U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Hamas on Monday to promptly accept Israel's recent and notably generous proposal for a Gaza ceasefire to facilitate the release of hostages.
This call comes amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas negotiators were anticipated to convene with Qatari and Egyptian mediators in Cairo on Monday to provide a response to Israel's phased truce proposal, which was presented over the weekend.
This comes ahead of potential Israeli action targeting the southern border city of Rafah.
Veteran journalist Sam Husseini was forcibly removed from Secretary of State Antony Blinken's press conference after accusing the U.S. of complicity in alleged Israeli genocide in Gaza. Husseini repeatedly shouted, "Why aren't you in The Hague?" as he was escorted out. The incident highlights tensions between the U.S. government and journalists critical of its foreign policy.

North Korea has conducted a ballistic missile test coinciding with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to South Korea for high-level diplomatic talks. The missile, believed to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), traveled over 1,100 kilometers before landing in the sea. South Korea's military condemned the act as a "clear provocation," while the timing raises questions about Pyongyang's intent to influence the summit discussions. As tensions rise, South Korea, the U.S., and Japan are coordinating their response. Is this a strategic warning from North Korea, or a sign of further escalation to come?

US President Donald Trump appears to step back from his controversial Gaza plan after Egypt and Jordan voiced strong opposition. In a Fox News interview, Trump admitted he was âa little bit surprisedâ by their rejection. His proposal aimed to âtake overâ Gaza, eliminate Hamas, and restart development under US control. However, without regional buy-in, Trump now says he will not force the plan but will âsit back and recommend it.â This shift signals potential challenges in implementing any long-term strategy for Gazaâs future governance and stability.
