一 | President Joe Biden left Israel on Wednesday after a high-stakes diplomatic mission to show solidarity with the U.S. ally, but also securing Israel's commitment to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and delivering an in-person warning to show restraint."I come to Israel with a simple message: You are not alone," Biden said as he spoke in Tel Aviv.The president compared the atrocities unleashed by Hamas to 9/11, stating Americans understand Israel's demands for justice.But he urged the nation not to be consumed by their outrage, asking officials to be deliberate with their objectives and ask the hard questions as they continue to respond to the terror attacks with airstrikes and a possible ground offensive."After 9/11, we were enraged in the United States. While we sought justice and got justice, we also made mistakes," Biden said.The remarks came off the heels of meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet as well as first responders and other Israelis affected by the violence that's unfolded since Oct. 7.Biden achieved one key objective of the trip, as Israel agreed to allow limited quantities of aid to begin to flow into Gaza from Egypt after blocking the Rafah border crossing for more than a week, leaving virtually no options in or out of Gaza."The people of Gaza need food, water, medicine, shelter," Biden said, as he stressed Hamas "does not represent the Palestinian people" and that civilians are suffering under their rule.Biden said the understanding is that the aid will be subject to inspections to ensure it is going to civilians, not Hamas."Let me be clear: If Hamas diverts or steals the assistance, they will have demonstrated once again that they have no concern for the welfare of the Palestinian people and it will end as a practical matter, it will stop the international community from being able to provide this aid," Biden said.In addition, Biden announced $100 million in new U.S. funding for humanitarian assistance in both Gaza and the West Bank to support the more than million people displaced by the conflict.Biden stepped off Air Force One at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv at about 10:50 a.m. local time. Netanyahu was waiting for Biden and the two leaders, whose relationship spans decades, shared words before exiting in convoys.Amid Biden's words of caution and restraint -- telling Israel they, as a democracy, live by the "rule of law" not the rule of terrorists -- Netanyahu only went so far as to say Israel will continue working with the U.S. to "assure that the minimum requirements are met" as well as efforts to get hostages out of Hamas control."As we proceed in this war, Israel will do everything it can to keep civilians out of harm's way," Netanyahu said. "We've asked them and we will continue to ask them to move to safer areas."Biden's visit, a physically and politically perilous one, comes one day after a deadly blast at a Gaza hospital rocked the area.Hamas blamed the incident on the Israeli Defense Forces while Israel presented materials they say prove it was a failed rocket launch by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.Biden supported Israel's claim that militants in Gaza were responsible for the blast. He told Netanyahu that it "appears it was done by the other team, not you."Later, when asked by a reporter what made him confident the Israelis weren't behind the hospital attack, Biden said it was "the data I was shown by my Defense Department."Biden was set to visit Jordan and meet with Arab leaders there but that summit was canceled after the hospital blast.

During a meeting with leaders in Israel, President Joe Biden said the hospital blast was "done by the other team."

After his meetings with Israeli officials, Biden took time to speak with first responders, families of victims and hostages and others affected by the Hamas attacks.The meetings were emotional, as one first responder recounted the atrocities inflicted on women and children.One pediatric physician who moved from New York to Israel years ago told Biden "never could have prepared" in her life for the mass casualty event she experienced following the attacks. Biden shared with her the personal story of when his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident and told her he understands physicians and nurses "make a gigantic difference."。

二 | 　　综合消息，美国海关与边境保护局周五发布指引，宣布依据第338条款，将在8月22日凌晨00:01开始对部分加拿大商品加征50%关税。　　美国贸易代表格里尔此前表示，加拿大拒绝按照本周早些时候达成的条款最终敲定贸易协议。尽管美国承诺给予加拿大作为美国主要出口国中最好的待遇，但加拿大提出的新要求以及对其他承诺的反悔，打破了过去几天来双方小心翼翼达成的平衡。　　但加拿大总理卡尼指责称，美国在最后一刻对提议条款的修改既不公平，也不符合加拿大的经济利益，更令人质疑任何协议的可靠性。

三 | 　　双方都指责对方破坏了数日的谈判，而这可能导致美国与加拿大高层之间的紧张关系进一步加剧。

四 | 由于美国总统特朗普曾多次戏称加拿大是美国的第51个州，两国关系已经降至历史性冰点。　　影响　　卡尼表示，他已经决定暂停与美国的贸易谈判，并指示加拿大谈判代表返回渥太华。加拿大将对美国关税采取1比1的报复措施。　　卡尼在去年当选加拿大总理时承诺要对抗特朗普，民调显示，大多数加拿大人至今仍支持卡尼，反对向特朗普做出任何让步。　　而美国和加拿大之间的谈判破裂将进一步影响两国的经贸和外交往来。
