Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire At Risk
The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah is on the verge of collapse as the two parties recently traded fire after projectiles were launched at Northern Israel from Lebanon.
President Donald Trump’s diplomatic team, in conjunction with former President Joe Biden’s outgoing staff, brokered a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah last November.
The agreement was anteceded by months of tit-for-tat attacks between Israel and Hezbollah which began after the latter began targeting civilians in northern Israel.
Does Texas have a constitutional right to defy Supreme Court on protecting its border?
Hezbollah increased its attacks on Israel after the latter invaded Gaza in response to Hamas’ October 7th, 2023 attacks.
Israel subsequently decimated much of Hezbollah’s capabilities, eliminating crucial Hezbollah weapons stockpiles and killing senior Hezbollah leaders, including its top leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Senator Ruben Gallego: RFK Jr just slashed $190 MILLION from Arizona’s public health funding. That’s money to stop outbreaks and keep Arizonans safe.
Representative Andy Biggs: Congress must exercise our constitutional authority to check rogue judges engaging in misconduct. Americans have seen enough of their nonsense.
Representative Eli Crane: President Trump is spot on. Congress needs to step up (for once) and use our oversight responsibilities to push back against this unprecedented assault by activist judges. It will only get worse if we remain silent.
Representative Abe Hamadeh: This 61-year-old woman was assaulted while driving Route 66 near Flagstaff, Arizona. Her “crime?” Driving a Tesla. Unable to come to terms with their historic loss in November, & spurred on by the incendiary anti-Elon rhetoric of the leaders of their party, the radical left has resorted to violence. This needs to stop before more people are hurt.
State Representative Michele Pena: I am co-sponsoring HB2438. It modifies the conditions & procedures relating to amending a person's birth certificate in Arizona.
State Representative Consuelo Hernandez: I am honored to be one of the 13 people to receive an award in my district for my humanitarian work and dedication to helping others. I am truly honored to be in a position where I can help others. Thank you to my family for supporting me and instilling the values of bringing others up with me. Also—- this may be the coolest award I’ve ever seen!
State Representative Walt Blackman: Arizona needs SB1424 (formerly HB2030), the Master Sergeant Orlando Dona Valor Act, because federal law doesn’t adequately protect veterans or taxpayers. Unlike limited federal statutes, our law criminalizes fraudulent military claims in employment, politics, and contracts, imposes tougher felony penalties, and holds public officials accountable—fully constitutional under the 1st and 10th Amendments. #ProtectOurVets #StolenValor
State Representative Justin Wilmeth: The @UHCougarMBK just advanced to its seventh #FinalFour. What’s wild is the program has never won a national title. That includes those awesome Drexler/Olajuwon “Phi Slama Jama” teams of the 1980s that made three straight Final Four appearances. They’re my national title pick. Maybe this is the year. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
State Representative Selina Bliss: It is always a treat to host our youth at the Capitol—this was the third year for the Prescott Delegation of the YMCA’s Youth & Government program. This active group just held its 77th year of the Y&G Model Legislation Conference in December at the State Capitol. They are getting ready to serve!
State Representative Michael Carbone: Every Arizonan has the right to live without fear. Strong law enforcement support means safer neighborhoods. I'll prioritize funding for our police & community safety! carboneforaz.com #LD25 #AZstatehouse #majorityleader #repcarbone #carboneforAZ #BackTheBlue #SaferArizona
Maricopa County Supervisor Debbie Lesko: Thank you to President @realDonaldTrump for working to keep your promises to the American people. It's fantastic to see a president who cares about our nation's success, security, and future prosperity.
