Travel in the Sims 4

Ready to hop of to Mt. Komorebi to test the slopes? Going for a weekend getaway to Granite Falls? Or ready for the adventure of a lifetime in Batuu? Not so fast! Not without a handy license and motor vehicle registration for that car you bought from the catalogue, or a subway pass for the children, or travel reservations and your passport for that international destination.

Speaking of going on a trip; you must book plane reservations and put down a vacation rental deposit. And let's not forget, you must have a passport to visit far away locales like Selvadorada. Just going from Willow Creek to Grandma's in Newcrest? Make sure you have gas in the car, your subway pass is ready, or your bicycle is registered. And if your teens are sick of using the subway, they can take formal or informal driving lessons to get ready for licensure. Travel free and loose no more!

Travel Requires a Mode: Bike, Subway Pass, Car, or Plane for International Travel

Apply and Renew Passport

Buy 7, 14, or 28 Day Subway Pass

Go to DMV to get a license

Driver's Education and Informal Lessons with Adult Household Members for Teens

Buy title for your Sim's car: it requires a license and gas once a week

Book Travel Reservations to travel internationally

Put down Vacation Rental Deposit before you can travel internationally

New Reward Trait: Prepared Traveler

New Travel Aspiration: Seasoned Traveler

New Travel-related Career: Travel Magazine Critic

How It Works

Most options are available on the phone and computer (under my general pie menus) but if you don't see one in one place, check the other. Most career interactions are available on the computer and tablet the exception being location check-in which requires the phone.

Domestic Travel

All active sims (excluding infants and toddlers) will need a way to travel in order to leave their home lot. This only affects travel via the phone menu and relationship panel as well as elevators and travel boards. It does not affect travel from the street. You can also only have one primary mode of transportation at a time - the most recent mode of transportation selected will always be the primary. The following modes of transportation are available:

Subway Pass

All sims child and up can use a subway pass. Subway passes are the cheapest mode of transportation and cost between $20 for a Youth 7-day pass and $130 for an Adult 28 day pass. Discounts are available for children, teens, and elders. A 7, 14, or 28 Day pass are available. When a Sim's pass expires, they will not be able to travel and will need to get a new one. The subway pass will be delivered to the Sim's inventory.

Bike (Requires Discover University)

Your sim can purchase a bike as usual. Once a sim has a bike, it will need to be registered. This essentially, as far as the mod is concerned, marks the sim who registers the bike as the owner. What that means is that it will consider that Sim to have a bike but anyone else in the household will either need to register their own bikes, buy a car, or get a subway pass. Registered bikes will need to be serviced every 21 days. When in need of service, it will be unusable and until sent in. In order to be serviced, it must first be placed in the Sim's inventory. Servicing takes about 90 minutes.

Buying a Car

All Sims teen and up are eligible to purchase a car (from Buy mode under Outdoor/Transportation). Each car has a price tag, an eco footprint, and an environmental score. If a Sim buys a sedan - or an average eco footprint car - it ranks differently than a muscle car/utility vehicle like a van or pickup truck or a hybrid vehicle like the euro car (from GTW) or a hybrid version of the BG coupe.

Mid-sized sedans (normal eco footprint of -1) are great values as they are reasonably fuel efficient and require a normal amount of maintenance. Muscle Car or Utility Vehicles are larger and thus are not as fuel efficient as sedans or hybrids but they also don't require as much maintenance. Hybrid vehicles cost more but provide better fuel mileage and require maintenance slightly less often than sedans.

License and Registration

In order to actually drive the car bought, first, they must apply for a license at local DMV. Wait times vary. Once a license has been obtained, the license will be in the Sim's inventory and then they can purchase a car/title. The Sim who registers the car is the owner of that vehicle. Note that when the game loads there is a small, random chance for sims young adult and up to already have their license.

Driving Lessons

Teens can get a license only if they complete Driver's Education lessons ($50/lesson) or ask an older family member (who has a license, a car with fuel and doesn't need maintenance) to teach them how to drive. This option is only available if the car is not in the inventory! A hidden driving skill will determine when they are eligible. Driving lessons, formal or informal, increase the skill, though formal driving lessons are noticeably more effective. When they are eligible to get their license, you will receive a notification.

Fuel and Maintenance

Service maintenance depends on the type of car but usually is needed between every 14-28 days, costs between $150-$250 depending on type of car, and takes about 2 hours and gas is usually needed every 7-10 days. Maintenance takes about 2-3 hours. Filling up takes about 15 minutes and costs between $20-$30 depending on type of car. Your Sim will receive a notification when it is time for service and when the gas gauge is low. If your Sim no longer wants to deal with the hassle of owning a car, they are able to sell it. Note that the only way to get rid of a car is to use the Sell Car interaction on the car or transfer ownership of the car.

International Travel

To travel  internationally to Windenburg, Selvadorada, Sulani, Batuu, Granite Falls, or Mt. Komorebi (if your sim does not live there) requires a passport and advance reservations. They will then go to the airport for about an hour before heading to their final destination.

