Trump says Gaza ceasefire is 'possible'
Trump stated he had talked to Israeli officials and told them they may need to do things a different way.
He made the comments to reporters at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland where he was meeting UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Trump also expressed his frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I'm disappointed in President Putin," he said.
He added that he would be reducing a 50-day deadline he gave Russia over its war with Ukraine.
On July 14, Trump said he would impose tariffs and sanctions on Russia if Moscow would not make a ceasefire agreement within 50 days.
"I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number," he said. He did not give a new deadline.

Netanyahu says 'Israel' must complete defeat of Hamas to free captives
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that 'Israel' must "complete" the defeat of Hamas in Gaza to secure the release of captives, ahead of a cabinet meeting to discuss an updated war plan. "It is necessary to complete the defeat of the enemy in Gaza, to free all our hostages and to ensure that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel," Netanyahu said during a visit to an army training facility. 'Israeli' media said the premier was considering ordering the total occupation of the Palestinian territory, with public broadcaster Kan reporting that "Netanyahu wants the Israeli army to conquer the entire Gaza Strip." Netanyahu's office said he held a three-hour "security discussion" on Tuesday with army chief Eyal Zamir, but did not disclose any new war plans. The premier's office earlier said the army was prepared to implement any decision made by the security cabinet, which is due to convene later in the week to approve new instructions. Citing cabinet members, Kan reported that Netanyahu had "decided to extend the fight to areas where hostages might be held" inside Gaza. But some major media outlets such as Channel 12 have suggested that the rumoured expansion of military operations may only be a negotiating tactic. While there was no official confirmation for a plan to occupy Gaza -- from which 'Israel' withdrew troops and settlers two decades ago -- it has drawn angry reactions from the Palestinian Authority and Gaza's Hamas-run government. Hamas insisted such an 'Israeli' plan would not shift its position in ceasefire talks, demanding the withdrawal of troops from Gaza. "The ball is in the hands of... (Israel) and the Americans," senior Hamas official Hossam Badran told AFP, adding that the group wanted to "end the war and the famine". 'Agreement must be reached' Over the war's 22 months, 'Israeli' forces have devastated large parts of the Gaza Strip, where repeated warnings of famine have increased pressure on Netanyahu's government to halt the fighting. Humanitarian agencies say the territory's 2.4 million people are slipping into a catastrophic famine. Netanyahu has faced growing pressure on several fronts. Domestically, families of captives are demanding a ceasefire to bring their loved ones home. Around the world, there are increasing calls for a truce to allow in food to the starving in Gaza. The International Committee of the Red Cross on Tuesday said it was "prepared and ready to bring in medicine, food and family news for the hostages in Gaza", and to "scale up the delivery of life-saving aid safely to civilians". But "to do this, an agreement must be reached between Israel and Hamas," it said.

Iran reveals 'Israeli' female pilot identity in claimed major intelligence breakthrough
Iranian state media announced Saturday a purported major intelligence breakthrough, claiming to have uncovered profiles of 'Israeli' Air Force pilots, commanders, and drone operators who participated in the recent June war with the Islamic Republic. Official Iranian broadcast channels and news outlets, including Nournews, Press TV, and ISNA, specifically named Major Yael Ash, identified as the deputy commander of Squadron 119, known as the "Bat" Squadron, and her husband, Bar Prince. The reports asserted that Iranian intelligence operatives now possess "full profiles" of these personnel, including their identities, places of residence, operational units, military bases, and "roles in other crimes". They further claimed to have "satellite images revealing the exact locations" where the identified personnel lived. Major Ash was also noted as the paternal granddaughter of Major Shimon Ash, a pilot who went missing during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Iranian channels issued explicit warnings to the identified personnel, stating, "They're No Longer Safe," and that the revelation "makes the entire world unsafe for them". The reports went on to claim that 'sample revenge already taken,' featuring pictures of alleged retaliatory strikes against one of the personnel's residences in the city of Yavne, 'Israel', and asserting that some homes were hit by Iranian missile strikes. Iran also alleged that 'Israel' relocated personnel to places like schools to preemptively claim that the Islamic Republic had targeted "civilian" sites if those locations were struck. Iran stated that what has been made public so far is only "one example" and that "The disclosures of such classified information will continue".

VIDEO: Hezbollah rejects timeline to disarm
Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Naim Qassem, declared on Tuesday that the group would not agree to any timetable for disarmament while "Israeli aggression" against Lebanon continues, as he stated. His remarks came during a televised speech at a memorial event held by Hezbollah for an Iranian commander. Qassem rejected any proposal to disarm under current conditions, stating: 'Any proposed timeline to be implemented under the shadow of Israeli aggression is unacceptable to us.' He further urged the Lebanese state to focus on protecting the country rather than weakening the resistance. 'The state should create plans to confront pressure and threats, and ensure protection, not strip the resistance of its power and capabilities,' he said.
