WASHINGTON -- A ceasefire between Iran and Israel looked fragile hours after it took effect, as Israel's government accused Tehran of violating the deal and U.S. President Donald Trump blamed both sides.
Before departing for a NATO summit in The Hague, Trump on Tuesday told reporters that he was not happy with Iran but was "really unhappy" with Israel, which had vowed to retaliate for an apparent post-ceasefire Iranian missile launch. "ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS," Trump wrote on Truth Social. Later, he posted that Israel had agreed to stand down.

Russian Attacks Kill 26 Civilians in Ukraine as Zelenskyy Seeks More Western Help
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian drones, missiles and artillery killed at least 26 civilians and injured more than 200 others in Ukraine, officials said Tuesday, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sought guarantees at a NATO summit of further Western help to repel Moscow's invasion. Russian forces have relentlessly struck civilian areas throughout the 3-year-old war. More than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed, according to the United Nations. Ukraine has also launched long-range drones against Russia, hitting residential areas. Zelenskyy joined Western leaders at a NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands, and is keen to lock in additional military support for Ukraine, as recent direct peace talks have made no progress on a settlement. Key U.S. military commitments to Ukraine left over from the Biden administration are expected to run out within months, according to analysts, and there is uncertainty over whether U.S. President Donald Trump is willing to provide more. A Russian ballistic missile attack on Dnipro hit multiple civilian sites in the central Ukrainian city around midday Tuesday, killing 17 people and injuring more than 200 others, officials said. 'The number of casualties is constantly being updated,' Dnipro's regional administration head Serhii Lysak wrote on Telegram. In the nearby town of Samar, an attack killed two people and injured 14, he said. The barrage damaged 19 schools, 10 kindergartens, a vocational school, a music school and a social welfare office, as well as eight medical facilities, according to Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov. Schools are closed for the summer break. One of the blasts blew out the windows of a passenger train carrying about 500 people. Filatov declared Wednesday to be an official day of mourning. In a post on Telegram, Zelenskyy said Russia needs foreign components to build its ballistic missiles and he urged countries to crack down on Moscow's 'schemes' to obtain them. 'Sanctions against Russia must also be significantly strengthened,' he said. Russia also shelled residential neighborhoods and critical infrastructure across Ukraine's southern Kherson region, killing four civilians and wounding at least 11 others, according to Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the regional military administration. In the Sumy region of northeastern Ukraine, a drone attack late Monday killed three civilians, including a 5-year-old boy, and injured six others, local authorities said. Among the injured were two 17-year-old girls and a 12-year-old boy, according to officials. Russian air defense forces overnight shot down 20 Ukrainian drones, the Russian Defense Ministry reported Tuesday. It said 14 were downed over the Kursk region, which borders Ukraine, while two had been flying over the Moscow region. One drone slammed into a tower block on the outskirts of the Russian capital, sparking a fire on its 17th floor, local Gov. Andrei Vorobyov said. He said a 34-year-old resident suffered shrapnel wounds to his arm and leg. Two other drones were shot down while approaching Moscow, according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. Air traffic was briefly halted as a precaution at two major Moscow airports, Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo, according to a representative of Russia's aviation authority Rosaviatsiya.

NATO Chief Praises Trump for Making Europe ‘Pay in a BIG Way' on Defense Ahead of Summit
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte praised President Donald Trump for making Europe 'pay in a BIG way,' as leaders gathered in the Netherlands on Tuesday for a historic summit that could unite them around a new defense spending pledge or widen divisions among the 32 member countries of the security alliance. The U.S. president, while en route, published a screenshot of a private message from Rutte saying: 'Donald, you have driven us to a really, really important moment for America and Europe and the world. You will achieve something NO American president in decades could get done.' 'Europe is going to pay in a BIG way, as they should, and it will be your win,' Rutte wrote. NATO confirmed that he sent the message. Rutte appeared unconcerned that Trump aired it, telling reporters: 'I have absolutely no trouble or problem with that because there's nothing in it which had to stay secret.' Trump arrived early in the evening after injecting uncertainty over whether the U.S. would abide by the mutual defense guarantees outlined in the NATO treaty. 'Depends on your definition,' he said. Rutte said he has no doubt about the Article 5 guarantee, which says an armed attack on one member is an attack on all. On Wednesday, the allies are likely to endorse a goal of spending 5% of their gross domestic product on their security, to be able to fulfil the alliance's plans for defending against outside attack. Trump has said the U.S. should not have to. Spain has said it cannot, and that the target is 'unreasonable.' Slovakia said it reserves the right to decide how to reach the target by NATO's new 2035 deadline. 'There's a problem with Spain. Spain is not agreeing, which is very unfair to the rest of them, frankly,' Trump told reporters. In 2018, a NATO summit during Trump's first term unraveled due to a dispute over defense spending. Ahead of the meeting, Britain, France and Germany committed to the 5% goal. The Netherlands is also on board. Nations closer to the borders of Ukraine, Russia and its ally Belarus had previously pledged to do so. Trump's first appearance at NATO since returning to the White House was supposed to center on how the U.S. secured the historic military spending pledge from others in the alliance — effectively bending it to its will. But the spotlight has shifted to Trump's decision to strike three nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran that the administration says eroded Tehran's nuclear ambitions, as well as the president's sudden announcement that Israel and Iran had reached a 'complete and total ceasefire.' Ukraine has also suffered as a result of that new conflict. It has created a need for weapons and ammunition that Kyiv desperately wants, and shifted the world's attention. Past NATO summits have focused almost entirely on the war in Ukraine, now in its fourth year. Still, Rutte insisted NATO could manage more than one conflict at a time. 'If we would not be able to deal with … the Middle East, which is very big and commanding all the headlines, and Ukraine at the same time, we should not be in the business of politics and military at all,' he said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in The Hague for meetings, despite his absence from a leaders' meeting aiming to seal the military spending agreement. It's a big change since the summit in Washington last year, when the alliance's weighty communique included a vow to supply long-term security assistance to Ukraine, and a commitment to back the country 'on its irreversible path' to NATO membership. Zelenskyy's first official engagement this time was with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof at his official residence across the road from the summit venue. But in a telling sign of Ukraine's status at the summit, neither leader mentioned NATO. Ukraine's bid to join the alliance has been put in deep freeze by Trump. 'Let me be very clear, Ukraine is part of the family that we call the Euro-Atlantic family,' Schoof told Zelenskyy, who in turn said he sees his country's future in peace 'and of course, a part of a big family of EU family.' Schoof used the meeting to announce a new package of Dutch support to Kyiv including 100 radar systems to detect drones and a move to produce drones for Ukraine in the Netherlands, using Kyiv's specifications. The U.S. has made no new public pledges of support to Ukraine since Trump took office six months ago. Meeting later with Rutte and top EU officials, Zelenskyy appealed for European investment in Ukraine's defense industry, which can produce weapons and ammunition more quickly and cheaply than elsewhere in Europe. 'No doubt, we must stop (Russian President Vladimir) Putin now and in Ukraine. But we have to understand that his objectives reach beyond Ukraine,' he said. He said NATO's new target of 5% of GDP 'is the right level.'

