Secretary of State Marco Rubio passed President Donald Trump a note during a White House event, hinting that a Mideast peace deal was close.
A photographer spotted what was written on the note.
Families of Israeli hostages welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of an Israel-Hamas cease-fire deal with both hope and apprehension, calling it a crucial step but vowing not to rest until all captives return home.
The deal raises the possibility that the war may now be over, ending the bloodiest fighting ever between Israelis and Palestinians.
Zelenskiy's account, based on a report by Ukraine's top commander, contrasted with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin's address to senior Russian officers a day earlier in which he said Moscow's forces held the strategic initiative in all frontline sectors. Zelenskiy, speaking in his nightly video address, said he spoke for almost an hour to top commander Oleksandr Syrskyi, with "particular attention on the Dobropillia operation, our counteroffensive".
Trump had kicked off the influencer event by telling assembled journalists that he planned to travel to the Middle East “toward the end of the week” and could even “make the rounds” in the region to Egypt and possibly the Gaza Strip as U.S. negotiators closed in on a deal.
Sébastien Lecornu, the outgoing prime minister, said MPs recognise the pressing need to pass a budget by the end of the year.
The Elysée’s statement comes after consultations with the current prime minister on the crisis that has engulfed France.
At least 14 soldiers were killed in South Sudan after a suspected "love triangle" dispute led to a shootout, the army said.
Israel assesses that Hamas may not be able to find and return all the remaining dead hostages in Gaza, according to three Israeli sources, a fact that may complicate efforts to reach a deal to end the war.
