A statement from Israeli intelligence agency Mossad said ''The rejection of the proposal by the three mediators, which included the most significant flexibility on Israel's part, proves that (Yahya) Sinwar does not want a humanitarian deal and the return of the hostages, is continuing to exploit the tension with Iran, and is striving to unite the sectors and achieve a general escalation in the region.'' The statement was published on the Prime Minister's Office web page. Yahya Sinwar is the highest-ranking Hamas official in Gaza and the territory's de facto ruler. The statement also said Israe...

Tensions have risen between the US and Israel ahead of a meeting between the two countries' defence ministers. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will meet with Israel's minister of defence on Tuesday and discuss ways to defeat Hamas other than conducting a ground invasion of the southern Gaza city of Rafah, the Pentagon said. Austin's planned morning meeting with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is still on, even though Israel abruptly cancelled the visit of a high-level delegation to Washington this week. Netanyahu cancelled the visit in protest over Monday’s UN Security Council decision...

The UN Security Council will today vote on a resolution declaring “an immediate and sustained cease-fire” in Gaza. The US-sponsored bill aims to protect civilians and enable the delivery of humanitarian aid to more than two million Palestinian people. A previous draft of the bill shared earlier this month emphasised a hostage deal in supporting international efforts for a ceasefire. But the new document does not link an immediate pause with the release of hostages captured on the 7 October attack. “Toward that end", however, it would unequivocally support diplomatic efforts “to secure such a c...

Macron said in an interview from Paris shown on Ukrainian television on Saturday that Russia would be asked to observe a ceasefire, in line with the customary host country's appeal for peace. Vladimir Putin said Russia's interests would always take precedence, but he would consider the request: "We are for peaceful negotiations, but not because the enemy is running out of ammunition. We are for it, if they really seriously want to build ...

It is another sign of the widening cracks in Israel's government nearly five months into its war with Hamas. The trip to the US by Benny Gantz, who is a centrist, comes amid mounting tensions between Washington and Israel's right wing prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, over Gaza. An official from Netanyahu’s Likud party said Gantz’s visit was without authorisation from the Israeli leader. The official said Netanyahu had a “tough talk” with Gantz about the trip and told him the country has “just one prime minister.” Another Israeli official said Gantz had told Netanyahu about his plans to trav...

Qatar’s prime minister said on Tuesday Hamas had reacted positively to the latest plan for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani's comments came after a meeting with top US diplomat Antony Blinken, who was making his latest visit to the Middle East.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Hamas said it responded to the truce proposal "in a positive spirit" but still wants a full ceasefire and an end to the offensive. Qatar, which has long mediated with Hamas, has be...
