The former president’s attorney says Trump’s January 6 speech is protected by the First Amendment

Donald Trump’s attorney defended the former President’s January 6 speech, saying he has “absolute immunity.”

This is the first time that Trump and his legal advisors defended the speech.

Opponents say the speech sparked the Capitol Hill riots, where protesters stormed the White House.

Trump continues refusals to cede election

This follows Trump’s ongoing claims that he did nothing wrong to incite the Capitol Hill Riots.

He also continues to say he was “robbed” of the general election.

The former president’s attorney says: “while holding that office, former President Trump was free to advocate for the appointment and certification of electors.“

He also went on to say, “The claims against former President Trump directly contravene the absolute immunity conveyed on the President by the Constitution as a key principle of separation of powers.”

Twitter suspends Trump’s new account

This comes after Twitter suspended several accounts set up to share new statements from Trump’s website. Twitter says those accounts broke the platform’s rules against evading an account ban.

“We’ll take enforcement action on accounts whose apparent intent is to replace or promote content affiliated with a suspended account,” Twitter said.

Trump had more than 88 million followers on Twitter before the Capitol Hill riots. Since then, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have all banned former President Trump from their platforms.

Trump gives Hamas deadline to accept Gaza peace plan amid rising pressure from Arab states and ongoing conflict in the region

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.

U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
