Expect the electoral fight to be a bitter, brutal eight-month slog. Both candidates intend to make the race about their opponent, which means a pair of extremely negative campaigns. (Biden, 81, says Trump is a threat to democracy; Trump, 77, portrays Biden as elderly and unfit.) Biden should be the favorite: He’s an incumbent running against the backdrop of a healthy enough economy, and his opponent is accused of multiple federal crimes. But Trump is leading in the polls.

Negotiators had been discussing an initial six-week cease-fire during which Hamas would release about 40 women — including older captives, ill hostages and five female Israeli soldiers — for a substantial number of Palestinian prisoners. But Hamas has recently backed away from that proposed agreement and is making broad demands that Israel refuses to meet, officials said, including committing to a permanent cease-fire during or after three phases of hostage releases. The U.S. had been pushing for an agreement to be reached before Ramadan, when frustration and tempers could flare, making an agreement more difficult to achieve.
