Netanyahu works “in full cooperation” with Trump, included in a possible resumption of the Gaza war
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday after meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that he works “in full cooperation” with that country’s President Donald Trump, including those related to resuming the war in Gaza if the hostages are not released.
“Contrary to what is published, President (American Donald) Trump and I are working in full cooperation and coordination,” Netanyahu said in a joint statement to the press after his meeting with Rubio in Jerusalem.
“We have a shared strategy that is not always possible to detail to the public, including when the gates of hell will open,” he added, which he said will happen if Hamas does not return “to the last” of the hostages.
In addition, Netanyahu spoke of the common threat of Iran, and assured that both Israel and the United States agree that “the ayatollahs should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons,” according to statements collected by the Hebrew press, and that “Iran’s aggression in the region must be reversed.”
For his part, Rubio said that “Hamas cannot continue as a military or government force” within the Gaza Strip and that “it must be eradicated,” in line with the war objectives repeated today by Netanyahu.
The new head of US diplomacy arrived in Israel last night after participating in the Munich Security Conference and as part of a tour that will also take him to Saudi Arabia, where he is scheduled to meet with Russian officials to start negotiations and end the war in Ukraine, CNN reported.
Rubio also met with the Israeli Foreign Minister, Gideon Saar, who said in a statement that he had addressed with the American how to strengthen and establish relations with the countries of the Abraham Agreements, thanks to which in 2020 Israel normalized relations with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and then Morocco, and has been wanting to do the same with Saudi Arabia for some time.
In addition, Saar said that they also talked about the transfer of more embassies to Jerusalem – a gesture that Trump already materialized with the American in his first term -, in addition to the “legal fight against Israel” in the International Criminal Court and how to stop anti-Semitism.
The Israeli president, for his part, said yesterday that he will gather his security cabinet “as soon as possible” to decide the future of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, and last night he held consultations with senior Defense officials and officials, according to the Hebrew press.
US President Donald Trump said he would support any decision by Israel on the ceasefire, and according to public radio Kan, Netanyahu again opposed the entry of prefabricated houses and heavy machinery to unclea Gaza, despite the fact that it was stipulated in the first phase of the agreement.
Negotiations on phase II have not begun, Basem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, confirmed today to EFE: “This is a very serious violation that demonstrates the bad intentions (of Israel) regarding the future of the agreement,” Naim added.
The Israeli Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, said on Saturday that Israel is preparing “offensive plans” in Gaza while making “huge efforts” to bring back the hostages. Halevi will travel to the United States tonight until the 20th to meet with his counterpart, the commander of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) and other senior US military officials.

Trump says Jimmy Kimmel show suspension due to poor ratings, not politics
U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed any political motive behind ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show, stating that the decision is due to “poor viewership ratings” and not a reaction to Kimmel’s comments about the death of Charlie Kirk.
The suspension of Kimmel’s program was announced yesterday and coincided with the comedian’s remarks regarding Kirk’s death and the reactions of prominent Republican figures in the United States.
However, Trump, on his social media platform Truth Social, emphasized that the cancellations of both Kimmel’s and Stephen Colbert’s shows are due to low ratings and limited audience reach.
“Good news for the United States: Jimmy Kimmel’s show, with terrible ratings, has been canceled! Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to make this decision. Kimmel has no talent, and his ratings are even worse than Colbert’s, if that’s possible. Now only Jimmy and Seth remain, two failures, on the fake news network NBC. Their ratings are also catastrophic,” Trump wrote.
ABC announced on Wednesday that Jimmy Kimmel’s variety show will be taken off the air “indefinitely,” following threats of legal action from the U.S. government after the host made comments on the political repercussions of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Padilla and Durbin seek oversight as deportation of Guatemalan minors sparks legal concerns
Democratic Senators Alex Padilla and Dick Durbin have demanded explanations from President Donald Trump’s administration regarding its plans to deport dozens of unaccompanied Guatemalan children in U.S. custody, without allowing them the chance to defend their immigration cases.
The lawmakers said on Wednesday that they have requested oversight hearings in the Senate to compel the White House to respond about the planned deportations, which were initially scheduled for August 31 but remain on hold due to a court order.
According to lawyers representing ten children aged 10 to 16 who filed a lawsuit, the administration violated due process by ignoring ongoing immigration cases and disregarding the special protections granted to minors who crossed the border from Mexico alone.
Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), unaccompanied immigrant children in the U.S. generally have the opportunity to appear before an immigration judge before being deported.
Padilla and Durbin’s demand comes after a report by the Government Accountability Project (GAP) alleged that the Trump administration misrepresented the safety of unaccompanied Guatemalan children under its care in order to justify removing them from the country.
The report revealed that at least 30 of the 327 Guatemalan children the administration attempted to deport “show signs” of having been victims of abuse, including death threats, gang violence, human trafficking, or expressed fear of returning to Guatemala.
However, Angie Salazar, director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which maintains custody of the children, testified in court under penalty of perjury that these children showed no evidence of abuse or neglect by a parent or guardian.

Trump criticizes Putin, calls Ukraine war “one of the deadliest conflicts”
U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his disappointment on Thursday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that the war in Ukraine would have been easier to resolve due to the personal relationship they share, but has instead become one of the deadliest conflicts.
During a press conference following a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the official Chequers residence, Trump said he has successfully negotiated the end of seven armed conflicts, though he admitted that the war in Ukraine has been particularly challenging.
The president noted that he initially thought the Russia-Ukraine conflict would be “one of the easiest” to negotiate. However, he cautioned that “you never know in war” and often things “happen in the opposite way than expected.”
When asked why he was disappointed, Trump stated that Putin “is killing a lot of people,” adding that “Russian soldiers are being killed in greater numbers than Ukrainians.”
Prime Minister Starmer emphasized that the United Kingdom continues to work alongside the United States to halt “the killing in Ukraine.” He noted that in recent days, Putin has revealed his true intentions by ordering the most devastating attack since the invasion began in 2022, resulting in more civilian casualties and new violations of NATO airspace.
“President Trump and I have discussed how we can strengthen our defenses, maintain support for Ukraine, and increase international pressure to force Putin to accept a lasting peace agreement,” Starmer said.
The joint statement came on the second day of President Trump’s state visit to the United Kingdom, from the Chequers country residence in Aylesbury, about 60 kilometers from London.
