The unit was run by Chief Investment Officer Ina Drew, who later stepped down. A series of derivative transactions involving credit default swaps (CDS) were entered, reportedly as part of the bank's "hedging" strategy. Trader Bruno Iksil, nicknamed the London Whale, accumulated outsized CDS positions in the market. An estimated trading loss of $2 billion was announced. However, the loss amounted to more than $6 billion for JPMorgan Chase.These events gave rise to a number of investigations to examine the firm's risk management systems and internal controls. JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay $920 million in total fines to US and UK authorities.

President Biden pushed Prime Minister Netanyahu to open up crossing and ports for humanitarian aid to Gaza, warning of consequences if conditions didn't improve for civilians. The US may consider slowing down its supply of weapons to Israel. This is the first time since October's Hamas attack that Biden threatened serious consequences if Israel didn't change its approach in Gaza.
Donald Trump, once a vocal supporter of Israel, has become vague in his support following the war with Hamas and over 33,000 deaths in Gaza.

His recent rhetoric has been described as more like punditry rather than policy by some observers. The shift in tone coincides with the upcoming presidential election, leading to ambiguity in his stance on various contentious issues, including the crisis in Israel. Trump's non-committal attitude is attributed to the high electoral stakes against President Joe Biden.
