Israel Poised to Storm Gaza City; Trump's Surprise Fed Pick

On today's podcast:
1) Israel's security cabinet approves a military takeover of Gaza City. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secured cabinet approval for a military takeover of Gaza City, described as part of a final push to topple Hamas. The decision marks an escalation in the conflict, with the Israel Defense Forces preparing to seize Gaza City while providing humanitarian aid to the civilian population outside combat zones.
2) President Trump makes a surprise move as he tries to reshape the Fed with the nomination of Stephen Miran to fill the seat on the Fed's Board of Governors that expires in January. Miran, the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors, supports Trump's push to cut interest rates, and his nomination is seen as a signal of what Trump wants from the central bank ahead of his choice to succeed Jerome Powell.
