Hamas representatives said that they may struggle to return all the deceased hostages to Israel within the timeline set by the agreement. An international task force for that purpose was established during the cease-fire talks in Egypt

Italy are struggling to qualify automatically for next year’s World Cup finals and the pressure on the team is exacerbated by the tension surrounding next Tuesday’s qualifier with Israel in Udine. Italy was the scene of some of Europe’s biggest pro-Palestinian protests last weekend, as Israeli forces continue their offensive in Gaza. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered across Italy in anger at Israel’s actions, and calls for the country to be barred from international sport have grown louder. The protests were in response to Israel’s military operation in Gaza, which was sparked by the attack by Hamas fighters on October 7, 2023, on Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip. During Friday’s massive strike action in support of the Palestinians, demonstrators went to the Italian national team’s training centre in Florence to demand the match against Israel be called off. As of Tuesday only around 4,000 tickets had been sold for the game in Udine, a small city in Italy’s far north-east, which was picked speci...

Netanyahu will convene the government on Thursday to approve the agreement ■ Hamas called on the international community to ensure that Israel fully implements the deal ■ Hostage families said their fight will not end until the last hostage returns

President Donald Trump says Israel and Hamas have agreed to the “first phase” of his peace plan to pause fighting and release at least some hostages.

In an interview with Haaretz, Trump's envoy to Israel maintains that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's aid distribution method is the most efficient: 'Nobody denies there's shooting and killing all over Gaza. But whether GHF or its mechanism had anything to do with it is what I dispute'

Two cousins were beaten in Boston after being called “Dirty Jew” and told to “go back to Israel.” Police say the attack was antisemitic.

The deal with Hamas could still collapse if Netanyahu seeks another 'image of victory' and refuses to release 'Palestinian symbols' serving prison sentences totaling hundreds of years, but he must remember that Hamas did not wait for them to attack Israel on October 7, 2023

Israel has been facing damning criticism from across the globe over its relentless bombardment in Gaza over the past two years, with Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and a United Nations inquiry already declaring its actions in the enclave as a “genocide”. Israel imposed a total blockade on the Palestinian enclave on March 2 after ceasefire talks broke down. In late July, it began allowing a small trickle of aid to resume, following warnings of a wave of starvation. But the aid was too little and too late to reverse the damage already done; the UN officially declared a famine in Gaza City in August. As today marks another year of the world witnessing piled up bodies in shrouds, spilt blood, shredded body parts, hungry cries for food and buildings reduced to rubble in Gaza, we take a look at some pictures that are an incriminating statement of Israel’s multiple war crimes in the enclave.

ISLAMABAD - Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Friday rejected the Middle East peace plan presented by former US president Donald Trump, terming it pro-Israel and unacceptable.

US President Donald Trump said early Saturday Israel must stop bombing Gaza immediately and that he believes Hamas is ready for peace after an earlier statement by the Palestinian resistance group. Hamas said it would agree to some of the terms in Trump’s plan to end the Gaza war, including releasing hostages, but avoided addressing more vexing issues like disarmament and said it would seek further negotiations. Soon after, Trump posted Hamas’ response to his Truth Social account. Trump had earlier not specified whether the terms would be subject to negotiation, as Hamas is seeking. Notably, the resistance group did not say if it would agree to disarm and demilitarise Gaza — something Israel and the US want but Hamas has rejected before. It also did not agree to an Israeli withdrawal in stages, as opposed to the immediate, full withdrawal the group demands. A senior Hamas official told Al Jazeera that the group would not disarm before Israel’s occupation of the besieged enclave ends, comments that underscored...
