Status of ceasefire unclear after Iranian missile barrage strikes Israel after a first deadline
BEERSHEBA, Israel (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a 'complete and total ceasefire' soon after Iran launched a retaliatory limited missile attack on a U.S. military base in Qatar. But the status of a possible ceasefire remained tentative on Tuesday as an Iranian missile barrage struck Israel after a first deadline for the proposal. The Iranian barrages sent Israelis hurrying into bomb shelters as the sun rose, killing at least four people and injuring eight others, Israel's Magen David Adom rescue services said. Israel has yet to acknowledge Trump's proposal, which gives Israel more time to potentially strike back though Iran on its state television announced an overall ceasefire had begun at 7:30 a.m. local time. The barrage damaged at least three densely packed residential buildings in the city of Beersheba, police said. First responders said they retrieved four bodies from one building and were searching for more. Outside, the shells of burned out cars littered the streets. Broken glass and rubble covered the area. Hundreds of emergency workers gathered to search for anyone else trapped in the buildings. Police said some people were injured even while inside their apartments' reinforced safe rooms, which are meant to withstand rockets and shrapnel but not direct hits from ballistic missiles. The direct hit in the largest city in southern Israel came just days after the city's hospital sustained significant damage in a missile strike. The Israeli military said people could leave bomb shelters but cautioned the public to stay close to shelter for the coming hours. Trump says ceasefire is in effect Trump's announcement that Israel and Iran had agreed to a 'complete and total ceasefire' came soon after Iran launched a limited missile attack Monday on a U.S. military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites. The U.S. was warned by Iran in advance, and there were no casualties. Trump's announcement on Truth Social said the ceasefire beginning about midnight Washington time would bring an 'Official END' to the war. Israel doesn't confirm ceasefire but appears to pause strikes Israel did not immediately acknowledge any ceasefire, but there were no reports of Israeli strikes in Iran after 4 a.m. in Tehran. Heavy Israeli strikes continued in Iranian cities until shortly before that time. Under the Trump plan, Israel was to halt its attacks on Iran by 1:30 p.m. Tehran time. There's been no report of Israel launching attacks against Iran since early Tuesday morning. Israel did not immediately acknowledge any ceasefire, but there were no reports of Israeli strikes in Iran after 4 a.m. in Tehran. Heavy Israeli strikes continued in Iranian cities until shortly before that time. The Israeli military declined to comment on Trump's ceasefire statement and the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. 'As of now, there is NO 'agreement' on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations,' Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote in a post on X. 'However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards.' His message was posted at 4:16 a.m. Tehran time. Araghchi added: 'The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later.' Writing over an hour after the first phase of the tentative ceasefire, which called for Iran to halt its attacks, Trump added: 'THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!' Trump describes conflict as '12 Day War' Trump gave the conflict between Israel and Iran a name: the '12 Day War.' That recalls the 1967 Mideast war, known by some as the 'Six Day War,' in which Israel fought a group of Arab countries including Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Trump's reference carries emotional weight for the Arab world, particularly Palestinians. In the 1967 war, Israel captured the West Bank and east Jerusalem from Jordan, the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, and the Golan Heights from Syria. Though Israel later gave the Sinai back to Egypt, it still holds the other territories. Trump communicated directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure the ceasefire, according to a senior White House official who insisted on anonymity to discuss the Monday talks. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff communicated with the Iranians through direct and indirect channels. The White House has maintained that the Saturday bombing helped get the Israelis to agree to the ceasefire and that the Qatari government helped to broker the deal. It's unclear what role Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's leader, played in the talks. He said earlier on social media that he would not surrender. Attacks from Iran forces temporary closure of Israel's skiesIsrael's Airports Authority said Iran's barrage forced them to close the country's airspace to emergency flights for several hours. Some flights were forced to circle over the Mediterranean Sea, according to Israeli media. Israel's airports have been closed since the war with Iran began, but a handful of emergency flights started arriving and departing over the past few days. By early Tuesday, Qatar Airways resumed its flights after Qatar shut down its airspace over the Iranian attack on Al Udeid Air Base. Flight-tracking data showed commercial aircraft again flying in Qatari airspace, signaling Doha believed the threat on the energy-rich nation had passed. Conflict has killed hundreds In Israel, at least 24 people have been killed and more than 1,000 wounded in the war. Israeli strikes on Iran have killed at least 974 people and wounded 3,458 others, according to the Washington-based group Human Rights Activists. The group, which has provided detailed casualty figures from Iranian unrest such as the protests surrounding the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, said of those killed, it identified 387 civilians and 268 security force personnel. The U.S. has evacuated some 250 American citizens and their immediate family members from Israel by government, military and charter flights that began over the weekend, a State Department official said. There are roughly 700,000 American citizens, most of them dual U.S.-Israeli citizens, believed to be in Israel. ___ Gambrell reported from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Lidman reported from Tel Aviv, Israel.

