Netanyahu agrees to Trump’s plan to end Gaza war. But it remained unclear yesterday whether Hamas would accept the 20-point plan, which would require major concessions from the group, including disarming and giving up the administration of Gaza, while leaving the possibility of a Palestinian state potentially open—but likely only in a distant future. Trump’s plan calls for the war to end immediately and for Hamas to release all remaining hostages within 72 hours. It would put postwar Gaza’s reconstruction in the hands of an international “Board of Peace” headed by Trump and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Trump said that if Hamas did not agree to the plan, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu would have the “full backing” of the US “to do what you would have to do.”
The government will probably shut down at midnight. With the shutdown deadline looming, a meeting yesterday between President Trump and congressional leaders from both parties yielded no breakthrough on a deal to keep the government running once its current funding runs out. Democrats are demanding a budget that extends key Obamacare subsidies, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that “large differences” remained between the parties after the meeting. Both sides are blaming the other for the stalemate: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats would not support a budget that “continues to gut the health care of everyday Americans,” while Vice President JD Vance said, “We’re headed to a shutdown because the Democrats won’t do the right thing.”
Frank founder Charlie Javice gets 7 years for not being frank with JPMorgan. Javice—who was convicted of fraud in March for using fake data on how many users her college financing startup had to convince the world’s biggest bank to buy it for $175 million—was sentenced yesterday to 85 months in prison. Javice expressed remorse for her actions, something the judge seemed to accept while still saying punishment was necessary, albeit less than the 12 years prosecutors had asked for. During sentencing, the judge told the former “Forbes 30 Under 30” honoree that she is a “good person,” but that “others need to be deterred.”—AR