Sims can obtain an initial passport by filling out an application online and then going to the Passport Office. Once at the passport office, Sims will choose a shipping speed to receive your passport. The options are to receive it within 12 hours to the Sim's inventory (Express Service), within 12-24 hours in the mail (Expedited Service), or within 24-48 hours in the mail (Standard Service). Sims will pay a fee for both the passport itself and the shipping. The shipping speed chosen will be for all Sims present at the Passport Office.

Advance Reservations

Once Sims have a passport in their inventory, they are able to book travel reservations and put down vacation rental deposits. A vacation rental deposit and travel reservations are required before a Sim can go on vacation/travel international. Sims may choose a range they're willing to put down for the deposit.

For travel reservations they must specify the whether they are flying in Economy seating or First Class. They will receive a random buff based on the fare class and a chance to get travel-sick and/or loose their luggage. Fees are adjusted accordingly. Only one reservation for travel and vacation rental per household is needed.

Traveling to International Locales

Once a sim has a passport, booked a vacation rental reservation, and flight accommodations, they will receive a buff that tells them they are travel ready. While this buff is active, their reservations and all preparations are considered complete.

 When they're ready to travel internationally, Sims can use the phone Travel menu to "Go on Vacation" as usual. It will now be unlocked for the trip! The whole travel party will then travel via a flight (rabbithole) for a few hours. At the end of the flight, the sims will arrive at their destination via the map picker. 

You may also temporarily see your sims on lot before going to their final destination after the airport.

Passport Renewal

A passport expires after 36 Days. A Sim will then need to fill out a similar application/paperwork online and then mail the paperwork to the passport agency. The Sim should receive their passport within 24 hours.

Seasoned Traveler Aspiration

Note that due to the nature of this aspiration it requires several packs: Jungle Adventures, City Living, Snowy Escape, Outdoor Retreat, and Island Living to complete. It also is greatly enhanced by frankk's Language Barriers as a few of the objectives include learning languages but you can still complete each level without the mod as it is not required.

Prepared Traveler Reward Trait

These Sims enjoy traveling all over the world. They have an easier time learning new languages, socializing with strangers, and have more fun when they are not in their home region. Works well with Language Barriers .

Travel Critic Career

Note that due to the nature of this career it requires City Living.

A brand new 6 level semi-active career inspired by the CL Critic career with a travel-focused twist. Sims focus on writing columns, reviewing food and drinks and performances, visiting different neighborhoods and different worlds, talking with local sims, and excelling at photography. Brand new work from home interactions, short hours, and a boost in language learning skills (boost requires Language Barriers mod). Levels are:

• Story Researcher
• Culture Writer
• Travel Blogger
• Chief Travel Critic

Compatibility and Requirements

Packs Required

Main Mod: Base Game Only

Travel Critic Career: City Living

Seasoned Traveler Aspiration: Jungle Adventures, Snowy Escape, Island Living, City Living, and Outdoor Retreat

Highly Recommended

City Living, Snowy Escape, Island Living, Jungle Adventures, and Outdoor Retreat

Get to Work for the Euro hybrid car

Language Barriers Mod is recommended for completing certain objectives within the aspiration as well as getting the full experience of the Career, though not required

***While this does not require any packs for the base mod - no career/aspiration - its playability is greatly limited if one does not have any other packs***

Download Instructions:

1. Download the mod below or here and grab the General Pie menus.

2. Install the the main mod, the General pie menus, and the BG required cars.

3. Install International Travel option if you want to use the passport and need to make travel reservations and have gameplay related to international travel

4. Install Domestic Travel if you want cars, bikes, driving, public transportation, and gameplay related to domestic travel

5. Install the Aspiration if you have the packs required. 6. Install the Career if you have the packs required. 7. Install the optional cars for which you have packs.

8. Install the optional modules to allow for automation of licenses and subway passes (Domestic) and passports (International).

1.) For the purpose of this mod Windenburg, Mt. Komorebi, and Sulani are treated as international destinations in addition to Batuu, Granite Falls, Tartosa, and Selvadorada for those who do not live there so they count as travel abroad for the aspiration and career and are tracked locations in the passport even though you don't necessarily need to plan a vacation in order to visit them like the others.

2.) Your Sims will always be able to travel regardless of the mod if you zoom out and use the map picker from the street. The mod therefore only affects travel by any other means. Just FYI in case you really need to get somewhere without the restriction of the mod.

3.) Note it takes the mod about 20 sim minutes (20 seconds) to load fully. If you cannot access a feature make sure you let the game load for at least half an hour/30 seconds.

4.) There is a cheat menu available with the game cheats. Please note that the option to Reset Mod truly resets the mod to when it was first loaded - all progress for licensure/passports/etc. is lost and the passport/license/subway pass will be removed from your inventory. If you have any test versions of the mod prior to release, I actually do suggest you reset.