Colbert grills Dem socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Israel, antisemitism
Print Close By Joseph Wulfsohn Published June 24, 2025 "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert pressed New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani about his stance on Israel and how he'd combat rising antisemitism in the Big Apple. Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist member of the state assembly who has seen a surge in the polls ahead of Tuesday's rank-choice primary, appeared on the CBS late night show alongside his fellow Democratic rival Brad Lander, who've both made headlines for giving each other their endorsements for second ranking in an effort to block ex-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo from clinching the Democratic nomination. Colbert pointed to the ongoing war between Israel and Iran to ask both candidates whether Israel has "the right to exist" as a nation. SANDERS ENDORSES SOCIALIST MAMDANI IN MOVE TO BLOCK CUOMO IN NYC MAYORAL RACE "I support the vision of Israel as a Jewish and Democratic State," Lander responded. "Mr. Mamdani, same question," Colbert turned to the 33-year-old hopeful. "Does the State of Israel have the right to exist?" "Yes," Mamdani responded. "Like all nations, I believe it has the right to exist and a responsibility also to uphold international law." The liberal late-night host, who repeatedly stressed he wasn't offering any endorsement in the mayoral race, then pivoted to acknowledge the "elephant in the room," noting the "fear" within the Jewish community about the rise in antisemitism and what would happen if New York City elected Mamdani, a far-left Muslim and an outspoken critic of Israel. "They're very upset by some of the things that you've said in the past, and they're afraid that your mayorship would actually lead to increased antisemitism, that they believe that would be more dangerous for them," Colbert said to Mamdani. "What do you say to those New Yorkers who are afraid that you wouldn't be their mayor, that you wouldn't protect them?" 'GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA' PHRASE STIRS TENSIONS ON NYC CAMPAIGN TRAIL AS MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT RAGES "You know, I know where that fear is coming from," Mamdani responded. "It's a fear that is based upon the horrific attacks we've seen in Washington, DC, in Boulder, Colorado… and it's a fear that I hear also from New Yorkers themselves." "You know, just a few days after the horrific war crime of October 7, a friend of mine told me about how he went to his synagogue for Shabbat services and he heard the door open behind him, and a tremor went up his spine as he turned around not knowing who was there and what they meant for him," he continued. "I spoke to a Jewish man in Williamsburg just months ago who told me that the door he left unlocked for decades is now one that he locks. And ultimately, this is because we're seeing a crisis of antisemitism." Mamdani then touted his proposal committing an "800%" increase in funding for the Department of Community Safety's anti-hate crime programming. "Because to your point, antisemitism is not simply something that we should talk about. It's something that we have to tackle," Mamdani told Colbert. "We have to make clear there's no room for it in this city, in this country, in this world and-" "And no justification for violence of any kind?" Colbert interjected. "No," Mamdani quickly responded. "There's no room for violence in this city, in this country, in this world. And what I have found also, for many New Yorkers, is an ability to navigate disagreement." NYC MAYORAL CANDIDATE ZOHRAN MAMDANI DEFENDS BDS SUPPORT AMID ISRAEL CONTROVERSY Mamdani, who migrated to New York City when he was seven after living in Uganda and South Africa, recalled an exchange he had with an "older Jewish woman" following the Democratic Club forum who whispered to him, "I disagree with you on one issue. I'm pretty sure you know which one it is, and I agree with you on the others, and I'm going to be ranking you on my ballot." "And I say this because I know there are many New Yorkers with whom I have a disagreement about the Israeli government's policies, and also there are many who understand that that's a disagreement still rooted in shared humanity, because the conclusions I've come to, they are the conclusions of Israeli historians like Amos Goldberg. They are echoing the words of an Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, who said just recently what we are doing in Gaza is a war of devastation. It is cruel, it is indiscriminate, it is limitless, it is criminal killing of civilians. These are the conclusions I've come to," Mamdani said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Colbert later asked Mamdani how he could "build a bridge of understanding" between the Jewish and Muslim communities as New York City mayor. He responded "by foregrounding that humanity." "For so many of us who've grown up in this city, difference is something that we celebrate. It's something that we know is actually a part of the fabric of this place that we call home," Mamdani said. "And you know, many years ago, I was the campaign manager of a Jewish candidate for State Senate, and I took him to a mosque in Bay Ridge, and after he gave his speech at Friday prayers, an older Palestinian man came over to him, and he looked at him and he said, 'Cousins.' And I think that there is this possibility of building a shared life in our city, because ultimately, that is the story of New York City. It's a shared life of people from across the world, and it's one that we know, even in the language of the hostage families themselves, everyone for everyone. We are tied together as one."
