The warning was backed by a new threat from President Joe Biden: He says he will pause more offensive military assistance to Israel if it goes through with the operation in a city where more than 1 million civilians are sheltering.

That means there have been an average of nearly 800 gotaways each day at the border.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit refused to throw out Hunter Biden's indictment on federal gun charges in a court document released Thursday.

The president's son is set to stand trial next month in Delaware.

"The defendant in this criminal case appealed three pretrial orders entered on April 12, 2024, denying his motions to dismiss the indictment," the court document released Thursday states. "This appeal is DISMISSED because the defendant has not shown the District Court’s orders are appealable before final judgment."

Hunter Biden's lawyers filed the motion in federal court earlier this year arguing that a diversion agreement previously agreed to by the Department of Justice and Hunter Biden's legal team should remain in effect.

The ruling allows for a trial against Hunter Biden to move forward but also leaves open the possibility for another appeal if he's convicted.

The decision from Judges Patty Shwartz, Cindy...
