'Very close' to a ceasefire deal in Gaza, Trump says
Responding to a report from Axios on Wednesday that there were "secret talks" between the US, Israel, and Qatar at the White House which may lead to a breakthrough in Gaza ceasefire talks, Trump told reporters that they are "very close" to an agreement. Axios said the discussions, which took place on Tuesday, "honed in on the key remaining sticking point" that special envoy for Peace Missions Steve Witkoff had referenced in earlier comments. He said three out of four issues had been resolved. The remaining issue, according to Axios' sources, is to determine which lines the Israeli forces would withdraw to during a ceasefire in Gaza. " Both sources said Witkoff and the Qatari official made it clear to [Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron] Dermer that the map proposed by Israel - which involves a far more narrow redeployment than the one the IDF carried out during the previous ceasefire - is a non-starter," Axios reported.

US ignored report saying GHF was not fit to deliver aid in Gaza: Report
The main US government agency that distributes foreign aid raised 'critical concerns' about a newly formed aid group's ability to deliver food safely and effectively to Palestinians in Gaza, just days before the Trump administration announced $30m in funding for the organisation, CNN reported on Tuesday. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) in June wrote a 14-page confidential internal assessment, criticising a request for funding submitted by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF). According to the assessment, which was obtained by CNN, at least nine elements normally required to obtain government funding were not included in the application, such as insufficient planning information ensuring Palestinians would actually receive aid. One criticism was that the overall plan lacked 'basic details' regarding a scheme to give out powdered baby formula in a Gaza area where clean drinking water is not available. 'I do not concur with moving forward with GHF given operational and reputational risks and lack of oversight," a USAID official said, concluding it would not be safe to move forward with the GHF organisation. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters A source familiar with GHF's application told CNN on the condition of anonymity that the paperwork was "abysmal" and "sorely lacking real content'. Another source said USAID staff had expressed worries about working with GHF because they did not think the group could uphold the humanitarian principle of "do no harm". 'GHF must explain how it will Do No Harm,' USAID said, asking the organisation to supply safety, accountability and access details. Expedited approval Despite the concerns, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and deputy administrator for policy and programmes at USAID, Jeremy Lewin, pressed ahead for expedited approval, two sources told CNN. Another source said that expedited approvals are typically reserved for trusted partners, and GHF would not likely have been funded under normal procedures. After the confidential assessment was made, USAID CFO and deputy administrator for management and resources Kenneth Jackson recommended that Lewin 'waive the various criteria given the humanitarian and political urgency of GHF's operations' in an internal memo dated 24 June.

Two days later, on 26 June, the State Department approved the funding, detailing the requirements needed for the funds, including some concerns raised by USAID. The $30m funding award has not been disbursed yet and will be released in stages, provided that GHF meets key requirements. GHF is seeking $30m of its $100m operating costs from the State Department. A State Department official last week also suggested the US could provide further funding to GHF as long as it continues to operate 'safely and securely and consistent with sort of the principles that we've laid out for them'. In response to the report, the GHF said in a statement, "GHF has done what others could not: deliver free, nutritious, and secure emergency food aid directly to the people of Gaza without interference from Hamas". "In just over a month, we've delivered more than 66 million meals. We're grateful to the Trump Administration for recognizing the impact of our work with a $30 million commitment to help expand our operations," the organisation added. The group said that its 'success stands in stark contrast to groups that have received US government funding for years - including the UN'. Controversy The US and Israeli-backed GHF was established after Israel blocked humanitarian aid from entering Gaza for 11 weeks. Criticisms of GHF in the assessment have been mirrored by international humanitarian aid groups who have a track record of safely and effectively delivering food and aid to Palestinians over decades, such as the United Nations relief and works agency for Palestine refugees, which was banned from operating by Israel. The UN and major aid groups have refused to work with GHF, saying it serves Israeli military goals and violates basic humanitarian principles. GHF's scheme replaced 400 aid distribution points across the enclave with four militarised distribution sites in central and south Gaza, where millions have been forced to travel from other areas of the strip on foot and risk death in the hope of receiving aid since it started operating on 27 May. The militarised sites involve US armed security contractors working with the Israeli military. Both American contractors and Israeli soldiers have reportedly killed at least 640 Palestinians seeking aid in the last six weeks it has been in operation. Israeli troops have admitted to deliberately shooting and killing unarmed Palestinians waiting for aid in the Gaza Strip, following direct orders from their superiors. More than 170 NGOs called for immediate action to end the 'deadly' US and Israeli-backed GHF aid scheme on 1 July, and revert back to UN-led aid coordination mechanisms. Timeline: Trump's remarks on the forcible transfer of Palestinians in Gaza Read More » 'Today, Palestinians in Gaza face an impossible choice: starve or risk being shot while trying desperately to reach food to feed their families,' the NGOs said in a joint statement. The signatories include Oxfam, Save the Children, Amnesty, Doctors Without Borders, and Action Aid. GHF's chairman, Johnnie Moore, a Christian evangelical leader aligned with US President Donald Trump, has denied that any Palestinians had been killed at its sites, telling journalists earlier this month that no violence had occurred. "We have not had a single violent incident in our distribution sites. We haven't had a violent incident in close proximity to our distribution sites," he said.

