Newsom account knocks Dana Perino over criticism of posts: ‘They still don't get it'
A social media account run by the press office of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) knocked Fox News anchor Dana Perino after she criticized the Democrat's press strategy. 'ALMOST A WEEK IN AND THEY STILL DON'T GET IT,' the governor's office wrote Monday on social platform X in response to a segment on Fox's daytime table talk program 'The Five.' During the segment, Perino, who served as a top White House aide during former President George W. Bush's administration, said Newsom and his team 'have to stop at with the Twitter thing.' 'I don't know where his wife is,' she continued. 'If I were his wife, I would say you are making a fool of yourself, stop it.' Newsom's press account has in recent days made a series of posts mocking President Trump and his administration, writing in all caps — the president's signature style — and attacking Fox News and its hosts directly. A recent example came amid the redistricting battle that has spread across the U.S. after Texas Democrats fled the Lone Star Stat e to avoid voting on a map that could give Republicans up to five additional House seats in next year's midterms. Newsom pressed Trump to pull back the GOP efforts. 'DONALD TRUMP, THE LOWEST POLLING PRESIDENT IN RECENT HISTORY, THIS IS YOUR SECOND-TO-LAST WARNING!!! (THE NEXT ONE IS THE LAST ONE!),' Newsom's press office posted on X. 'STAND DOWN NOW OR CALIFORNIA WILL COUNTER-STRIKE (LEGALLY!) TO DESTROY YOUR ILLEGAL CROOKED MAPS IN RED STATES.' California Democrats unveiled legislation Monday to move forward with their own redistricting plan to counteract the Texas moves. The governor's pushback on Trump comes amid speculation he could be eyeing a run for president in 2028. 'He's got a big job as governor of California but if he wants an even bigger job, he has to be a little bit more serious,' Perino said.

Qatar urges a Gaza ceasefire after ‘positive response' from Hamas
JERUSALEM — A key mediator on Tuesday stressed the urgency of brokering a ceasefire in Gaza after Hamas showed a 'positive response' to a proposal, but Israel has yet to weigh in as its military prepares an offensive on some of the territory's most populated areas. The prospect of an expanded assault on areas sheltering hundreds of thousands of civilians has sparked condemnation inside Israel and abroad. Most war-weary Palestinians see no place in Gaza as safe, not even declared humanitarian zones, after 22 months of war. Many Israelis, who rallied in the hundreds of thousands on Sunday, fear the offensive will further endanger the remaining hostages in Gaza. Just 20 of the 50 remaining are thought to be alive. 'If this (ceasefire) proposal fails, the crisis will exacerbate,' Majed al-Ansari, a spokesperson for Qatar's foreign ministry, told journalists, adding they have yet to hear from Israel on it. Al-Ansari said Hamas had agreed to terms under discussion. He declined to provide details but said the proposal was 'almost identical' to one previously advanced by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. That U.S. proposal was for a 60-day ceasefire, during which some of the remaining hostages would be released and the sides would negotiate a lasting ceasefire and the return of the rest. 'If we get to a deal, it shouldn't be expected that it would be instantaneously implemented,' al-Ansari said. 'We're not there yet.' That cautious assessment came a day after the foreign minister of Egypt, the other Arab country mediating the talks, said they were were pushing for a phased deal and noted that Qatar's prime minister had joined negotiations between Hamas leaders and Arab mediators. Witkoff has been invited to rejoin the talks, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty told The Associated Press. Witkoff pulled out of negotiations less than a month ago, accusing Hamas of not acting in good faith. It was not clear how Witkoff has responded to the invitation. A senior Israeli official said Tuesday that the country's position on a ceasefire 'is consistent and has not changed.' 'Israel demands the release of all 50 hostages in accordance with the guidelines set by the Cabinet to end the war,' said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with the media. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said a final push is needed to 'complete the defeat of Hamas.' He has vowed to continue the war until all the hostages are returned and Hamas has been disarmed. Hospitals in Gaza said they had received the bodies of 28 Palestinians killed Tuesday, including women and children, as Israeli strikes continued across the territory. Among them were nine people killed while seeking aid, officials at two hospitals told The Associated Press. The deaths were recorded across Gaza, including in central Deir al Balah, southern Khan Younis and near aid distribution points, hospital officials said. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, an Israeli-backed private American contractor that has become the primary distributor of aid in Gaza since May, operates those sites. Nasser Hospital also said an airstrike killed a mother, father and three children in their tent overnight in Muwasi, a camp for hundreds of thousands of civilians. 