Trump says Israel agreed to terms for 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, warns Hamas to take deal
'My Representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza. Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War,' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
'The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring Peace, will deliver this final proposal,' the president added. 'I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE.'
It is not immediately clear if Hamas, designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government, will accept the terms of the deal.
The announcement comes as Trump is set to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week at the White House, where the two leaders are slated to discuss trade, the aftermath of the Israel-Iran conflict and the Israel-Hamas war.
'He's coming here. We're going to talk about a lot of things. We're going to talk about the great success we had … in Iran, we had an incredible success,' Trump said Tuesday morning. 'We're also going to talk about Gaza.'
Trump has pushed both Israel and Hamas to reach a ceasefire and the release of hostages, developments that would help lead to an end in the war in Gaza.
'MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday. 'GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!! DJT.'
Previous attempts to secure a ceasefire between the two sides have failed. The administration's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff sent over a proposal, greenlighted by Israel, in late May that would have Hamas exchange 10 living Israeli hostages along with 18 bodies from Gaza for a two-month truce. Israel would, in return, free more than 1,000 Palestinian detainees. Hamas offered amendments, with Witkoff stating the militant group's response was 'totally unacceptable.'
Qatari officials sent over a new proposal to both Israel and Hamas on Tuesday, supported by the Trump administration, according to multiple outlets. The same day, Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer met with Trump administration officials in Washington, a U.S. official briefed on the matter told The Hill on Tuesday.

Donald Trump's Approval Rating Flips With Baby Boomers
Donald Trump's support among baby boomers has rebounded sharply, giving the president a boost with one of his most dependable voting blocs as he heads into the 2026 midterm cycle. In the latest Quantus Insights poll, Trump's approval rating with baby boomers has flipped from being even to solidly positive. Last month, his numbers among over-65s stood at 49 percent approve and 49 percent disapprove. This month's results, however, show a significant turnaround. Trump now sits at 56 percent approve and 41 percent disapprove, a net positive of +15 points and a 15-point swing in his favor in just a few weeks. The reversal underscores Trump's enduring appeal with older conservatives, even as his approval ratings have dropped among younger Americans and some other key groups. Baby boomers—who were critical to Trump's win in 2024, when 51 percent of the age group voted for him—remain a vital pillar of his political base. While the Quantus Insights poll showed a boost in boomer support for the president, other polls show that his approval rating among this demographic has remained remarkably consistent in recent months. A YouGov/Economist poll found Trump's rating among over-65s holding steady at 45 percent approve/53 percent disapprove in June—barely changed from May's numbers of 45/51. An ActiVote poll shows a similar pattern, with Trump's approval slipping only slightly from 48 percent approve/48 percent disapprove in May to 42/52 in June among over-65s. Marist polling, too, shows almost no movement among boomers, with 41 percent approve/58 percent disapprove in June for over-60s compared with 40/57 in April. A Fox News poll recorded a modest shift, with Trump's rating among over-65s at 46/53 in June, up just a few points from 43/57 in April. Trump's standing with boomers could collapse in the coming months after Congress passed Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" on Thursday. It will cut roughly $1.1 trillion in health care spending and result in 11.8 million people losing Medicaid health insurance over the next decade, according to new estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. In 2021, approximately 9.4 million individuals aged 65 and older were enrolled in Medicaid, according to the Brookings Institution, including many who are "dual eligibles," meaning they are enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid. This makes Medicaid the single largest payer for long-term services and supports in the country. In fact, more than 60 percent of nursing home residents in the U.S. depend on Medicaid to help pay for their care. Recent polls have shown that a majority of Americans say they oppose Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act. A Quinnipiac poll conducted June 22-24 found that 55 percent of Americans oppose the bill. A Fox News survey from June 13-16 put opposition even higher, at 59 percent. Meanwhile, a KFF poll from June 4-8 showed the strongest pushback, with 64 percent saying they reject the legislation. Even polls with relatively lower opposition still show more Americans against the bill than in favor. A Washington Post-Ipsos poll, conducted June 6–10, found 42 percent opposed but only 23 percent support it. While a Pew Research Center survey conducted June 2-8 showed 49 percent disapproval and 29 percent in favor. All five surveys included samples of at least 950 U.S. adults, indicating broad national sentiment. In the Quinnipiac poll, 47 percent of registered voters said they support the Medicaid work provision in the bill and 46 percent said they oppose them, effectively a dead heat. Meanwhile, the KFF poll found that 79 percent of Americans think it is the government's responsibility "to provide health insurance coverage to low-income Americans who cannot afford it." During his campaign, Trump vowed: "We're not cutting Medicaid, we're not cutting Medicare, and we're not cutting Social Security." Trump's approval rating among baby boomers is likely to fluctuate throughout his second term.

