Musk confirms: Trump will hold a "square meeting" at X
Elon Musk confirms plans to broadcast a digital "square meeting" with Donald Trump on X.
"This is going to be interesting," writes the tech billionaire himself on the platform.
It is already clear that independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr will attend a similar rally on the platform. According to Axios, which was the first to report on the then-unconfirmed plans, the Biden campaign has so far not accepted a corresponding invitation.

Expert: The cease-fire talk will put pressure on Hamas
The US is trying to put pressure on Hamas. That's what Jonathan Panikoff, a Middle East expert at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington, told the Wall Street Journal after President Joe Biden said in a speech that Israel had presented a new proposal for a ceasefire.
- If Hamas rejects the proposal, the Biden administration will use it to claim that it has done everything it can to reach a ceasefire, and that Hamas is responsible for the continued violence.
According to Haaretz, the Israeli proposal includes the release of hostages and military withdrawal in several stages.

Analysis: No proposal seems to be able to resolve the conflict
Joe Biden's sharp call to both sides of the conflict in Gaza to accept a new proposal for a ceasefire has once again raised the question of what Netanyahu's ultimate goal really is, writes Amos Harel in Haaretz.
He points out that an end to the war would mean both that the suspended prosecutions against the prime minister could be resumed, and that new elections could be held. These are elections that the current government would lose in today's state of opinion.
"So far, no proposal seems to be able to get around the main problem: Hamas's uncompromising demand that an agreement lead to an end to the war, and Netanyahu's steadfast refusal to allow it," writes Harel.
For the BBC, North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher makes an equally bleak analysis of the prospects for peace – for Biden, today's outing may be, at least in part, about stealing attention from Trump.
"Biden's statement could be seen as a way for the president to elbow his way back into the news — and do so in a way that contrasts with Trump, by portraying himself as a statesman trying to make peace."

Hamas "looks positively" at the new proposal for a cease-fire
Hamas states that it "views positively" the Israeli peace proposal presented by Joe Biden earlier today. Reuters reports.
In a statement released shortly after Biden's speech earlier this evening, Benjamin Netanyahu claims that the proposal on the table also means that Hamas' military and political capabilities will be "eliminated."
"The war will not end until all our goals are achieved," Netanyahu's administration wrote in the statement.
