Israel will allow a multinational security force to enter Gaza as proposed under US President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan for the enclave, an Israeli official said on Sunday, a day before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heads to Washington. Netanyahu’s security cabinet on Sunday approved the legal framework that would allow the force’s entry to Gaza, the official said. Netanyahu is scheduled to depart for Washington on Monday and is expected to meet Trump on Tuesday. The official said that the mission, called the International Stabilisation Force (ISF), will include 200 members from “friendly countries such as Uganda and Morocco” deploying in areas that are not under Israeli control. Each contingent requires individual Israeli approval to enter Gaza. It was unclear when the forces would deploy. Much of Gaza remains in ruins from two years of relentless Israeli bombing triggered by the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct 7, 2023. After a ceasefire deal was struck in October, Trump set out a 20-point peace...
Palestinian officials said Israeli settlers set fire to two mosques in the occupied West Bank overnight on Sunday. Violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank has surged since the Israeli assault on Gaza began in October 2023. Abdel Azim Wadi, mayor of the town of Qusra, south of the city of Nablus, told AFP that settlers torched a mosque under construction in the southern part of the town. “The fire destroyed the mosque’s entrance and even damaged its stonework,” Wadi said. He added that the attackers spray-painted Hebrew graffiti on the mosque’s walls, including the word “revenge”. The Israeli military said troops were dispatched to the outskirts of Qusra after receiving a report that a mosque had been set ablaze. “The soldiers searched for suspects who had fled prior to their arrival and identified signs of arson and graffiti at the scene,” it said, adding that Israeli police would investigate and collect evidence. In a separate incident, Israeli settlers set fire to a mosque in the village of Kour, near Tu...

The foreign ministers of Pakistan and seven other Arab-Islamic countries on Friday strongly condemned what they described as Israel's escalating actions at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, denouncing repeated incursions by Israeli settlers and provocative measures at the holy site.
A day after Israeli far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir led hundreds of Israeli Jews into Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa mosque compound, Pakistan and seven other countries on Friday issued a joint statement condemning the “provocative actions”. The joint statement, shared by the Foreign Office, was issued by the foreign ministers of Pakistan, Egypt, Turkiye, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The ministers condemned “in the strongest terms the Israeli escalation at Al Aqsa Mosque, particularly the continued mass settlers’ incursions led by extremist Israeli ministers, under the protection of the Israeli forces, the raising of the Israeli flag within its courtyards, the erection by Israeli police of two tents, and all other inflammatory acts”. Access to the site is governed by a decades-old “status quo” arrangement between Israel and Jordan, whose religious foundation administers the place. Under that arrangement, Jews may visit but are not permitted to pray there, whil...
