The brief
Israel has rejected the Trump administration’s 15-point Gaza peace plan, insisting Hamas disarm before any troop withdrawal while US officials continue promoting negotiations.
The dispute puts Donald Trump’s diplomatic ambitions against Benjamin Netanyahu’s political pressures, with the conditions for a ceasefire still unresolved.
Daniel Kinahan’s extradition from Dubai and court appearance in Ireland highlight the significance of a possible trial involving the alleged Kinahan organised crime group.
A state of emergency in British Columbia brings evacuations, destroyed homes and agricultural land, while Summerland Mayor Doug Holmes describes the uncertainty facing displaced residents.
The bulletin closes with a Roman shipwreck off Sicily, hundreds of intact amphorae, and questions over protecting the site, alongside reports on Banksy removals and Spider-Man’s success.
