wars of 1948 and 1967. The survivors and their descendants live mostly in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria and claim the right to return to Israel based on a 1948 \u003ca href=\"https://www.unrwa.org/content/resolution-194#:~:text=The%20United%20Nations%20General%20Assembly,not%20to%20return%20and%20for\">U.N. General Assembly resolution\u003c/a>. Israel views that right to return as a threat to its existence as a Jewish state and believes those refugees should go to the Palestinian state instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Security looms large, too. Israel views certain Palestinian militant groups as existential threats — including Hamas, which governs Gaza and whose \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39775103\">founding charter\u003c/a> called for the obliteration of Israel — and wants them to disarm. Israel wants to maintain the ability to act in Palestinian areas against security threats. Palestinians want an end to Israel’s military occupation and full control over their own security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides want recognition of their respective states by the other and the international community. Palestinians also want acknowledgment of and redress for their forced displacement, Omer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There needs to be a recognition and kind of naming, and then put in place mechanisms to redress — how can Palestinians be compensated for historical injustice they experienced — and then figure out ways of respecting Jewish citizens in the space through principles of equality and democracy,” Omer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where did peace negotiations stand before this war?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There has been little progress since the turn of the millennium. The collapse of the 2000 peace process fueled the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2018/11/20/18080066/israel-palestine-intifadas-first-second\">Second Intifada\u003c/a>, a major Palestinian uprising in the Israel-occupied Palestinian territories and Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It ended in 2005 with some 1,000 Israelis and 3,200 Palestinians dead, along with heightened skepticism of the peace process on both sides. Those feelings seem to have prevailed in the years since, which have been marked by terrorist attacks, military raids, rocket fire, border clashes and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-conflict-timeline.html\">other incidents\u003c/a>.

Five Arab nations \u003ca href=\"https://history.state.gov/milestones/1945-1952/arab-israeli-war\">immediately invaded\u003c/a> the new country, prompting a major Israeli offensive and many months of fighting. That resulted in the permanent displacement of thousands of Palestinians, which some refer to as \u003ca href=\"https://www.un.org/unispal/about-the-nakba/\">the Nakba\u003c/a>, meaning “catastrophe” in Arabic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another major turning point came in 1967, with Israel’s decisive victory in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/event/Six-Day-War\">Six-Day War\u003c/a> against Egypt, Syria and Jordan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel gained territory \u003ca href=\"https://www.wilsoncenter.org/publication/the-1967-six-day-war\">four times its original size\u003c/a>, taking control of the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those territories have been a major point of contention and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1206720312/biden-israel-palestinians-presidents-mideast-peace\">peace negotiations\u003c/a> ever since. The U.N. \u003ca href=\"https://peacemaker.un.org/middle-east-resolution242\">issued a resolution\u003c/a> in 1967 calling for Israeli troops to withdraw from areas it captured, though the resolution’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-Nations-Resolution-242\">meaning has been disputed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That set up the current occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, which are collectively \u003ca href=\"https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-religious-freedom/israel-west-bank-and-gaza/west-bank-and-gaza/#:~:text=Section%20I.-,Religious%20Demography,Gaza%20Strip%20(midyear%202022).\">home to some 5 million Palestinians\u003c/a>.

