Netanyahu meets Trump at White House as Israel, Hamas discuss ceasefire
WASHINGTON/TEL AVIV: US President Donald Trump, hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday, said the United States had scheduled talks with Iran and indicated progress on a controversial effort to relocate Palestinians out of Gaza. Speaking to reporters at the beginning of a dinner between U.S. and Israeli officials, Netanyahu said the United States and Israel were working with other countries who would give Palestinians a 'better future,' suggesting that the residents of Gaza could move to neighboring nations. 'If people want to stay, they can stay, but if they want to leave, they should be able to leave,' Netanyahu said. 'We're working with the United States very closely about finding countries that will seek to realize what they always say, that they wanted to give the Palestinians a better future. I think we're getting close to finding several countries.' Trump, who initially demurred to Netanyahu when asked about the relocating of Palestinians, said the countries around Israel were helping out. 'We've had great cooperation from … surrounding countries, great cooperation from every single one of them. So something good will happen,' Trump said. The president earlier this year floated relocating Palestinians and taking over the Gaza Strip to turn it into the 'Riviera of the Middle East.' Gazans criticized the proposal and vowed never to leave their homes in the coastal enclave. Human rights groups condemned the plan as ethnic cleansing. Trump and Netanyahu met for several hours in Washington while Israeli officials continued indirect negotiations with Hamas aimed at securing a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage-release deal. Netanyahu returned to the Blair House guest house late on Monday, where he is due to meet Vice President JD Vance at 9:30 EDT on Tuesday. Netanyahu's visit follows Trump's prediction, on the eve of their meeting, that such a deal could be reached this week. Before heading to Washington, the right-wing Israeli leader said his discussions with Trump could help advance negotiations under way in Qatar between Israel and the Palestinian group. It was Trump's third face-to-face encounter with Netanyahu since returning to office in January, and came just over two weeks after the president ordered the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites in support of Israeli air strikes. Trump then helped arrange a ceasefire in the 12-day Israel-Iran war. Trump said his administration would be meeting with Iran. 'We have scheduled Iran talks, and they … want to talk. They took a big drubbing,' he said. Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff said the meeting would take place in the next week or so. Trump said he would like to lift sanctions on Iran at some point. 'I would love to be able to, at the right time, take those sanctions off,' he said. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in an interview released on Monday that he believed Iran could resolve its differences with the United States through dialogue. Trump and his aides appeared to be trying to seize on any momentum created by the weakening of Iran, which backs Hamas, to push both sides for a breakthrough in the 21-month Gaza war. The two leaders, with their top advisers, held a private dinner in the White House Blue Room, instead of more traditional talks in the Oval Office, where the president usually greets visiting dignitaries. Outside, hundreds of protesters, many wearing Palestinian keffiyeh scarves and waving Palestinian flags, gathered near the White House, waving banners that read 'Stop Arming Israel' and 'Say No to Genocide'. They also called for Netanyahu's arrest, referring to the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against the Israeli leader over alleged war crimes in Gaza. Netanyahu met earlier on Monday with Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He planned to visit the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday to see congressional leaders. During their meeting, Netanyahu gave Trump a letter that he said he had used to nominate the U.S. president for the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump, appearing pleased by the gesture, thanked him. Ahead of their visit, Netanyahu told reporters Israeli negotiators were driving for a deal on Gaza in Doha, Qatar's capital. Israeli officials also hope the outcome of the conflict with Iran will pave the way for normalization of relations with more of its neighbors such as Lebanon, Syria and Saudi Arabia. Second day of Qatar talks Witkoff, who played a major role in crafting the 60-day ceasefire proposal at the center of the Qatar negotiations, will travel to Doha this week to join discussions there, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters earlier on Monday. In a sign of continued gaps between the two sides, Palestinian sources said Israel's refusal to allow the free and safe entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza remains the main obstacle to progress in the indirect talks. Israel insists it is taking steps to get food into Gaza but seeks to prevent militants from diverting supplies. On the second day of negotiations, mediators hosted one round and talks were expected to resume in the evening, the Palestinian sources told Reuters. The U.S.