Trump says Gaza ceasefire possible ‘within the next week', gives no details
United States President Donald Trump said he believes a ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas could be reached within a week. Trump came out with the surprise comment while speaking to reporters on Friday, saying he was hopeful after speaking to some of the people involved in trying to get a truce. 'I think it's close. I just spoke to some of the people involved,' Trump said. 'We think within the next week we're going to get a ceasefire,' the president said, without revealing who he had been in contact with. Al Jazeera's Nour Odeh, reporting from Amman in Jordan, said Trump's comment will be 'welcome news' to the starved and bombed population of Gaza, but she also cautioned that there are 'no negotiations at this moment happening anywhere in the region'. 'What we do know is that talk of a ceasefire increased exponentially after the ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Israel does not want to talk about ending the war. In fact, the Israeli prime minister would be risking a lot if he did,' Odeh said. But, she added, there is an understanding, according to many reports, that Netanyahu would have to agree to some sort of ceasefire in exchange for normalisation deals with Arab states, which the Trump administration has promoted. Hamas, on the other hand, requires that Israel stop its war on Gaza and for the Israeli military to withdraw from areas it seized in Gaza after breaking the last ceasefire in March. 'Hamas also wants US guarantees that negotiations would continue and that Israel wouldn't break the ceasefire again if more time was needed for negotiations,' Odeh added. Trump's ceasefire prediction comes at a time of mounting killings by Israeli forces in Gaza and growing international condemnation of Israel's war amid the latest revelation that soldiers said they were ordered to shoot unarmed Palestinian civilians seeking humanitarian aid in the territory. Authorities in Gaza said the report by the Haaretz media outlet that Israeli commanders ordered the deliberate shooting of starving Palestinians was further proof of Israel's 'war crimes' in the war-torn territory. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz have rejected the report of commanders targeting civilians, Gaza's Health Ministry has reported that almost 550 Palestinians have been killed near US- and Israel-backed aid distribution points in Gaza since late May. 'People are being killed simply trying to feed themselves and their families,' United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday. 'The search for food must never be a death sentence,' he said. Medical charity Doctors Without Borders (also known by its French acronym MSF) branded the situation in Gaza as 'slaughter masquerading as humanitarian aid'. A spokesperson for the office of Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, said they had no information to share about a possible ceasefire breakthrough in Gaza. Witkoff helped former US President Joe Biden's aides broker a ceasefire and captive release agreement in Gaza shortly before Trump took office in January. But the truce was broken by Israel in March when it launched a wave of surprise bombing attacks across the territory. Israeli officials said that only military action would result in the return of captives held in Gaza, and imposed a blockade on food, water, medicine and fuel entering the territory that led to widespread starvation among the 2.1 million population. Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer is scheduled to visit Washington next week for talks with Trump administration officials on Gaza, Iran and a possible White House visit by Netanyahu, according to a source familiar with the matter.

UK government backs down on disability benefit cuts after rebellion
The United Kingdom government has backed down on controversial plans to slash disability and sickness benefits after a major rebellion by MPs, in a blow to Prime Minister Keir Starmer's authority. The climbdown on Friday is the third U-turn that Starmer has been forced into in less than a month, leading to questions about his political acumen and direction of the ruling Labour party. Only days after Starmer insisted he would plough ahead with the reforms, the government confirmed concessions had been made to 126 rebel MPs who had threatened to scupper the proposed changes. The turnaround comes just before Starmer marks the first anniversary of what has been a rocky return to power for Labour after 14 years in opposition to the Conservatives. A spokesperson for Number 10 said the government had 'listened to MPs who support the principle of reform but are worried about the pace of change for those already supported by the system'. The source of friction was a bill that would have tightened eligibility for a key disability benefit, removing the Personal Independence Payment from hundreds of thousands of people with long-term physical or mental health conditions. Another health-related benefit received by people on low incomes would also be reduced under the plans. The government said the proposed changes would help people find jobs while preserving a safety net for those who can never work. It would also save an estimated 5 billion pounds ($6.8bn) a year from a welfare bill that has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic. But many Labour legislators baulked at the changes, which the Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated would cut the income of 3.2 million people by 2030. Friday's backtrack means the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Bill, which contains the welfare reforms, will likely make it through a parliamentary vote due next week. The concessions, due to be set out in parliament later on Friday, include a 'staggered approach' to the reforms, Care Minister Stephen Kinnock said. This means that the narrower eligibility criteria proposed will only apply to new claimants, not those already receiving the benefit payments. Policy U-turns It has been a bumpy 12 months in office for Starmer, during which Chancellor Rachel Reeves has struggled to generate growth from a sluggish UK economy. On June 9, the government announced it had reversed a policy to scrap a winter heating benefit for millions of pensioners, following widespread criticism, including from its own MPs. Less than a week later, Starmer announced a national inquiry focused on a historic UK child sex exploitation scandal that had attracted the attention of American billionaire Elon Musk. Starmer had previously resisted calls for an inquiry into the so-called 'grooming gangs' – that saw girls as young as 10 raped by groups of men – in favour of a series of local probes. The prime minister has a huge majority of 165 MPs, meaning he should be able to force whatever legislation he wants through parliament. But many of his own MPs complain of a disconnect between Starmer's leadership, which is focused on combating the rise of the far-right Reform UK party, and Labour's traditional centre-left principles. 'Labour is meant to stand for fairness, and those two flagship mistakes are all about being unfair,' Steven Fielding, a political scientist and professor at Nottingham University, said of the planned winter fuel and the disability cuts. The furores are also overshadowing Labour's tightening of employment rights, and investment in housing and green industries, he added. A YouGov poll of more than 10,000 Britons released this week found that while Labour is losing voters to Reform, it is also forfeiting supporters to the Liberal Democrats and the Greens on the left. 'They've been making so many unforced errors,' said Fielding. 'I think there is now a very reluctant recalibration of things.'
