Netanyahu nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
At the start of their talks, Netanyahu told reporters that Israel was cooperating with the United States to identify countries that could help offer Palestinians a more promising future.
The meeting came as President Trump continued efforts to end the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip. It was attended by U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, who expressed optimism about the possibility of achieving an immediate ceasefire.
Witkoff told the press there was finally a tangible opportunity for peace in Gaza. Trump stated that Hamas had shown a willingness to engage in ceasefire negotiations and noted that the talks were progressing smoothly without any major obstacles.
This marks Netanyahu's third visit to the White House since Trump assumed office. Earlier this month, Trump announced that Israel had agreed to a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, potentially opening the door to an end to the war that began in October 2023.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said U.S. and Israeli officials held a long and productive meeting regarding the situation in Gaza, during which Israel agreed to the terms needed to implement the 60-day ceasefire.

875 Palestinians killed at Gaza aid sites: UN
Divided EU weighs action against Zionist entity over Gaza war GENEVA/BRUSSELS: The UN rights office said on Tuesday it had recorded at least 875 killings within the past six weeks at aid points in Gaza run by the US and Zionist entity-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and convoys run by other relief groups, including the United Nations. The majority of those killed were in the vicinity of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, while the remaining 201 were killed on the routes of other aid convoys. The GHF uses private US security and logistics companies to get supplies into Gaza, largely bypassing a UN-led system. The GHF, which began distributing food packages in Gaza in late May after Zionist entity lifted an 11-week aid blockade, previously told Reuters that such incidents have not occurred on its sites and accused the UN of misinformation, which it denies. The GHF did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the latest UN figures. KHAN YUNIS: Palestinians inspect the destruction at a makeshift displacement camp following a reported incursion a day earlier by Zionist tanks in the area in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza strip.-- AFP 'The data we have is based on our own information gathering through various reliable sources, including medical human rights and humanitarian organizations,' Thameen Al-Kheetan, a spokesperson for the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, told reporters in Geneva. The United Nations has called the GHF aid model 'inherently unsafe' and a violation of humanitarian impartiality standards. The GHF said on Friday it had delivered more than 70 million meals to Gaza Palestinians in five weeks, and that other humanitarian groups had 'nearly all of their aid looted' by Hamas or criminal gangs. The Zionist army previously told Reuters in a statement that it was reviewing recent mass casualties and that it had sought to minimize friction between Palestinians and the Zionist Defense Forces by installing fences and signs and opening additional routes. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has previously cited instances of violent pillaging of aid, and the UN World Food Program said last week that most trucks carrying food assistance into Gaza had been intercepted by 'hungry civilian communities'. Meanwhile, EU foreign ministers on Tuesday discussed options for action against Zionist entity over the war in Gaza - but looked unlikely to agree on any. The bloc's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has put forward 10 potential steps after Zionist entity was found to have breached a cooperation deal between the two sides on human rights grounds. The measures range from suspending the entire accord or curbing trade ties to sanctioning Zionist ministers, imposing an arms embargo and halting visa-free travel. Despite growing anger over the devastation in Gaza, EU states remain divided over how to tackle Zionist entity and diplomats say there appears to be no critical mass for any move. 'I can't predict how the discussion will go,' Kallas said, ahead of the foreign ministers' talks in Brussels. She said the main focus would likely be on how the EU could leverage improvements to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. That comes after Kallas on Thursday announced a deal with Zionist Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, to open more entry points and allow in more food. Gaza's two million residents face dire humanitarian conditions as Zionist entity has severely limited aid during its war with Palestinian militant group Hamas. 'We see some positive signs when it comes to border crossings open, we see some positive signs of them reconstructing the electricity lines, providing water, also more trucks of humanitarian aid coming in,' Kallas said Monday. But she said the situation in Gaza remained 'catastrophic'. 'Of course, we need to see more in order to see real improvement for the people on the ground,' she said. – Agencies

