Can Trump get Netanyahu to stop Gaza genocide?

ADVERTISEMENT The remarks by the president, made during a tour of a migrant detention center in Florida, came after he said earlier that he was hoping for a truce in the nearly 21-month conflict by 'sometime next week'. The Republican leader is set to host Netanyahu at the White House on 7 July and the swift resolution of Israel's 12-day war with Iran has revived hopes for a halt to the Gaza fighting. Almost relentless combat in the Palestinian territory since Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack on Israel has created dire humanitarian conditions for the population of more than two million. Trump was asked Tuesday by reporters if a ceasefire could be in place before Netanyahu's visit. ADVERTISEMENT 'We hope it's going to happen, and we're looking for it to happen sometime next week,' he said before departing for Florida. Trump has previously urged Israel to 'make the deal in Gaza,' but on the ground, Israel has continued to pursue its offensive across the Palestinian territory. The end of Israel's 12-day war with Iran – which followed a US bombing mission on Tehran's nuclear sites – has provided a window of opportunity for a deal, with Trump keen to add another peace agreement to a series of recent deals he has brokered. Asked at the detention centre how firm he will be with Netanyahu on ending the genocide, Trump replied: 'Very firm.' 'But he wants it too…. He wants to end it too,' Trump added. Netanyahu's third visit to the US in 2025 The visit next Monday will be Netanyahu's third since Trump returned to power in January, and comes on the heels of the US president making a rare intervention into domestic Israeli politics. Trump appeared over the weekend to threaten US aid to Israel as he called in a social media post for prosecutors to drop long-running corruption charges against Netanyahu. Netanyahu became the first foreign leader to visit Trump in his second term in February, when the US president surprised him by suddenly announcing a plan for the United States to 'take over' Gaza. The Israeli premier visited again in April. Do you think Trump will get Israeli prime minister to cease the attacks on Gaza?

SEX FILES: Relationship red flags aren't always as they seem
While being cautious when meeting new people is smart, there's always a risk of overdoing it, writes Simone Paget Photo by iStock / GETTY IMAGES Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected.

A few weeks ago, I was out for brunch with a group of friends when the conversation naturally turned to dating. My friend Elise started telling us about a man she'd recently met. As she recapped their first, second, and third dates, she said they'd all gone swimmingly. But there was one thing she couldn't shake: He seemed almost too good at communicating.

The conversation felt effortless. It left her wondering: Had she met someone genuinely emotionally available, or was he just really good at saying all the right things? With the explosion of TikTok dating influencers, everyone has become an armchair psychologist, on high alert for potential red flags. While being cautious when meeting new people is smart, there's always a risk of overdoing it. In a dating culture obsessed with spotting what's wrong, are we overlooking what's right? Emma Hathron, Dating and Relationship Expert at thinks so. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

'While social platforms like TikTok and Instagram have made conversations about dating and 'red flags' more accessible, they have also created a sense of quick-click diagnosis,' she said. 'This type of disinformation, while entertaining, often lacks nuance and fails to be backed by data and expert advice. This leads to normal, and often healthy, behaviors being labeled as 'red flags' without the full context.' For example, emotional vulnerability and effective communication. Hathron adds, 'As a result, many modern daters now interpret green flags as red simply because they've been conditioned to watch out for every behavior. This can create an over-analysis culture where emotional maturity is met with suspicion.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. However, social media isn't entirely to blame. Hathron points out that in the current dating culture, detachment and 'playing it cool' are often rewarded. In contrast, dating someone who expresses genuine interest and vulnerability can feel completely foreign and, in some cases, threatening for those used to game-playing and ghosting. 'We're told to expect mind games or hot-and-cold behavior. So, when someone shows up and is emotionally mature or clear, this can be mistaken as manipulative because it goes against what we have been conditioned to believe is desirable,' says Dr. Janine O'Brien, a licensed clinical psychologist. Our upbringing and previous relationships can also influence how we interpret other people's behavior, particularly if these past experiences involved environments where chaos, inconsistency, and emotional unavailability were the norm, says O'Brien. As someone who spent most of their twenties seeking out dysfunctional relationships because they felt familiar, this makes perfect sense. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Psychologically, it's pretty simple: Most of us are walking around unhealed from previous dating experiences or traumas,' says relationship expert and bestselling author Shantelle Bisson. If someone is accustomed to unhealthy relationship dynamics, they might perceive a healthy, emotionally intelligent person as a red flag, simply because they are unfamiliar. Read More When viewed through this lens, Hathron suggests that someone may be perceived as 'difficult' or lacking interest when they set boundaries, but in reality, this shows they're reliable, self-aware, and respectful of both their own needs and yours. Similarly, asking thoughtful questions or discussing relationship goals early on might seem like coming on too strong, but it reflects intentionality and a desire for meaningful connection. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. While this brand of hypervigilance may seem harmless — after all, it's better to be safe than sorry — it can create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Hathron says, 'When a person constantly labels healthy behavior as problematic, they end up dismissing emotionally available people.' For daters who want to become more discerning about what's truly a red flag, the suggestion is to slow down and check in with oneself: How does your body feel before, during, and after interacting with a person? O'Brien says, 'If you notice you're feeling uneasy or tense, start to ask yourself the question of 'is this feeling likely coming from there being a red flag or is it because it's an unfamiliar experience?'' Lastly, O'Brien encourages daters to look at red flags objectively. Is this red flag something that you don't like (for example, they don't have an Instagram), or is this a pattern of behavior that's a threat to your emotional or physical safety (for example, being dismissive of your feelings or having issues with anger)? She also suggests daters explore their attachment style and how past experiences may impact dating. 'Sometimes the red flag isn't them; it's our fear of being truly known,' says O'Brien.

