Israel cracks down on Palestinian citizens who speak out against the war in Gaza UMM AL-FAHM, Israel (AP) — In the year since the war in Gaza broke out, Israel's government has been cracking down on dissent among its Palestinian citizens. Authorities have charged Palestinians with “supporting terrorism” because of posts online or for demonstrating against the war. Activists and rights watchdogs say Palestinians have also lost jobs, been suspended from schools and faced police interrogations. Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel's population. Many feel forced to self-censor out of fear of being jailed and further marginalized in society. Others still find ways to dissent, but carefully. Israel's National Security Ministry counters that, “Freedom of speech is not the freedom to incite.” Israel says rabbi who went missing in the UAE was killed TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel says the body of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found, citing Emirati authorities. The statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Sunday said Zvi Kogan was killed, calling it a “heinous antisemitic terror incident.” It said: “The state of Israel will act with all means to seek justice with the criminals responsible for his death." Kogan went missing on Thursday, and there were suspicions he had been kidnapped. His disappearance comes as Iran has been threatening to retaliate against Israel after the two countries traded fire in October. Israeli strike kills Lebanese soldier and wounds 18 as Hezbollah fires rockets at Israel BEIRUT (AP) — An Israeli strike on a Lebanese army center has killed one soldier and wounded 18 others. The Hezbollah militant group meanwhile fired around 160 rockets and other projectiles into northern and central Israel on Sunday, wounding at least five people. Israeli strikes have killed over 40 Lebanese troops since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, even as Lebanon's military has largely kept to the sidelines. The Israeli military expressed regret over the strike, saying it occurred in an area of ongoing combat operations against Hezbollah. It said it does not target the Lebanese armed forces and that the strike is under review. The rising price of paying the national debt is a risk for Trump's promises on growth and inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has big plans for the economy. He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. After Trump's Project 2025 denials, he is tapping its authors and influencers for key roles WASHINGTON (AP) — During the campaign, President-elect Donald Trump had hailed what would become Project 2025 as a conservative roadmap for “exactly what our movement will do." Trump pulled an about-face when Project 2025 became a political liability. He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans, even though some were written by his former aides and many allies. Now, after winning the 2024 election, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the effort he temporarily shunned. Trump has tapped Russell Vought for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as “border czar;” and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of policy. Forecasts warn of possible winter storms across US during Thanksgiving week WINDSOR, Calif. (AP) — Forecasters in the U.S. have warned of another round of winter weather that could complicate travel leading up to Thanksgiving. California is bracing for more snow and rain this weekend while still grappling with some flooding and small landslides from a previous storm. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for California's Sierra Nevada through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at high elevations. Thousands remained without power in the Seattle area on Saturday after a “bomb cyclone” storm system hit the West Coast earlier in the week, killing two people. Parts of the Northeast and Appalachia also began the weekend with heavy precipitation. Pakistan partially stops mobile and internet services ahead of pro-Imran Khan protest ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan has suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns” as supporters of imprisoned former premier Imran Khan gear up for a protest in the capital. The government and Interior Ministry made the announcement on X, which is banned in Pakistan. Sunday's protest is to demand Khan's release. He has been in prison for more than a year but remains popular. His supporters rely heavily on social media and messaging apps to coordinate with each other. Pakistan has already sealed off Islamabad and shut down major roads and highways connecting the city with Khan's power bases. Here's what to know about the new funding deal that countries agreed to at UN climate talks BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — In the wee hours Sunday at the United Nations climate talks, countries from around the world reached an agreement on how rich countries can cough up the funds to support poor countries in the face of climate change. But it’s a far-from-perfect arrangement, with many parties still unsatisfied but hopeful that the deal will be a step in the right direction. Japan holds Sado mines memorial despite South Korean boycott amid lingering historical tensions SADO, Japan (AP) — Japan has held a memorial ceremony near the Sado Island Gold Mines despite a last-minute boycott of the event by South Korea that highlighted tensions between the neighbors over the brutal wartime use of Korean laborers. South Korea’s absence at Sunday’s memorial, to which Seoul government officials and Korean victims’ families were