Thirty out of 33 nations of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States agreed to seek a consensus candidate at their Wednesday leaders summit in Honduras, according to government official familiar with the discussions. A joint statement signed by those nations will be published in the coming hours.

Trump: Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg
Israel has 'enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg', Donald Trump said after the aid flotilla she was travelling to Gaza on was seized. The US president described the Swedish activist as an 'angry young person' after her attempt to break the Gaza blockade was thwarted by the Israeli navy. 'She's a strange person. She's a young, angry person. I don't know if it's real anger. It's hard to believe, actually, but I saw what happened,' he said. 'She's certainly different... anger management, I think she has to go to an anger management class.' Credit: WhiteHouse/X Israeli naval forces boarded and seized a charity vessel carrying Thunberg on Monday. The British-flagged yacht, Madleen, which is operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition, had aimed to deliver a symbolic amount of aid to Gaza and raise international awareness of the humanitarian crisis there. 'If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by Israeli occupational forces or forces that support Israel,' Ms Thunberg, 22, said in a video released by the FCC, filmed before the vessel was captured. 'I urge all my friends, family and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible.' Freedom Flotilla Coalition Mr Trump dismissed Ms Thunberg's assertion that she had been kidnapped, saying: 'I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg.' This was not the first time Ms Thunberg and the US president have crossed swords. Five years ago, Ms Thunberg displayed her contempt for Mr Trump when, aged only 16, she gave the US president a 'death stare' as he arrived at the United Nations. Ms Thunberg's withering glare, which came ahead of her addressing the UN on climate change, went viral. In February, JD Vance, the US vice-president, took a dig at Ms Thunberg when addressing the Munich Security Conference as he defended the role of Elon Musk in the Trump administration. 'Trust me, I say this with all humour, if American democracy can survive 10 years of Greta Thunberg's scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk.'

Trump says Iran is involved in Gaza hostage negotiations
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday Iran is involved in negotiations aimed at arranging a ceasefire-for-hostages deal between Israel and Hamas. "Gaza right now is in the midst of a massive negotiation between us and Hamas and Israel, and Iran actually is involved, and we'll see what's going to happen with Gaza. We want to get the hostages back," Trump told reporters during an event in the White House State Dining Room. Trump did not elaborate and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for details of Iran's involvement. Iran's mission to the United Nations in New York did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The United States has proposed a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Israel said it would abide by the terms but Hamas thus far has rejected the plan. Under the proposal 28 Israeli hostages - alive and dead - would be released in the first week, in exchange for the release of 1,236 Palestinian prisoners and the remains of 180 dead Palestinians. The United States and Iran are also separately trying to negotiate a deal on Tehran's nuclear program.

