Trump predicts ‘conclusive ending’ to Gaza war within three weeks
As the world grows outraged over the horrific atrocities committed by Israelis in the besieged and bombarded Palestinian enclave, American President Donald Trump has suggested that Israel’s war on Gaza should end.
Trump stated to reporters on Monday, “I believe you’re going to have a pretty good, conclusive ending within the next two to three weeks.”
The US president has previously used his signature bombast to call for an end to the war, but his statements have not led to a ceasefire or the distribution of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians who are enduring an oppressive Israeli blockade.
Israel has been given billions of dollars in weapons by the Trump administration, which rejects international efforts to recognize a Palestinian state.
“People are] being killed,” Trump said, “because between the hunger and all of the other problems, worse than hunger, death, pure death, people are being killed.”
Trump made the suggestion in February to remove all Palestinians from Gaza, which would be considered ethnic cleansing and a crime against humanity.
The US president appeared to be unaware of the Israeli attack, which left five journalists dead at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, earlier on Monday.
He responded, “Well, I’m not happy about it,” when asked about commenting on the incident. It’s not what I want to see. We must also put an end to that entire nightmare.
‘Big Error,’ Olawepo-Hashim Faults Zoning Of PDP’s 2027 Presidential Ticket To South
Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, the party’s chief executive, claims that the PDP’s National Executive Committee (NEC) made a “big error” by approving the zoning decision.
“I’m not saying that they didn’t do it by majority,” I say. By a majority, they succeeded. It was surprisingly democratic. The party’s organs were chosen in total. However, he claimed, “it made a significant error.”
He warned that it constituted an endorsement of Bola Tinubu’s reelection campaign.
Former presidential candidate Olawepo-Hashim issued the warning on Monday, shortly after the party’s meeting in Abuja’s National Executive Committee (NEC).
He called the action “unprecedented” in the party’s history.
Bola Tinubu’s return is the default campaign’s goal, according to Bola Tinubu. Because those who are launching this zoning campaign are the same people who are saying, “We are in PDP, but we work for President Tinubu,” he said on Monday on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
PDP Zones 2027 Presidential Slot to the South: claims North retains party leadership?
Olawepo-Hashim claims that the decision effectively reduces the PDP’s chances of developing a viable presidential candidate.
He noted that the party has never forbid any region from running for president, citing recent conventions as examples.
“These people don’t want the PDP to have a viable candidate in their hands,” the party’s default campaign. This is a subdued campaign to support Bola Tinubu’s re-election.
“The PDP has never previously zoned the presidency.” Alhaji Rimi from northern Nigeria and some other candidates, including Alex Ekwueme, were in a fight in 1999, against former president Olusegun Obasanjo, who was then General Obasanjo.
President Obasanjo had to compete with Alhaji Rimi from Kano and Chief Barnabas Gemade from Benue in the presidential election of 2003. He claimed that the party never “closed the door” to any particular zone.
Olawepo-Hashim further reacted by warning that the zoning decision could lead to a constitutional crisis by claiming that it violated constitutional rights.
‘Nervous’ Norrie through after Korda retirement
US Open 2025
Dates: August 24 through September 7 in Flushing Meadows, New York
Sebastian Korda’s injury forced him to retire, forcing a “nervous” Cameron Norrie to advance to the second round of the US Open.
Briton Norrie was concerned about the need to get moving and get going before taking on a team that had lost three of its previous meetings and was ranked inside the top 20 a year ago.
In the end, Korda, 25, chose to end the match early because Norrie was 7-5, 6-4 in the end.
Following a nearly three-month layoff for shin stress fractures, American Korda only briefly made it to the tour this week.
At the start of the second set against Norrie, he called a medical timeout because it appeared he had an abdominal problem.
Norrie was given the go-ahead by Korda, who had to face Argentine Francisco Comesana or American Alex Michelsen next.
Norrie, who injured his arm in the 2024 US Open and made his debut at Flushing Meadows in 2017, is still racking his nerves in New York.
Norrie remarked, “I was very anxious for the game.”
It’s difficult to compete in a Grand Slam match at 11 a.m. and try to finish at 10 a.m.
Norrie expressed sympathy for Sebastian at Korda’s retirement. He hasn’t played in a while, he’s had a great summer, and he’s been playing against me once.

‘An amazing journey’ – twice Wimbledon champion Kvitova retires with US Open loss
US Open 2025
Dates: August 24 through September 7 in Flushing Meadows, New York
Petra Kvitova, a two-time Wimbledon champion, bid a fitting final farewell to the sport with a US Open first-round defeat.
On Monday, the 35-year-old lost to France’s Diane Parry 6-1, 6-0, at the sparsely populated Grandstand Stadium.
Czech Kvitova announced in June that she would retire from New York after 18 years.
Kvitova won the All England Club titles in 2011 and 2014, won 31 WTA Tour titles, and placed second overall in the world rankings for the first time in her career.
Kvitova said on court afterwards, “I wanted to put out a better performance, but it was difficult because maybe it was my last one. I’m] emotional.”
Kvitova’s massive groundstrokes and explosive left-handed serve have made her a favorite for many years.
After being stabbed in the left hand by an intruder at her home in 2016, there was concern that her career would end prematurely.
She returned to playing in June 2017 after suffering tendons and nerve damage, and she won the Australian Open championship two years later.
She has recently slipped down the rankings, and she just reached the Grand Slam quarter-finals in 2020.
Kvitova missed her son Petr’s entire 2024 season, and she only made it back to action in February.
She only won one of her five matches since becoming a mother, defeating Irina-Camelia Begu on clay in Rome in May, in which she won five other competitions.
Kvitova bid a tearful farewell to Wimbledon, which she affectionately called her “special place,” and set the stage for a successful career there, where she twice advanced to the quarter-finals.
She rallied to 40-0 on serve before saving a break point to get her first game on the board after quickly falling short of a break against 107 Parry.
In a one-sided first set, Parry completed in just 25 minutes, that proved to be her only success.
Kvitova left the court in the middle of sets to regroup, but the second set followed a similar pattern, with Kvitova clearly upset that this would be her last match.
Kvitova suffered a second-set bagel as Parry won comfortably after coming in just four points behind her own serve.
I felt it as I woke up this morning. Kvitova continued, “I thought it would be unfavorable.”
“I was unable to eat. I had a lot of anxiety. I was unable to move, swing, or do anything.
