Summary

The Trump administration has proposed a massive increase in defense spending for the coming year. It’s heavy on spending for depleted munitions and plunges deep into drones, as “the future of combat.” Also: today’s stories, including why Israelis want an independent state commission of inquiry to learn the truth about the failure to prevent the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023; how the Iran war is causing shortages of fertilizer in Southeast Asia; and a Monitor contributor’s review of “The Westerners,” a book about the 19th-century American West. Join the Monitor's Ira Porter for today's news.