Stefanik comes for Albany
KNOCK, KNOCK, KATHY HOCHUL: Upstate Rep. Elise Stefanik is at your doorstep, Madam Governor. Stefanik visited the Senate Republicans' hideout on the third floor of the state Capitol today, for the sole purpose of a Gov. Kathy Hochul-bashing press conference, lacing into the governor as the legislative session continued. Meanwhile, Hochul spent the day working out of her Manhattan office. Stefanik called Hochul 'the worst governor in America,' citing her record on affordability, public safety, fiscal management and antisemitism. She used the moniker three times during her diatribe. 'They care more about their radical, far-left, anti-American base than they care about public safety and border security,' Stefanik said, knocking state Democrats' refusal to take up a New York version of the Laken Riley Act. Stefanik is eyeing a run for governor in 2026 — a decision she says she'll make 'in the coming months.' Hudson Valley Republican Rep. Mike Lawler is also continuing to drum up the now year-long speculation he might make a play for the Executive Mansion. He last week fired back at Stefanik's pitch that the GOP nominee for governor needs to be a MAGA diehard like her: 'You can't win a statewide election in New York just by pounding your chest and saying that you're the most MAGA candidate,' Lawler said. And against the backdrop of Stefanik's Albany visit was the tumult on the shores of the Potomac River. Both Lawler and Stefanik are contending with the Trump-backed 'big, beautiful bill,' which is poised to scale back Medicaid spending and allow taxpayers to deduct up to $40,000 of state and local taxes from their federal filings. The bill is with the Senate, which is looking at lowering the $40,000 cap. While Lawler has vowed to vote against the sprawling bill if the SALT cap dips under $40,000, Stefanik declined to name a number that would be her dealbreaker. Stefanik disagreed that the bill's proposed Medicaid cuts will hurt Republicans politically, and instead lambasted New York's high tax rate and Medicaid spending on undocumented immigrant care. 'Elise Stefanik dodged question after question because there's no good way to defend ripping away health care from two million New Yorkers,' said Addison Dick, a spokesperson for the state's Democratic party. 'While Stefanik lies to her constituents' faces about her and Trump's plan to gut Medicaid, New Yorkers see right through it — and they know Governor Hochul's budget puts money back in their pockets, cuts taxes for the middle class, and makes our streets and subways safer.' Stefanik — Trump's short-lived nominee for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations — also gave a taste of what her hypothetical governorship would look like. She railed against subsidies for solar power farms and other 'green new scam programs.' She slammed the state's 'bloated budget' and promised to take after Trump by signing a flurry of early executive orders focused on reining in spending. And she indicated how she would approach immigration in Albany, saying the Trump administration is taking 'exactly the right actions' to crack down on illegal immigration. — Jason Beeferman From the Capitol AID IN DYING SET FOR FINAL VOTE: The 'aid in dying' legislation is likely to pass the state Senate today, bill sponsor Brad Hoylman-Sigal revealed. The bill was added to the chamber's calendar this morning and will face a highly anticipated debate later in the day. It passed in the Assembly by narrow margins in April. Advocates for the measure, which would allow doctors to prescribe euthanizing medication to terminally ill patients, filled the state Capitol's Million Dollar Staircase today to celebrate its pending passage. Members of the New York State Catholic Conference also visited the Capitol today, speaking out against the measure and foreshadowing a contentious debate on the Senate floor. 'For the first time in its history, New York is on the verge of authorizing doctors to help their patients commit suicide,' state Catholic Conference Executive Director Dennis Poust said in a statement. 'Make no mistake – this is only the beginning and it may end up that the only person standing between New York and the assisted suicide nightmare unfolding in Canada is Governor Hochul.' Hoylman-Sigal likened the magnitude of the measure to the passage of marriage equality and abortion rights in the state. And Assembly sponsor Amy Paulin called the legislation the 'proudest achievement' in her career. 'This conversation has been a journey for each and every one of us, a soul searching exercise that we haven't confronted in (recent history),' Hoylman-Sigal said to reporters. 'This is about personal autonomy, this is about exercising one's own freedom to control one's own body.' — Katelyn Cordero FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FIX FIXES: The Campaign Finance Board today announced it sent a $540,482 payment to the Cuomo campaign after its allied super PAC, Fix the City, amended a filing that reduced the cost of a TV ad used as the basis to withhold $1.3 million in public matching funds. Campaign finance regulators are probing whether the Cuomo campaign and the group have improperly coordinated and withheld matching funds to the leading mayoral candidate last month. The group initially reported the ad cost $1.3 million; the amended filing claimed the expenditure amounted to $756,994. After that change by Fix the City, the Cuomo campaign petitioned the Campaign Finance Board to argue the cash withheld should be limited to the amount of money the group now reports was spent on the ad, said board member Richard Davis. The deep-pocketed Fix the City has spent more than $8 million on TV ads to push the front-running Cuomo's candidacy, according to media tracking firm AdImpact. But the Cuomo campaign has come under scrutiny for using a 'redboxing' strategy of communicating preferred messaging to the super PAC. 'We always said we were in full compliance with the law and look forward to receiving the full amount once the CFB finishes their preliminary investigation,' Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi said. A Fix the City spokesperson did not comment. — Nick Reisman CUOMO LAUDS COMMISH TISCH: Mayoral front-runner Cuomo had high praise for NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch during an interview with Bloomberg Radio this morning — but he still won't say if he'd keep her on the job as mayor. 'I don't believe in saying who you're going to appoint, who you're not going to appoint — it's kind of arrogant until you get the job,' he said. 'Commissioner Tisch is doing a very good job. The stability. We went through a number of police commissioners, each one brought their own tumult and their own transformation. Jessica Tisch is steady; the NYPD feels steady.' At last week's mayoral debate, candidates were asked to raise their hands if they would keep Tisch as police commissioner; Brad Lander, Zellnor Myrie and Whitney Tilson were the only ones to answer in the affirmative. — Jason Beeferman LANDER, NYPD AND ICE: Lander would prevent the National Guard from being deployed in protests by reforming the NYPD's Strategic Response Group if elected mayor, he said today. The SRG is a unit within the NYPD trained to deal with counterrorism, but has been deployed to control protests. 'Right now, [having] the same set of folks respond to counterterrorism and to protests creates more problems than it solves,' Lander said, referring to the SRG, in response to the Trump administration sending the National Guard to crack down on protests against ICE in Los Angeles. Civil rights advocates and lawmakers have criticized the SRG for using excessive force and mass arrests, which have provoked confrontations between police and demonstrations. Instead, Lander said he wants police officers trained on de-escalation and managing protests to prevent demonstrations from becoming violent. 'That helps to show the world we have this under control, and whatever Trump is trying to do is trying to provoke the conflict, not calm it. And we're going to stand up to him,' Lander said. — Cris Seda Chabrier CANDIDATES TALK YESHIVAS: Several mayoral candidates expressed reservations about automatically taking funding away from nonpublic schools like yeshivas if they're not meeting state education standards. They were responding to a question at a Jewish community forum on Sunday from NY1's Errol Louis on whether they'd support cutting public funding for non-compliant yeshivas. Myrie, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, former City Comptroller Scott Stringer, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani and attorney Jim Walden did not raise their hands. 'If a school is out of compliance on education standards, why should the safety of those students then suffer as a result of that?,' Mamdani said, citing security funding as an example. 'The compliance has to be the first focus, but the stripping of funding to me is something that is a step too far when our focus should be elsewhere.' Myrie and the speaker took issue with taking resources away from children. The speaker said the local government should work with the state government, while Myrie proposed a partnership with schools. Stringer called for creating trust between City Hall and yeshivas. 'I think there's a carrot-stick approach that we should use,' he said. Attorney Jim Walden, who's running as an independent, wants to employ a similar approach, and suggested evaluating schools individually. Groups like Young Advocates for Fair Education — one of the forum's co-sponsors — have been pushing for secular education in yeshivas. The governor and state lawmakers recently tweaked education guidelines for religious and nonpublic schools. That could help Hochul, who's facing a tough reelection bid next year, curry favor with the politically powerful Hasidic community. Lander and businessperson Whitney Tilson raised their hands. Tilson — a former board member for the KIPP NYC charter network — said charters can be put on probation or shut down if they're not adequately educating children. 'That same standard should be applied to all of our public schools and all the private schools in this state,' he said. — Madina Touré IN OTHER NEWS — DONOR $CRUTINY: Pro-Cuomo super PAC got $2.7 million from donors with business before the city.
