Capturing Sievierodonetsk would give Russian forces control of Luhansk, one of two provinces that make up the Donbas region in Ukraine’s east. Western nations have substantially increased their aid to Ukraine, seeking to tip the balance as the conflict grows more protracted and costly. Late last week, the U.S. Senate approved $40 billion in aid to Ukraine. Russia has warned that Western nations will pay unspecified consequences for helping Ukraine.

Its common symptoms include a distinctive rash, fever and body aches. The speed at which it’s spreading has raised fears of another pandemic that would strain health systems already stretched thin by Covid-19. Public health officials in the U.S. said that the country had the resources to keep monkeypox at bay. In the event of an outbreak, the U.S. has stockpiled millions of doses of smallpox vaccines, which are generally effective at preventing monkeypox infection, as well. Details: As of Saturday, 92 cases and 28 suspected cases had been identified in 12 countries, including Britain, Spain, Austria and Portugal, outside of those African nations where it is endemic. Health mystery: A coronavirus outbreak at a mink farm in Michigan in 2020 was the first, and so far only, known instance of possible animal-to-human transmission in the U.S. But [how did it happen](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkbZoyP0T_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wNS8yMi9oZWFsdGgvY29yb25hdmlydXMtbWluay1taWNoaWdhbi1zcGlsbG92ZXIuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMjA1MjMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NjIxMjMmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9OTMwNzMmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmKGMhWLYn8AV29SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~)?

Rinawie Zoabi, a member of Israel’s Palestinian minority from the left-wing party Meretz, resigned on Thursday, after saying that the government was not committed to improving conditions for Arab citizens, who make up a fifth of the country’s population. Facing “massive pressure” from the leaders of local Arab councils, she reversed her decision, she said in a statement, in part to avoid the possibility of a government in which the extreme rightist politician, Itamar Ben-Gvir, would oversee the police force. The coalition, an ideologically diverse alliance of eight parties with clashing agendas, is now back to controlling 60 seats in the 120-seat Parliament, a position that allows it to hang on to power but that makes governing difficult. Its disintegration would send Israelis returning to the polls for the fifth time in four years. Coalition: The government, led by Naftali Bennett, is made up of parties from the political right, left and center and includes, for the first time, a small Islamist party. Those partners came together mainly over a shared desire to oust Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister.
