I'm Celia Hatton, and in the early hours of Tuesday, December the 30th, these are our main stories. After talks with Israel's leader, President Trump issues a warning to Hamas, telling the militant group it needs to disarm quickly or face serious consequences. Russia accuses Ukraine of launching a drone attack on one of President Vladimir Putin's residences.
Also in this podcast... Me and my brother were both raised on my dad's stories when we were younger. He always told us of his adventures when he was cycling across the world and how kind the world actually is and how amazing it is.
We hear from a cyclist who set out to repeat his father's epic bike journey from Britain to Australia. We begin this podcast in Florida, in the United States, where a smiling Israeli prime minister has met Donald Trump at the U.S. president's Mar-a-Lago residence. Ahead of their talks, the meeting had been billed as a chance for Mr. Trump to press Benjamin Netanyahu to do more to move towards a lasting peace in Gaza. A shaky ceasefire has been in place in the region for just over 80 days. There have been indications the Trump administration has been frustrated by Israel's apparent reluctance to put an international governing body into place in Gaza. But when meeting reporters after their talks, the president said that unlike Hamas, Israel was complying with the Gaza ceasefire deal.
We talked about Hamas and we talked about disarmament. And they're going to be given a very short period of time to disarm. And we'll see how that works out. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be in charge of that from our side. But if they don't disarm, as they agreed to do, they have to disarm within a fairly short period of time.
Mr. Trump also said that the reconstruction of Gaza would begin very soon without giving any timeline. Our North America correspondent Sean Dilley has been following developments from Washington.
It was a very warm welcome for Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, the president's Florida residence. Donald Trump describing him as a wartime prime minister and even a hero. And in return, Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel had never had a closer friend in the White House. In the afternoon, Benjamin Netanyahu said that Donald Trump was a man who bucked convention. So Israel would too like to buck convention. They awarded him the Israel Prize and he's the first non-Israeli to receive that. for his support of Israel. The two leaders discussed a variety of issues from Iran. Donald Trump said if the country rebuilds its nuclear programme, that threat would be eradicated. Donald Trump pledging that he would sort it so that the leaders of Syria and Israel get along.
But the hottest topic, no doubt, was that of Gaza stuck in its first phase of a three phase US backed plan, which involves 20 points. If it achieves its aims by the end of 2027, the Palestinian Authority would take control of Gaza. But the reason it stuck is that part of that plan is that Israel is supposed to remove its forces.