Originally posted by LoungingMama8123 : Ahh lots of CC, i have 120+GB mods folder myself (check my artwork xD) which is a pain to problem solve but it's working fine after days of sorting x.x Soo if i was you i would back up my mods, tray and saves folders and then delete everything in the mods folder in your documents you can leave the saves and tray, i only back them up to prepare for worst case scenario. Also delete the localthumbcache file, Now fire up the game and make a random new save to test with. I will assume you will be a able to travel fine with no mods/cc soo close the game with that knowledge. Go to your backed up mods folder and begin to look through it and separate your mods/scripts (things that add to/modify the games code) and CC (CAS/Build Buy stuff) into their own folders. Keep in mind that most mods like Basemental for example etc will also have .package files too so make sure you keep them together. Once your confident everything is sorted then start adding back in your mods/scripts first and check check check!! If you run in to any problems then try find updated files from the creators and you should be at a point where everything is fine and now i would back your mods folder up again because it's in working state and a base in case you end up having your CC being the problem. Now you can move on to adding back your CC, i would suggest doing the 50/50 process or enough to where it's not going to take soo long but not too much to where if you run into an issue then you have a lot to filter through to figure out what CC is causing the problem. As for the delays it could be a conflict/outdated mod/cc which you will have figured out and sorted or you have too much CC for your computer to handle but with a bit of patience you will find out xD You could try a simulation lag fix mod but i'm not sure if those would help but if you would prefer to try them first before sorting your mods folder then there is no harm in trying. I hope you get things back to normal ^^ If you get stuck feel free to add and i will try to help more

Posted by: Playalot « on: Today at 12:21:58 AM » Insert Quote @Rainbow Dash the developers over on the official EA sims forum are suggesting that people remove their tray folders as a temporary work around and keeping it safe and a back up maybe on your desktop or external hard-drive. All sims/lots that are in your games from your library (tray folder) will be fine and if you want to add anymore it is as simple as putting your tray folder back in, downloading the sim you want into your game, saving it, exiting it and then removing your tray folder again.

Also check that the update to Origin didn't change your game from 64bit to 32bit, or the other way around! Depending on your PC specs etc.

My game freezes and lags since patch 1.24.102. Everything was ok before. The gallery and library are especially bad. Cause The problem seems to be caused by to many files in the tray folder. The size doesn't seem important. It's the number of files. There could be other reasons but for most people it seems to be this. Solution Move the following folder to the desktop: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\tray until EA/Maxis can fix this issue. Do not delete the folder. An new empty one will be recreated when you start the game. What does the Tray folder do ? The Tray folder contains all your Houses/Sims.. that show in your library. There's multiple files for each element. If you move the folder, the things will no longer show in your library. Houses and Sims in your save game will not be affected and your gallery uploads also stay intact.   Once you move back the files, they will appear in your library again.

The Sims 4: How to Travel

Traveling is a crucial part of The Sims 4 gameplay. Here's how players can travel in the game.

The Sims 4 is an adventurous game where gamers are in charge of creating and controlling the virtual characters, Sims . They also get to guide them through various aspects of their lives, including day-to-day activities, personality traits, and careers.

Players can also bring a change of pace by getting their Sims to travel to different places and build new skills. For players who don’t know how to travel in The Sims 4 , this guide is here to help.

How to Travel in The Sims 4

Travel Across the Map

Sims can travel to any of the residential buildings or public places in the town. What gamers need to do first is open the map of the town by pressing 'M.'Next, they can pick the location of their choice. They can also choose companions if they don't want to travel alone. There are no restrictions on the friendship levels while picking the companions; any Sim can be selected to accompany the players along the way.

There is another way to access the map where gamers can pick their destination on a Sim's smartphone. For this purpose, open the phone, go to the interface, click on the bottom left corner, and choose the " Travel" option on the tab with the car icon.

Fly to a Different World

In addition to traveling within a town, gamers can also travel to other worlds, Residential and Destination. And yes, Residential areas are where Sims live, so it offers a great opportunity to meet other Sims and learn different skills. On the other hand, Destination World is specifically meant to be a tourist spot.

Before taking a vacation to these places, gamers need to take some time off work. After that, they need to select their destination and reserve their accommodation by selecting the "Take a Vacation" option on their smartphone. It is noteworthy that players can take as many as eight Sims with them on vacation after they adjust their accommodations accordingly.

Residential Worlds

Gamers can rent the rental lots available in some of the Residential Worlds. In case there isn't any, players can build a lot themselves and label it as a "Rental Lot."

Destination Worlds

Players can get one Destination World from the Outdoor Retreat , Jungle Adventure, and Journey to Batuu expansion packs in The Sims 4 . After reaching these destinations, players can stay in hotels, participate in different fun activities, and make unforgettable memories. Make sure to click photos and explore as much as possible.

The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Sims 4: 10 Reasons To Use Adeepindigo's SimNation Travel Mod

Adding vehicles to The Sims 4 is just one of the best additions included in Adeepindigo's SimNation Travel mod.

Since their appearance in The Sims 2: Nightlife, cars have felt essential to The Sims franchise. And when The Sims 3: Generations added driving lessons and licenses, that feeling only got stronger. However, cars disappeared from The Sims 4 , and have yet to make a return to the official game. Given that The Sims 4 is not open-world like The Sims 3, this change makes some sense; with loading screens between lots—even neighboring lots—why would teens need to learn to drive?

RELATED: The Sims 4: How To Find, Install And Update Mods

Why would Sims need cars at all? Still, The Sims 2 was closed-world, and cars still added a lot of character to the Sims that drove them. In Adeepindigo’s SimNation Travel mod, functional cars make a return. But that’s not all; from improved bikes to subways to new vacation options, SimNation Travel is a great addition to any save.

