US: Supreme Court's 'absolute immunity' for Trump sets 'dangerous precedent', warns Biden

The United States has put forward new wording in an effort to close the gap&nbsp;in discussions between Israel and Hamas regarding a ceasefire and a hostage agreement in Gaza, media reports said citing a US official.&nbsp;

The updated language is to resolve a current disagreement arising from Hamas insisting that discussions in the second phase should solely revolve around the release of Palestinian prisoners, while Israel wants to address demilitarisation of Gaza and other matters during these negotiations.

Times of Israel reported that as per partial leaks of the Israeli proposal earlier this month, Clause 8 read, “No later than day 16 [of phase one], the commencement of indirect negotiations between the two sides to agree on the conditions for implementing stage two of this agreement, including those relating to the keys for the exchange of hostages and prisoners (soldiers and remaining men), and this should be concluded and agreed upon before the end of week five of this [first] stage."&nbsp;

The US proposal, endorsed by Israel, seeks to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of all remaining hostages held by Hamas. It is divided into three phases, with the initial phase involving a six-week cessation of hostilities in Gaza, during which Hamas would release the remaining female, elderly, and sick hostages. Simultaneously, discussions will be held to secure a subsequent six-week truce, during which Hamas would release the remaining hostages, including young men and male soldiers.

The US is urging Egypt and Qatar to pressure Hamas into accepting the revised wording, as one of the sources mentioned by media reports that if Hamas agrees to the new language, it could lead to finalising the deal.

<h2>'Nothing new'</h2>

However, a senior Palestinian Hamas official stated that there is "nothing new" and "no real progress" in the negotiations, as per AFP news agency.&nbsp;

The fate of the deal came into question following conflicting statements by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who initially expressed willingness to strike "a partial deal" with Hamas to secure the return of some hostages from Gaza, diverging from the proposal. However, after facing criticism from hostage families and Israeli politicians, he retracted his statements and reaffirmed commitment to the ceasefire proposal endorsed by US President Biden.

Russia in a sarcastic jibe reacting to the US presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump said that Vladimir Putin did not set an alarm or get up in the middle of his sleep to watch the altercation.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia will not comment on internal US politics and that it had more important things to focus on.

Putin has alleged disinterestedness in the outcome of the US presidential election scheduled to be held in the month of November.

"Well, look, I don’t think you expect the president of Russia might set an alarm clock, wake up before morning and watch the debates in the United States of America?" Peskov told reporters when asked if Putin had tuned in.

"We have a lot of issues that are really important for our country, which are relevant for us. These are the issues that our president is dealing with. Debates in the United States are not part of the main issues on the agenda."

<h2>US presidential debate</h2>

US President Joe Biden clashed with his Republican White House predecessor Donald Trump in the first presidential debate ahead of the November presidential elections. Biden repeatedly struggled to finish his allotted time and had to be reminded by the moderators that he had time to speak.

Trump accused Biden of getting funded by China and called him a "Manchurian candidate" in his ruthless attack during the debate held on Thursday (June 27) at CNN's headquarters in Atlanta.

During the debate, Trump said, “We now have the largest deficit in the history of our country. We have the largest deficit with China. He gets paid by China. He’s a Manchurian candidate. He gets money from China."

“China is going to own us if you keep allowing them to do what they’re doing to us as a country. They are killing us as a country, Joe, and you can’t let that happen. You’re destroying our country,” Trump said to Biden.

He called the military policies of Biden “insane", claiming that leaders like Russia’s Vladimir Putin, China’s Xi Jinping and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un do not fear or respect Biden. “They have nothing going with this gentleman and he’s going to drive us into World War III,” said Trump.

A flash poll by CNN following the altercation showed Trump leading against Biden with 67 per cent of debate watchers in Trump's favour. Only 33 per cent believed that Biden won the debate.&nbsp;
