• Biden to Visit Israel Amid Gaza Crisis, as Fears Grow of Wider War
  President Biden plans to visit Israel on Wednesday,...

  President Biden plans to visit Israel on Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said in Israel in the early hours of Tuesday, setting up an extraordinary trip to a grieving nation on the brink of invading Gaza, the Palestinian territory already driven into a desperate humanitarian crisis by Israeli strikes that followed Hamas terrorist attacks.

  
  

  The trip will be a remarkable gamble, demonstrating American solidarity with Israel and signaling that reinforcement to Iran, Syria and Hezbollah at a time of increasing anxiety about a regional war. But it also ties Mr. Biden, and the United States, to the bloodshed in Gaza, where two million people are trapped and critical supplies are dwindling.

  U.S. stocks rallied on Monday to finish the first trading day...
  U.S. stocks rallied on Monday to finish the first trading day of the week in the green as investors shrugged off concerns the conflict that erupted last week between Israel and Hamas may lead to a broader war in the Middle East while looking ahead to the start of the third-quarter earnings season to better gauge the economy’s temperature. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA advanced 313 points, or 0.9%, to end at 33,984, while the S&P 500 SPX rose 1.1% and the Nasdaq Composite COMP gained 1.2%.
  
  The rally in the traditional safe-haven assets paused on Monday, with the most-active December gold contract settled lower, at $1,934.30 an ounce on Comex, reversing course after rising safe-haven demand spurred a series of gains in the yellow metal. U.S. Treasury yields rose on Monday afternoon, with the yield on the 10-year Treasury up 8.1 basis points to 4.709%, while the yield on the 30-year Treasury jumped 8.8 basis points to 4.865%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
