Biden calls for immediate cease-fire after Israel’s deadly strike

In the aftermath of the deadly strike on the World Central Kitchen in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials have issued apologies.

But pressure continues to escalate from the White House and humanitarian organisations for Israel to take immediate action to safeguard noncombatants and allow more humanitarian aid into the region.

The White House revealed that President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu discussed the latest developments in Israel and Gaza, underscoring the gravity of the situation.

However, the conversation has not alleviated concerns over Israel’s military actions.

Israel admitted to mistakenly targeting vehicles carrying aid workers, leading to questions about the effectiveness of the mechanisms employed by its military to protect humanitarian workers.

Tragic incidents

In response, Israeli authorities announced changes in coordination with aid groups on the ground to prevent such tragic incidents from recurring.

President Biden condemned the strikes on the Washington-based charity, urging Israel to expedite its investigation.

He has consistently criticized Israel for failing to ensure the safety of civilians, including humanitarian workers, in Gaza. Biden cautioned against any offensive in Rafah without a credible plan to protect civilians, a concern echoed by U.S. officials.

The deadly attack has sparked heightened scrutiny from congressional critics, who are calling for a firmer stance from Biden towards Netanyahu.

Some Democrats are demanding increased protection for civilians and are pushing for more stringent conditions on aid, potentially complicating the passage of a $95 billion aid bill in the House, which includes funding for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.

It is anticipated that approximately 20 Democrats will oppose the bill due to concerns about the ongoing conflict.

Jury finds Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts

Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime when a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 election.

After deliberations over two days, the 12-member jury announced it had found Trump guilty on all 34 counts he faced. Unanimity was required for any verdict.
Trump watched the jurors dispassionately as they were polled to confirm the guilty verdict.
Justice Juan Merchan set sentencing for July 11, days before the July 15 start of the Republican National Convention expected to formally nominate Trump for president.

Merchan thanked the jurors for their service. “Nobody can make you do anything you don’t want to do. The choice is yours,” Merchan said.

The verdict plunges the United States into unexplored territory ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election, when Trump, the Republican candidate, will try to win the White House back from Democratic President Joe Biden.

Appeal looms

Trump, 77, has denied wrongdoing and was expected to appeal.
“This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who is corrupt,” Trump told reporters afterwards.
“The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people,” Trump said, adding: “I am a very innocent man.”
He faces a maximum sentence of four years in prison, though others convicted of that crime often receive shorter sentences, fines or probation. Incarceration would not prevent him from campaigning, or taking office if he were to win.
