British IDF soldier dies in Gaza combat
A British - Israeli soldier, Sergeant Yisrael Natan Rosenfeld, 20, was killed in combat in northern Gaza.
Sergeant Rosenfeld, from Ra'anana, was a member of the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion and reportedly died from an explosive device on Sunday.
The UK Foreign Office is investigating reports of his British nationality, as he had moved to Israel from London 11 years ago.
The conflict in Gaza, ongoing since October 7, 2023, has resulted in over 860 Israeli soldier deaths and more than 56,000 fatalities in Gaza, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
Donald Trump urged progress in ceasefire talks, while Israeli officials are planning visits to Washington for negotiations, and Israel issued a new evacuation order for northern Gaza.

BREAKING NEWS Trump goes to war against 'sanctuary city' Los Angeles with major new action
Donald Trump is ramping up his war against liberal 'sanctuary city' Los Angeles with a new major lawsuit. The Justice Department, led by Trump appointee Pam Bondi, sued the city on Monday following weeks of anti-ICE riots and destruction. The lawsuit argues that LA's policies attempting to 'deliberately' thwart the work of immigration agents violate federal law. 'Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles,' Bondi said in a statement to Fox News. 'Jurisdictions like Los Angeles that flout federal law by prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens are undermining law enforcement at every level – it ends under President Trump.' It comes after DOJ also sued Chicago, Illinois, Denver, Colorado, New York, New York, and Rochester, New York, challenging the cities' so-called sanctuary policies. This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Trump administration eyes Fed vacancy in early 2026 to appoint Powell successor, Bessent says
June 30 (Reuters) - The Trump administration is considering using the next expected Federal Reserve Board of Governors vacancy in early 2026 for appointing a successor to central bank Chair Jerome Powell, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday. "There's a seat opening up, a 14-year seat opening up in January. So we've given thought to the idea that perhaps that person would go on to become the chair when Jay Powell leaves in May, or we could appoint the new chair in May," Bessent said on Bloomberg TV. "Unfortunately, that's just a two-year seat." Governor Adriana Kugler's term on the board expires on January 31, 2026, providing an option for President Donald Trump to name a governor for a full 14-year term who could later be promoted to chair. Powell's term as chair ends in late May 2026, while his own seat on the board only extends to January 31, 2028. Powell is not required to leave the Fed after his term as its leader lapses, but by custom most past Fed chairs have opted to leave. The board seats held by Kugler and Powell are the only two scheduled to expire during Trump's term. Bessent, in responding to a question whether it would cause confusion to appoint someone in January with a thought of that person ascending to chair later, appeared to confirm that at least one current board member is in the running for the job. "Obviously there are people who are currently at the Fed who are under consideration. So why would there be confusion, if you add another candidate in January," he said. Governor Christopher Waller, appointed by Trump during the president's first term, is reported to be among those Trump is considering for the job. Waller recently has said he would like to resume interest rate cuts as soon as the Fed's next meeting in late July. Others said to be in the running include Bessent, Trump economic adviser Kevin Hassett and former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh. On Friday, Trump said he would not give the job to anyone who does not align with his demands for the Fed to cut rates.

Newsmax host wants arrest of ‘vermin' CNN owners for ‘sedition' over Iran intel assessment story
Far-right provocateur Michael Savage said he would have the 'vermin' owners of CNN arrested for 'sedition' on Sunday night, claiming that the network 'undermined America in a time of war' because it reported on a preliminary intelligence assessment that indicated Iran's nuclear program was only set back months after 'Operation Midnight Hammer.' Savage, the longtime shock jock who now hosts a Sunday night show on MAGA network Newsmax, piggybacked on Donald Trump's indignation over CNN and other news outlets reporting on the early intel report during his latest broadcast. 'I also want to talk today about the bombing, the most successful bombing of — the most successful bombing mission in history, which was immediately debunked by the vermin at CNN, which to me is sedition,' Savage fumed on Sunday's telecast of Savage Nation. 'I looked up what sedition is.' In recent days, the president and many of his senior administration officials – most notably Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth – have raged over the Defense Intelligence Agency's report that contradicts Trump's claim that the bombing raid 'totally and completely obliterated' Iran's nuclear facilities and 'destroyed' its ability to make a bomb. While Hegseth scolded the media for its reporting on the assessment in a fiery press conference intended for an audience of one, the president has ramped up his complaints against CNN – which broke the news about the early intel report. Besides demanding that the network fire reporter Natasha Bertrand, Trump has threatened to sue CNN and The New York Times over the organizations' reporting on the Iran bomb strike. Trump took it to a new level over the weekend, however, when he told MAGA-boosting Fox host Maria Bartiromo that he would seek to force journalists who reported on the leaked intelligence assessment to give up their sources. 'You go up and tell the reporter, 'national security, who gave it?'' Trump said, adding: 'You have to do that. And I suspect we'll be doing things like that.' Throughout the top of his Sunday evening broadcast, Savage repeatedly accused CNN of engaging in seditious activities and called for the ownership of the network – which is currently Warner Bros. Discovery, though the conglomerate will be splitting within the year – to be prosecuted. At the same time, Savage fawned over the airstrikes and continually described them as the 'most successful bombing campaign of our life,' even though the United Nations's nuclear watchdog and a recently intercepted call from Iranian officials have additionally undermined the president's boasts about ending the nation's nuclear program. 'If it was up to me and I was president, I'd rip them out by the hair and I'd arrest them for what they did,' Savage exclaimed, adding that he's 'studied what sedition is' and believes the cable network is guilty of it. 'I would arrest… the ownership of CNN for letting this go out on the air,' he continued. 'They've undermined America in a time of war against radical Islamic terrorists who would kill all of us.' Later in the program, Savage would also call the DIA report a 'fake bomb damage assessment,' despite the fact that the Trump administration has confirmed its existence and has even said it is launching an FBI investigation to find who leaked the report. Additionally, Trump now plans to limit the sharing of classified information with Congress following reports on the intelligence assessment. 'We are declaring war on leakers,' a White House official told Axios. 'Sedition is what CNN does on a daily level,' Savage declared. 'Now, I believe in freedom of speech. I can be very, very provocative. Let's put it to you that way, but what is sedition? It's a word that has meaning.'After reading the definition of sedition from the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Savage claimed that anyone who says they are 'resisting' Trump is 'committing sedition' before once again alleging the network is guilty of that act. 'Sedition, my friends, is a very serious offense. It's distinct from treason, which involves actually betraying the government through acts of espionage,' he concluded. 'CNN is engaging in sedition by saying the bombing mission didn't work.'
