What did President Trump say about an imminent Gaza cease‑fire deal?
Live from NPR News in Washington on Korva Coleman, President Trump says he thinks Israel and Hamas will reach a deal over Gaza soon. And Pierre's Luke Garrett reports Trump said earlier this is the final warning for Hamas.
President Trump said Israel has accepted terms on a Gaza deal but did not provide details. In a Sunday afternoon social media post, Trump urged Hamas to accept this deal and release the hostages, saying this is his quote last warning. The president posted this while attending the US Open men's championship. Trump spoke to reporters after flying back to Joint Base Andrews near Washington DC. The president says he had quote good discussions while on Air Force One.
I think we're gonna have a deal on Gaza very soon.
Trump did not give details on the Gaza deal, but he did say he thinks the remaining Israeli hostages and bodies will be returned. Luke Garrett, NPR News, Washington.
Israeli authorities say gunmen have killed at least five people in Jerusalem today. Hamas has praised the attack. As NPR's Daniel Estron reports from Tel Aviv, the shooting comes as Israel is considering a US proposal for a Gaza City.
How did the Jerusalem shooting unfold and what were the immediate responses?
Cease fire. Israeli police say two gunmen opened fire toward a bus stop at a major intersection in northern Jerusalem, leading to Jewish settlements in the East Jerusalem area. They say a security officer and civilian shot the gunmen. The Israeli military said the gunmen were Palestinian. Israeli emergency services said a woman and several men were killed in the attack, and others were seriously wounded from gunshots. No group immediately took responsibility, but Hamas commended the attack and said Israel's plans to occupy Gaza City would not go unpunished. Before the attack, Israel said it was seriously considering President Trump's new offer for a Gaza ceasefire. Hamas said it's ready to negotiate.
What are President Trump’s remarks to the White House Religious Liberty Commission about?
Daniel Estrin, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
President Trump is scheduled to deliver remarks to the White House Religious Liberty Commission today. That meeting will be held in Washington DC at the Museum of the Bible. South Korean officials say they've reached a deal for the release of more than three hundred people. They were detained in a US immigration raid last week at a Hyundai electric vehicle battery plant in southern Georgia.
Why were 475 South Korean workers detained in Georgia and what is being done to release them?
The facility is one of several major South Korean investments in that state. From Member Station WABE, Molly Samuel has
more. The plant is a joint venture between Korean companies Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution. It's under construction near a Hyundai EV and hybrid car factory that began production last year. Georgia has long-running business ties to South Korea, and the state maintains an office in Seoul. 475 people were detained in the raid, most of them South Korean nationals. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the months long investigation is the biggest in agency history. A South Korean official said they plan to push to review visa policies, and the country is chartering a plane to bring the Korean workers home. For NPR News, I'm Molly Samuel in Atlanta.
You're listening to NPR News from Washington. President Trump says he does not want to go to war in American cities.
Who won the US Open men’s singles and what made Carlos Alcaraz’s victory historic?
This remark comes after he posted an image online of himself over the weekend sitting in front of a picture of the Chicago skyline with flames and helicopters. He wrote Chicago was about to find out why it's called the Department of War. That's his alternate name for the Department of Defense. Trump now says his administration will clean up cities, not go to war. Carlos Alcaraz is the winner of the US Open men's tennis tournament. The twenty two year old Spaniard now has six tennis grand slam titles to his name. And with this win, he reclaims the world number one ranking. NPR's Becky Sullivan has more.
Alcaraz was on fire at the US Open this year. He didn't drop a single set on his way to the men's singles final. There he met who else? Yannick Sinner, the twenty four year old Italian with whom Alcarez has taken over the world of men's tennis. In Queens on Sunday, Alcaraz finally lost a set, but only one, ultimately beating Sinner in four sets, six two, three six, six one, six four.
