Israel Cites Security Concerns in Hamas Deal; WestJet Strike Halts Flights; Europe Battles Wildfires
Anonymous
Multiple major stories are breaking at once this morning. Israel has raised sharp security objections to Hamas's proposed disarmament plan, a shooting at an Idaho fast food restaurant left 3 dead and 7 injured, and WestJet flight attendants walked off the job — canceling more than 300 flights. AP News is tracking all of it.
Meanwhile, wildfires are spreading across Greece and France, and a new poll shows Americans still give President Trump strong marks on immigration — even as his handling of Iran draws criticism.
Israel Rejects Hamas Disarmament Deal Over Security Fears
Hamas recently announced it would disarm as part of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal. The plan also includes a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the arrival of international forces. But Israel is pushing back hard, according to AP News. Israeli officials say Hamas is focused on rebuilding its military — not giving it up.
Israel continues to strike targets inside Gaza while negotiations drag on. Officials say they will not accept any deal that leaves Hamas with the ability to rearm. The core dispute is simple: Israel wants full demilitarization. Hamas has not agreed to that.
Idaho Fast Food Shooting Kills 3, Wounds 7
A shooting at a fast food restaurant in Idaho left 3 people dead and 7 others injured, according to Goshen News. A city spokesman confirmed the toll. The location and suspect details were not immediately released. Authorities are investigating the motive.
The shooting adds to a string of high-profile gun violence incidents in public spaces. Local officials have not yet held a full press briefing, according to Herald Bulletin. More details are expected as the investigation moves forward.
WestJet Strike Grounds Over 300 Flights
WestJet flight attendants went on strike over a pay dispute, canceling more than 300 flights. Thousands of passengers were stranded or scrambling to rebook. The walkout marks a major escalation in a contract standoff that has been building for months, according to AP News.
WestJet is one of Canada's largest airlines. No deal has been reached, and no new talks were immediately scheduled. Travelers are urged to check their flight status before heading to the airport.
Trump Scores on Immigration, Stumbles on Iran in New Poll
A new AP-NORC poll shows immigration is still a political win for President Trump. Americans give him strong marks for his crackdown at the border. But his handling of Iran is drawing more skepticism, even among some supporters, according to AP News.
The poll comes as wildfires rage in Greece and France, adding pressure to an already turbulent global news cycle. European leaders are mobilizing resources to fight the blazes. No casualty numbers were immediately confirmed in the latest reports.
