As international mediators are proposing a six-to-eight weeks cease-fire, Hamas said Wednesday (Apr 10) that they do not have 40 hostages still alive who can meet the humanitarian criteria. This added another roadblock to the negotiations as it not only raised concerns about the derailing of a potential ceasefire but also on the number and condition of the hostages held by the militant group.

Notably, the hostage situation in Gaza took a concerning turn after a top Hamas official said that the&nbsp;militant group&nbsp;does not have 40 hostages 'in the humanitarian category that are still alive'.&nbsp;As per the figures from Israel, a total of 133 hostages, out of 240 that were initially kidnapped from Israel in the October 7 assault by Hamas, are still in captivity.

Out of these 133 hostages, as many as 36 have been confirmed dead, as per Israel.&nbsp;With this, the number of living hostages has been reduced to 97 which is now raising an urgent need for progress in the negotiations to secure their release.

Hamas has already communicated the latest update on 40 hostages proposal with the negotiators in Cairo.&nbsp;This assertion by Hamas was however made anonymously, media reports said.

The proposed exchange entailed the release of hostages including the elderly, women, those with illnesses, and five female Israeli soldiers. In return, Hamas is seeking the release of hundreds of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.&nbsp;

Now, there are fears that more hostages may be dead than previously believed. Talks between the two parties have stalled over various issues.&nbsp;

International mediators included representatives from Egypt, Qatar, and the United States. Reports also suggest that Hamas has reportedly informed the mediators that the number of hostages they claim to be alive is much lower than what was proposed.

This development has raised questions about the composition of the first group of hostages to be released and whether young men and soldiers will be included in the exchange.

Under the prisoner exchange deal in November last year which could only sustain seven days, about 81 of the released hostages were Israeli women and children. During that time, Hamas also left free 23 Thai nationals and one Filipino.

Earlier ceasefire efforts resulted in the release of Palestinian prisoners, including minors and individuals not convicted of crimes, as part of the negotiation process. A total of 107 out of&nbsp;240 released at the time were teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17 years. A total of 66 were 18-year-old boys, and one teenager was also released who had turned 19 in Israeli jail. Notably, about 75 percent of released Palestinians had not been convicted of any crime.

Former United States president Donald Trump on Wednesday (April 10) said that if he again gets elected to the White House, he will not sign a national abortion ban.&nbsp;

With the statement, Trump went back from his promise which he had made as a candidate in 2016.

While standing on a tarmac on Wednesday (April 10) in Atlanta, Trump gave some definitive answers on the issue. When asked if he would sign a national abortion ban once it is passed by Congress, the former president shook his head and said, “No.”

“You wouldn’t sign it?” quizzed the reporter. “No,” Trump said once again.&nbsp;

<h2>Arizona's 1864 abortion ban will be 'straightened out': Trump</h2>

Speaking about Arizona's top court upholding a near-total abortion ban, which goes back to 1864, Trump said that the state has gone too far.&nbsp;

However, while speaking to the reporters, he said that the ban will quickly be "straightened out". The law passed in Arizona has placed a ban on abortion from conception and it can only be carried out to save a mother's life.

On Monday (April 8), Trump released a lengthy statement which said that the voters and states need to decide how and when abortion should be restricted.

In the statement, which was shared on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump also took credit for the US Supreme Court's historic ruling in 2022 which overturned Roe v Wade.&nbsp;

In 2016, Trump had campaigned on the appointment of justices who will oppose Roe. After becoming the president, he named three conservatives to the court who voted to reverse Roe.

However, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee remained quiet over the national ban and said that it was "up to the states to do the right thing".

"My view is now that we have an abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land," Trump said.

He further expressed concerns regarding the Arizona ban and said that the governor would soon "bring it back into reason".

The top court of Arizona ruled that a 160-year-old near-total abortion ban can be re-enforced by the state.&nbsp;

United States President Joe Biden extended an 'ironclad' commitment to Israel against any Iranian attack amid rising concerns of Tehran launching "significant" strikes in the coming days in response to the blast at the Iranian consular building in Damascus.

Biden spoke about the commitment in a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.&nbsp;

“We also want to address the Iranian threat to launch a significant – they’re threatening to launch a significant attack in Israel,” said Biden.&nbsp;

“As I told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, our commitment to Israel’s security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad. Let me say it again, ironclad. We’re gonna do all we can to protect Israel’s security," he added.

“What I’m calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks, total access to all food and medicine going into the country,” said the president.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration also clarified that Iran cannot assume that the US forces, which have been significantly reinforced in Gaza since the war started, will stay out if there is any escalation in conflict between them and Israel.&nbsp;

US&nbsp;President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida touted increased joint military cooperation and a new missile defence system on Wednesday, strengthening their alliance with an eye on aggressive actions by China and Russia.

"This is the most significant upgrade in our alliance since it was first established," Biden said at a joint White House news conference with Kishida, after about two hours of talks that focused on the restive Indo-Pacific region, Ukraine and the Gaza conflict.

Kishida said the two leaders also discussed tense relations between Taiwan and China, and pledged to uphold international order based on the rule of law.

“Unilateral attempts to change status quo by force or coercion is absolutely unacceptable, wherever it may be,” Kishida said. The US&nbsp;and Japan will continue to respond to such actions, including challenges from China, he said.

“Regarding Russia’s aggression of Ukraine... Ukraine today may be East Asia tomorrow,” Kishida said.

The announcements from Biden and Kishida brought the two old World War II enemies into the closest collaboration they have had since they became allies decades ago.

