Israel rejects Hamas edits to Gaza truce proposal Middle EastIsraelHamasBenjamin NetanyahuGaza warTruce Proposal 2025-07-05 / 15:22 Shafaq News – Middle East/Gaza On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected Hamas’ changes to the ceasefire plan for Gaza. Netanyahu’s office confirmed that an Israeli delegation will travel to Doha on July 6 to resume negotiations. The latest Qatari proposal—backed by the United States—offers a phased ceasefire that could be extended beyond an initial 60-day period if both parties engage in good-faith negotiations. Earlier, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called on Netanyahu via X to drop the US-backed hostage deal, calling it a “surrender framework,” and instead pursue a “decisive victory.” Hamas delivered a “positive” reply to the latest ceasefire proposal after holding internal discussions and consultations with allied factions. However, the group’s respond includes key demands as a permanent halt to the fighting, United Nations oversight of humanitarian aid, and an Israeli withdrawal to positions held on March 2, before the renewed offensive and occupation of northern Gaza. The Doha talks are set to begin a day before Netanyahu meets with US President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss the Gaza ceasefire and the release of Israeli captives held in the enclave. The White House has not disclosed further details about the meeting. https://www.shafaq.com/en/Middle-East/Israel-rejects-Hamas-edits-to-Gaza-truce-proposal

PS: Open & expand both links, and look at the chart and comments. Any Republican President from Trump on might never be able to accomplish the goals they desire.

As ideal and hopeful this might sound, it would be catastrophic for our Republic. The only people who would actually switch would be Republicans tired of the current system, and Democrats seeking to cause further deception by joining - just to continue to vote for the Democratic candidates regardless (since they are really hard-core Dems). From that time on the Democrats would own every election because the Former Republicans would split the vote (remember Ross Perot), and the Democrats would continue to vote party line..! I believe the 2-to-1 ratio Musk identifies contains just the two types of converts I mentioned above. THINK ABOUT IT....RON

Musk creates party to challenge US system InternationalUSElon MuskAmerica PartyNew Party 2025-07-05 16:34 Shafaq News – Washington On Saturday, Elon Musk launched a new political organization called the “America Party,” presenting it as an alternative to the current US political system. In a statement on X, Musk claimed the party’s formation comes in response to a two-to-one majority of citizens wanting a new political party, based on the result of a survey he kicked off earlier. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1941584569523732930?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1941584569523732930|twgr^05e99309a431ff9c94ff671163b709a9cf5e6a3d|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fshafaq.com%2Fen%2FWorld%2FMusk-creates-party-to-challenge-US-system Musk harshly criticized what he described as the dominance of a “uniparty system” in the United States. He also outlined a focused electoral strategy targeting two to three Senate seats and eight to ten House districts, arguing that winning a few tightly contested races could influence key legislation and reflect the public’s will. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1941125459628179641?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1941125459628179641|twgr^05e99309a431ff9c94ff671163b709a9cf5e6a3d|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fshafaq.com%2Fen%2FWorld%2FMusk-creates-party-to-challenge-US-system Earlier, the US House of Representatives narrowly passed a sweeping tax and spending bill by a vote of 218 to 214, clearing the way for it to be sent to President Donald Trump for signing. Until late May, the US businessman served as head of a short-lived cabinet-level body called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was tasked with reducing federal expenditures. https://www.shafaq.com/en/World/Musk-creates-party-to-challenge-US-system

Police in Brazil arrest a suspect over $100M banking hack SAO PAULO (AP) — Police in Brazil arrested a suspect in connection with a cyberattack that diverted more than 540 million Brazilian reais (about $100 million) from the country’s banking systems, authorities said Friday. The breach affected Brazil’s widely used instant payment system, known as PIX, which is used by 76.4% of the population. Hackers targeted C&M, a software company that connects financial institutions to the Central Bank to enable PIX transactions. Police in Sao Paulo said the $100 million loss refers to just one financial institution that worked with C&M and total losses could be even higher......

LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. tax and spending bill passed on July 3 is expected to add more than $3 trillion to the country’s deficit over the next decade. If the current debt trajectory continues unabated, it could set off a slow motion debt spiral that could endanger the Federal Reserve’s independence. The sobering long-term debt projections of the Congressional Budget Office may actually understate the likely impact on U.S. debt-to-GDP levels of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill". The CBO based its estimate on the assumption that temporary increases in government spending and tax cuts will sunset at a projected date. But this new budget bill, which extended previous tax cuts and other measures, has shown that this sunset often never arrives. Thus, the long-term projections in the U.S. Treasury’s annual financial report may be more realistic since they assume the current rate of government spending will continue indefinitely. In the Treasury forecast, the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to increase to over 200% in 2050 compared to the CBO’s estimate of around 145%. Scarier still, the Treasury forecasts that the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio will reach 535% by 2100 if current spending plans continue. Proponents of tax cuts argue that they boost GDP growth and thus will slow the rise in debt-to-GDP, but the CBO estimates that the House Bill will only increase real GDP by an average of 0.5% over 10 years or 0.04% per year relative to the CBO’s January 2025 projections. The Tax Foundation estimates that the Senate Bill will boost GDP growth by 1.2% in the “long run”. That hardly makes a difference compared to an expected debt increase totalling almost 10% of GDP..........
