Trump: Israel has agreed to ‘necessary conditions' for 60-day Gaza ceasefire
Washington – U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that Israel has agreed to the 'necessary conditions' to finalize a 60-day ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump said his team held a 'long and productive meeting' with Israeli officials earlier that day.
'Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day ceasefire, during which time we will work with all parties to end the war,' he stated.
He noted that mediators Qatar and Egypt would present the final proposal to the Palestinian group Hamas.
'I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas accepts this deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE,' Trump warned.
Speaking to reporters earlier, Trump said he hopes a ceasefire will be in place 'sometime next week.'
He also confirmed he will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, DC, next week to discuss Gaza and Iran. 'He's coming here. We're going to talk about a lot of things — the great success we had in Iran, and we're also going to talk about Gaza,' Trump said.

Trump says "didn't make any progress at all" with Putin during phone call
Washington, DC: US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that in his recent phone call with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, he had made "no progress at all" on efforts to end the conflict in Ukraine. Speaking to reporters on Thursday (US local time), Trump stated that over their phone call he and Putin discussed a lot of things, including Iran and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. "We had a call. It was a pretty long call. We talked about a lot of things including Iran and we also talked about, as you know, the war with Ukraine. I'm not happy about that," Trump said. Asked whether any progress was made on potential deal to end the conflict in Ukraine , Trump responded, "No. I didn't make any progress with him today at all." During their telephonic conversation, Putin made it clear that Russia will "not back down" on its goal of "eliminating" the root cause of the war in Ukraine, Al Jazeera reported. "Russia will not back down," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters after Putin's call with Trump. However, he added that Putin expressed "readiness" to "seek a political and negotiated solution to the conflict. "Putin emphasised that Russia seeks to achieve its goals in Ukraine and remove the "root causes" of the conflict, Ushakov said. The "root cause" here refers to Ukraine's push to join NATO, following which Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 to prevent Kyiv from joining the US-centric alliance. The Trump-Putin phone call between two leaders came a day after the US paused promised weapon deliveries to Kyiv, including air defence missiles and precision-guided artillery, Al Jazeera reported. On June 27, Putin said Russia will no longer engage in "one-sided" games with the West, RT reported. He made these remarks while addressing a press conference on the sidelines of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) summit in Minsk. According to RT, Putin said that Western nations have repeatedly betrayed Russia by not honouring their promises regarding NATO expansion and resolving the Ukraine conflict. He emphasised that NATO is using alleged Russian "aggressiveness" to justify plans to increase defence spending to 5 per cent of member states' GDP and bolster military presence in Europe. "They [the West] are turning everything upside down," Putin said. "No one is saying a word about how we've come up to the Russian special military operation," he continued, asserting that the Ukraine conflict's origins date back decades, when Moscow was "blatantly lied to" about NATO's intentions. "What followed was one expansion wave after another," he added. Putin said Russia's repeated security concerns regarding NATO's activities were ignored by the West. He said, "Isn't it aggressive behaviour? That is precisely aggressive behaviour, which the West does not want to pay attention to." The Russian President also accused Western nations of supporting separatist and terrorist movements as long as they targeted Russia.

Trump shows frustration as Republicans struggle to unite on tax-cut bill
WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at congressional Republicans on Thursday for failing to swiftly pass his signature legislation, warning them on social media they would lose MAGA votes if the bill died. Republicans in the House of Representatives on Wednesday appeared to advance Trump's massive tax-cut and spending bill, but then progress stalled with a handful of holdouts refusing to vote for a bill that nonpartisan analysts say will add $3.4 trillion to the nation's $36.2 trillion in debt over the next decade. The holdouts could switch their vote and support the president as Republican leaders held open the vote while they continued to negotiate. Trump argued the legislation would promote economic growth and said it was popular with his MAGA base. The package contains most of the president's top domestic priorities: extending his 2017 tax cuts, cutting health and food safety net programs, funding Trump's immigration crackdown, and zeroing out many green-energy incentives. It also includes a $5 trillion increase in the nation's debt ceiling, which lawmakers must address in the coming months or risk a devastating default. As a marathon session on Wednesday dragged into the early morning hours of Thursday, Trump and his allies appeared frustrated that the legislation had yet to clear a procedural hurdle, with voting continuing in the U.S. House of Representatives. That vote was needed to advance the bill to a final vote on the House floor. Trump warned Republicans who were not on board that they would lose support from his base, posting on his Truth Social platform that the holdout was "ridiculous." In a post after midnight U.S. eastern time, he wrote: "FOR REPUBLICANS, THIS SHOULD BE AN EASY YES VOTE. RIDICULOUS!!!" In another earlier post he had written: "What are the Republicans waiting for??? What are you trying to prove??? MAGA IS NOT HAPPY, AND IT'S COSTING YOU VOTES!!!" A handful of so-called fiscal hawks, who oppose deficit spending, have voted "no" along with all the House Democrats, who are critical of cuts to social spending. The Medicaid cuts have also raised concerns among some Republicans, prompting the Senate to set aside more money for rural hospitals. The Senate passed Trump's legislation by the narrowest possible margin on Tuesday after intense debate on the bill's hefty price tag and $900 million in cuts to the Medicaid healthcare program for low-income Americans. Any changes made by the House would require another Senate vote, which would make it all but impossible to meet the July 4 Independence Day deadline set by Trump. Democrats are united in opposition to the bill, saying that its tax breaks disproportionately benefit the wealthy while cutting services that lower- and middle-income Americans rely on. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that almost 12 million people could lose health insurance as a result of the bill. "This bill is catastrophic. It is not policy, it is punishment," Democratic Representative Jim McGovern said in debate on the House floor. Republicans in Congress have struggled to stay united in recent years, but they also have not defied Trump since he returned to the White House in January.

