- Trump announced Israel's agreement to accept the terms of a cease-fire in Gaza. What the media is writing
US President Donald Trump has announced that Israel has agreed to the conditions necessary for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, Hamas rejected the proposal of the head of the White House. In the coming days, Trump will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after which he expects a truce to be concluded. What the world's media write about the situation in Gaza is in the Izvestia digest.
CNN: Trump announced Israel's agreement to the terms of the cease-fire in Gaza
Trump said Israel had "agreed to the necessary conditions" to complete a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. It is not yet clear whether the radical Hamas group will accept these conditions. Two U.S. administration officials said the organization would have to agree to the deal. Trump also said that Qatar and Egypt will comply with it.

"Today, my representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis on Gaza," Trump wrote. "Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to complete a 60—day cease—fire, during which we will work with all parties to end the war. The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring peace, will present this final proposal. I hope, for the sake of the Middle East, that Hamas accepts this agreement, because it won't get better, it will only get worse. Thank you for your attention to this issue!"
On July 1, the Qatari authorities presented Hamas and Israel with a new proposal for a 60-day cease-fire, which was supported by the Trump administration. The proposal was finalized after months of behind-the-scenes efforts led by the US President's special envoy, Steve Witkoff. It was presented on the same day that Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer visited Washington for meetings with top Trump administration officials.
Associated Press: Hamas responded to Trump's proposal
Hamas said it was open to a cease-fire agreement with Israel, but did not accept the U.S.-backed proposal announced by Trump a few hours earlier. The group insists on its long-held position that any deal must end the war in Gaza.

Trump has said the 60-day period will be used to work towards ending the war — something Israel says it will not accept until Hamas is defeated. He said a deal could be reached as early as next week. However, Hamas' response, which emphasized its demand to end the war, raised questions about whether the latest proposal could materialize into a real pause in the fighting.
Hamas spokesman Taher al-Nounou said the militant group was "ready and serious about reaching an agreement." He said that Hamas is "ready to accept any initiative that will clearly lead to a complete end to the war." A Hamas delegation is expected to meet with Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo on July 2 to discuss the proposal.
The New York Times: Trump and Netanyahu plan to meet soon
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump are scheduled to meet next week in the United States. This will be the Israeli leader's third visit to Washington in less than six months. Netanyahu's arrival will come at a time when international attention is once again focused on efforts to achieve a truce in the nearly two-year-old war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The New York Times
Indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas did not lead to a cease-fire, prolonging the suffering of more than two million Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the captivity of Israeli hostages. The two sides could not agree on how long the cease-fire should last, with Hamas demanding a complete end to the war, and Netanyahu expressing interest only in a temporary truce until the military wing and the government of Hamas were disbanded.
Speaking at a meeting with the ministers on July 1, Netanyahu said that during his stay in the United States, he plans to meet with Vice President Jay Dee Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Utikoff. Trump told reporters at the White House that he and Netanyahu would discuss Gaza and Iran. Asked about the cease-fire in Gaza, he said, "We hope it happens, and we look forward to it happening sometime next week."
NBC News: Philanthropists opposed U.S. and Israeli aid in Gaza
About 170 charities and aid groups have called for the termination of the US- and Israeli-backed Humanitarian Relief Fund for Gaza (GHF) and accused Israeli forces and armed groups of "regularly" opening fire on Palestinians who want to receive humanitarian aid. In a joint statement, they said that more than 500 Palestinians had been killed and nearly 4,000 injured in less than four weeks while trying to access or distribute food in the Gaza Strip.

They added that the GHF plan forces 2 million hungry people to walk through dangerous terrain and conflict zones to reach paramilitary distribution points, where they have to "fight" for limited food supplies in "chaotic pens." "These areas have been the sites of repeated massacres, which is a blatant disregard for international humanitarian law," they said in a statement.
Almost daily, there are allegations that the Israeli military is deliberately shooting at aid recipients, which the IDF denies. The UN has condemned GHF's aid system, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calling it "inherently unsafe." Refuting these claims, GHF stated that it "delivers millions of servings of food every day directly to the Palestinian people, who deserve it and need help."
The National Interest: Israel is increasingly dependent on the increasingly less supportive United States
In June, Netanyahu broke a long-standing taboo and requested not only defensive support from the United States, but also American pilots and planes to bomb Iran's nuclear infrastructure. This unprecedented request marked the peak of Israel's dependence on the United States. At the same time, some in Jerusalem are concerned that demographic and political changes in America are gradually creating pressure, leading to a weakening of ties between the two countries.
The National Interest
For most of Israel's existence, American public life has been dominated by a generation that witnessed or grew up shortly after World War II, when the trauma of the Holocaust and Israel's war for existence played a central role in the political and media agenda. But this generation is starting to fade from the scene. He is being replaced by a generation whose ties to the Jewish community and attitudes towards Israel are much more ambiguous.
The aging establishment of the Democratic Party, which has been the political home of American Jews since the early 20th century, has allowed them to achieve positions of power and influence in the political system. However, at the same time, the Democratic Party is becoming a home for black, Hispanic, and Muslim activists. These groups are gradually becoming the party's electoral base, making it less dependent on the support of liberal Jews, whose numbers are declining. The Republican Party, which is nominally sympathetic to Israel, is becoming more populist and isolationist, while pro-Israel Republican hawks and neoconservative intellectuals are losing the opportunity to dictate the party's foreign policy agenda.
