Trump says hopes for Gaza ceasefire 'sometime next week' - War on Gaza
The Republican leader was asked by reporters if a ceasefire in the devastating war between Israel and Palestinians could be in place before a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House, set for July 7.
"We hope it's going to happen, and we're looking for it to happen sometime next week," Trump responded as he departed Washington for Florida.
The swift resolution of Israel's 12-day war with Iran has revived hopes for a halt to the fighting in Gaza, where more than 20 months of combat have created dire humanitarian conditions for the population of more than two million.
Trump has previously urged Israel to "make the deal in Gaza," but on the ground, Israel has continued to pursue its offensive across the Palestinian territory.

Huthi rebels target Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv
The spokesperson for the Huthi military, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on Wednesday that Huthi forces had launched an attack on the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv with a hypersonic ballistic missile, according to international media reports. Saree added that the operation successfully achieved its goal, causing millions to flee to shelters and halting airport operations. He confirmed that the drone air force carried out three operations against sensitive targets in Jaffa, Ashkelon, and Umm al-Rashrash. He explained that the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue their operations in protest against the genocide in Gaza. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz vowed to respond to the attack, after the Israeli military intercepted a missile fired from Yemen toward Israel. 'The fate of Yemen is the fate of Tehran,' Katz said in a statement, referring to the 12-day conflict last month in which Israel targeted Iran's nuclear and missile programs. He continued: 'After we struck the head of the snake in Tehran, we will target the Huthis in Yemen as well. Whoever raises a hand against Israel will have their hand cut off.'
