‘Finish The Job': Trump Says Israel Must ‘Get Rid' Of Hamas As Ceasefire Talks Collapse
Last Updated: Speaking to reporters in Washington before departing for Scotland, Trump declared that Hamas didn't want to make a deal regarding a truce and the release of hostages. US President Donald Trump on Friday blamed Hamas for the collapse of talks for a Gaza ceasefire, backing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to intensify military efforts to 'get rid" of the Palestinian militant group. Speaking to reporters in Washington before departing for Scotland, Trump declared that Hamas didn't want to make a deal regarding a truce and the release of hostages. 'Now we're down to the final hostages, and they know what happens after you get the final hostages. And basically because of that, they didn't want to make a deal," he said. Referring to Hamas, he added, 'I think they want to die." The US president said the Hamas leaders are now 'going to be hunted down," adding that Israel 'will have to finish the job… they'll have to fight and clean it up." . @POTUS on Hamas and Gaza: 'They pulled out in terms of negotiating. It was too bad. Hamas didn't really want to make a deal. I think they want to die." — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) July 25, 2025 Trump's remarks followed the decision by his Middle East peace envoy, Steve Witkoff, to withdraw the US negotiating team from the Gaza ceasefire talks for further consultations in Washington. 'His remarks contradict the reality of recent negotiations and serve the Israeli position," Naim said, after Witkoff blamed Hamas for obstructing a deal. The talks have remained stalled for more than two weeks. On Thursday, both the US and Israel exited the negotiations, with Witkoff indicating that Hamas was at fault and that Washington would now explore 'alternative options."

‘Very Close To US Trade Deal': Pakistan Jumps The Gun As Washington Maintains Silence
Last Updated: Pakistan's Ishaq Dar met Marco Rubio in the US and claimed that both countries were "very close" to finalising a trade deal. However, no such timeline was given by the US. Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Friday said that his country and the United States were 'very close" to a trade deal, and it could be 'just days" before it's finalised. However, Washington did not issue any timeline for the same and maintained dead silence on Dar's claims. 'I think we are very close to finalizing a deal with the US. Our teams have been here in Washington, discussing, having virtual meetings, and a committee has been tasked by the prime minister to fine-tune now," Dar said in a discussion at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington, news agency Reuters reported. 'It's not going to be months, not even weeks, I would say (just) days," he said. US President Donald Trump has imposed hefty tariffs on several countries, prompting nations to carry out trade negotiations with the US. He has so far announced trade deals with the UK, Indonesia, and Japan. Separate statements from the US State Department and Pakistan's foreign ministry after Marco Rubio's meeting with Dar said that the two sides discussed expanding trade and ties in critical minerals and mining. However, neither the State Department's statement nor Rubio's post on X mentioned any timeline for finalising or announcing a trade deal with Pakistan. 'Met with Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister @MIshaqDar50 today to discuss expanding bilateral trade and enhancing collaboration in the critical minerals sector. I also thanked him for Pakistan's partnership in countering terrorism and preserving regional stability," Rubio tweeted. The Pakistani foreign ministry also said that its leader 'appreciated the pivotal role" of Trump and Rubio 'in de-escalating tensions between Pakistan and India by facilitating a ceasefire." However, the US State Department statement had no mention of India. More to follow… view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Kangana Ranaut Backs Banning OTT Platforms For Soft Porn Content: 'Highly Appreciated'
Last Updated: The government has directed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to disable public access to 25 OTT platforms. Actress and politician Kangana Ranaut has wholeheartedly welcomed the government's decision to ban OTT platforms such as Ullu, ALTT, and Desiflix for showing soft porn content. The government has directed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to disable public access to 25 OTT platforms – Big Shots App, Boomex, Navarasa Lite, Gulab App, Kangan App, Bull App, Jalva App, Wow Entertainment, Look Entertainment, Hitprime, Feneo, ShowX, Sol Talkies, Adda TV, HotX VIP, Hulchul App, MoodX, NeonX VIP, Fugi, Mojflix, and Triflicks. Speaking exclusively to IANS, the 'Queen' actress lauded the government's decision, saying that it was crucial to preserve our culture and future generations. Kangana told IANS, 'In order to preserve the overall culture of our country and the future path of our youngsters, and so that our society does not collapse completely, this step was much-awaited and is now much-appreciated. The action taken against these apps, especially the illegal ones, is highly appreciated." The government has asked the Internet Service Providers to disable or remove public access to these websites within the country. According to the media report, 'MIB has also intimated to the Director (DS-II), Department of Telecommunications, with a request to facilitate compliance by the ISPs." The above-mentioned apps have been found in violation of various laws, such as Section 67 and Section 67A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, Section 294 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, and Section 4 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986. Refreshing your memory, back in April, a petition was filed in the Supreme Court asking for a ban on sexually explicit content on OTT and social media. Responding to the petition, the Apex court said, 'It's not our domain, you do something". However, SC stressed the need for executive action in the matter. Meanwhile, talking about Kangana Ranaut, the actress was last seen in Emergency. The film, which was released in January this year, was a biopic of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Grandhi.