US hit by first extreme heat wave of the year
Meteorologists are describing the intensifying weather pattern as a heat dome, a high-pressure system that traps air and leads to steadily rising thermal readings. 27 Jun 2025 07:00pm People cool off in the shade along the Riverwalk as temperatures climbed into the mid-90s on June 23, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by SCOTT OLSON / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Getty Images via AFP) NEW YORK - A potentially life-threatening heat wave enveloped the eastern third of the United States earlier this week impacting nearly 160 million people, with temperatures expected to climb to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) in the New York metropolitan area. The country's first significant scorching heat of the year arrived over the weekend and peaks Monday and Tuesday in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York City. Few people opted for the upper deck on a tour on the Chicago River as temperatures climbed into the mid-90s on June 23, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by SCOTT OLSON / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Getty Images via AFP) "This extreme heat will not just be uncomfortable and oppressive for New Yorkers," warned Mayor Eric Adams, adding that each year heat claims the lives of 500 people in this city of eight million. "It's going to be brutal and dangerous if you do not treat it with the understanding that we want you to," he added. As sweltering heat enveloped the city, authorities urged seniors, people with health problems and those without air conditioning to stay hydrated and seek help at designated cooling centers such as libraries and recreation facilities. Heat records tumbled across parts of the US Northeast, including in Central Park, known as the lungs of Manhattan, where Monday's temperature of 96 degrees broke a record that had stood since 1888, according to the National Weather Service. "Extreme Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories across much of the eastern third of the country (are) affecting nearly 160 million people" across at least 29 states, the NWS reported. "This level of HeatRisk is known for being rare and/or long duration with little to no overnight relief, and affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration," the agency warned. Meteorologists are describing the intensifying weather pattern as a heat dome, a high-pressure system that traps air and leads to steadily rising thermal readings. For many in the Big Apple, avoiding work in the searing heat was not an option. "We have to endure it, because otherwise what are we going to survive on?" Manuel, a manual worker repairing a building facade in New York's Harlem neighborhood, told AFP. "Sometimes we stop because it's a danger. We don't all have the same energy, but you have to endure," he added. In the Washington Heights neighborhood, authorities opened several fire hydrants so residents could seek relief with the gushing water. One of the local heroes was Ronald Marcelin, a 44-year-old air conditioning technician sweating profusely as he repaired a pizzeria's AC unit. "I'm taking the heat so that everyone else can cool down," Marcelin said with a grin. Triple digits The soaring temperatures come just as New Yorkers head to the polls Tuesday for the Democratic primary that will decide the party's mayoral candidate. It promises to be a tight race between Andrew Cuomo, who is seeking political resurrection after resigning in disgrace as state governor in 2021, and rising left-wing star Zohran Mamdani. Over the weekend, Cuomo urged residents to cast their votes even if the temperatures hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In Washington, the heat index -- what the temperature feels like with humidity factored in -- was forecast to soar to as high as 110 F on Monday, and the mayor's office urged residents to take advantage of cooling centres. Scientists say extreme heat waves are a clear sign of global warming, and they are expected to become more frequent, longer, and more intense. Fueled by human-caused climate change, 2024 was the warmest year on record globally -- and 2025 is projected to rank among the top three. - AFP
