As President Donald Trump works to secure a deal to end the U.S. war against Iran — one that he claimed was imminent just days ago — a top official for a major U.S. ally broke ranks Monday and urged his own nation’s leader to “call Trump” directly by phone and “pound the table.”

That official is Israel Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, who demanded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu call Trump to inform him that Israel was “not willing to accept” the terms Iran has proposed as conditions to end the war — namely, that Israel halt its bombardment of Lebanon.

Texas Republicans headed to the polls Tuesday in a make-or-break Senate runoff — and for at least one voter, President Donald Trump's endorsement didn't seal the deal. It backfired.

CNN caught up with two Republican voters outside a Plano polling location on Election Day, and their reactions to Trump's last-minute backing of Attorney General Ken Paxton told two very different stories about the state of the GOP.

Donald Trump's push to create a $1.8 billion fund to compensate allies claiming victimization by a "weaponized" Biden-era Department of Justice has triggered an unprecedented GOP revolt, with Republican lawmakers openly challenging the president by running to mainstream media outlets to amplify their criticisms.

According to Fox News media analyst Howie Kurtz, the moment represents a fundamental breaking point in Trump's control over the Republican Party. "Donald Trump did something beyond the pale and the brave Republicans are standing up to him. If you don't recall this happening before in Trump's second term, that's because it hasn't," Kurtz wrote in his Fox News column.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is once again going viral for an animal encounter — this time getting bitten repeatedly by snakes at the home of his subordinate, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, as his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, pleaded with him to stop.

Kennedy posted the video to his X account Monday morning with a casual caption: "Cheryl cheerleads the removal of a pair of Black Racers from Dr. Oz's patio."

The number of goals Donald Trump set out on Feb. 28 when he launched the unprovoked attack on Iran was held up to the light by MS NOW’s David Rohde on Tuesday morning, who made clear the president's war so far has been a failure.

Well beyond the Strait of Hormuz stalemate that has the Trump administration grasping for an answer, Rohde singled out five claims that the president made when he announced the attack, with only one coming to fruition -- and even that appears doubtful after this weekend's events.

President Donald Trump's approval ratings on the most pressing issues are sinking underwater with Republican voters, according to a new data analysis.

The 79-year-old president was re-elected in 2024 largely due to his promise to bring down the cost of living, but affordability remains the top voter concern as gas prices have exploded as a result of Trump's war against Iran, and CNN's Harry Enten found that even Republicans are unhappy.

Middle Eastern nations that were on the receiving end of a threat from Donald Trump over the holiday weekend called his bluff because he no longer carries the weight he thinks he does.

That was the claim made by MS NOW host Joe Scarborough and Washington Post columnist David Ignatius on Monday morning after the affected nations balked.

A physician expressed serious concerns about President Donald Trump's physical and mental health ahead of his third medical checkup in in 13 months.

Trump, the oldest president to ever be inaugurated, turns 80 next month, and Dr. Jonathan Reiner told "CNN News Central" that he has grave concerns about some specific medical issues that have slipped into public view as the president goes to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a scheduled medical and dental checkup.