Syria's Druze Heartland Hit by Clashes and Shelling
BUSRA AL-HARIR, Syria (AP), July 15: Syria's defence minister announced a ceasefire shortly after government forces entered a key city in Sweida province on Tuesday. The announcement came a day after sectarian clashes that killed dozens, and after a state-run news agency report that Israel had launched a strike in the area. Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra said in a statement that after an 'agreement with the city's notables and dignitaries, we will respond only to the sources of fire and deal with any targeting by outlaw groups.' The clashes began with a series of tit-for-tat kidnappings and attacks between members of local Sunni Bedouin tribes and Druze armed factions in the southern province, a center of the Druze community. Government security forces that were sent in on Monday to restore order also clashed with Druze armed groups. During the day, Israel struck Syrian government military tank and said it was acting to protect the Druze religious minority. In Israel, the Druze are seen as a loyal minority and often serve in the armed forces. State-run news agency SANA did not give any details about Tuesday's strike. However, the Britain-based war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Israel struck a tank belonging to the Syrian military as forces began to move in deeper into Sweida city. There was no immediate statement from the Israeli military. Earlier Tuesday, religious leaders of the Druze community in Syria called for armed factions that have been clashing with government forces to surrender their weapons and cooperate with authorities as they entered the provincial capital of Sweida. One of the main religious authorities later released a video statement retracting the call. The initial statement called for armed factions in Sweida to 'cooperate with the forces of the Ministry of Interior, not to resist their entry, and to hand over their weapons to the Ministry of Interior.' The statement also called for 'opening a dialogue with the Syrian government to address the repercussions of the events.' The commander of Internal Security in Sweida Governorate, Brig. Gen. Ahmad al-Dalati, welcomed the statement and called for 'all religious authorities and social activists to adopt a unified national stance that supports the Ministry of Interior's measures to extend state authority and achieve security throughout the province.' Sheikh Hikmat Al-Hijri, a Druze spiritual leader who has been opposed to the government in Damascus, said in a video message that the previous statement by Druze leaders had been issued after an agreement with the authorities in Damascus but 'they broke the promise and continued the indiscriminate shelling of unarmed civilians.' 'We are being subjected to a total war of annihilation,' he said. Some videos on social media had showed armed fighters with Druze captives, inciting sectarian slogans and beating them. The Druze religious sect is a minority group that began as a 10th-century offshoot of Ismailism, a branch of Shiite Islam. More than half the roughly 1 million Druze worldwide live in Syria. Most of the other Druze live in Lebanon and Israel, including in the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Mideast War and annexed in 1981.

Nvidia's CEO says it has US approval to sell its H20 AI computer chips in China
BANGKOK, July 15, (AP): Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang says the technology giant has won approval from the Trump administration to sell its advanced H20 computer chips used to develop artificial intelligence to China. The news came in a company blog post late Monday and Huang also spoke about the coup on China's state-run CGTN television network in remarks shown on X. "The US government has assured Nvidia that licenses will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon,' the post said. "Today, I'm announcing that the US government has approved for us filing licenses to start shipping H20s,' Huang told reporters in Beijing. He noted that half of the world's AI researchers are in China. "It's so innovative and dynamic here in China that it's really important that American companies are able to compete and serve the market here in China,' he said. Huang recently met with Trump and other US policymakers and this week is in Beijing to attend a supply chain conference and speak with Chinese officials. The broadcast showed Huang meeting with Ren Hongbin, the head of the China Council for Promotion of International Trade, host of the China International Supply Chain Expo, which Huang was attending. Nvidia is an exhibitor. Nvidia has profited enormously from rapid adoption of AI, becoming the first company to have its market value surpass $4 trillion last week. However, the trade rivalry between the US and China has been weighing heavily on the industry. Washington has been tightening controls on exports of advanced technology to China for years, citing concerns that know-how meant for civilian use could be deployed for military purposes. The emergence of China's DeepSeek AI chatbot in January renewed concerns over how China might use the advanced chips to help develop its own AI capabilities. In January, before Trump began his second term in office, the administration of President Joe Biden launched a new framework for exporting advanced computer chips used to develop artificial intelligence, an attempt to balance national security concerns about the technology with the economic interests of producers and other countries. The White House announced in April that it would restrict sales of Nvidia's H20 chips and AMD's MI308 chips to China. Nvidia had said the tighter export controls would cost the company an extra $5.5 billion, and Huang and other technology leaders have been lobbying President Donald Trump to reverse the restrictions.
