Today we're talking about President Biden announcing Israel's new Gaza ceasefire proposal,

reactions to former President Trump's unprecedented conviction,

election results from around the world, and other top news for Monday, June 3rd.

Stay informed while remaining focus on Christ with the poor over today.

Here's the verse of the day.

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the stronghold of my life.

Of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27.

Let's get started with some espresso shots. A ceasefire deal for Gaza is back on the table.

On Friday, President Biden announced Israel's proposal

born from intensive diplomacy. The plan has three phases.

One, a six-week full and complete ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza's populated

areas, and the return of a number of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

Two, the return of remaining living hostages, full withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, and, as long as Hamas lives up to its commitments, cessation of hostilities permanently, and 3. a major reconstruction plan for Gaza, backed by the U.S. and

international community, and deceased hostages returned to their families.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's office reiterated the importance of following the exact outline proposed.

Hamas said it viewed the plan positively while calling for explicit commitments from Israel.

Here's a verse to consider when hearing of negotiations between world leaders. First of all, then I urge you that petitions,

prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone. For kings and all

those who are in authority so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