'An entire family was gone in an instant. What was their fault?' the children's grandfather, Majed al-Mashwakhi, said, sobbing. Neither the GHF nor Israel's military immediately responded to questions about the casualties reported by Nasser, Awda and al-Aqsa hospitals. The Palestinian death toll in the war surpassed 62,000 on Monday, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which is part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals. The ministry does not say how many of the dead were civilians or combatants, but says women and children make up around half of them. In addition to that toll, other Palestinians have died from malnutrition and starvation, including three reported in the past 24 hours, the ministry said Tuesday. It says 154 adults have died of malnutrition-related causes since late June, when it began counting such deaths, and 112 children have died of malnutrition-related causes since the war began with the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Aid groups continue to struggle to deliver supplies to Gaza, where most of the population is displaced, large swaths are in ruins and experts say the 'worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out.' Israel imposed a full blockade in March, then allowed limited aid to resume two and a half months later. The Israeli military body in charge of humanitarian aid to Gaza, COGAT, said 370 trucks of aid entered Tuesday — still below the 600 per day that the United Nations and partners say is needed. Israel has controlled all Gaza border crossings since seizing the Palestinian side of Rafah in May 2024. With land routes restricted, some countries have attempted to deliver supplies by air and sea. Aid workers face mounting danger, the U.N. warned Tuesday. Its humanitarian office said a record 383 aid workers were killed worldwide in 2024, nearly half of them in Gaza. COGAT said Tuesday that 180 pallets of aid were airdropped into Gaza with help from countries including Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and France. The U.N. and partners have called airdrops expensive, inefficient and even dangerous for people on the ground. A ship carrying 1,200 tons of food left Cyprus on Tuesday for the Israeli port of Ashdod loaded with pasta, rice, baby food and canned goods that were pre-screened in Cyprus. Metz, Gambrell and Magdy write for the Associated Press. Magdy reported from Cairo and Gambrell from Dubai. Melanie Lidman in Tel Aviv, and Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations contributed to this report.

Trump says US air support possible for Ukraine security guarantee
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that US air support and European ground troops could be part of security guarantees for Ukraine, warning of a "rough" situation if talks between Moscow and Kyiv fail. "When it comes to security, they're willing to put people on the ground," he told Fox News, referring to European allies whom he met in the White House on Monday. "We're willing to help them with things, especially, probably, if you talk about by air, because no one has the kind of stuff we have, really, they don't," Trump said. He added his "assurance" that no US ground troops would deploy to Ukraine, and he categorically ruled out Ukraine joining the Western military alliance NATO. Post-war security is a key concern for Kyiv after more than three years of Russian invasion. Moscow has long said it will not tolerate Ukraine joining NATO and has been hostile to the idea of Western troops deploying to the former Soviet territory. Trump said that "France and Germany, a couple of them, UK -- they want to have boots on the ground." "I don't think it's going to be a problem, to be honest with you. I think, I think Putin is tired of" the war, he added. Trump said that following his talks Monday with European leaders he is pushing to organize a bilateral summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky -- followed by another where he will join. "I called President Putin, and we're trying to work out a meeting with President Zelensky. We'll see what happens there," he said. "If that works out, if it works out, then I'll go to the trilat and close it up." Saying it was possible Putin would back out, Trump said "I hope President Putin's going to be good and if not, it's going to be a rough situation." Zelensky "has to show some flexibility also." In addition to the question of guaranteeing Ukraine's future security, the other key sticking point in ending the war is the status of the huge swaths of land occupied by Russia. Trump said Ukraine has to accept it will not get its lost territories back -- including the eastern Donbas region -- but in return will get peace. "I assume you've all seen the map. You know, a big chunk of territory is taken and that territory has been taken. Now they're talking about Donbas, but Donbas right now, as you know, is 79 percent owned and controlled by Russia," Trump said. The US leader said Ukraine was not powerful enough to change the situation. "This was a war and Russia is a powerful military nation, you know. Whether people like it or not, it's a powerful nation. It's a much bigger nation," he said. "You don't take, you don't take on a nation that's 10 times your size." "Everybody can play cute and this and that, but, you know, Ukraine is going to get their life back," Trump said about a peace deal involving Ukraine surrendering land. "They're going to stop having people killed all over the place and they're going to get a lot of land." sms/ksb
