Good Morning,

Paris Saint-Germain's historic Champions League victory sparked violent celebrations across France that resulted in two deaths and over 500 arrests, while diplomatic efforts in the Middle East hit new obstacles as Hamas rejected key elements of a US-backed Gaza ceasefire proposal. Meanwhile, Japan and South Korea launched a streamlined tourist entry system to boost travel, and concerns mount over environmental and security impacts from a major natural gas project off Senegal's coast. On the domestic front, President Trump faces potential resistance from six Senate Republicans who could complicate his legislative agenda, while a devastating fire at a Mexican drug rehabilitation center claimed 12 lives, highlighting ongoing security challenges in violence-plagued regions.