Teen-Elder Sims can purchase cars from Buy Mode, under Outdoor/Transportation. All cars vary in price, eco-footprint, and environmental score, and different cars also have different fuel efficiencies and maintenance needs. Cars will also need gas and servicing occasionally; how often they’ll need these things depends on the type of car you have. Usually, though, servicing happens every 14-28 days (so, approximately once per season), and gas should be filled once every week or so. Cars can be sold, but not in buy mode; to sell a car, click on it, and choose “Sell Car” from the pie menu.

Sims will also need a license to drive. Sims apply for a license at the DMV, but teenage Sims will have to complete Driver’s Education lessons first. At 50 Simoleons per lesson, they can be expensive, so an older family member can also teach them for free. Once a teen is eligible to apply for a license, you’ll receive a notification, but you won’t know how they’re progressing, since driving is a hidden skill. Any Sim with a license can purchase a car. The Sim who purchases the car will be automatically assigned as its owner, but all Sims in the household can drive it.

7 New Subway System

For Sims who don’t want or can’t afford a car, anyone Child-Elder can use the subway. The Subway is the cheapest form of transportation, since it doesn’t require any servicing. 7, 14, and 28-day passes are available, after which a Sim won’t be able to travel unless they get a new pass, or a different mode of transportation. Unlike cars, which can be used by any Sim in a family who has a license, every Sim who wants to use the subway will need their own pass. Sims can also use the Subway in combination with things like bikes or cars, depending on the type of traveling they’re doing.

6 Improved Bikes

Bikes were first introduced with The Sims 4: Discover University, and SimNation Travel makes them function more like cars in terms of the care they need. Bikes can be purchased the usual way, but like cars, they’ll need to be registered in order to use them.

RELATED: The Sims 4: Everything You Need To Know About MissyHissy’s Hobby Mod

This means that they are only usable by the Sim who registers them; any other household members will need to buy and register their own bikes, or use another form of transportation. Like cars, also need servicing, which happens approximately once per season , or every 21 days. Bikes won’t be usable while they’re being serviced, but luckily, it only takes about 90 minutes.

5 Realistic Vacations

With SimNation Travel, Sims will need to pay a rental deposit and book international travel reservations. Deposits can range in price depending on what kind of vacation you’re taking, and Sims can pay within a range that they’re willing to put down. Sims can also choose whether to fly in Economy or First Class, which will result in a random buff, and a chance of losing their luggage. Only one reservation and deposit is needed per household, and everyone in a household will fly in the same class (Economy or First Class).

4 International Travel and Passports

Some vacation destinations are also considered International destinations, such as Batuu, Granite Falls, Mt. Komorebi, Selvadorada, Sulani, or Windenburg—if your Sims do not live there, of course. Travelling internationally requires a passport, which Sims can obtain with an online application, and a trip to the Passport office. Sims will receive their passports in anywhere from 12 to 48 hours, depending on the shipping and service they pay for, and passports and shipping each incur separate fees.

RELATED: Sims 4: All The Worlds, Ranked

Passports expire every 36 days, after which Sims will have to re-apply if they want to travel internationally again. You don’t need to have all of the packs listed ( Journey to Batuu , Outdoor Retreat , Snowy Escape , Jungle Adventure , Island Living , Get Together ) for the mod to work, but of course, you do need to have the packs associated with the aforementioned worlds in order to travel to them.

3 New Aspiration: Seasoned Traveler

International travel also counts toward this mod’s new aspiration, Seasoned Traveller. This aspect of the mods does require several packs to complete all of the associated goals, including Jungle Adventure, City Living, Snowy Escape, Outdoor Retreat, and Island Living. Fittingly, this aspiration involves a lot of traveling.

Completing this aspiration will give Sims the Prepared Travel reward trait, which reads: “These Sims enjoy traveling all over the world. They have an easier time learning new languages, socializing with strangers, and have more fun when they are not in their home region.” If you want your Sims to actually learn new languages, Adeepindigo recommends installing Frankk’s Language Barriers mod . Some of these aspiration milestones do involve learning languages, but the mod is not required to complete the aspiration.

2 New Career: Travel Critic

This new career is modeled off of the Art Critic Career that shipped with City Living , except this time you’re focusing on a more natural artistic landscape. Travel Critics will review food, drinks, and performances across the Sims universe, learning skills like photography, writing, and maybe even Selvadoradian culture skill.

Sims can go to work via the usual rabbit hole, or take advantage of new work-from-home interactions. Plus, the hours are short (which leaves plenty of time for exploring these new worlds on your own time!), and members of this career gain a boost to their language learning skills—though, this aspect of the mod also requires the Language Barriers mod to function properly. Again, you don’t need Language Barriers to play with SimNation Travel, but it does make the experience feel more complete.

1 Settings And Cheats

There’s a lot to play with here, and as you experience new parts of the mod, you may find yourself looking for a fresh start. Luckily, there is a way to completely reset all of your existing settings. Within the in-game cheats menu ( accessed by turning testingcheats on ), choosing Reset Mod from the menu will remove all cars, licenses, subway passes, and passports for every Sim in the neighborhood.

