Friends, colleagues remember former state Rep. Mary MurphyJERUSALEM — Israel approved a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement with Lebanon's Hezbollah on Tuesday, setting the stage for an end to nearly 14 months of fighting linked to the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. In the hours leading up to the Cabinet meeting, Israel carried out its most intense wave of strikes in Beirut and its southern suburbs and issued a record number of evacuation warnings. At least 24 people were killed in strikes across the country, according to local authorities, as Israel signaled it aims to keep pummeling Hezbollah in the final hours before any ceasefire takes hold. Israel's security Cabinet approved the ceasefire agreement late Tuesday after it was presented by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his office said. U.S. President Joe Biden, speaking in Washington, called the agreement “good news” and said his administration would make a renewed push for a ceasefire in Gaza. An Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire would mark the first major step toward ending the regionwide unrest triggered by Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. But it does not address the devastating war in Gaza. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to bring peace to the Middle East, but neither he nor Netanyahu have proposed a postwar solution for the Palestinian territory, where Hamas is still holding dozens of hostages and the conflict is more intractable. Still, any halt to the fighting in Lebanon is expected to reduce the likelihood of war between Israel and Iran, which backs both Hezbollah and Hamas and exchanged direct fire with Israel on two occasions earlier this year. Netanyahu presented the ceasefire proposal to Cabinet ministers after a televised address in which he listed a series of accomplishments against Israel’s enemies across the region. He said a ceasefire with Hezbollah would further isolate Hamas in Gaza and allow Israel to focus on its main enemy, Iran, which backs both groups. “If Hezbollah breaks the agreement and tries to rearm, we will attack,” he said. “For every violation, we will attack with might.” Netanyahu's office later said Israel appreciated the U.S. efforts in securing the deal but "reserves the right to act against every threat to its security.” It was not immediately clear when the ceasefire would go into effect, and the exact terms of the deal were not released. The deal calls for a two-month initial halt in fighting and would require Hezbollah to end its armed presence in a broad swath of southern Lebanon, while Israeli troops would return to their side of the border. Thousands of additional Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers would deploy in the south, and an international panel headed by the United States would monitor all sides’ compliance. But implementation remains a major question mark. Israel has demanded the right to act should Hezbollah violate its obligations. Lebanese officials have rejected writing that into the proposal. Biden said Israel reserved the right to quickly resume operations in Lebanon if Hezbollah breaks the terms of the truce, but that the deal "was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.” Hezbollah has said it accepts the proposal, but a senior official with the group said Tuesday that it had not seen the agreement in its final form. “After reviewing the agreement signed by the enemy government, we will see if there is a match between what we stated and what was agreed upon by the Lebanese officials,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy chair of Hezbollah’s political council, told the Al Jazeera news network. “We want an end to the aggression, of course, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of the state” of Lebanon, he said. “Any violation of sovereignty is refused.” In this screen grab image from video provide by the Israeli Government Press Office, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes a televised statement Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024, in Jerusalem, Israel. Even as Israeli, U.S, Lebanese and international officials have expressed growing optimism over a ceasefire, Israel has continued its campaign in Lebanon, which it says aims to cripple Hezbollah’s military capabilities. An Israeli strike on Tuesday leveled a residential building in the central Beirut district of Basta — the second time in recent days warplanes have hit the crowded area near the city’s downtown. At least seven people were killed and 37 wounded, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. Strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs killed at least one person and wounded 13, it said. Three people were killed in a separate strike in Beirut and three in a strike on a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon. Lebanese state media said another 10 people were killed in the eastern Baalbek province. Israel says it targets Hezbollah fighters and their infrastructure. Israel also struck a building in Beirut's bustling commercial district of Hamra for the first time, hitting a site that is around 400 meters (yards) from Lebanon’s Central Bank. There were no reports of casualties. The Israeli military said it struck targets in Beirut and other areas linked to Hezbollah's financial arm. The evacuation warnings covered many areas, including parts of Beirut that previously have not been targeted. The warnings, coupled with fear that Israel was ratcheting up attacks before a ceasefire, sent residents fleeing. Traffic was gridlocked, and some cars had mattresses tied to them. Dozens of people, some wearing their pajamas, gathered in a central square, huddling under blankets or standing around fires as Israeli drones buzzed loudly overhead. Hezbollah, meanwhile, kept up its rocket fire, triggering air raid sirens across northern Israel. Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee issued evacuation warnings for 20 buildings in Beirut's southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has a major presence, as well as a warning for the southern town of Naqoura where the U.N. peacekeeping mission, UNIFIL, is headquartered. UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti told The Associated Press that peacekeepers will not evacuate.

