A |     WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden is considering a trip to Israel in the coming days, but nothing has been finalized, a senior administration official said Sunday.A trip would send the strongest message yet that the U.S. is behind Israel following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas. The administration has already pledged military support, sending U.S. aircraft carriers to the region as well as aid. Officials have said they would ask Congress for upward of $2 billion in aid for both Israel and Ukraine.The official could not publicly discuss internal deliberations about the potential presidential travel and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.Egypt's president criticized Israel’s military operation in Gaza in a stern pushback Sunday to the United States as America's top diplomat extended his frenetic travels across the Mideast trying to prevent the war with Hamas from igniting a broader regional conflict.With an Israeli ground offensive looming, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed in some of his strongest language to date that Washington would stand with Israel “today, tomorrow and every day” in a partnership of shared democratic values, but that Israel must take “every possible precaution to avoid harming civilians.” He leveled no direct public criticism of Israel or its bombing campaign that has killed civilians in Gaza.From Cairo, where President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi conveyed his criticism, Blinken went to Jordan and planned to return to Israel on Monday, carrying to Israeli leaders the feedback he received in a rush of meetings with leaders throughout the Arab world.His second visit to Israel in recent days will come amid heightening fears that a looming Israeli move into Gaza could spark a wider war with devastating humanitarian consequences, a growing concern for the Biden administration. And the death toll of U.S. citizens rose to 30, with 13 still missing.Egypt’s state-run media said el-Sissi told Blinken that Israel’s Gaza operation has exceeded “the right of self-defense” and turned into “a collective punishment."Blinken told reporters before leaving Egypt that “Israel has the right, indeed it has the obligation to defend itself against these attacks from Hamas and to try to do what it can to make sure that this never happens again." Mindful of the potential human cost in Gaza, Blinken said "the way that Israel does this matters. It needs to do it in a way that affirms the shared values that we have for human life and human dignity, taking every possible precaution to avoid harming civilians.’’Earlier Sunday, the envoy met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh, talks that built upon earlier sessions with the leaders of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. Blinken said that what he heard in every meeting with Arab leaders “was a determination of shared view that we have to do everything possible to make sure this doesn’t spread to other places, a shared view to safeguard innocent lives, a shared view to get assistance to Palestinians in Gaza who need it and we’re working very much on that.”The White House also appointed David Satterfield, a former ambassador to Lebanon and Turkey, to lead U.S. efforts to get humanitarian assistance to “vulnerable people through the Middle East.” Satterfield was expected to arrive in Israel on Monday.From Washington, President Joe Biden’s national security adviser said the U.S. was not “making requests or demands of Israel with respect to its military operations.” Jake Sullivan, making the rounds of the Sunday TV news shows, said the administration was “simply stating our basic principles — the principles upon which this country is based and all democracies, including Israel, are based. It’s what makes us different from the terrorists, that in fact we respect civilian life.”He said the U.S. was not “not interfering in their military planning or trying to give them instructions or requests specific.” Sullivan said the U.S. is conveying the message in public and in private that “all military operations should be conducted consistent with law of war, that civilians should be protected, that civilians should have a real opportunity to get to safety” and have access to food, water, medicine and shelter.Those remarks marked a shift in the U.S. administration's comments in recent days as officials have heard concerns from Arab leaders about the consequences of what a humanitarian catastrophe resulting from an Israeli ground offensive would do not only to Palestinians but also in inflaming public opinions in Arab nations and potentially destabilizing relatively friendly countries.Sullivan also said the U.S. has been unable so far to get American citizens out of Gaza through Egypt’s Rafah crossing with Gaza. “It has been difficult to execute that operation to facilitate their passage out. … It’s a high priority,” acknowledging that “I’m not aware of anyone else being able to get out at this time.” The crossing was closed because of airstrikes early in the war. There are an estimated 500 Americans living in Gaza, but that number is imprecise, officials have said.U.S. officials have said the Arab reaction to Blinken’s message has been generally positive — acknowledging Israel has a right to respond to the Hamas attacks but expressing deep concern about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and unable to stay silent about the Palestinian civilian casualties that result. The Arab leaders have also said the current situation cannot be resolved without an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal that gives the Palestinians an independent state.Blinken made clear in Egypt that the U.S. will not waver in supporting Israel, saying, "We will stand with it today, tomorrow and every day and we’re doing that in word and also in deed.’’In his roughly hourlong meeting with Prince Mohammed at the de facto Saudi leader’s private farm outside Riyadh, Blinken “highlighted the United States’ unwavering focus on halting terrorist attacks by Hamas, securing the release of all hostages, and preventing the conflict from spreading,” the State Department said.“The two affirmed their shared commitment to protecting civilians and to advancing stability across the Middle East and beyond,” according to a department statement.The Saudi description of the meeting focused primarily on Palestinian civilians, echoing the sentiments that the other Arab leaders with whom Blinken has met. It said Saudi Arabia would object to the targeting of “civilians in any way or disrupt(ing) infrastructure and vital interests that affect their daily lives.”The prince “stressed the need to work to discuss ways to stop the military operations that claimed the lives of innocent people,“ the Saudi Press Agency said in a report about the meeting.___Associated Press writers Sam Magdy in Cairo, Colleen Long in Washington and Michelle L. Price in New York contributed to this report.。

