Trump may visit Israel, says White House
"The president is going to visit Britain in September, and it's possible he'll stop in Israel, but it's not certain and not yet certain," an American source told Ynet newspaper, noting: "It depends on developments, of course."
An Israeli source confirmed his words, saying, "There are indeed speculations about a Trump visit, but there's nothing concrete yet. It's something that's up in the air."
Trump is expected to visit Britain at the invitation of King Charles on September 17-19.
The White House is currently exploring the possibility of the president visiting Israel before then – but that depends on developments in talks on a ceasefire and an end to the war in Gaza. Trump would like to visit Israel if the negotiations are successful.

'Israeli' reservist, served in Gaza found dead in apparent suicide
Captain Yosef Haim Ashraf, a 28-year-old Israeli Occupation Forces commando unit reservist, was found dead Thursday in Switzerland Forest near Tiberias in an apparent suicide, local media reported. The IOF Military Police believes he took his own life by detonating a grenade. Ashraf had recently served with the 99th Division in the Gaza Strip and was part of a newly formed unit involved in recent military operations. The IOF said the Military Police Investigation unit has opened an inquiry into the circumstances of his death. According to official IOF data, suicides among soldiers on active duty, both regular and reservists, have increased since the start of the war. From October 7, 2023, to the end of that year, seven soldiers committed suicide, and in 2024, 21 soldiers took their own lives. This year, 18 soldiers on active duty have died by suicide, including Ashraf, marking the 17th confirmed case within the IOF this year. The 'Israeli' army has continued its operations in Gaza since October 2023, amid international calls for a ceasefire. The conflict has resulted in over 61,700 Palestinian deaths, described by some as the second year of genocide in the enclave.

VIDEO: Trump, Putin shake hands ahead of high-stakes summit
US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin began talks on Friday at a military base in Alaska aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. The summit began with a handshake and exchange of greetings between the two leaders, who were joined by senior officials. Journalists were ushered out of the meeting room shortly afterward, where a backdrop displayed the words 'Pursuing Peace.' The face-to-face talks are being closely watched by European nations and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was not included in the discussions and has publicly resisted Trump's pressure to cede territory seized by Russia. The Alaska summit marks a high-profile attempt by both leaders to address one of the world's ongoing conflicts, with global attention focused on any potential breakthroughs or agreements that may emerge.
