The Ambassador of Palestine to Nigeria, Muhannad Hammouri, has declared that there is no alternative to the United States–brokered peace deal between Israel and Hamas, describing the initiative as the only viable path to end the two-year conflict in Gaza.

Qatar Says Israel Should Have Already Ceased Fire

Qatar has stated that Israel should have already implemented a ceasefire in Gaza, in line with the US-backed peace plan proposed by President Donald Trump. A spokesperson for Qatar's foreign ministry, Majed al-Ansari, said on Tuesday that the question of a ceasefire should be directed at Israel. He suggested that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's commitment to the Trump plan was genuine, a cessation of hostilities should have already happened. The comments come as Hamas and Israel engage in indirect talks in Egypt this week regarding the 20-point proposal. Last Friday, President Trump himself called for Israel to "immediately stop the bombing" to facilitate a safe hostage release. While cautious about the ongoing negotiations, the Qatari official confirmed that his country would continue to host Hamas's political bureau as long as it remains a necessary channel for communication and […]
