Trump says Israel has agreed on terms for 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, and has warning for Hamas

Yahoo12 hours ago
Donald Trump has said Israel has agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, and is urging Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen.
The US president announced the development ahead of hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for talks at the White House next week.
He has been increasing pressure on the Israeli government and Hamas to work out a ceasefire and hostage agreement to end the war.
"My Representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza. Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalise the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War," Mr Trump wrote on social media - adding that Qatari and Egyptian officials would deliver the 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."
It comes as Israel's minister for strategic affairs, Ron Dermer, was in Washington for talks with senior administration officials to discuss a potential ceasefire in Gaza, as well as Iran and other matters.
Mr Dermer was expected to meet Vice President JD Vance, secretary of state Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff.

Earlier in the day, Mr Trump told reporters he is hopeful a ceasefire-for-hostages agreement can be achieved between Israel and Hamas next week.
Hamas has said it is willing to free the remaining hostages in Gaza under a deal to end the war, while Israel has said the conflict can only end if Hamas is disarmed and dismantled.

Trump Threatens to Prosecute CNN for Reporting on ICEBlock as App Hits No. 1

ICEBlock, a new app that allows users to submit information about the location of ICE officers spotted in their community, has shot to the number one spot on the Apple App Store. And it's largely thanks to publicity from the White House and President Donald Trump's angry band of fascists. The ICEBlock app was created by developer Joshua Aaron, who told CNN that he wanted to create something to fight back against the deportations he saw happening in Los Angeles. The city has been terrorized by masked thugs in recent weeks who are abducting people off the streets as part of Trump's plan to purge the country of anyone deemed insufficiently white. Trump was taking a tour of a new concentration camp for immigrants in Florida on Tuesday when he and Kristi Noem, the secretary of Homeland Security, were asked by reporters about the app. They threatened to go after the news network in typical MAGA fashion. 'We're working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that,' Noem said of CNN. 'Because what they're doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities, operations. And we're going to actually go after them and prosecute them with the partnership of Pam if we can. Because what they're doing, we believe, is illegal.' Pam is a reference to Pam Bondi, Trump's extremist Attorney General. And while Trump seemed to agree with Noem's call for CNN to be prosecuted for reporting on the existence of an app, he seemed even more preoccupied with his recent illegal bombing of Iran. 'And they may be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran,' Trump said. 'They were given totally false reports. It was totally obliterated. And our people have to be celebrated, not come home and say, what do you mean we didn't hit the target?' CNN, along with other news outlets, reported that Trump's bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities may have only delayed the country's ability to produce a nuke (if it wanted to) by a few months. Tom Homan, the so-called border czar, appeared on Fox Business on Tuesday to complain about the app as well. 'I just can't believe we're in a place where a TV network like CNN is talking about this app and educating people on the existence of this app,' Homan told Stuart Varney. 'This is a dangerous job,' Homan continued. 'And this app is going to give the bad guy a heads up that we're coming. Which means more bad guys are going to escape arrest, which makes this country less safe, which is a public safety issue.' Homan continued that he was sick of people vilifying ICE agents as Nazis and that he wants something to be done by the U.S. Department of Justice. Homan says he's 'begging the Department of Justice to look into' the ICEBlock app and CNN's alleged promotion of it [image or embed] — Aaron Rupar (@ July 1, 2025 at 7:27 AMICE agents are indeed terrorizing communities across the country, though it's not always clear that they're federal agents. They often storm into a neighborhood with their faces covered, carrying high-powered weapons and refusing to identify themselves. There have been several incidents now where people have claimed to be ICE in attempts to rob other people using the exact same tactics. Gizmodo emailed ICE to ask if the app has made it more difficult to arrest workers and separate families. The agency directed us to a statement posted online by ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons who called the app 'reckless and irresponsible.' 'Advertising an app that basically paints a target on federal law enforcement officers' backs is sickening,' Lyons said in the statement. 'My officers and agents are already facing a 500% increase in assaults, and going on live television to announce an app that lets anyone zero in on their locations is like inviting violence against them with a national megaphone.' That 500% increase is bullshit, of course, as the Washington Post recently explained. When agents arrested New York City comptroller Brad Lander, the Department of Homeland Security put out a statement claiming that he would be charged with 'assaulting law enforcement.' But the incident was captured on video from several angles and shows Lander didn't assault anyone. Lander ultimately wasn't charged with anything after getting manhandled and thrown in jail. When Gizmodo followed up with ICE to ask for evidence of its claim of a 500% increase in assaults on officers, an unsigned email said it was actually 700%. No evidence was provided. 'CNN is willfully endangering the lives of officers who put their lives on the line every day and enabling dangerous criminal aliens to evade U.S. law. Is this simply reckless 'journalism' or overt activism?' Lyons continued in ICE's prepared statement. It's not illegal to report on the existence of an app, of course. But Trump and ICE are operating so far outside the bounds of the law that it's not out of the question that these guys could go after CNN for writing about ICEBlock. Or they could go after Gizmodo, for that matter. Because you're currently reading an article about the existence of an app. And that's apparently a very dangerous thing to do right now in Trump's America.

House Republican Hardliners Warn of a Delay to Tax Vote

(Bloomberg) — The leader of a hardline conservative caucus in the House on Wednesday cast doubt on the prospect President Donald Trump's sprawling tax and spending legislation will be completed by July 4. Struggling Downtowns Are Looking to Lure New Crowds Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer California Exempts Building Projects From Environmental Law What Gothenburg Got Out of Congestion Pricing 'We could take another week to get this thing right,' said House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, a Maryland Republican, during an appearance on CNBC. 'We're willing to stay until we resolve this.' 'I don't think it's going to be ready by July 4,' he added, saying that the Senate 'should not have left town' after passing their version of the measure on Tuesday. Harris's comments come as House leadership plans to hold a procedural vote to pass the bill on Wednesday, with the goal of sending it to the president by Friday. Yet that ambitious timeline is encountering considerable opposition as moderate and ultraconservative GOP lawmakers threaten to defy the president and perhaps frustrate his domestic agenda. House lawmakers are returning to Washington from a holiday week to vote Wednesday on the Senate version of the bill, which passed the upper chamber 51-50 on Tuesday with Vice President JD Vance's tie-breaking vote. Two key House lawmakers, Texas Representative Chip Roy and Representative Ralph Norman of South Carolina, on Wednesday predicted the first procedural vote will fail, meaning the House would likely not be able to move to a final vote on Wednesday. House Speaker Mike Johnson can afford to lose few Republican votes in the closely divided chamber. Earlier: What's in the Trump Tax Bill That Just Passed the Senate 'The House took a position, the Senate took a position, now it's time to get somewhere between those two positions and send something to the president's desk ,' Harris said. His complaint centers on how the Senate's version of the bill adds to the deficit. 'We're not talking about a revolt. We're talking about actually doing the legislative process the way it's supposed to be done.' Trump on Tuesday put public pressure on Republicans to quickly back the bill, posting on Truth Social the tax bill can pass 'but only if the House GOP UNITES, ignores its occasional 'GRANDSTANDERS' (You know who you are!)' —With assistance from Maeve Sheehey.
