Israel abruptly declared a 'tactical ceasefire' in southern Gaza to allow more humanitarian aid to enter, catching Prime Minister Netanyahu off guard. Netanyahu dissolved the war cabinet following the resignation of Gantz, stating it was no longer necessary. The ceasefire came after significant casualties incurred by the military, including 8 deaths in a recent explosion, and tensions escalating with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Hezbollah threatens to escalate daily clashes with Israel into full-scale war. The situation remains volatile as both sides continue to exchange fire and threats, with uncertainties about long-term peace agreements.

Israeli Prime Minister's spokesperson confirmed on Monday that Prime Minister Netanyahu has dissolved the War Cabinet. The War Cabinet, established last year to command the Gaza War, held significant influence. Last week, one of the three War Cabinet members, former Defense Minister Benny Gantz, announced his withdrawal, leading to Netanyahu's expected move. The dissolution of the War Cabinet signifies a shift in Israel's political landscape as the country continues an eight-month war in Gaza. Netanyahu will now hold smaller consultations with some government members to discuss sensitive war-related issues, such as the Security Cabinet opposing ceasefire talks and supporting the reoccupation of Gaza. Critiques argue that Netanyahu's War Cabinet was excessively influenced by extreme nationalist parties within the government, a claim Netanyahu denies by stating his focus on national interests.

Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) has seen significant growth since the onset of the AI boom, with revenues of $12.49 billion and an EPS of $10.96 in its recent second fiscal quarter earnings report.

The company, a dividend achiever, has increased dividends for 11 consecutive years with a yield of 1.21%, higher than the industry average but lower than the S&P 500 average. While Broadcom Inc may be a good investment for capital gains, its low dividend yield may make it less appealing for income-focused investors, who typically seek yields above 5%.
