Trump presses Netanyahu to advance Gaza peace plan: US media

U.S. President Donald Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a recent phone call to implement the Gaza peace plan after Israel's parliamentary election, said Axios, quoting sources with knowledge of the matter, on Sunday.

According to U.S. news outlets, a roadmap, which calls for disarming Hamas and demilitarizing Gaza, has been delayed for months because of the Israeli elections.

The call was reportedly initiated by Netanyahu and also involved U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff. The two sides discussed the conflict involving Iran as well.

A U.S. official said despite the challenges in implementing the peace plan for Gaza, the American side believes the roadmap aligns with Israel's interests and hopes for full cooperation from the Israeli government to advance its implementation.

China's Hongying (Red Eagle) Aerobatic Team thrilled spectators with aerial stunts at an aviation-themed park in Changchun City, northeast China's Jilin Province, on Monday to celebrate the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force.

Eight JL-8 jet trainers flew over Changchun Blue Sky Park in three formations, their red, yellow and blue smoke trails streaking across the sky as a tribute to the pioneers. The JL-8 is currently China's main trainer aircraft for fighter pilots.

Changchun is a cradle of China's aviation talent, and the Aviation University of the Air Force is located in its city center. The university traces its roots to the Northeast Democratic United Army Aviation School, the first aviation school established by the Communist Party of China in 1946.
