The Martin Garrix concert at LA State Historic Park saw Justin and Hailey Bieber squashing divorce rumors while dancing and grooving together.

Hence, the parents of one chose to have fun over entertaining any gossip about trouble in their marriage. Eyewitnesses and fan clips claimed the Biebers were inseparable throughout the evening.

Popular fashion retail store closure leaves huge mall in jeopardy

Many of us have fond memories of hanging out in the mall. As a younger teen without a license or car, it was perhaps the one place a parent could drop you off, knowing you'd be occupied for hours. And even if you didn't have much money, you could window-shop to your heart's content and maybe grab a cheap food-court snack and call it dinner. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter These days, though, malls don't seem to have the allure they once did. Maybe it's because you can buy just about anything you want online, so there's no need to leave your house, let alone navigate a giant structure filled with stores. Related: Popular work clothes retailer surprisingly closes all stores But it's clear that in recent years, malls have been dying out. And while we could blame the pandemic, during which time mall traffic certainly declined, the reality is that the mall apocalypse has been brewing for quite some time. Not only are shoppers abandoning malls, but retailers have taken to doing the same. And if that trend continues, it could change the shopping landscape tremendously. Zara is one of those retailers that operates both inside of malls and as standalone stores. And there can be benefits and drawbacks to both. The upside of being inside a mall is that shoppers might stumble upon your store in the course of visiting other retailers. The downside, of course, is the competition.

The downside, though, is that unless customers specifically drive over to your store, you're not going to get them to buy anything. Still, a number of retailers have been increasingly moving away from malls in recent years. And now, Zara is making its exit from the famous San Francisco Centre mall. Unfortunately, the closure of Zara's 28,000-square-foot store marks the loss of the mall's largest remaining retailer. And the damage may not be over. Other retailers, including Oak and Fort clothing and AG Jeans, are expected to abandon the mall in short order. Losing Zara is apt to be painful for the San Francisco Centre mall, which has been bleeding major tenants in recent years. In 2023, Nordstrom closed its San Francisco Centre location. And things have been going downhill since then. Related: Costco makes rare mistake with its bold new idea The closure of Zara is, sadly, part of a larger trend that's been plaguing San Francisco. In recent years, retailers and restaurants alike have been pulling out of the city for reasons that include an uptick in crime and a notable decline in foot traffic. Though San Francisco was once a bustling commuter city, the introduction of remote work during the pandemic has changed its dynamic. With fewer people entering the city each day, it's become harder for retailers to stay afloat. Now the silver lining in all of this is that while Zara may be leaving the San Francisco Centre, it's not ditching the city completely. The fashion giant announced plans earlier this year to open a new flagship store in the heart of Union Square.

As of now, that's scheduled to happen later in July. But because previous auction dates were postponed this year, it's possible that July's auction will be pushed out as well.

Benjamin Netanyahu vows ‘there will be no Hamas' in post-war Gaza

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Israel had agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen. The US 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. Hamas said in a brief statement on Wednesday that it had received a proposal from the mediators and was holding talks with them to 'bridge gaps' to return to the negotiating table to try to reach a ceasefire agreement. Mr Trump said the 60-day period would be used to work toward ending the war, something Israel says it will not accept until Hamas is defeated. He said that a deal might come together as soon as next week. But Hamas' response, which emphasised its demand that the war end, raised questions about whether the latest offer could materialise into an actual pause in fighting. Hamas official Taher al-Nunu said that the militant group was 'ready and serious regarding reaching an agreement'. He said Hamas was 'ready to accept any initiative that clearly leads to the complete end to the war'. A relative carries the body of Palestinian girl Mira Bashir, 10, who was killed with her sister, Sabah, eight, in an Israeli army airstrike, during their funeral in Deir al-Balah on Wednesday (Abdel Kareem Hana/AP) A Hamas delegation is expected to meet Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo on Wednesday to discuss the proposal, according to an Egyptian official. Hamas has said that it is willing to free the remaining 50 hostages, fewer than half of whom are said to be alive, in exchange for a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and an end to the war. Israel says it will only agree to end the war if Hamas surrenders, disarms and exiles itself, something the group refuses to do. 'I am announcing to you, there will be no Hamas,' Mr Netanyahu said during a speech on Wednesday. An Israeli official said that the latest proposal calls for a 60-day deal that would include a partial Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a surge in humanitarian aid to the territory.
