On today's podcast:
1) Israel said it had resumed a truce with Hamas in Gaza after heavy fighting over the weekend, with the sides accusing each other of breaching a deal brokered by President Trump. Around 9:30 p.m. Israel time on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces said it had “begun renewed enforcement of the ceasefire” and warned it would “respond firmly to any violation.” Israel launched strikes against Hamas in Gaza and suspended aid shipments on Sunday after blaming the Iran-backed militant group for an ambush that killed two soldiers in the southern part of the strip. The IDF said it responded by hitting weapons-storage facilities and other sites. It also said it dismantled several kilometers of underground tunnels.
2) President Trump listed rare earths, fentanyl and soybeans as the US’s top issues with China just before the two sides return to the negotiating table and as a fragile trade truce nears expiration. Trump also said the US wanted China “to stop with the fentanyl,” a reference to his accusation that Beijing has failed to curb exports of the drug and its precursor chemicals, contributing to the American opioid crisis. Another key demand was for the world’s No. 2 economy to resume soybean purchases. The three topics were all “very, you know, normal things,” he added.
3) Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party will sign a coalition deal with the Japan Innovation Party later Monday, according to the smaller party’s leader, a move that would set up Sanae Takaichi to become the country’s first female prime minister. The LDP and the JIP, also known as Ishin, have broadly reached an agreement and will announce the deal at 6 p.m., Hirofumi Yoshimura, Ishin’s co-leader told reporters, after speaking with Takaichi earlier in the day.

Stay with us more from Bloomberg day Break coming up
after this.

Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM,
and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the
Bloomberg Business Appum. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Good morning. It is coming up to five thirteen of
Wall Street hum John Tucker, along with Karen Moscow, Israel
launching strikes against Thomas and Gaza and suspended aid shipments
yesterday after blaming the Midleton group for an ambush that
killed two soldiers in the southern part of the Strip.
Let's get the very latest right now. Ethan Bronner is
the Bloomberg senior editor and he's joining us from Tel
(10:09):
Aviv this morning. Ethan, thanks so much for being with us.
Is the Seaspire intact at this point?
Speaker 5 (10:16):
It is intact, but of course it's been a shaky
ceasefire from the first moment, and it gets shake here
every day. Yesterday's exchanges were pretty rough. There were a
bunch of attacks by Hamas guys on various Israeli troops
and an APC and so forth, and then the Israelis
did dozens of assorties to fight back and send a message,
(10:40):
and a bunch of people died. So it was pretty rough.
But they said they're both said they're trying to respect it,
and we do have two American officials who've just landed
who are going to try to keep it going.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Is the Hamas leadership speaking for everyone within Hamas or
their splinter groups who disagree with a past fire or
the terms that they're trying to impose.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
That's a great question, and we don't really know the answer.
The Hamas military leadership said that it knew nothing about
the attacks. I will point out that for two years
before the October seventh attack by Hamas, it leadership repeatedly
said it wanted only peace and had no interest in
military action, and then carried out the most brutal attack
(11:24):
on is relevance history. So that doesn't mean that they
always don't tell the truth, but I would take with
a grain of salt. But they say, on the other hand,
President Trump said, Hey, could be you know, things are
kind of difficult down there. Maybe the leadership wasn't aware
of what was going on. It's possible.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I mean, if there is a split within the organization
between the leadership and certain factions, how do you achieve
anything in terms of peace.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
No, that's exactly right. I mean we're dealing with a
very very complicated situation in which it's not at all
clear that even the leadership has laid out what it
wants in a way that the other side can accept.
Both sides have kind of accepted this idea of an
exchange of hostages for prisoners and that the rest will
(12:12):
then be negotiated. And that's where we stand with, you know,
totally opposite goals. The Israelis want Humas out of power.
Hummas wants to stay in power and wants Israel out
of Gaza. So it's a tough, tough not to crack.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, you mentioned the hostages. Well, at this point the
hostage bodies, have they all been returned? What's the status there?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
No, about a dozen have been returned, at about sixteen remain.
And this is another good example of what to believe. Right,
So Israel says that Hamas knows we're almost all of
them are maybe not all sixteen, but another ten or twelve,
and they could easily return them. Hamasa, And my god,
are you kidding me? This place that's been turned upside
down by all those bombings. We have lost track of them,
(12:58):
and we need time, and we need equipment, and I
don't know who's telling the truth.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
And where do things stand with Aid getting into a GUSA.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
So it slowed down. I mean, Israel didn't officially stop it,
but then it's sort of acknowledged that because of the
battling yesterday, it wasn't safe to do it, and now
it says it's back up. You know, some days ago
before this began, there were six or eight hundred trucks
coming in, which is a lot more than the three
(13:27):
hundred from before, but not quite as much as the
UN says is needed. Of about a thousand, I don't
know how many hundreds are coming in today, but the
claim is that they're back on track. So eight is
theoretically starting to go back in.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yes, where do we stand with the peace plan and
what has been agreed to? And we got like thirty seconds.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Okay, well, we've agreed to nothing other than the exchange
that's occurred. There is this twenty point plan that the
Israelis have been enthusiastic about. That Hamasa said, yes, but
two and I'd say about fifteen of those points are
still to be worked out.

of what was going on. It's possible.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I mean, if there is a split within the organization
between the leadership and certain factions, how do you achieve
anything in terms of peace.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
No, that's exactly right. I mean we're dealing with a
very very complicated situation in which it's not at all
clear that even the leadership has laid out what it
wants in a way that the other side can accept.
Both sides have kind of accepted this idea of an
exchange of hostages for prisoners and that the rest will
(12:12):
then be negotiated. And that's where we stand with, you know,
totally opposite goals. The Israelis want Humas out of power.
Hummas wants to stay in power and wants Israel out
of Gaza. So it's a tough, tough not to crack.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, you mentioned the hostages. Well, at this point the
hostage bodies, have they all been returned? What's the status there?
Speaker 5 (12:35):
No, about a dozen have been returned, at about sixteen remain.
And this is another good example of what to believe. Right,
So Israel says that Hamas knows we're almost all of
them are maybe not all sixteen, but another ten or twelve,
and they could easily return them. Hamasa, And my god,
are you kidding me? This place that's been turned upside
down by all those bombings. We have lost track of them,
(12:58):
and we need time, and we need equipment, and I
don't know who's telling the truth.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
And where do things stand with Aid getting into a GUSA.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
So it slowed down. I mean, Israel didn't officially stop it,
but then it's sort of acknowledged that because of the
battling yesterday, it wasn't safe to do it, and now
it says it's back up. You know, some days ago
before this began, there were six or eight hundred trucks
coming in, which is a lot more than the three
(13:27):
hundred from before, but not quite as much as the
UN says is needed. Of about a thousand, I don't
know how many hundreds are coming in today, but the
claim is that they're back on track. So eight is
theoretically starting to go back in.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yes, where do we stand with the peace plan and
what has been agreed to? And we got like thirty seconds.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Okay, well, we've agreed to nothing other than the exchange
that's occurred. There is this twenty point plan that the
Israelis have been enthusiastic about. That Hamasa said, yes, but
two and I'd say about fifteen of those points are
still to be worked out.