-backed proposal envisages a phased release of hostages, Israeli troop withdrawals from parts of Gaza and discussions on ending the war entirely. Hamas has long demanded a final end to the war before it would free remaining hostages; Israel has insisted it would not agree to halt fighting until all hostages are released and Hamas dismantled. Trump told reporters last week that he would be 'very firm' with Netanyahu on the need for a speedy Gaza deal and that the Israeli leader also wanted to end the war. Some of Netanyahu's hardline coalition partners oppose halting military operations but, with Israelis having become increasingly weary of the Gaza war, his government is expected to back a ceasefire if he can secure acceptable terms. A ceasefire at the start of this year collapsed in March, and talks to revive it have so far been fruitless. Meanwhile, Israel has intensified its military campaign in Gaza and sharply restricted food distribution. Gazans were watching closely for any sign of a breakthrough. 'I ask God almighty that the negotiating delegation or the mediators pressure with all their strength to solve this issue, because it has totally became unbearable,' said Abu Suleiman Qadoum, a displaced resident of Gaza city. The Gaza war erupted when Hamas attacked southern Israel in October 2023, killing around 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages. Some 50 hostages remain in Gaza, with 20 believed to be alive. Israel's retaliatory war in Gaza has killed over 57,000 Palestinians, according to the enclave's health ministry. Most of Gaza's population has been displaced by the war and nearly half a million people are facing famine within months, according to United Nations estimates. Trump has been strongly supportive of Netanyahu, even wading into domestic Israeli politics last month by criticizing prosecutors over a corruption trial against the Israeli leader on bribery, fraud and breach-of-trust charges that Netanyahu denies.

Naqvi assures KCCI: Efforts will be made to help UAE visa issue
KARACHI: Federal Minister for Interior & Narcotics Control, Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, while acknowledging the growing concern over widespread visa rejections particularly by the UAE, informed that he would meet the UAE Interior Minister the day after tomorrow to discuss the matter and expressed optimism that a resolution would be reached, especially considering the challenges faced by Pakistani citizens, notably members of the business community who frequently travel to the UAE for trade and business engagements. He added that steps are also being taken to improve the global ranking of the Pakistani passport, which, he assured, would reach a significantly better position in the next two years, making Pakistanis proud of holding the green passport. Speaking at a meeting of Karachi Chambers of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), the Interior Minister mentioned that Muharram was observed peacefully this year across Pakistan thanks to the efforts of Rangers, Civil Armed Forces, the Pakistan Army, and provincial governments. He noted a significant shift in strategy this year, with minimal mobile service suspension, limited only to specific sensitive areas, unlike previous years when blanket bans were imposed citywide. He assured that efforts are underway to make Karachi healthier, as a strong Karachi will positively impact the entire country. Addressing budget-related issues raised by KCCI, he committed to supporting their resolution and arranging meetings for deeper deliberation in this regard. Highlighting anti-smuggling efforts, he said that smuggling, once rampant, even of dollars, has been significantly curtailed over the past two years, though some challenges remain. He emphasized that smuggling is a 'termite' eating away at the economy, hindering industrial growth. The Pakistan Coast Guard (PCG), previously operating with only six boats along a 1,000+ km coastline, has been given two more boats, with plans to expand further by year-end. He stressed the need for better infrastructure and equipment to enable effective border security and anti-smuggling operations. Responding to KCCI's request regarding provision of CNIC and SIM verification at KCCI, the Minister noted that the Interior Ministry already has a setup in place and another is being developed. He assured that they will explore ways to provide KCCI access to this system for background checks before employment, enhancing security for the business community. Regarding the Safe City Project, the Minister reiterated that it is a top priority of the Prime Minister; as such systems are essential for crime prevention. Work on implementing this project in Karachi is underway, and every effort will be made to ensure its effective execution in the city to help reduce crime. In response to concerns over rising narcotics use, the Minister invited KCCI to collaborate with the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) to establish a rehabilitation center for 300 drug addicts, aiming to reintegrate them into society. He acknowledged that while crime in Karachi has not been entirely eliminated, the Sindh Police deserves credit for a notable reduction in criminal activity. 