B |     Fantagraphics 正在推出一个名为 Takumigraphics 的新子品牌，专注于精选的东亚漫画和图文小说。该系列的首部作品是 Lovers of the Empire，这是一个以 20 世纪 20 年代日据时期的朝鲜半岛为动荡背景的爱情故事。随着 Lovers of the Empire 第 1 卷现已上市，现独家发布该精装本的新预览图。Lovers of the Empire 由 Yudori 创作，他是 2024 年艾斯纳奖提名作品 Raging Clouds 的创作者。

C | 以下是本书的官方梗概：Lovers of the Empire 讲述了两个来自不同社会阶层的青少年被命运交织在一起的故事。Arisa Jo 是一个富商的女儿，也是京城（首尔旧称）最炙手可热的单身女性。她穿着西式礼服，留着电影明星般的发型，态度自信，体现了大胆的“摩登”价值观。Jun Seomoon 则与她截然相反，是一个来自农村、根植于传统的年轻人。

D | 当 Arisa 的父亲委派 Jun 护送她前往大城市时，两人的性格发生了碰撞，并擦出了火花。这种意想不到的联系让这些青少年在瞬息万变的世界中开启了新的视野。表面上这是一个甜蜜有趣的“他们会在一起吗”的浪漫故事，但通过对处于十字路口的韩国的描绘——一个被日本占领、受西方影响、并在面对现代性时引发公民内心冲突的城市——这个故事获得了深度。这部时代剧以绚丽的全彩呈现，描绘了一个动荡时代中迷人的城市，以及两个核心的迷人角色。“Lovers of the Empire 是一个可爱的男孩遇见女孩的浪漫故事，背景是沉默的大屠杀和战斗，”Yudori 在一份声明中说。“在某种程度上，这就是作为韩国人的感觉：保持丰盈和无害的假象，而内心深处总有一些东西在酝酿，就在爆炸点之下。战争并不会止步于战场和炸弹现场，它们会渗透进我们的日常生活。”“Fantagraphics 的使命长期以来一直是赞颂各种形式的伟大漫画创作，从该领域的早期领军人物到目前正在开创视觉叙事未来的全球当代艺术家，”Fantagraphics 副发行人 Eric Reynolds 表示。“Takumigraphics 是这一使命的延伸，是对日漫（Manga）、韩漫（Manhwa）和国漫（Manhua）以及其他东亚漫画在开创未来中所扮演的关键角色的认可。

E | 随着我们继续扩大亚洲作品的阵容，将它们归入一个品牌下是非常合理的，这能最好地展示在日本、韩国、中国及其他地区创作的优秀作品。

F | ”Lovers of the Empire 第 1 卷现已在书店发售。
