U.S. President spoke to PM Netanyahu and Kazakh President Tokayev, whose country already has full ties with Israel; Trump added that the White House would soon announce 'a signing ceremony to make it official'
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump endorsed former New York governor Andrew Cuomo in a post on his Truth Social platform. Trump wrote that if 'Communist' Mamdani wins, it's 'highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required'
'We got Neutra. I spoke to his parents,' Trump told the press on board Air Force One. 'They're thrilled in one sense, but in another sense, obviously, they're not too great.' The identity of the other two bodies is yet to be announced
After boasting of a deal that ended 'thousands of years of conflict,' Trump wakes to Gaza strikes and a slipping truce – and anything short of an explicit 'no' is read in Jerusalem as a green light
All previous prime ministers succeeded in preserving independence on crucial issues. Until Netanyahu. Now, Trump has set up a committee to manage Israel, naming himself as head of the committee, transforming Netanyahu from prime minister into an executive. The high commissioner, once British, is now American
The organization's top negotiator Khalil al-Hayya reiterated the group's efforts to locate the bodies, as Trump hinted that Hamas is not returning some they can return, and warned that other countries involved in the peace agreement could take action if Hamas does not cooperate
In a post on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump issued a stern warning to Hamas, urging the group to begin returning the bodies of deceased hostages, including those of two Americans
Beyond Netanyahu's public commitment to advancing the Trump plan, Israel had additional reasons to avoid further escalation. Officials were concerned about disrupting the slow and painstaking operation to recover the 16 remaining bodies of hostages
It turns out that Israel itself belongs to America. The idea that sovereignty entails total responsibility is too lofty for contemporary Israelis. We all belong to Trump now – and what a collective pleasure that is!
The Shofar Report, released this week by the liberal-leaning Jewish group Nexus Project, is a new guide to fighting antisemitism that curb the strategies of the Trump administration.
Trump was asked whether he had personally spoken with Hamas, which he later denied, following reports that his envoys, Witkoff and Kushner, negotiated directly with the group to reach a cease-fire deal. He said the talks occurred 'through my people, at the highest level, and were meant for me'
Netanyahu and his ministers still believe Trump will lose interest and allow Israel to resume the war in Gaza. This is wishful thinking, as dozens of world leaders committed to Trump's peace plan on Monday, and all Netanyahu received in return was the U.S. president's support for a criminal trial pardon
Israel's Channel 12 News reported that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner assured Hamas leaders that Trump wouldn't allow Israel to resume the war after the hostages' release, as long as the group upholds its commitments
In a Knesset session celebrating his cease-fire plan, Trump hailed the return of hostages from Gaza, praised Netanyahu as 'not the easiest guy,' and shocked the chamber by asking Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon him, while left-wing lawmakers were ejected for displaying 'Recognize Palestine' signs
Trump said that the hostages held in Gaza might be released 'even a little early. All 20 of them.' On Sunday, it was reported that the hostages' families were told their loved ones are expected to be released at 8 A.M. Israel time on Monday
According to the schedule released by the White House, Trump will give a speech at the Knesset before leaving to attend a high-level summit in Egypt along with other world leaders to discuss the cease-fire and next steps for the Gaza Strip
Declaring that 'even the fake news was fair,' Trump announced a Middle East trip after his administration's landmark cease-fire and hostage release deal. The president promised Gaza aid from 'immensely wealthy countries that love people' and said Hamas' disarmament is part of a broader U.S. plan for regional peace
So far, the mediating countries in the Israel-Hamas negotiations, mainly Egypt and Qatar, have had to exert massive diplomatic pressure on Hamas, while Israel has enjoyed stable support from Trump. But major diplomatic moves by the Arab states deeply eroded the U.S.'s traditional backing of Israel
According to a map posted by Trump, the IDF will exit Gaza City and the refugee camps in the central Strip. As part of the withdrawal, a buffer zone will be created, to which Gaza's residents will not be able to enter. IDF forces will remain in the Philadelphi Corridor, Rafah and Beit Hanoun
Family members of hostages being held in the Gaza Strip are calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to begin immediate negotiations that would bring an end to the war and the return of their loved ones, after Hamas' acceptance in principle of the Trump peace plan on Friday evening
