This is AP News. I'm Rita Folley. President Biden's confirming that he did order the suspension of the delivery of heavy bombs to Israel as Prime Minister Netanyahu resists White House pressure to dump plans to move full bore into Rafa, the city in Gaza. The AP's Sagar Magani, with what the White House is saying. Any kind of major Rafa-ground operation would actually strengthen Hamas' hands at the negotiating table, not Israel's. White House national security spokesman John Kirby says more civilian deaths in Rafa would only help Hamas' leader make a case against Israel. More ammunition for his twisted narrative here. It's unclear if the president's threat to withhold aid would change Israel's calculus. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will stand alone if need be. Sagar Magani, Washington. This morning, the Israeli military says it located tunnels in Rafa near the border with Egypt and had eliminated militants in combat. More fierce weather expected in the already hard hit southeast through today. The weather service says severe thunderstorms and heavy rain. The jurors in Donald Trump's Hushmani trial have now heard a dramatic account of Stormy Daniels' alleged sexual encounter with the former president. The AP's Michael Sisak is in New York. Trump's lawyers asked Judge Juan Mershan to end the trial. They said that Stormy Daniels' testimony on Tuesday and Thursday had been unfairly prejudicial to the former president. Daniels testified about what the defense contended was a power dynamic and the visceral reaction she had in the encounter she says happened at a hotel room in 2006 in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. California could soon use artificial intelligence tools to help reduce traffic jams and make roads safer under new agreements. This is AP News. Now to the shooting of an airman in Florida.