AI giant Nvidia makes history as first $4 tn company
Shortly after the stock market opened, Nvidia, which is led by electrical engineer Jensen Huang, vaulted as high as $164.42, giving it a valuation above $4 trillion before retreating slightly. "The market has an incredible certainty that AI is the future," said Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers. "Nvidia is certainly the company most positioned to benefit from that gold rush." Nvidia has now attained a market value greater than the GDP of France, Britain or India, a testament to investor confidence that AI will spur a new era of robotics and automation, potentially boosting productivity while also challenging incumbent sectors and companies. The California chip company's latest surge is helping to drive a recovery in the broader stock market, even as Nvidia itself outperforms major indices. Part of this is due to relief that President Donald Trump has walked back his most draconian tariffs, which pummeled global markets in early April. Even as Trump has announced new tariff actions in recent days, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have lingered near records. "You've seen the markets walk us back from a worst-case scenario in terms of tariffs," said Angelo Zino, technology analyst at CFRA Research. While Nvidia still faces US export controls to China as well as broader tariff uncertainty, the company's deal to build AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia during a Trump state visit in May showed there was also potential upside in Trump's trade policy. "We've seen the administration using Nvidia chips as a bargaining chip," Zino said. Bullish on 2026 Nvidia's latest surge to $4 trillion marks a new threshold in a fairly consistent rise over the last two years as AI enthusiasm has built. In 2025 so far, the company's shares have risen 20 percent, whereas the Nasdaq has gained six percent. The Taiwan-born Huang has wowed investors with a series of advances, including its core product: graphics processing units (GPUs), which are foundational to many of the generative AI programs pursued throughout the technology sector, with applications in autonomous driving, robotics and other cutting-edge domains. The company has also unveiled new advances in recent months, highlighting its Blackwell system, which Huang said in March will soon enable virtually all productions to be "created and brought to life long before it is realized physically." However, Nvidia's winning streak was challenged early in 2025 following revelations about the Chinese DeepSeek venture, which prompted worries that AI investment growth would slow. The company lost some $600 billion in market valuation during this period. Nvidia's Huang has welcomed DeepSeek as a growing presence in technology, while arguing against US export constraints. In the most recent quarter, Nvidia reported earnings of nearly $19 billion despite a $4.5 billion hit from US export controls designed to limit sales of cutting-edge technology to China. The first-quarter earnings period also revealed that momentum for AI remained strong throughout the tech industry. Many of the biggest technology companies -- Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta -- are racing each other in the multi-billion-dollar race to win the AI race. A recent UBS survey of technology executives showed Nvidia widening its lead over rivals. Zino said Nvidia's latest surge reflected a fuller understanding of DeepSeek, which has acted as a stimulant to investment for complex reasoning models rather than a threat to Nvidia's business. Nvidia is at the forefront of "AI agents," the current focus in generative AI in which machines are able to reason and infer more than in the past, he said. "Overall the demand landscape has improved for 2026 for these more complex reasoning models," Zino said.
