Israel begins preparations for Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan
TEL AVIV — Israel’s army said Saturday it has begun advancing preparations for the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan for Gaza, following Hamas’ partial acceptance of the proposal.The military said it was ordered by Israeli leaders to “advance readiness” for implementation of the plan and has shifted to a defensive-only posture inside Gaza, though no forces have been withdrawn.The announcement came after Trump instructed Israel to halt bombing once Hamas indicated it had agreed to some elements of the U.S. initiative.“I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE,” Trump said, framing the proposal as the final chance to end the nearly two-year war and secure the release of dozens of hostages. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has endorsed the...

Japan’s ruling party elects Sanae Takaichi as leader, paving way for first female prime minister
TOKYO — Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) elected Sanae Takaichi as its new leader on Friday, setting the stage for the 64-year-old conservative lawmaker to become the country’s first female prime minister.Takaichi, a former government minister, television host, and avid heavy metal drummer, is one of Japan’s most recognizable—and polarizing—political figures.A protégé of the late Shinzo Abe, she has pledged to revive his economic program, known as Abenomics, combining high fiscal spending with cheap borrowing.Her leadership comes at a turbulent time for the party. Former Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba resigned last month after just over a year in office following a string of election defeats that cost the LDP coalition its majority in both houses of...

Senate majority leader urges Democrats to back House bill to end US government shutdown
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Friday called on Democrats to join Republicans in passing a House-approved stopgap funding bill that he said would reopen the federal government immediately, as the shutdown entered its third day."We have an opportunity to pick up a House-passed bill that—if it passes the Senate—will be sent to the White House, the president will sign it, and the government will reopen. It's that simple and that straightforward," Thune told reporters."All we need is a handful more Democrats," he said, noting that 55 senators have already voted for the continuing resolution (CR), which he described as "clean, short-term, non-partisan."Democrats, however, have vowed not to support any measure that does not extend health...