invited, is a major setback in the rapidly improving ties between the countries. The Sado mines were listed in July as a UNESCO World Heritage Site after Japan moved past years of disputes with South Korea and reluctantly acknowledged the mines’ dark history. Chuck Woolery, smooth-talking game show host of 'Love Connection' and 'Scrabble,' dies at 83 NEW YORK (AP) — Chuck Woolery, the affable, smooth-talking game show host of “Wheel of Fortune,” “Love Connection” and “Scrabble” who later became a right-wing podcaster, skewering liberals and accusing the government of lying about COVID-19, has died. He was 83. Mark Young, Woolery’s podcast co-host and friend, said in an email early Sunday that Woolery died at his home in Texas with his wife, Kristen, present. Woolery, with his matinee idol looks, coiffed hair and ease with witty banter, was inducted into the American TV Game Show Hall of Fame in 2007 and earned a daytime Emmy nomination in 1978. He teamed up with Young for the podcast “Blunt Force Truth” and became a full supporter Donald Trump.Everyone has their Thanksgiving favorites. For me, it's a crunchy-creamy green bean casserole . For others, it's the silky, buttery stunner of the group, the mashed potatoes . But for my chef-husband Luke, it's all about the stuffing. He personally makes this savory side at his New Canaan, CT restaurant Elm annually and although the recipe has evolved—some variations have featured cornbread, pistachios, apricots, wild mushrooms, and on occasion, foie gras—the one constant that remains is that everyone loves Luke's stuffing. In case you think that I'm exaggerating I give you this: This year, he's flying to his sister's house with freezer bags full of giblet gravy and his prized chestnut raisin stuffing. It's the first year he's taking Thanksgiving off in, well, forever. Just to appease his family...and me. Kelli Acciardo Venner So, if you've been tasked with stuffing duty this year, do yourself a favor and try his foolproof recipe. I might be biased, but it will definitely be the star of the spread. Keep reading for how to make it, plus his other tried-and-true stuffing ingredient combos to file away for future use.

"We used the leftover sourdough dinner rolls, Hormel sausage crumbles, instant chicken broth and a lot of melted butter," he recalled. "This recipe harkens back to those memories with a few elevated ingredients to satisfy the chef in me." And therein lies the secret to a fantastic stuffing recipe: If there's one flavor, one ingredient, one memory that reminds you of Thanksgiving, lean into that, with a lot of butter and bread. The best part about Luke's chestnut-raisin stuffing though (other than the first bite) is it isn't too labor-intensive. It takes a little prep in the form of chopping and mixing but then you pop it in the oven and let it do its thing while you get back to the bird . Plus, it's customizable and leaves plenty of room for on-the-fly tweaks. "The number 1 thing to remember about stuffing is that doesn't need to be so precise," he tells me, "so don't be afraid to add a little extra of the ingredients you like the most." Related: We Tried 9 Different Stuffing Mixes and the Winner Totally Surprised Us Chef Luke's Chestnut-Raisin Stuffing Recipe To recreate Luke's signature stuffing, you'll need two sourdough batards, although you could use a different kind of rustic loaf—use what you can find. You'll also need two pounds of breakfast sausage, a celery stalk, two white onions, a pound of chestnuts (frozen is great unless you want to peel chestnuts), a half pound of golden raisins and a bundle of fresh sage. Pro tip: Don't skip the raisins. They're a pop of delicious sweetness with every bite of savory goodness. For the stuffing binder, Luke uses two quarts of homemade roasted chicken stock he makes at the restaurant, but storebought absolutely works as a shortcut. Last but not least, he sneaks some sauteed foie gras into the mix. "It's the holidays!" he always tells me, encouraging a little indulgence like this, but by all means feel free to skip this step. To prep, you'll want to grab the biggest bowl you have (seriously, the biggest one), then chop the onion, celery and bread into one-inch cubes. You could also roughly tear the bread if you're going for a more rustic vibe. If your bread is super fresh, toast the cubes in some butter in the oven or let it hang out for a day until it's slightly stale. This makes for the best bread for stuffing, per Luke. The chopped veggies also get a sweat in a pan with some butter until they're nice and soft, caramelized and buttery. For the sausage, roast the full links in a pan and allow them to cool to room temp, then dice them up in disks similar to the size of the cubed veggies. Lastly, you'll want to quarter the frozen chestnuts and toss them in melted butter to roast in a sheet pan. Everything.is.better.with.butter! Once the ingredients are prepped, combine them all in one big tinfoil baking tray or an extra-large casserole dish with some chopped sage and give them a good toss using plastic gloves (a mess-free hack I've picked up from Luke). Then, pour in the stock.

As for how long, that depends on your oven, plus how deep your tray or casserole dish is, so Luke's main suggestion is to keep an eye on it. "The raw stuffing needs to cook until the moisture has enough convection to steam, and then a little extra cooking time to develop a nice crust," he tells me when I ask when it will be ready, year after year, impatiently . Once it's been about 30 to 40 minutes you can uncover the stuffing so the top can get a little bit crispy. When the edges of some of the bread cubes turn golden, you know it's ready.
