Trump: Israel Agrees To 60-Day Gaza Ceasefire; Urges Hamas To Accept Deal
Qatar and Egypt, who, according to Trump, "worked very hard to help bring Peace", will deliver the final proposal. He also stated that negotiations to end the war would continue during the proposed ceasefire period.
"My Representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza. Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War. The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring Peace, will deliver this final proposal. I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better -- IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social.
The announcement came less than a week before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled visit to the United States on July 7.
Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes have continued across Gaza. On Monday, Israel launched at least 50 aerial strikes, with a significant focus on eastern Gaza City, following forced evacuation warnings issued by the Israeli military, according to Al Jazeera.
Citing medical sources, Al Jazeera reported that Israeli forces killed at least 68 Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday, including 47 in Gaza City and the northern areas of the territory.
According to Gaza's Health Ministry, the ongoing war has so far claimed at least 56,500 lives and wounded 133,419 people. In comparison, around 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7 attacks, during which more than 200 individuals were taken captive.

20% tariffs on imports, full US market access: Trump announces ‘great' trade deal with Vietnam
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States has struck a trade deal with Vietnam, claiming a sweeping win for US exporters while imposing steep tariffs on Vietnamese goods. In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump said he had directly negotiated the deal with To Lam, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and described it as a 'Great Deal of Cooperation' between the two nations. The agreement was unveiled less than a week before a 90-day pause on many of Trump's reciprocal tariffs was set to expire. Under that scheme, Vietnamese imports to the US were subject to a 46 per cent tariff. Under the terms outlined as per the post, Vietnam will pay a 20 per cent tariff on all goods exported to the US and a 40 per cent tariff on any transshipped goods. In return, Trump said Vietnam had agreed to give the US 'TOTAL ACCESS' to its domestic market, allowing American products to be sold in Vietnam at zero tariff. 'It is my Great Honor to announce that I have just made a Trade Deal with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,' Trump wrote. 'Vietnam will do something that they have never done before, give the United States of America TOTAL ACCESS to their Markets for Trade.' Trump also expressed confidence that large American vehicles, particularly SUVs, would thrive in Vietnam under the new agreement. 'The SUV, or as it is sometimes referred to, Large Engine Vehicle, which does so well in the United States, will be a wonderful addition to the various product lines within Vietnam,' he said. Calling his engagement with To Lam 'an absolute pleasure,' Trump framed the deal as another personal diplomatic win, although Vietnamese officials have yet to publicly confirm the agreement or its details.
