Israel, Hamas Begin Indirect Gaza Ceasefire Talks in Egypt

Indirect talks between Israel and Hamas have begun in Egypt, with mediators shuttling between the two delegations in an effort to end the nearly two-year war in Gaza. The negotiations come as US President Donald Trump urges all parties to "move fast." The Hamas delegation is led by Khalil al-Hayya, who survived an Israeli assassination attempt in Qatar last month. A Palestinian source close to the talks warned that the negotiations are expected to be "difficult and complex." The talks commenced on the eve of the second anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attack that sparked the conflict. While diplomacy continues, Israeli attacks on Gaza have persisted, with at least 10 Palestinians reported killed since dawn. The overall death toll in Gaza since October 2023 has reached at least 67,160, according to local health authorities.

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 […]

 Israel, Hamas Set for Ceasefire Talks in Egypt Amid US Push

Delegations from Israel, Hamas, and the United States are set to begin ceasefire talks in Egypt on Monday, with President Donald Trump urging all sides to "move fast." The negotiations will focus on a temporary truce and the first phase of a US-backed peace plan. This initial stage involves the release of 47 hostages held by Hamas in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. Ahead of the talks, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Israel would have to stop its bombing campaign for a hostage release to be possible. President Trump expressed optimism, praising "positive discussions" and indicating the first phase could be completed within the week. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hopes for a quick resolution, his military chief warned that if talks fail, the military will "return to fighting." The conflict, now […]

Israel Intercepts Final Gaza Aid Flotilla Boat, Say Organizers

Organizers of the "Global Sumud" aid flotilla to Gaza say the Israeli navy has intercepted the last of its boats. The final vessel, named Marinette, was stopped on Friday approximately 42 nautical miles from the Gaza coast. This marks the interception of all 42 vessels in the flotilla, which carried activists, politicians, and humanitarian supplies in an attempt to break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza. The Israeli government stated it had detained over 470 participants, with deportation processes underway for many. The flotilla's interception sparked protests worldwide, including a general strike in Italy. Among those detained were more than 20 journalists, prompting condemnation from media watchdog Reporters Without Borders. Israel maintains the blockade is a necessary security measure and praised its navy for preventing the flotilla from reaching a "war zone." The incident highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, […]

Trump: I won’t allow Israel to annex West Bank

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he would not permit Israel to annex the West Bank, pushing back against threats from Israeli cabinet members to block the possibility of a two-state solution. “I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “No, I will not allow it. It’s not going to happen.” The president’s remarks followed questions on whether he had given such assurances to Arab leaders during meetings at the United Nations this week. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly opposed the creation of a Palestinian state, while far-right members of his cabinet have suggested annexing the West Bank in response to recent moves by Western nations to formally recognize Palestine. When asked if he had warned Netanyahu directly, Trump replied:“Yeah, but I’m not going to allow it. […]

Israel Rejects Hamas Proposal for Gaza Hostage Deal and Ceasefire

Israel has dismissed a new statement from Hamas claiming the group is ready for a “comprehensive deal” to end the Gaza war and release all hostages. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the announcement contained “nothing new” and reiterated that the war would only end if the remaining 48 hostages were freed, Hamas was disarmed, Gaza was fully demilitarized, Israel secured control, and a new civilian administration was put in place. Hamas, meanwhile, repeated its demand for a large-scale exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, the reopening of border crossings, and the launch of reconstruction. It also said it supports the creation of a technocratic administration to govern Gaza after the war. The statement came hours after US President Donald Trump posted on social media urging Hamas to “IMMEDIATELY give back all 20 hostages” still […]

Hamas Rejects Trump’s Proposal for US Control of Gaza

Hamas has strongly rejected a reported plan by US President Donald Trump for the United States to assume control of Gaza and relocate its population. The Washington Post revealed on Sunday that the White House was reviewing a 38-page proposal that would place Gaza under US trusteeship for at least 10 years. The plan envisions transforming the war-torn territory into a tourism hub and technology center, with new “AI-powered smart cities” built in place of destroyed neighborhoods. Trump previously suggested in February that Gaza could be turned into “the Riviera of the Middle East” once its Palestinian residents were moved out. The idea sparked swift outrage across the Arab world. Palestinians compared it to the Nakba of 1948, when hundreds of thousands were displaced during the creation of Israel. A Hamas official, speaking anonymously, told AFP the group “rejects all […]

Iran’s Regional Influence Weakens Amid Setbacks

Over the past two years, Iran’s network of allies across the Middle East has endured significant setbacks. In Syria, the regime of President Bashar al-Assad has collapsed. In Lebanon, Hezbollah was forced to lay down its arms under a United States-brokered ceasefire and now faces mounting pressure to fully disarm. In Yemen, the Houthis were compelled to halt disruptions of maritime traffic through the Red Sea following heavy US bombardments that targeted infrastructure and civilian areas. Adding to the string of losses, an Israeli airstrike on Thursday killed Yemen’s prime minister, Ahmed al-Rahawi, alongside several ministers. These developments have dramatically diminished what was once seen as Iran’s formidable deterrence in the region. Observers warn that Tehran’s influence may shrink further as its position in Iraq grows increasingly precarious. The Iraqi government is under pressure from Washington to curb the power […]
