U.S. President Joe Biden commemorated Holocaust Remembrance Day by condemning antisemitism and making the case that protests must be peaceful. Meanwhile, Israel rachets up its military action in Rafah and closes the border crossing there as peace talks in Cairo devolve.

The International Organization for Migration released its annual report. Plus, Myanmar before monsoon season starts. And are American troops headed to Nigeria?