Bikes will stay, but they’ll function as they usually do without the mod’s augmented features. Adeepindigo recommends using the Reset Mod cheat if you’ve previously played with a test version of the mod prior to its official release.

Screen Rant

A sims 4 veteran discovers rare achievement that only a fraction of simmers will see.

A long-time Sims player got an extremely rare achievement that not many players will ever see, regardless of how long they play the game.

• Discover rare achievements like Legacy Leader by playing 10 households for 10 generations.
• The Alphabet Challenge requires 26 generations, no cheats, and adds a unique achievement.
• Players may get distracted easily, making long-term challenges like these difficult but rewarding.

One The Sims 4 veteran discovered a fun and rare achievement that not many players might be aware of . The Sims series is known for its interesting achievements and challenges that players can take on. Some challenges are created by Simmers, while others are created by Maxis itself. Some of the best Sims 4 challenges go hand in hand with achievements and are dependent on the players' preferences and time constraints. It makes sense that a lot of the achievements go unnoticed because of how in-depth they are, much like the one that this Simmer discovered after years of playing.

Reddit user thetiniestlifeboat shared a screenshot of the notification they received while playing The Sims 4 . The notification congratulated them on being a "Legacy Leader," which is described as playing 10 households for 10 generations in the same world .

This is an especially impressive feat because of how long it takes a lot of time to play through even one generation. Many comments in the post acknowledged that they had never known this challenge existed, most often citing their inability to make it past a few generations of one family.

10 Reasons You'll Never Quit The Sims 4 (Despite Its Flaws)

Official challenges go against the norm for sims players, many sims players have a more relaxed play style.

Another fun official challenge mentioned in the comments of the post is the Alphabet Challenge, which is when a player plays the same household for 26 generations and also unlocks an achievement . This has to be done organically without cheats or adding Sims to the household in CAS, otherwise the achievement will not unlock. The final generational challenge is when a player reaches 100 generations in one household and the achievement is called the "Legendary Legacy."

Though there is no way to track how many people have hit these milestones, it is likely the number is low for the Alphabet Challenge, and even lower for the Legendary Legacy.

Many players will play one household for a few months but then get bored and try something new. Players will often find something that takes their attention away from the main household they're playing. From testing out a new occult to trying to build something epic in The Sims 4 , no session is the same. It's also possible some players have attempted the challenge, but the game decided to throw them a curveball and do something sinister to their Sim, like death via hysteria.

Because of the way a lot of players play The Sims , it is not surprising that they don't stick with the same household for that long, let alone 10 households. Thanks to challenges like the "Not So Berry Challenge," which specifically challenges players to play for 10 generations, and the addition of more family-oriented in-game options, introduced in the Growing Together Sims 4 expansion pack , players have more ways to spice up their game play than ever before. Hopefully, this will encourage more people to try to reach these exciting milestones and hold their attention through more than just a few generations in The Sims 4 .

Blinken says the U.S. could take action if Israel fails to hold its troops accountable.

The Biden administration, which has been under pressure for its support of Israel’s war in Gaza, will not withhold military aid from a troubled military unit accused of human rights violations in the West Bank, so long as Israel continues with steps to hold the members of the unit accountable.

In an undated letter, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken told the House speaker, Mike Johnson, that the United States was working with Israel to address charges against the unit, the Netzah Yehuda battalion. Though the letter did not mention the battalion’s name, a U.S. official confirmed that Mr. Blinken was referring to Netzah Yehuda, which has been investigated for crimes in the West Bank predating the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack that set off the war in Gaza.

The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss delicate diplomacy, said that the Biden administration could still take action against Netzah Yehuda if it concludes that Israel has not taken sufficient steps to hold its members to account.

The letter, obtained by The New York Times, said the State Department had determined that Netzah Yehuda had committed “gross human rights violations” against Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

U.S. officials had reached similar findings about two other Israeli military units and two civilian units, the letter said, but in those cases the Biden administration had decided not to withhold military aid because Israel was already acting to “bring to justice” culpable service members.

Mr. Blinken assured Mr. Johnson in the letter, reported earlier by ABC News , that the United States “will not delay the delivery of any U.S. assistance, and Israel will be able to receive the full amount appropriated by Congress.”

Under federal statutes commonly known as the Leahy law , the U.S. government must deny aid to foreign military units found to have committed gross violations of human rights without accountability. The law allows for the targeting of individual units without cutting off entire foreign militaries.

It was not clear what practical effect any such move might have, given that funding of specific Israeli units is hard to track, and it is unclear whether the units mentioned in the letter receive American training or equipment.

Still, the news last week that U.S. officials were considering withholding aid from Israeli military units for abuses prompted a furious response from Israel and from Mr. Johnson, a strong supporter of the current Israeli government. Mr. Johnson said this week that he had called the White House in protest and had received an assurance in writing that none of the billions in additional U.S. aid to Israel approved by Congress this week would be affected.

The Biden administration has faced growing calls to restrict American aid to Israel over its military offensive in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attacks in October. President Biden so far has declined to place conditions on U.S. aid over Israel’s devastating tactics in the Gaza war, though he has taken several steps in response to violence by Israelis in the West Bank, including placing sanctions against several Israeli settlers for what the U.S. has called “extremist” acts of violence against Palestinians.

