U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Israel has agreed to terms for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, during which the U.S. and other parties would work toward an end to the war. Trump pushed Hamas to accept the deal.

“I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE,” Trump said.

The news comes as Trump prepares to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for talks at the White House on Monday. The U.S. president has shown increased interest in a ceasefire and hostage agreement in the region after the U.S. brokered a peace agreement between Israel and Iran.

What to know:

The Big Beautiful Bill Act clears the Senate: Senate Republicans hauled President Donald Trump’s big tax breaks and spending cuts bill to passage Tuesday on the narrowest of votes, pushing past opposition from Democrats and some in their own GOP ranks after a turbulent overnight session. Vice President JD Vance broke a 50-50 tie to push it over the top. The three Republicans opposing the bill were Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky.The bill still needs to go back to the House: The bill has to pass the House again before Trump can sign it into law, and the difficulty for Republicans is not expected to let up. Speaker Mike Johnson warned senators not to deviate too far from what his chamber had already approved. But the Senate did make changes, particularly to Medicaid, risking more problems as they race to finish by Trump’s Fourth of July deadline.Congressional Budget Office review: The nonpartisan CBO said Sunday the bill would pile nearly $3.3 trillion onto the nation’s debt load from 2025 to 2034, a nearly $1 trillion increase over the House-passed version of the bill. The analysis also found that 11.8 million Americans would become uninsured by 2034 if the bill passed.

Trump visited immigration detention facility in Florida: The isolated airstrip in the Everglades is surrounded by mosquitoes, alligators and pythons and can house 5,000 detainees. Dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by state officials, it’s another example of the administration’s scare tactics to persuade those in the country illegally to leave voluntarily. The White House suggests the facility will be especially secure, given that it is “surrounded by alligators,” and started selling branded shirts promoting the facility.