Biden said their militaries will cooperate with a joint command structure and they will, together with Australia, develop a new air missile defence network. The two leaders also announced that Japanese astronauts will participate in NASA moon missions.

Japan, often described as the US's most important Asia ally and its largest source of foreign direct investment, is taking on a stepped-up global role after a series of security law changes in the past decade that have transformed its pacifist constitution.

Kishida will address the US&nbsp;Congress on Thursday and join Biden and Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr&nbsp;for a meeting expected to focus on Beijing's South China Sea incursions.

<h2>SOUTH CHINA SEA INCURSIONS</h2>

Overall, the US&nbsp;and Japan have hammered out about 70 agreements on defence cooperation, including moves to upgrade the US&nbsp;military command structure in Japan to make it better able to work with Japanese forces in a crisis.

The meeting comes as China steps up pressure on the Philippines in the South China Sea over area Beijing claims but international law says belongs to the Philippines.

China is attempting to isolate Japan and the Philippines, a US&nbsp;official said. By meeting the leaders of those two nations this week in Washington, Biden is aiming to "flip the script and isolate China."

Fitch cut its outlook on China's sovereign credit rating to negative on Wednesday, citing risks to public finances as the economy faces increasing uncertainty in its shift to new growth models.

On Thursday, Biden will hold a bilateral meeting with Marcos, whom he welcomed in Washington just last year before the two join Kishida for a trilateral summit.

The visit may give a political boost to Kishida, whose popularity has waned at home. He is being greeted with great fanfare, with Japanese flags on display throughout Washington.

The two leaders were to attend a lavish state dinner in the White House on Wednesday. Biden and his wife Jill took Kishida and his wife Yuko to a private dinner at a local restaurant on Tuesday night.

Overshadowing the visit is a controversy over the planned $15 billion acquisition of American steel maker US&nbsp;Steel by Japan's Nippon Steel, a deal some say is "on life support" after criticism by Biden and former President Donald Trump, his rival in November's US&nbsp;election.

Kishida, asked about the deal, said he hoped discussions about it would bear fruit.

"We wish to cement this win-win relationship," he said.

Biden said he stood by his commitment to union workers on the issue.

Also looming are Japanese concerns that if Trump wins a second term he might seek a deal with China that could destabilise the region.

The United States believes that an Iranian attack on Israel is imminent, and the only question is when exactly will it happen, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday (Apr 10). The report coincided with Tehran's warning as supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also said on Wednesday that Israel "must be punished and it shall be" for attacking the Iranian embassy compound in Syria.&nbsp;

Suspected Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital on April 1 in a strike that Iran said killed seven military advisers. It was seen as a major escalation.&nbsp;

"When they attack the consulate, it is as if they have attacked our soil. The evil regime made a mistake and must be punished and it shall be," Khamenei said in a speech marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.&nbsp;

The Bloomberg report cited people familiar with US and Israeli intelligence assessments, saying that Iran or its proxies could launch strikes.&nbsp;

The strike&nbsp;could involve high-precision missile&nbsp;and drone attacks&nbsp;at&nbsp;military and government sites in Israel with the source telling the media outlet that the strikes were a matter of when, not if.&nbsp;

In another report published by the Axios news site, Gen. Michael Kurilla, who is head of the US Central Command, was expected to visit Israel on Thursday. He will consult with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and other officials to discuss the Iranian threat.&nbsp;

While speaking about the direction and location from where the attack might come, the source said that US and Western intelligence have indicated an attack may not necessarily come from Israel's north, where Tehran's ally Hezbollah in Lebanon is located.&nbsp;

US President also weighed in as he said on Wednesday, "We also want to address the Iranian threat to launch a significant - they're threatening to launch a significant attack in Israel.

As per the report, Israel appears to have knowledge of such potential attack, with&nbsp;Foreign Minister of Israel Katz saying on Wednesday that his country will respond if Iran attacks from its own soil.&nbsp;

"If Iran attacks from its own territory, Israel will respond and attack in Iran," Katz said in a post on the social media platform X.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has expressed concerns over the likelihood of a potent coordinated assault in the United States that can be similar to the attack that claimed the lives of thousands at a Russian concert hall in March. The director of the FBI plans to inform a House of Representatives panel on the issue on Thursday (Apr 11).

“Looking back over my career in law enforcement, I’d be hard-pressed to think of a time where so many threats to our public safety and national security were so elevated all at once,” Christopher Wray is set to tell lawmakers during a budget hearing. “But that is the case as I sit here today.”

The targeted attack on a concert hall in Russia's Moscow on March 22, which claimed the lives of at least 144 people, is said to be the country's deadliest assault ever in nearly two decades.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has put the blame on Ukraine for the attack without citing evidence. However, a branch of the Islamic State terror group&nbsp;claimed the responsibility of the massacre.

United States officials are concerned about the risk of a potential attack by an individual or a small group influenced by the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Wray is expected to testify before the panel.

Of increasing concern "is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall a couple of weeks ago,” is what Wray is expected to tell a House of Representatives panel, according to news agency Reuters.

Wray also intends to push lawmakers to revive an American surveillance program, that is set to expire in April, dubbing it as an integral tool to combat US adversaries.&nbsp;

Members of both parties blocked a modest overhaul of the program in the House on Wednesday (Apr 10) stating concerns that it did not go far enough in limiting the government's surveillance powers.

“It’s critical in securing our nation, and we’re in crunch time,” Wray plans to tell lawmakers.