In his letter to the Republican House speaker, Mr. Blinken said that two Israeli battalions and “civilian authority units,” none of which he named, had committed human rights abuses but that he had “determined that the Israeli government has conducted effective remediation of the units involved.” He defined remediation as a process in which a foreign government takes “effective steps to bring to justice the responsible members of the unit.”

In the case of Netzah Yehuda, which he did not cite by name, he said that “there has not been effective remediation to date” but that the Israeli government “has presented new information regarding the status of the unit, and we will engage on identifying a path to effective remediation for this unit.”

Mr. Blinken is planning to travel to Israel next week for meetings with Israeli leaders to discuss efforts to free hostages from Gaza and an impending Israeli military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, an Israeli official said on Friday. It was not immediately clear whether he would discuss Netzah Yehuda. Mr. Blinken has discussed the matter by phone with senior Israeli officials in recent days.

Under the terms of a 10-year security agreement that the United States and Israel reached in 2016, the United States must consult with Israeli officials before placing restrictions on security assistance. That consultation is ongoing, according to the U.S. official.

Netzah Yehuda, which was created to accommodate the religious practices of Israel’s ultra-Orthodox community, has been repeatedly accused of mistreating Palestinians.

In January 2022, according to witnesses, its soldiers bound and gagged a 78-year-old Palestinian American who died of a heart attack while in military custody. An investigation concluded that the two soldiers who bound the man thought he was sleeping. The soldiers faced disciplinary action but no criminal charges were brought.

The unit was transferred in 2022 from the West Bank to the Golan Heights in northern Israel, according to Mr. Blinken’s letter.

Mr. Blinken added that no other Israeli units had been found culpable of rights violations under the Leahy Law and that the administration’s deliberations “will have no impact on our support for Israel’s ability to defend itself against Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah or other threats.”

Blinken will make another wartime trip to Israel.

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will visit Israel next week, an Israeli official said on Friday, as talks on a cease-fire deal that would allow for the release of hostages held in Gaza appear stalled and tensions have risen between Israel and the United States over the war.

The Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of lack of authorization to speak publicly on the matter, said talks with Mr. Blinken would center on hostages and an impending Israeli military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

Mr. Blinken last visited Israel in March, when he warned that its plans to invade Rafah , where more than a million displaced people are sheltering, would pose severe risks to civilians. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to press ahead with those plans, saying that such an operation is necessary to eliminate Hamas battalions in the city.

Still, the Biden administration has stuck by Israel as mediators have failed to broker even a temporary cease-fire in Gaza that would give Palestinians some respite and allow for the release of hostages abducted in the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel .

The United States has proposed a deal through Egyptian and Qatari intermediaries in which Hamas would release 40 of the most vulnerable hostages in exchange for a six-week truce and the release of hundreds of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. A senior Biden administration official who briefed reporters on Thursday on condition of anonymity under official ground rules put the blame solely on Hamas for blocking the deal.

The official said that while Israel had signaled it would accept those terms, the response from Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader hiding underground in Gaza, had been “totally nonconstructive.” Hamas has since signaled that it is not completely rejecting the deal and is willing to sit down again, the official said, adding that the United States and its partners would test that in coming days.

President Biden and the leaders of 17 other nations called on Hamas on Thursday to release all the hostages in a joint statement that appeared intended to send the message that the world is not entirely against Israel and that Hamas is the main impediment to ending the war.

Israel fires into Lebanon after a deadly Hezbollah missile strike.

An Israeli man was killed in an anti-tank missile attack from Lebanon, the Israeli military said on Friday, the latest in a growing string of civilian casualties on both sides of Israel’s northern border as tit-for-tat strikes intensify with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah .

The Israeli military said in a statement that the man had been carrying out “infrastructure work” when two anti-tank missiles were fired late Thursday into the area of Har Dov in northern Israel, a disputed sliver of land where Israel, Lebanon and Syria meet. Also known as the Shebaa Farms, the area is claimed by Lebanon but occupied by Israel, and has long been a crucible for violence.

Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful regional proxy , described the overnight attack as an “ambush,” claiming that two vehicles had been destroyed in a combined missile, artillery and rocket assault on an Israeli military base in the area. The Israeli military statement did not say whether a base had been hit.

Kan, Israel’s public broadcaster, identified the man killed as Sharif Suwayed, 35, and said that his truck had been hit while he was working to improve defenses at a military base, modifications that were being carried out at night to protect against Hezbollah attacks. The Israeli military was investigating, the broadcaster reported.

Israeli forces responded by striking Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon, among them a weapon storage facility and military compound, according to a military statement. Lebanese state media reported on Friday that multiple towns had been targeted by heavy Israeli bombardment, damaging dozens of houses. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

The fighting between Hezbollah and Israel, the heaviest between the sides in nearly two decades, has shown no sign of subsiding. Israeli strikes inside Lebanon have begun to creep deeper into the country’s interior, though the hostilities for now have been confined largely to areas along the Israeli-Lebanese border.

In Israel, 19 soldiers and civilians have been killed in the recent violence, which began after Hezbollah launched rockets into northern Israel in support of the deadly Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7.

