Israel Blocks Trump Peace Board Gaza Outpost; President Rallies GOP Support

Israel has reportedly blocked a US-led project to construct a military outpost in Gaza intended to house 150 international troops. The outpost was to be the first construction contract issued by the Board of Peace, an international organization chaired by President Trump and authorized by the UN in 2025. This development comes as President Trump actively campaigns for Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections, with significant Super PAC funding flowing into key Senate races.

Meanwhile, a federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction preventing the Trump administration from barring access to the White House for CNN, MS Now, and Politico. This ruling came after the president had criticized a previous temporary pause on the media ban. The administration also announced a 3.6% cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security recipients in 2027, and President Trump indicated plans for "massive" oil, gas, and mineral exploration in Greenland.