Trump warns NATO as alliance set to adopt 5% of GDP defense spending goal
U.S. President Donald Trump joined a key NATO summit at The Hague on Tuesday, just hours after refusing to commit to the alliance's core collective defense promise, as allies aim to entice him with a pledge to boost defense spending. The summit is being held as leaders look to emphasize that a military buildup is necessary for deterring Russia. NATO Secretary-GeneralMark Rutte has claimed without evidence that Russia could be ready to attack the alliance in five years. After arriving in the Netherlands, the U.S. president was all smiles as he joined leaders and senior officials from the alliance's 31 other members for a group photo and a dinner hosted by Dutch King Willem-Alexander. But U.S. commitment concerns among members had grown over comments Trump made while en route aboard Air Force One. Asked whether the United States remains committed to NATO's Article 5 clause, Trump told reporters: 'Depends on your definition. There are numerous definitions of Article 5. You know that, right? But I'm committed to being their friends.' Asked to clarify, Trump said he is 'committed to saving lives.' 'I'm committed to life and safety,' he said. 'I'm going to give you an exact definition when I get there. I just don't want to do it on the back of an airplane.' Trump also reiterated his views that NATO members must hike their defense budgets to 5% of gross domestic product — a level that not even the United States, currently at 3.4%, hits. At the two-day summit, which kicked off Tuesday, NATO members are widely expected to reach a deal to ramp up defense-related spending to a total of 5% of GDP by 2035, with 3.5% dedicated to core needs such as troops and weapons and 1.5% to security-related investments in cybersecurity, infrastructure and other areas. The hike would be a steep increase from NATO's current 2% target. Spain had thrown a wrench into the mix last week, when Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez demanded an exemption from the new target. But, in an apparent bid to pave the way for a smooth summit with the notoriously mercurial Trump, Rutte appeared to acquiesce to a deal that will allow both sides to claim they got what they want by omitting a clause that specifies 'all allies' had agreed to the target. However, it's unclear how a final statement will work, since NATO agreements require consensus among all members. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte delivers remarks with Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya on the sidelines of the NATO summit in The Hague on Tuesday. | AFP-JIJI The summit results could have knock-on effects for Japan, which the U.S. has said must also meet a new 'global standard' of spending 5% of GDP on defense. Tokyo has denied that the Trump administration has directly asked it to hike its budget to that level, but Pentagon officials have told The Japan Times that the standard includes Japan. An agreement on the figure could give more ammunition to the U.S. in its calls for Japan to make a similar move. While Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba abruptly canceled his attendance at the summit earlier this week — part of a snub by several of NATO's Indo-Pacific partners known as the IP4 — Tokyo did send Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya in his place. Iwaya met with Rutte on Tuesday in talks that focused on further boosting ties, as concerns over Chinese military assertiveness remain the elephant in the room. According to a statement by Japan's Foreign Ministry, Rutte said that 'cooperation between NATO and the Indo-Pacific partners (IP4) including Japan, has become even more important as the security environment is becoming more severe.' Iwaya, meanwhile, reiterated Japan's stance that the security of the Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific is 'inseparable,' and that the Japan-NATO cooperation 'is beneficial for the security of both regions.' Fears of a crisis akin to Russia's invasion of Ukraine have prompted some in the Indo-Pacific, particularly Japanese officials, to say that 'Ukraine today could be East Asia tomorrow' — a veiled reference to a potential conflict over democratic Taiwan. China claims the island as its own and has vowed to bring it back into the fold, by force if necessary. While Chinese assertiveness has been a key driver of NATO's bid for stronger links to the region, alliance officials played down any role for the grouping in a scenario involving a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. 'We don't intend to become a security provider for the Indo-Pacific,' a NATO official told reporters Tuesday on condition of anonymity. 'In case there's an escalating scenario in the Indo-Pacific region ... NATO would focus even more on Europe, to give space to some allies who would want to be more active in the Indo-Pacific. But it wouldn't be about NATO supporting any type of military operation in the Indo-Pacific. We don't have that mandate.' The official also reiterated that NATO is 'no longer discussing' the issue of opening a liaison office in Tokyo, a move that had been proposed but ultimately shot down over objections from France that it would inflame tensions with China. 'We believe that we have a number of ways to enhance our liaison arrangements with Japan and other Indo-Pacific partners,' the official said.
