Colonist attack Ramallah-area town, burn two vehicles
Local sources reported that colonists infiltrated the town at dawn, attacked residents' homes, and set fire to two vehicles, completely burning them. They also spray-painted racist and threatening graffiti on the outer wall of one of the homes.
The sources added that Israeli occupation forces stormed the town with several military vehicles following the attack.
On June 4, colonists established a new colonial outpost on the ruins of the homes of a Palestinian family who were displaced about a year ago following a series of violent attacks in the town of Taybeh.
On July 7, colonists set fire to the historic cemetery and church of St. George (Al-Khader) in the town, sparking widespread church and international condemnation of the settlers' attacks on holy sites and places of worship.
On July 14, a number of patriarchs and heads of churches in Jerusalem, along with diplomats from more than 20 Arab and foreign countries, visited the town of Taybeh, in light of the dangerous escalation in colonists' attacks on the town, its property, and its holy sites, especially the Christian churches and cemeteries.

Sisi urges Trump to exert all efforts to end Gaza war
Ammon News - Earlier on Monday, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called on Trump to exert all efforts to end the war in Gaza and allow entry of humanitarian aid into the shattered Palestinian enclave. "I direct this special message to President Trump: Please, exert all efforts to end this war and allow the entry of aid," Sisi said in a televised speech. He added that Trump was one who was "capable of stopping the war." Egypt, Qatar and the U.S. have been mediating in search of ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas since the war broke out on October 7, 2023. The latest round of indirect ceasefire talks in Doha between Israel and Hamas broke off last week with no deal in sight as mediators struggle to bridge the gaps between the two sides.

US senator wants Musk to block use of Starlink in Southeast Asia
Ammon News - A Democratic senator on Monday urged SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to block transnational criminal groups in Southeast Asia from using Starlink satellite internet service to commit fraud against Americans. Senator Maggie Hassan cited recent reports that Starlink is being used to facilitate fraud against Americans by a broad range of transnational criminal organizations operating "scam compounds" in Southeast Asia. The U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network said these groups defrauded Americans out of billions of dollars, she added. The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here. "Scam networks in Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, however, have apparently continued to use Starlink despite service rules permitting SpaceX to terminate access for fraudulent activity," Hassan wrote in a letter to Musk seen by Reuters. "SpaceX has a responsibility to block criminals from using the service to target Americans."

Trump says Gaza ceasefire is 'possible'
Ammon News - US President Donald Trump said on Monday that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza was "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.
