Boeing fraud case: DOJ wants Boeing to plead guilty to fraud over fatal 737 Max crashes, lawyers say
SUMMARY: The U.S. Justice Department is urging Boeing to plead guilty to criminal fraud related to two deadly 737 Max crashes, with a deadline of next week to accept or reject the offer. This includes appointing an independent monitor to ensure compliance with anti-fraud laws. The case follows Boeing’s alleged violation of a 2021 settlement agreement. Families of the 346 victims, seeking a $24.8 billion fine and a criminal trial for Boeing, reacted angrily to the plea offer. If Boeing rejects it, the Justice Department may pursue a trial. A plea deal could jeopardize Boeing’s federal contracts but waivers are possible.

Hamas Clears the Way for a Possible Cease-fire in Gaza After Dropping Key Demand, Officials Say
SUMMARY: Hamas has given initial approval to a U.S.-backed phased cease-fire proposal in Gaza, dropping its demand for an upfront commitment from Israel to end the war. This compromise could lead to the first pause in fighting since November and pave the way for further negotiations. Nonetheless, a final deal is still uncertain. Meanwhile, the Gaza Health Ministry reports that an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter killed at least 16 people and injured 50 others. The ongoing conflict involves repeated hostilities between Israel and Hamas. (July 6, 2024, Associated Press)
