Israelis praise Trump at huge rally ahead of expected hostage release by Hamas in Gaza

Hundreds of thousands of people have held a rally in Tel Aviv, ahead of the expected release of Israeli hostages by Hamas. Addressing the crowds, US special envoy Steve Witkoff said the hostages "are coming home" and praised Donald Trump for making a Gaza ceasefire and hostage return deal possible. In Gaza, Palestinian officials said about 500,000 people had returned to northern Gaza - which lies in ruins - in the past two days, following the withdrawal of Israeli troops. Meanwhile Egypt confirmed it would host a summit on Monday to finalise an agreement aimed at ending the war. More than 20 leaders including Trump would attend the summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, an Egyptian presidential spokesperson said. French President Emmanuel Macron andĀ UK Prime Minister Sir Keir StarmerĀ are c...

A weakened and isolated Hamas faces pressure to accept Trump’s peace plan for Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have finally outmaneuvered Hamas. After facing months of genocide accusations, pariah status and global pressure to halt the war in Gaza, Netanyahu has agreed on a ceasefire plan with US President Donald Trump. The 20-point plan, unveiled by Trump and Netanyahu at the White House, greatly favours Israel.

But with Trump rallying international support for it, including from Hamas' closest allies, the Islamic militant group could have a tough time refusing the pro...

Why is Tony Blair tipped to help run Gaza under Trump peace plan

Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair would help run Gaza as part of an international board under a peace agreement proposed by US President Donald Trump. Blair was the first-named member of a "Board of Peace", chaired by Trump, which would temporarily oversee Gaza's governance, if Hamas accepts the proposal. Trump said "leaders from other countries" on the board will be named later. Former British prime minister Tony Blair.

Trump criticises recognition of Palestine and hits out at UN in General Assembly speech

US President Donald Trump has criticised the decision by Australia and other allies to recognise the state of Palestine, while hitting out at the United Nations itself in his first speech to the global body in five years. He was speaking a day after Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joined leaders from France, the UK, Belgium and several other countries in formally announcing or confirming their support for a Palestinian state in a move aimed at galvanising support for a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict. Without naming the individual countries, Trump accused them of rewarding Hamas for the deadly October 7 attacks.

Massive fireball erupts as Israeli missiles strike Gaza high-rises

The Israeli military struck multiple high-rise buildings in Gaza City on Sunday, after warning people to leave several neighbourhoods, in the latest round of destruction since Israel ordered a complete evacuation of the city earlier this week. Israel's assault on Gaza City appeared to be accelerating, with the military issuing evacuation orders for several towers in Gaza City within just a few hours on Sunday morning. The strikes came ahead of a meeting called by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss efforts to avoid harming the hostages still held in Gaza when the Israeli military undertakes a ground operation planned to take control of Gaza City, according to a source familiar with the matter. Flames erupt from a building following an Israeli military ...

Germany halts military exports to Israel for use in Gaza amid international outcry over Netanyahu plan

Germany won't authorise any exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza "until further notice," Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Friday, in a strikingly quick response by one of Israel's strongest international backers to a decision by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Cabinet to take over Gaza City. The move by Germany, which has previously stopped short of tougher lines against Israel's government taken by some of its European Union allies, appeared likely to further isolate Israel in the wake of the military takeover plan that has been decried by the United Nations, aid and human rights groups, and supporters of Israeli hostages still held in Gaza, among others. Germany, along with the United States and Italy, is among the top foreign suppliers of e...
