Israel and Gaza Ceasefire

Israeli militants broke the ceasefire with Gaza, launching balloon firebombs

Israel just confirmed its aircraft struck Hamas military compounds with balloon firebombs at 1am local time.

The bombs caused several fires in the South of Israel.

The attack follows thousands of Israeli protesters taking to the streets in East Jerusalem

This comes after thousands of right-wing nationalists marched through Jerusalem yesterday, chanting “death to Arabs”.

A Hamas spokesman told the ABC Palestinians would continue to pursue their “brave resistance and defend their rights and sacred sites” in Jerusalem.

Hamas had previously warned that it would see the protests as “provocation”.

In a statement, the Israeli military said that it was “ready for all scenarios, including renewed fighting in the face of continued terrorist acts emanating from Gaza”.

The attack comes weeks after Israeli airstrikes in May killed over 250 Palestinians.

The airstrikes seem to have quietened at 3am this morning local time

In Short:
– Japan’s PM Sanae Takaichi will negotiate with Trump on pickups, soybeans, and natural gas next week.
– Takaichi won’t commit to new defence spending, focusing on strengthening U.S.-Japan relations and investment discussions.
Japan’s new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, is preparing to negotiate with U.S. President Donald Trump next week, aiming to present a package that includes U.S. pickups, soybeans, and natural gas.Takaichi’s administration will not commit to new defence spending at the meeting, despite U.S. pressure for Japan and allies to increase contributions. The meeting will take place during Trump’s first visit to Japan since his re-election, following a prior agreement for Japan to invest up to $550 billion in the U.S. in exchange for lower car tariffs.

The alliance with the U.S. is crucial to Japan’s foreign and security policy, according to Takaichi. A successful dialogue with Trump could strengthen her government, which operates with a parliamentary minority. Washington’s support is essential for Takaichi to advance her regional security agenda.

Diplomatic Details

Main initiatives include purchasing Ford F-150 pickup trucks, an idea suggested by Trump, and increasing U.S. soybean imports amidst declining exports to China. U.S. pickups are impractical for most Japanese consumers but may find utility in specific roles like snow plowing.

Japan plans to enhance its acquisition of U.S. liquefied natural gas, although it will not initially source from a Trump-favoured Alaskan pipeline. Investment discussions will accompany the trade talks, ensuring that Takaichi maintains commitments made by her predecessor.

In defence, Takaichi seeks to solidify ties with the U.S., with Japan housing a significant U.S. military presence. Japan’s defence strategy will undergo reviews to potentially accelerate military capabilities.