'Given Karachi's size and complexity, complete eradication is a challenge, but significant progress has been made', he added. On encroachments, the Minister stated that work is ongoing but emphasized the need for stricter laws, harsher punishments, and heavy fines to effectively address the issue and achieve meaningful results. Chairman BMG Zubair Motiwala, while highlighting encroachment as one of the most pressing issues in Karachi, stated that despite efforts by Rangers, the situation continues to deteriorate, with KCCI receiving increasing complaints about land grabbing and illegal occupation, yet no significant improvement has been observed. He noted that citizens have again started facing considerable difficulties in lodging FIRs, thanks to the strong re-eruption of the SHO culture, with instances of arbitrary arrests. To address this, he urged the Interior Minister to form special inspection teams that conduct surprise night visits to police stations to check for detentions made without FIRs. He also emphasized the urgent need for police reforms, pointing out that promotion from ASI to Sub-Inspector and SHO are often not based on merit, education, or performance. Salaries must also be revised upward to promote honesty and integrity within the police force. Motiwala proposed that the Ministry of Interior depute a liaison officer at KCCI, empowered to receive confidential complaints from the business community, similar to the arrangement made by former Interior Minister Rehman Malik. While acknowledging some improvement in law and order compared to previous years, he stressed that street crimes and snatching remain prevalent and must be tackled more effectively. He termed Karachi's water crisis as the most critical issue, noting that neither the general public nor industries are receiving adequate water. The K-IV project, Karachi's lifeline, has been redesigned 11 times but still remains incomplete. He pointed out that an estimated 250 MGD of water could be diverted through K-IV in its first phase to meet the city's dire needs, instead of being wasted and discharged into the sea. Motiwala also called for establishing a permanent liaison mechanism between KCCI and the Ministry of Interior, enabling swift communication and resolution during crises. He recommended that the Interior Minister visit KCCI at least once every two months to build stronger ties with the business community and maintain continuous engagement on critical issues. President KCCI Jawed Bilwani appreciated the effective strategy adopted by the Ministry of Interior for ensuring peaceful Muharram observance. While stressing the urgent need to curb smuggling, Bilwani proposed installing AI-based cameras with facial recognition at all entry and exit points, which would help prevent smuggling, kidnapping, snatching, and the inflow of criminal elements particularly during holy festivals. He also recommended installing barriers to stop unauthorized movement through 'Katcha' areas. He requested that the NADRA Executive Center at KCCI be equipped with CNIC verification and criminal background check facilities to assist businesses in hiring individuals with clean records. Additionally, a SIM verification facility should be provided to help identify numbers registered under specific CNICs and prevent misuse of identity information. Bilwani also expressed concern over the ineffective functioning of the Anomaly Committee, where valuable feedback from members was ignored and proper procedures were not followed. He warned that such neglect may harm business activity, increase unemployment, and worsen law and order. He also sought the Interior Minister's advocacy in shifting exporters back to the Final Tax Regime, warning that the high cost of doing business under the Normal Tax Regime could damage exports. Lastly, he raised alarm over the growing drug problem in schools and colleges, particularly the use of 'ice.' He called for strict action against traffickers and offered KCCI's full support in addressing this issue. Vice Chairman BMG Anjum Nisar, Senior Vice President Zia ul Arfeen, Vice President Faisal Khalil Ahmed, Chairman Law & Order Subcommittee Akram Rana, former Presidents Majyd Aziz, Younus Muhammad Bashir, Junaid Makda, Muhammad Idrees, Tariq Yousuf, Iftikhar Ahmed Sheikh, and other KCCI Managing Committee members and other attended the meeting.
