Only a few years ago, Turkey was considered 'worse than Iran.' Now, alongside former foes Qatar and Egypt, it will be a key player in the establishment of an interim government in Gaza, the management of the Strip's reconstruction budget and the disarmament of Hamas
It is unclear who will lead the International Stabilization Force in Gaza, how long it will take to establish or how the U.S. will prevent Hamas from taking over the evacuated areas. The bodies of hostages that have yet to be returned could become a twilight zone that Netanyahu thrives on
Donald Trump a afirmat miercuri că va lua în considerare acordarea către prim-ministrului israelian, Benjamin Netanyahu, a permisiunii de a relua acțiunile militare în Gaza dacă Hamas refuză să respecte acordul de încetare a focului.
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa said Thursday that his government, in partnership with Arab and international experts, has developed a three-phase recovery and reconstruction plan for Gaza, estimated to cost $67 billion and span five years.
Three emotional days have passed for the Cohen family since their son, Nimrod, was freed from Hamas captivity on Monday. In an interview with Haaretz, his brother Yotam said that the struggle isn't over yet, as 19 deceased hostages remain in Gaza
At Israel's state memorial for soldiers killed during the Gaza war, Netanyahu said that 'the struggle is not yet over.' President Isaac Herzog said in his speech that Israel must 'create a vision for the future, for the "day after'' – both domestically and internationally'
With a cease-fire in Gaza, and a Supreme Court deadline, Netanyahu will look for ways to circumvent the the establishment of a commission of inquiry into the failures leading to October 7 – and any accountability. Israelis must hope the courts are still strong enough to stand up to him
Trump's plan for Gaza leaves an opening for Hamas to become an unarmed political movement. Israel must prepare for the possibility that, just as Trump legitimized Al-Sharaa's terrorist militias in Syria and signed agreements with the Taliban in Afghanistan, he might well view Hamas, too, as a 'deserving' organization if it just agrees to disarm
Throughout the Gaza war, foreign journalists have only been allowed to enter areas controlled by the army, and only when accompanied by IDF spokesmen, who prevented them from freely covering the war
Israeli speeches and rallies over the past days have demonstrated complete disregard for pain and suffering in Gaza, and the destruction that the IDF has left behind
Now that a cease-fire is in place, one of Israel's many reckonings must address the belief that good hasbara can distract the world from bad policies, like the humanitarian crisis in Gaza or the suppression of Palestinian self-determination
While talks are still preliminary, Hamas and Israel are expected to negotiate a host of critical issues in post-war Gaza. The U.S. will likely push for the Palestinian Authority to eventually take over Gaza, a move which Netanyahu has opposed
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said the world had witnessed the genocide of Palestinians, describing the recent ceasefire in Gaza as a welcome but fragile development.
Hamas has informed mediators it will begin transferring the bodies of four deceased Israeli hostages to Israel at 10 P.M. local time. Families of the hostages urged Israel and the mediators to suspend the Gaza cease-fire deal following the violation
"One of the ways in which the Gaza genocide is worse than... even the Holocaust – is that you didn’t have... Nazis mocking the genocide after it was over," Hasan wrote.
The bulk of detainees, who were arrested in Gaza during the war because they were classified as 'illegal combatants' by the IDF, were transported back to the Strip with the assistance of the Red Cross. Most of the prisoners will be deported after their release
United States President Donald Trump especially thanked Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and “my favourite” Field Marshal Asim Munir on Monday for their efforts in achieving peace in Gaza, among many other world leaders. Trump was addressing a ceremony following the signing of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas at the Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit in Egypt. He also invited PM Shehbaz to deliver a special address at the ceremony. Taking the podium, PM Shehbaz thanked Trump and the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi for their efforts in securing the peace deal. “Today is one of the greatest days in contemporary history because peace has been achieved after untiring efforts led by President Trump, who is genuinely a man of peace [and] who has relentlessly and untiringly worked throughout these months, day in and day out, to make this world a place to live with peace and prosperity.” ’’I would say that Pakistan had nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his outstanding and extraordin...
With living hostages freed, attention turns to the painful mission of retrieving the remains of those still held in Gaza. These are the stories of the 28 deceased Israeli hostages
Președintele SUA, Donald Trump, a ajuns în Egipt, unde l-a elogiat pe omologul său egiptean, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Liderul american participă luni la un summit privind viitorul Fâșiei Gaza