More than 70 civilians have been killed in Lebanon, along with roughly 270 Hezbollah fighters, the group has said, a figure that exceeds its losses in the 2006 war with Israel .

Yoav Gallant, Israel’s defense minister, said this week that its strikes had eliminated half of Hezbollah’s commanders in southern Lebanon, although experts expressed skepticism about that claim . They also have cast doubt on whether targeted killings of commanders could achieve Israel’s goal of pushing Hezbollah farther from the border, reducing the threat of attacks and allowing the tens of thousands of Israeli civilians displaced by the fighting to return to their homes.

A baby born in Gaza after her mother was killed in an Israeli strike dies less than a week later.

A baby who was delivered through an emergency cesarean section after her mother was killed in an Israeli strike died on Thursday, a relative said, less than a week after news of her birth brought a glimmer of hope to war-torn Gaza.

The baby, who was born prematurely after a strike in southern Gaza that also killed her father and sister, suffered respiratory problems, and doctors were unable to save her, said her uncle, Rami al-Sheikh.

“I buried her in her father’s grave,” he said in a phone interview on Friday.

The mother, Sabreen al-Sakani, was killed along with her husband, Shukri, and their 3-year-old daughter, Malak, when an Israeli strike hit their home in the city of Rafah shortly before midnight last Saturday. Rescue crews took the bodies to the Emirati Hospital in Rafah, where doctors performed a cesarean section on Ms. al-Sakani, who was 30 weeks pregnant.

The girls’ uncle said that Malak had wanted to name her little sister Rouh, the Arabic word for soul. The extended family decided instead to name her after her mother, Sabreen.

Sabreen weighed just three pounds at birth, said Dr. Mohammed Salama, head of the neonatal intensive care unit at Emirati Hospital. Her birth was captured on video by a journalist from the Reuters news agency, who filmed doctors providing artificial respiration to her after she emerged, pale and limp, from her mother.

Instead of a name, doctors initially wrote, “The baby of the martyr Sabreen al-Sakani” on a piece of tape across her chest.

“The baby was delivered into a tragic situation,” Dr. Salama told Reuters, adding, “Even if this baby survives, she was born an orphan.”

Drone attack kills 4 workers in an Iraqi gas field, but no one claims responsibility.

A drone attack on a large gas field in Iraq’s Kurdistan region killed four workers and plunged much of eastern Kurdistan into darkness because it relies on gas to fuel its electrical plants, according to a Kurdistan regional government spokesman.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. While Iranian-backed armed groups have bases in the area, there are many competing interests in Kurdistan, leaving it unclear whether the attacks are part of the larger regional fight between Iran and Israel, which has intensified during the war in Gaza.

The Kurdistan region’s president, Nechirvan Barzani, condemned the attack and called on the government in Baghdad to investigate. “These attacks endanger the peace and stability of the country,” Mr. Barzani said, adding, “The representatives of the Iraqi federal government must do their duty to prevent these attacks and find the perpetrators from any side and punish them according to the law.”

Iraq’s joint command in Baghdad issued a statement calling the attack “sabotage,” confirming that a drone was used. The statement said Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al Sudani had ordered an investigation.

Friday’s drone attack was the second so far this year on the Khor Mor field in Sulaymaniyah Province. The last one, in January, did not inflict casualties.

“Four Yemeni workers have been killed, and the field has been severely damaged, which will cause electricity shortages,” said Peshawa Hawramani, a spokesman for the Kurdistan regional government.

Almost a million people in Sulaymaniyah Province were left without power, along with thousands more in adjacent provinces. It took about 24 hours to restore electricity after the last attack, but because the damage was greater this time, Kurdish authorities said it could take longer. While hospitals and security services have large generators, many ordinary residents have access only to limited power from shared generators.

Claims of responsibility were never made for previous attacks on the gas field, which is operated by Dana Gas, based in the United Arab Emirates, and a related company, Crescent Petroleum.

While the drone attack could stem from the regional conflict between Iran and Israel, there are other tensions in the region — between internal Iraqi factions and between Baghdad and Kurdistan. There has been a multiyear effort by the Iraqi federal government in Baghdad and the courts to reduce the Kurdistan region’s control over its natural resources.

At the same time, there is tension between Iran and Iraq over any efforts by Iraq to expand domestic gas production. Iran sells about $4 billion of gas to Iraq each year because Iraq does not have enough gas to fuel its electricity plants. Kurdistan and the Iraqi government had been discussing expansion of the Khor Mor field.

Rabbis are arrested near the Gaza-Israel border at a rally to highlight starvation.

Police arrest group of rabbis and activists near gaza, the israeli police arrested rabbis and peace activists near the border with gaza..

[singing] You can arrest us, but we’re going to walk slowly, our way towards the crossing.

Seven rabbis and peace activists were arrested on Friday near the border with Gaza after they tried to take food supplies into the territory, according to two participants and the campaign group that organized the effort.

The detainees were among a group of roughly 30 rabbis and activists from Israel and the United States who were stopped by police officers as they tried to reach the Erez crossing, a major transit point between Israel and northern Gaza.

