New details have emerged of the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal submitted by mediators to Hamas, while Israel has sent a negotiating team to Qatar ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin NetanyahuƵ White House visit. U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with Netanyahu on Monday. The document shared with The Associated Press outlines plans for a 60-day ceasefire. During that time, Hamas would hand over 10 living and 18 dead hostages, Israeli forces would withdraw to a buffer zone along GazaƵ borders with Israel and Egypt, and significant amounts of aid would be brought in. Negotiations for a permanent ceasefire would take place.

Hospital officials say Israeli airstrikes have killed 14 Palestinians in Gaza and another 10 were killed as they sought food aid. U.S.-led ceasefire efforts appear to be gaining momentum after nearly 21 months of war as Israel's prime minister visits the White House on Monday. Weary Palestinians expressed cautious hope Saturday after Hamas gave a “positive” response to the latest U.S. proposal for a 60-day truce. But the militant group said further talks are needed on implementation. Two American aid workers with the Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation were injured in southern Gaza in an attack at a food distribution site.
Los Angeles is home to the largest Iranian community outside Iran. This diverse group includes Muslims, Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians and Bahai who have lived here harmoniously since the 1980s. However, the recent Israel-Iran conflict has tested these long-held bonds. Experts note that in the diaspora, shared cultural and social ties often outweigh religious divides. Iranian Jews, while united with Muslims in opposing Iran's regime, feel heightened anxiety over security in local houses of worship. Experts say Iranian Muslims, who would otherwise cheer on a regime change, might feel differently about an Israel-led war because of their antipathy toward Zionism.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Vietnam Wednesday that would allow U.S. goods to enter the country duty-free.
President Donald Trump says Israel has agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and warned Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen. Trump announced the development Tuesday as he prepares to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for talks at the White House on Monday. The U.S. leader has been increasing pressure on the Israeli government and Hamas to broker a ceasefire and hostage agreement and bring about an end to the war in Gaza. “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,” he said.
