On July 25, 2025, President Donald Trump took decisive actions on both international and domestic fronts. In the Middle East, he addressed the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, stating that Hamas was unwilling to agree to a ceasefire or release hostages in Gaza. This remark came a day after the U.S. administration decided to recall its negotiating team for consultations, following Hamas's unsatisfactory proposal. Trump's statement underscored the administration's frustration with Hamas's lack of cooperation and signaled a potential shift in U.S. strategy in the region. reuters.com
Domestically, President Trump signed a controversial executive order aimed at addressing homelessness. The order directed federal agencies to find ways to make it easier to forcibly hospitalize homeless individuals with mental illness and addiction for longer periods. This move drew criticism from various advocacy groups, who argued that it could lead to the involuntary institutionalization of vulnerable populations. The administration's decision highlighted the ongoing debate over the best approaches to tackling homelessness and mental health issues in the United States. justsecurity.org