Ship attacked in Red Sea off Yemen with gunfire, rocket-propelled grenades, UK maritime agency says
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A ship came under attack Sunday in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen by armed men firing guns and launching rocket-propelled grenades, a group overseen by the British military said. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which comes as tensions remain high in the Middle East over the Israel-Hamas war and after the Iran-Israel war and airstrikes by the United States targeting Iranian nuclear sites. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said that an armed security team on the ship had returned fire and that the 'situation is ongoing.' 'Authorities are investigating,' it said. Ambrey, a maritime security firm, issued a warning saying that a merchant ship had been 'attacked by eight skiffs while transiting northbound in the Red Sea.' It said it believed the attack was ongoing. The U.S. Navy's Mideast-based 5th Fleet referred questions to the military's Central Command, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Yemen's Houthi rebels have been launching missile and drone attacks against commercial and military ships in the region in what the group's leadership has described as an effort to end Israel's offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Between November 2023 and January 2025, the Houthis targeted more than 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones, sinking two of them and killing four sailors . That has greatly reduced the flow of trade through the Red Sea corridor, which typically sees $1 trillion of goods move through it annually. The Houthis paused attacks in a self-imposed ceasefire until the U.S. launched a broad assault against the rebels in mid-March. That ended weeks later and the Houthis haven't attacked a vessel, though they have continued occasional missile attacks targeting Israel. Meanwhile, a wider, decadelong war in Yemen between the Houthis and the country's exiled government, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, remains in a statemate. Pirates from Somalia also have operated in the region, though typically they've sought to capture vessels either to rob or ransom their crews. Error!

President Trump Had 1-Word Response For Danica Patrick Question
President Trump Had 1-Word Response For Danica Patrick Question originally appeared on The Spun. If you're not familiar with Danica Patrick's social media activity, she often voices her support for President Donald Trump. Leading up to the 2024 presidential election, Patrick took a handful of jabs at former Vice President Kamala Harris. She even made a passionate speech about Trump during a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania. After Trump won the election in November, the former NASCAR driver posted this message on Instagram: "The work is not done until we can wear or fly an American flag, say we want to make America great again, and say I LOVE THIS COUNTRY….. and have that make us American, not Republican." Last weekend, Trump received a lot of criticism from the public for successfully bombing Iran. He wrote on Truth Social that a "full payload of BOMBS" were dropped on three nuclear sites. Patrick applauded that move from Trump. She said, "Thank you to all that keep America safe and strong." However, she still had a question for the 47th president of the United States. On Friday night, Patrick revealed that she spent time with Trump at a rally in Michigan. "I asked President Trump on the flight home from the last rally in Michigan... what is the most important quality of being in office was," Patrick wrote on Instagram. Trump had a one-word response to that question from Patrick: courage. While plenty of people have ripped Trump in the past, a former Bill Clinton National Security Council staffer applauded his decision to bomb Iran. He referred to it as a courageous action. "I am not a fan of many of Donald Trump's actions, but I will speak openly and honestly when he takes bold steps defending America's interests, as he did tonight," Jamie Metzl said. Suffice to say, courage is important to have when you're running a Trump Had 1-Word Response For Danica Patrick Question first appeared on The Spun on Jun 28, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jun 28, 2025, where it first appeared.