The Israeli military also said its ground troops clashed with Hezbollah forces and destroyed rocket launchers in the Slouqi area on the eastern end of the Litani River, a few kilometers (miles) from the Israeli border. Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah would be required to move its forces north of the Litani, which in some places is about 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of the border. Hezbollah began firing into northern Israel, saying it was showing support for the Palestinians, a day after Hamas carried out its Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel, triggering the Gaza war. Israel returned fire on Hezbollah, and the two sides have been exchanging barrages ever since. Israel escalated its campaign of bombardment in mid-September and later sent troops into Lebanon, vowing to put an end to Hezbollah fire so tens of thousands of evacuated Israelis could return to their homes. More than 3,760 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon the past 13 months, many of them civilians, according to Lebanese health officials. The bombardment has driven 1.2 million people from their homes. Israel says it has killed more than 2,000 Hezbollah members. Hezbollah fire has forced some 50,000 Israelis to evacuate in the country’s north, and its rockets have reached as far south in Israel as Tel Aviv. At least 75 people have been killed, more than half of them civilians. More than 50 Israeli soldiers have died in the ground offensive in Lebanon. Chehayeb and Mroue reported from Beirut.

The Colts (5-7) have won just a single game since, and 22-year-old Anthony Richardson has been reinstated as the starter. Indianapolis has lost plenty of ground in the playoff chase over the last month, but it’s still got a chance to make a run. The Colts enter the week in ninth place in the AFC, two games behind the Denver Broncos (7-5) for the seventh and final postseason berth. That’s not great math for Indianapolis, and there is little to no margin for error, but with the teeth of the schedule in the rearview mirror, there is hope. The Colts play just one team with a winning record over their final five games. That’s a Dec. 15 date against the Broncos that could ultimately seal the team’s playoff fate. The stretch run begins Sunday on the road against the New England Patriots (3-9) with the bye week to follow. The final three games are at home against the Tennessee Titans (3-8), at the New York Giants (2-9) and at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-9). “I think, right now, where we’re at in the season, with everything set ahead of us, still being in that picture, one game on the road against New England going into the bye, we’ve got a chance to catch our breath and regroup for the last, final run,” linebacker Zaire Franklin said. “I think we’re in a special, unique position to where – why not go on a run? Why not us? I’ve done it before. “To be honest with you, I hate that I’m always in this position, but I’ve been there before, and I think the reality of the situation is that it just takes one. It just takes one play. It just takes one game. It just takes one to get the ball rolling, to get this momentum shifted, to get that energy back and get it rolling and get into the dance. Because I think, at the end of the day, as long as you get into the dance, that’s all that matters.” Franklin was a rookie in 2018 when Indianapolis went 10-1 down the stretch to overcome a 1-5 start and sneak into the postseason with the final berth. The 2021 Colts went 6-1 in November and December to get to 9-6 and position themselves for a playoff spot before losing their final two games in January. And Indianapolis won four straight to end November and begin December last year, enabling itself to force a winner-takes-all battle against the Houston Texans in the regular-season finale. The Colts went 1-3 in November this year, but they have a chance to turn things around in the final full month of the regular season. “Obviously, these last five games will be big,” Steichen said. “Right now we’ve got to take it one day at a time, one meeting at a time, one practice at a time, one game at a time to get to where we want to be at the end of the year. But we know this is a huge week for us coming up before the bye. So the fundamentals, the details, the attention to details, are going to be huge going into this week and then coming back after the bye. Get some guys back hopefully, be ready to roll for that four-game stretch.” If Indianapolis’ fortunes are to turn around again, it will need to begin with the offense. The Colts rank 21st in the 32-team NFL with an average of 20.2 points per game and are 17th in rushing offense and 24th in the passing game. Center Tanor Bortolini (concussion) and wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder) are among the players in danger of missing the trip to New England, increasing the degree of difficulty for a struggling unit. But improvement in situational details could go a long way toward fixing what fails the offense. Indianapolis ranks 23rd with a 36% conversion rate on third down, and it’s 24th with a 52.8% touchdown rate in the red zone. Those numbers are the keys to finishing drives and putting more points on the scoreboard. “We just need to take advantage of our scoring opportunities, and we need to come away with seven (points) instead of three because we got down there – we just couldn't finish,” wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. said, referring specifically to last week’s 24-6 loss against the Detroit Lions in which the Colts twice failed to reach the end zone from inside the visitors’ 20-yard line. “If we start putting up sevens instead of threes, then you don't know what happens, right? The score is a lot closer and football is football and momentum is king, and who knows?”