After 1967, it was 100 percent-plus for Israel,” he says. “And now Israel is, I think, the only country that’s hard to draw on a map.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Has the two-state solution ever come close to reality?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. President Bill Clinton brought Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin together in 1993 to negotiate the agreement that came to be known as the \u003ca href=\"https://history.state.gov/milestones/1993-2000/oslo\">Oslo Accords\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In it, Israel officially recognized the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people and a partner in future negotiations, and the PLO renounced terrorism and recognized Israel’s right to exist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal raised expectations for a two-state solution. But it quickly \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1206720312/biden-israel-palestinians-presidents-mideast-peace\">began to unravel\u003c/a> after a series of events, including a 1994 attack on a mosque in Hebron by an American Jewish settler and Rabin’s assassination in 1995 by an Israeli settler opposed to the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost immediately after the Oslo Accords were signed, Israel enhanced its policy of fragmenting Gaza from the West Bank and East Jerusalem, says Atalia Omer, a professor of religion, conflict and peace studies at the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Israeli settlements continued to proliferate in the West Bank — on occupied land that the Palestinians hoped would be part of their state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that has continued in the years since. The population of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, grew from 520,000 to more than 700,000 between 2012 and 2022, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ohchr.org/en/news/2023/03/human-rights-council-hears-current-israeli-plan-double-settler-population-occupied\">U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Settlements continue to eat into Palestinian spaces,” Omer says. “And over the course of the 30 years since the Oslo Accords — signed in the White House in September 1993 — the settlements completely prevented the possibility of a contiguous sovereign Palestinian state within that two-state framework.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What are the other obstacles?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Discussions of a two-state solution center on a number of core issues, as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-us-policy-israeli-palestinian-conflict#chapter-title-0-1\">Council on Foreign Relations\u003c/a> explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is how exactly the borders would be drawn. Most international diplomacy favors Israel reverting to a version of its pre-1967 borders, without a consensus on how that would account for the Palestinians living within those borders or the Jewish Israelis beyond them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel has annexed the whole city of Jerusalem as its capital, while Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of their state — which makes for another logistical question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also the major question of Palestinian refugees of the wars of 1948 and 1967. The survivors and their descendants live mostly in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria and claim the right to return to Israel based on a 1948 \u003ca href=\"https://www.unrwa.org/content/resolution-194#:~:text=The%20United%20Nations%20General%20Assembly,not%20to%20return%20and%20for\">U.N. General Assembly resolution\u003c/a>. Israel views that right to return as a threat to its existence as a Jewish state and believes those refugees should go to the Palestinian state instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Security looms large, too. Israel views certain Palestinian militant groups as existential threats — including Hamas, which governs Gaza and whose \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39775103\">founding charter\u003c/a> called for the obliteration of Israel — and wants them to disarm. Israel wants to maintain the ability to act in Palestinian areas against security threats. Palestinians want an end to Israel’s military occupation and full control over their own security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides want recognition of their respective states by the other and the international community. Palestinians also want acknowledgment of and redress for their forced displacement, Omer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There needs to be a recognition and kind of naming, and then put in place mechanisms to redress — how can Palestinians be compensated for historical injustice they experienced — and then figure out ways of respecting Jewish citizens in the space through principles of equality and democracy,” Omer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where did peace negotiations stand before this war?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There has been little progress since the turn of the millennium. The collapse of the 2000 peace process fueled the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2018/11/20/18080066/israel-palestine-intifadas-first-second\">Second Intifada\u003c/a>, a major Palestinian uprising in the Israel-occupied Palestinian territories and Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It ended in 2005 with some 1,000 Israelis and 3,200 Palestinians dead, along with heightened skepticism of the peace process on both sides. Those feelings seem to have prevailed in the years since, which have been marked by terrorist attacks, military raids, rocket fire, border clashes and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-conflict-timeline.html\">other incidents\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Wednesday, the U.S. Education Department announced new federal regulations that aim to hold for-profit colleges accountable for student outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Higher education is supposed to be an invaluable investment in your future. There is nothing valuable about being ripped off or sold on a worthless degree,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said at a press briefing announcing the final rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gainful employment rule is meant to safeguard students from making a bad investment at for-profit institutions and non-degree, certificate programs. If programs don’t earn their graduates adequate pay, or if graduates’ earnings are too low to afford their student loan payments, programs could lose access to federal money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Too often, students and parents navigate decisions without a clear picture of which schools offer the best value for your money,” Cardona said. “This rule would make sure students know they’re about to take out loans for programs known to leave graduates with unaffordable debt and poor career prospects.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting next school year — July 1, 2024 — programs will have to demonstrate that graduates are able to afford their student debt payments and make more money than an adult in their state who didn’t go to college. If a program fails either of those metrics, students will get a warning before they take out federal student loans. If a program fails the same metric twice in a three-year period, it will lose eligibility to collect federal student aid money from students. The first year this could happen to a program is 2026.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"US Education Secretary Miguel Cardona\"]‘This rule would make sure students know they’re about to take out loans for programs known to leave graduates with unaffordable debt and poor career prospects.’[/pullquote]“Today’s action … is the strongest action ever taken by an administration to hold low-quality programs accountable,” says Carolyn Fast, the director of higher education at \u003ca href=\"https://tcf.org/content/report/for-profit-colleges-say-the-gainful-employment-rule-will-kill-access-dont-believe-them/\">The Century Foundation\u003c/a>. Fast was also involved in the rulemaking. “It steers students toward high-value programs and holds institutions accountable for what it is they should be doing: offering students quality education and preparing them for stable future careers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data from the Education Department anticipates that about \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/policy/highered/reg/hearulemaking/2021/gainful-employment-notice-of-final-review-factsheet.pdf\">1,700 programs will fail (PDF)\u003c/a> to meet the thresholds set forth in the rule. While many public and private nonprofit colleges offer non-degree programs, very few would fail, according to the department.

Ron DeSantis has made headlines by flying migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, and to Sacramento in June — in an incident that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11952335/california-investigates-desantis-role-in-migrants-arrival-in-sacramento\">California Attorney General Rob Bonta vowed to investigate\u003c/a>. And Abbott is waging a campaign of bussing migrants from Texas to Democratic-led cities, including Los Angeles, saying Texas border towns are “\u003ca href=\"https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-announces-first-bus-of-migrants-arrives-in-los-angeles\">overwhelmed and overrun\u003c/a>” because Biden is failing to enforce the law.[aside label=\"More Coverage\" tag=\"immigration\"]The latest of eight buses to Los Angeles arrived today.

They want to be positioned as taking a tougher stance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates like Kate Clark, who works with asylum seekers in San Diego every day, says what’s often missing in the political conversation is empathy for migrants as human beings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s about centering humanity,” she said. “If there was more of a focus on the humanity behind this issue, maybe others would better understand the challenges that are faced and be more comfortable with moving forward with [welcoming] policies.”\u003c/p>\n\n",