Women in Arab Media: Rising Voices, Persistent Barriers
Arab women have significantly impacted the media landscape, serving as presenters, journalists, writers, and leaders. In recent years, they have made notable progress across various media sectors, gaining more opportunities in print, radio, television, and digital platforms. Influential female figures have emerged, shaping public opinion and making their mark even in conflict reporting. Among these trailblazers, Shireen Abu Akleh stands out for her dedicated journalism that reshaped media coverage in Palestine. As a seasoned correspondent for Al Jazeera, she broadened international focus on Palestinian issues, highlighting the struggles and narratives of the Palestinian people. Her professional and thorough reporting aimed to present the Palestinian voice authentically. Shireen became a recognised figure in both Palestinian and Arab households, celebrated for her insightful and timely content. Her untimely death in 2022 was a significant loss to the journalistic community. In Egypt, Lamis El Hadidi has emerged as a key media personality known for her in-depth coverage of political and social issues. With a neutral and professional approach, she has effectively spotlighted corruption and injustice within Egyptian and Arab communities, particularly concerning vulnerable groups. Lamis is also dedicated to advocating for women's rights and promoting tolerance in Arab societies. While many Arab women face significant hurdles in media employment due to deep-rooted gender biases, Oman presents a different narrative marked by progressive changes and supportive frameworks. A trailblazer in this regard is Muna Mahfoudh, recognised as Oman's first female television presenter. Starting her career during a time when women's representation in media was scarce, Muna encountered numerous challenges, including societal doubts and limited opportunities. However, her determination, along with community and government support for gender equality, allowed her to succeed as a respected media figure. Building upon this foundation, Omani women are increasingly thriving in diverse media roles, from journalism to digital platforms. Pioneers like Rahma Hussain Al Issa and Muzna Al Musafer are leading the way. Muzna, Oman's first female film director, has profoundly impacted the media landscape through her work in filmmaking, mentorship, and cultural advocacy. Her acclaimed films, such as Niqaab and Cholo, have received international accolades, with Cholo winning Best Script at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival in 2013. Beyond directing, she mentors aspiring filmmakers, conducts workshops, and organises screenings to promote Omani cinema. Her active participation in regional film festivals and discussions about Gulf cinema's future further enriches Oman's media community, reflecting the country's cultural diversity. This progress is further supported by government initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality and empowering women. The Basic Law and labour regulations aligned with international standards have created a favourable environment for women's workforce participation. Huda Hamad, an Omani writer and journalist, has remarked on the remarkable evolution of women's representation in Omani cultural media. Women are taking on various roles, indicating a commitment to gender inclusivity. Despite ongoing challenges, such as balancing work and personal life, there is a clear movement towards greater inclusion. Initiatives like the 'Tasmu' programme by the Royal Academy of Management are vital for enhancing women's leadership skills across sectors. Launched in 2024, Tasmu aims to develop the leadership capabilities of Omani women across the public and private sectors, and civil society, aligning with Oman Vision 2040's goal of fostering an environment where women can excel. Complementing these efforts, programmes like Sidrah 3.0 empower young Omani women to effect change in their communities. Sidrah 3.0, a transformative six-month youth leadership development programme, recently celebrated the graduation of 61 participants from nine governorates. The programme emphasises leadership, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship, preparing participants to thrive as future leaders and aligning with Oman Vision 2040's objectives. Through these combined efforts, Omani women are not only breaking barriers in media but are also shaping the nation's future across various sectors.