Activate your Online Access Now Article content That sparked a response from members of the Jewish community, who said they felt unwelcome or unsafe at the parade and controversy after numerous groups and institutions dropped out of the parade . Blackburn, who identifies as a lesbian, disagreed with the school board’s decision to withdraw and i ssued an invitation for the school board community to march with her in the parade . In an interview with the Citizen, she said: “I have not had one Jewish person explain to me how they will be unsafe. Nobody is going to get hurt. We should stand together.” In her complaint to the integrity commission, trustee Nili Kaplan-Myrth said Blackburn made discriminatory comments in emails with Jewish community members and staff and Blackburn had engaged in “ inappropriate lobbying” when asking staff and students to join her in a “rogue” OCDSB parade float. Behind the scenes, there was a flurry of emails and texts between Blackburn and staff, fellow trustees and members of the public, according to a 50-page report from integrity commissioner Suzanne Craig. In one email to Kaplan-Myrth, Blackburn wrote: “...your cries of antisemitism are getting really tired and I know who I am and what I stand for. While I don’t always agree with my colleagues on various matters, I don’t believe for one second any of them are antisemitic.” Evening Update The Ottawa Citizen’s best journalism, delivered directly to your inbox by 7 p.m. on weekdays.

Article content In another email, Blackburn thanked Kaplan-Myrth for sharing her opinion, but added: “I have every right to express myself just as you do. I have always been very, very clear I will never be bullied into silence, not by you, not by any one of your lawyers, not by anyone.” In a separate exchange, an unnamed Jewish staff member told Blackburn they felt unwelcome at the Pride parade and raised the possibility of meeting with Blackburn. Blackburn responded: “I have no desire to connect ... it is clear to me that my struggles matter not ... the fact I live in daily fear matters not ... what matters is the power of the Jewish community ... as it always does.” In her report, Craig did not find Blackburn in breach of the code of conduct. Courts and the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario “differentiate between comments that are perceived as offensive and those that are discriminatory. Words can be personally offensive and hurtful but not amount to substantive discrimination,” Craig wrote. Several of Blackburn’s comments stemmed from her “interpersonal difficulties” with Kaplan-Myrth, said Craig. “[Blackburn] and Trustee Kaplan-Myrth do not see eye to eye about what constitutes discrimination in the matters under this complaint.” Advertisement 4 Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Article content But Craig also found that Blackburn did not intend to cause harm or to engage in a manner that was hurtful, although Craig did find the comments crossed the line of respectful comments and strayed from the civility requirements for trustees. Blackburn made an “error in judgement” in failing to give sufficient context for her words to be understood as she intended them, said Craig. “I find that the comments leading up to and the action of participating in the Parade, while received as offensive and hurtful, do not rise to the level of being discriminatory within the meaning of the Human Rights Code.” Craig also noted that the OCDSB human rights policy “does not provide a definition of antisemitism upon which I can rely.” That creates difficulties as antisemitism is not consistently defined, she said. Addressing trustees via a video link on Nov. 26, Craig said the board of trustees might disagree with her findings or interpret things differently. “I just want to remind the board respectfully that I will not reopen my investigation.” Trustees did indeed disagree with Craig’s conclusions. Advertisement 5 Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Article content The report dismisses and diminishes the harm to the Jewish community on the basis that there is no commonly understood definition of antisemitism, said Kaplan-Myrth. “Her report sends a signal to the Jewish students, staff and community, and to me as a Jew, that the OCDSB will not recognize and address every form of antisemitism the same way we recognize and address every other form of discrimination,” she said. “What happened when trustee Blackburn spoke to the Jewish teacher and referred to Jews as ‘having power’ was antisemitism under any definition, said Kaplan-Myrth. “She (Craig) refuses to acknowledge discrimination targeting Jews, or to hold Trustee Blackburn accountable for her undeniable antisemitism.” After finding Blackburn in breach of the trustee code of conduct, trustees voted eight to three to formally censure Blackburn. They also voted unanimously to require Blackburn to take mandatory anti-semitism training. The comment about the power of the Jewish community is a well-known anti-semitic trope, said trustee Lyra Evans. “We have a bar that is higher than criminal when it comes to accountability for trustees. We have an expectation of politeness, we have expectations of civility that are higher than are set out in a criminal court. And so I am of the position that a trustee who has spouted an antisemitic trope has violated section 3.5 of our code of conduct, which says we must inspire public confidence in the abilities and integrity of the board.” Advertisement 6 Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Article content Blackburn was censured and asked to resign in June 2020 what the board described as “an act of anti-Black racism” against a teenager playing basketball by himself in a park that was closed due to COVID-19. At the time, Blackburn said she would not resign. Trustees voted unanimously to bar Blackburn from attending one meeting and from sitting on committees for six months, the most severe penalty allowed under the code of conduct. Trustee Cathryne Milburn said she was disappointed that the board was in the midst of another code of conduct investigation. “To me, the facts are clear. Harm has been done to our community and in particular to our Jewish staff member. The level of respect I want around this table has not been met.” Blackburn did not respond to a request for comment.
