Hamas said it was postponing the next scheduled release of Israeli hostages, putting the ceasefire agreement at risk as Israel raised its military readiness to high alert. Hamas accused Israel of delaying the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza, targeting them with shelling and gunfire, and failing to allow the entry of agreed-upon humanitarian aid. In response, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz condemned Hamas's actions as a "complete violation" of the ceasefire and instructed the Israeli military to prepare for any possible scenario in Gaza. President Trump said the Israel-Hamas ceasefire should be canceled if Hamas does not release all remaining hostages by midday Saturday, though he acknowledged the final decision is up to Israel. | Judge Extends Pause in Buyout Plan A Massachusetts federal judge on Monday extended indefinitely the pause on the Trump administration's buyout plan for federal employees, just hours before the deadline. The plan offered over 2 million remote federal workers eight months of pay and benefits if they didn't want to return to working full-time in the office. Over 65,000 federal workers have taken the offer, according to officials. Monday’s ruling is the second extension of the program. Unions have argued that employees might find themselves out of luck when government funding terminates in March, as Congress hasn't authorized the spending for the program. The pause is expected to continue until the judge rules on a preliminary injunction in the case. | President Pinches Penny Production President Trump ordered the U.S. Treasury to stop producing new pennies, citing the move as a way to reduce wasteful spending since each penny costs more to mint than it can buy. The U.S. Mint's 2024 fiscal report revealed that the penny costs at least 3.7 cents to mint, marking the 19th consecutive year its production exceeded face value. The U.S. spent over $179 million to mint over 4.5 billion pennies in fiscal year 2023 alone. Previous attempts to eliminate the penny haven't been successful. Supporters argue that the coin helps keep prices lower and enhances charitable donations. Internationally, Canada hasn't minted a one-cent coin since 2012. Not all pennies are equal; several editions are worth tens of thousands of dollars, including two pennies from the 1940s estimated to be over $1 million in value. See valuable pennies here.
