Israel orders evacuations in central Gaza as ceasefire talks stall and military offensive widens
SUMMARY: The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders for central Gaza, particularly around Deir al-Balah, restricting access to southern cities Rafah and Khan Younis. This marks a rare ground operation area amid ongoing, stalled ceasefire talks with Hamas in Qatar. Prime Minister Netanyahu says increased military pressure aims to push Hamas to negotiate. International aid groups in the evacuation zone have not commented. The military urged residents to move to a designated humanitarian tent camp, Muwasi. Gaza faces a catastrophic humanitarian crisis after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack and subsequent Israeli offensive, which has caused over 58,000 Palestinian deaths. Families of hostages and Israeli protesters demand an end to the conflict.

Trump denies writing it, calling the article defamatory. Dow Jones, the Journal’s publisher, stands by the report. The lawsuit emerges amid growing public and congressional demands for transparency in the Epstein case.

Trump administration imposes limits on Mexican flights and threatens Delta alliance in trade dispute
SUMMARY: The Trump administration imposed new restrictions on flights from Mexico, citing violations of a U.S.-Mexico aviation agreement. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy criticized Mexico for forcing airlines to use a less accessible airport, claiming it favored domestic carriers. In response, Mexican airlines must now seek U.S. approval for all flights. The move also threatens the Delta-Aeromexico partnership, which has existed since 2016 and supports \$800 million in annual savings. Delta warned the breakup would hurt consumers and jobs. The order to end the partnership won’t take effect until October, giving both airlines time to contest the decision.