Organized by Rabbis for Ceasefire, a peace movement based in the United States, the effort was intended to build support for a truce and to highlight rising reports of starvation in Gaza . A global authority on food security, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification initiative, has predicted an imminent famine in northern Gaza, the area of the territory closest to Erez.

The protest was timed to coincide with the week of Passover , a Jewish festival that celebrates the biblical story of the liberation of Jews from slavery in ancient Egypt.

“We were making the point that Jewish liberation is bound up with Palestinian liberation, that we want freedom for all,” said Toba Spitzer, a rabbi from Boston who attended the protest but was not arrested.

The group had tried to drive into Gaza with a pickup truck carrying half a ton of rice and flour but was stopped roughly a third of a mile from the border, Rabbi Spitzer said. The effort was largely symbolic and the organizers expected it to fail given the restrictions along the border; the supplies will now be donated to needy Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Rabbi Spitzer said.

The Israeli police did not respond to requests for comment.

The author Ayelet Waldman of Berkeley, Calif., was among those arrested, her husband, the author Michael Chabon, said on Instagram .

There are widespread food shortages in Gaza. Israeli restrictions on where convoys can enter the strip, Israeli bombardment and widespread damage to roads, the collapse of Gazan agriculture, and a breakdown in law and order have all made it harder to distribute aid safely.

Aid groups and United Nations officials have accused Israel of systematically limiting aid delivery. Israel denies the assertion, blaming the shortages on logistical failures by aid groups, and has recently increased the number of trucks entering the strip.

Israeli officials say that the Erez crossing, which was primarily used for pedestrian traffic before the war, is difficult to use for aid delivery because it lacks the right infrastructure and was also badly damaged during the Hamas-led raid on Israel in October.

A majority of Jewish Israelis oppose the delivery of more aid to Gaza, according to a poll conducted in February by the Israel Democracy Institute, a Jerusalem-based research group.

Israeli protesters regularly gather at another crossing point farther south, trying to block aid convoys entering Gaza .

The U.S. Army has begun work on a floating pier to move aid from ships into Gaza, the Pentagon says.

Army engineers on Thursday began construction of a floating pier and causeway for humanitarian aid off the coast of Gaza, which, when completed, could help relief workers deliver as many as two million meals a day for the enclave’s residents, Defense Department officials said.

The construction on the “initial stages of the temporary pier and causeway at sea” means that the project’s timing is in line with what Pentagon officials had predicted, Maj. Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, the Defense Department’s press secretary, said. The construction is meant to allow humanitarian aid to bypass Israeli restrictions on land convoys into the besieged strip.

General Ryder said that defense officials expected the project, ordered up by President Biden early last month, to be completed early next month. The facility is meant to include an offshore platform to transfer aid from ships, and a floating pier to bring the aid to shore.

Aid organizations have welcomed the plan, which will be an addition to the airdrops of humanitarian supplies that the U.S. military has been conducting over Gaza. But aid workers say, and defense officials have acknowledged, that the maritime project is not an adequate substitute for land convoys. Such aid convoys fell sharply when the war began more than six months ago and have only partly recovered .

Some U.S. military officials have also privately expressed security concerns about the project, and General Ryder said that the military was looking into a mortar attack on Wednesday that caused minimal damage in the area where some pier work is supposed to be done. However, he said, U.S. forces had not started moving anything into the area at the time of the mortar attacks.

The floating pier is being built alongside an Army ship off the Gaza coast. Army ships are large, lumbering vessels, so they have armed escorts, particularly as they get within range of Gaza’s coast, defense officials have said.

The United Nations says famine is likely to set in within Gaza by the end of May.

Aid workers have described bottlenecks for aid at border crossings because of lengthy inspections of trucks, limited crossing hours and protests by Israelis, and they have highlighted the difficulty of distributing aid inside Gaza. Israeli officials have denied that they are hampering the flow of aid, saying the United Nations and aid groups are responsible for any backlogs.

Senior Biden administration and military officials detailed a complex plan in a Pentagon call with reporters on Thursday afternoon, explaining how the pier and causeway are being put together, and how it is supposed to work. Army engineers are constructing the facility aboard Navy ships in the eastern Mediterranean. One official said that the “at-sea assembly of key pieces” of the pier began on Thursday.

Biden officials are insistent that the Pentagon can carry out aid deliveries through the floating pier without putting American boots on the ground in Gaza. Officials described a complicated shuttle system, through which aid would be loaded onto Navy ships in Cyprus and transported to a causeway — a floating platform — at sea.

The Pentagon’s military acronym for the project is J-Lots, for Joint Logistics Over the Shore.

The causeway at sea is different from the floating pier where the aid will be offloaded into Gaza. An engineering unit with the Israeli military will anchor the floating pier to the Gaza shore, a senior military official told reporters in the Pentagon call.

Shuttle boats run by aid organizations, the United Nations or other countries are then expected to transport the aid to the floating pier, where it is to be loaded onto trucks driven by “a third party,” the official said. He declined to identify the third party.

The official said that Israel was dedicating a brigade to provide security for the American troops and aid workers working on the pier.

The operation is expected to bring in enough aid for around 90 trucks a day, a number that will increase to 150 trucks a day when the system reaches full operating capacity, the official said.
