Summary

Where things stand in the Middle East as Israel has agreed to a 10-day cease-fire in Lebanon and Trump says the next round of peace talks will "probably" happen this weekend. Then, with gas prices rising with no end in sight, Trump tries to highlight his tax policy. And, new reporting on the sports betting industry spending over $40 million to influence elections. Damian Paletta, Leigh Ann Caldwell, Tom Nichols, Brendan Greeley, Natasha Sarin, and Teddy Schleifer join The 11th Hour this Thursday night.
