Ceasefire Talks Continue Amid Regional Tensions

The White House remains vigilant about potential Iranian attacks on Israel, with National Security Advisor John Kirby emphasizing the need for readiness despite no immediate strikes. Negotiations for an Israel-Hamas ceasefire continue in Cairo, although Hamas has not sent representatives. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court's prosecutor is pushing for urgent rulings on arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas officials. On the home front, antiwar activists at the Democratic National Convention sought to voice Palestinian perspectives but were denied speaking time, highlighting ongoing tensions within U.S. politics. Consumer boycotts against multinational companies perceived to support Israel have gained traction, giving rise to alternatives like Gaza Cola.
