Trump says Gaza ceasefire is 'possible'
Ammon News - US President Donald Trump said on Monday that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza was "possible." Trump stated he had talked to Israeli officials and told them they may need to do things a different way. He made the comments to reporters at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland where he was meeting UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Trump also expressed his frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "I'm disappointed in President Putin," he said. He added that he would be reducing a 50-day deadline he gave Russia over its war with Ukraine. On July 14, Trump said he would impose tariffs and sanctions on Russia if Moscow would not make a ceasefire agreement within 50 days. "I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number," he said. He did not give a new deadline.

'I'm afraid to go home': Website exposes Canadians serving in 'Israeli' military
A website, has ignited a heated controversy in Canada by compiling and publishing publicly available information on Canadians who have served in the 'Israeli' military. This project defines 'Canadian' as someone who is a Canadian citizen, and/or has lived in Canada for a significant amount of time, and/or currently lives in Canada. Launched on February 24, 2024, by The Maple, an online publication with a pro-Palestinian and anti-'Israel' stance, the site claims its purpose is to help readers understand the motivations of Canadians joining the 'Israeli' military by aggregating details from public sources . Davide Mastracci, The Maple's opinion editor, has publicly accused 'Israel' of planned genocide in Gaza. However, the initiative has been met with strong accusations of "doxxing" from those listed and their families, who view the compilation as an act of intimidation. Globally, there's a growing trend of legal complaints targeting 'Israeli' soldiers based heavily on open-source material, leading the 'Israeli' military to reportedly no longer allow soldiers to be identified by name. Legal Ambiguity of "Doxxing" A key point of contention is Canada's legal landscape. "Doxxing" itself is not a defined criminal offense in Canada . While the act of publishing private information for harassment is widely condemned, legal experts note that proving intent to harm is an "uphill battle" for potential lawsuits. Mastracci asserts that every profile is "based entirely on public information gathered through simple Google searches from news articles, social media profiles, newsletters, websites, public directories and other sources," with each claim hyperlinked to its original public source. He emphasizes that the information's origin lies with the soldiers themselves, their family members, or media outlets where they "willingly shared their status as a soldier". The project, he suggests, implicitly challenges why such information was made public in the first place. "I'm afraid to go home" "I'm afraid to go home," one Canadian reservist expressed, while another, Nati Hubberman, a dual Canadian-'Israeli' citizen, recounted asking, "Is it safe for me to fly to Canada?" after seeing his name on the site, in statements made to 'The Times of Israel'. Canadians in Foreign Militaries and RCMP Scrutiny Serving in foreign militaries, including the 'Israeli' military, is generally legal for Canadian citizens. The 1937 Foreign Enlistment Act primarily prohibits recruitment within Canada, not service abroad . The RCMP previously closed an investigation into alleged illegal 'Israeli' recruitment in Canada without charges in June 2023 . However, a separate, ongoing RCMP probe into "core international crimes" related to the 'Israeli' aggression on Gaza, launched in early 2024, has added a new layer of anxiety. While not a criminal investigation at this stage, the RCMP is collecting information and has not ruled out future prosecution if a perpetrator with a "nexus to Canada" is identified.

Global Oil Prices Rise Amid Trade Optimism and Supply Uncertainty - Jordan News
Oil prices rose on Monday following signs of easing global trade tensions, as the United States reached a trade agreement with the European Union and talks progressed toward extending tariff suspensions with China. These developments helped ease fears that escalating trade disputes could hurt global economic activity and reduce fuel demand. اضافة اعلان By 03:36 GMT, Brent crude futures had increased by 20 cents (0.29%) to $68.64 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose 15 cents (0.23%) to $65.31 per barrel. Market analyst Tony Sycamore from IG noted that the U.S.–EU trade framework and potential tariff suspension with China are supporting global markets and oil prices. 'With the looming risk of a prolonged trade war, calming down the August tariff deadlines has triggered a positive market response,' he said. U.S.–EU Trade Deal and China Talks The U.S.–EU agreement, reached Sunday, imposes 15% tariffs on most EU goods—half the threatened rate—averting a broader trade war between the two major economic powers, who collectively represent nearly one-third of global trade. This has the potential to stabilize oil demand globally. Meanwhile, U.S. and Chinese negotiators were set to meet in Stockholm on Monday, aiming to extend a trade truce ahead of the August 12 deadline that could otherwise reinstate high tariffs. Oil Prices Rebound After Three-Week Lows Oil prices had fallen to three-week lows last Friday amid global trade uncertainty and anticipated increases in Venezuelan oil output. Venezuela's state oil company, PDVSA, is preparing to resume operations in its joint ventures under licensing terms similar to those granted during the Biden administration. This follows expectations that former President Donald Trump, if re-elected, may reauthorize oil-for-services contracts. Despite Monday's modest rebound, gains were limited due to speculation that OPEC+ might ease production limits further. OPEC+ Meeting and Supply Outlook The OPEC+ Joint Market Monitoring Committee was scheduled to meet Monday at 12:00 GMT. According to four OPEC+ delegates, it is unlikely that the eight core members will propose changes to the current plan to increase output by 548,000 barrels per day in August, although one source noted it was still too early to be certain. Analysts at ING expect OPEC+ to fully unwind the 2.2 million barrels per day of voluntary supply cuts by end of September, beginning with at least 280,000 bpd in September alone. However, there remains room for more aggressive increases as the group seeks to regain market share, particularly amid rising summer demand. JPMorgan analysts reported that global oil demand rose by 600,000 bpd in July compared to the previous year, while global inventories increased by 1.6 million bpd. Regional Tensions: Houthi Threats Against Israeli Shipping In the Middle East, tensions escalated as Yemen's Houthi movement declared on Sunday its intention to target vessels of companies dealing with Israeli ports, regardless of nationality. This marks the start of what they called the fourth phase of military operations against Israel in response to the Gaza conflict. Despite supply uncertainties, geopolitical risks, and shifting trade dynamics, oil markets remain volatile and sensitive to both macroeconomic and regional developments.
