ceasefire
As talks of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas loom in the air, Washington does not expect an agreement in the near future due to the fact that a globally supported US-backed proposal has not been fully embraced by either side. But speaking at the G7 summit in Italy, where current world conflicts are the main topic, US President Joe Biden told reports that he "hadn't lost hope". As Israeli bombing continued in the Gaza strip, this week Hamas proposed modifications to a US-backed peace proposal aimed at ensuring a permanent cease-fire and the full withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. ...

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Cairo on Monday as a proposal for a ceasefire deal approved by President Joe Biden hangs in the balance. Blinken has said Hamas was the last group that needed to accept a three-phase peace proposal involving the release of hostages and an end to fighting. “If you want a cease-fire, press Hamas to say yes,” he told reporters before leaving the Egyptian capital on the trip that will take him to Israel, Jordan and Qatar. The US foreign policy chief commented that the deal — which was proposed to Hamas 10 days ago — has international support, with Israe...

President Volodymyr Zelensky warned former U.S. President Donald Trump against forcing Ukraine into a ceasefire with Russia in an interview with the Guardian, saying it would be a “trap.” Trump has said he could end Russia’s war within 24 hours if elected president, without specifying the steps for reaching a peace deal between Kyiv and Moscow. The presumptive Republican nominee has also said he thinks both Moscow and Kyiv “want to save face, they want a way out,” claiming that Ukrainians in Russian-occupied territories would be okay being part of Russia, the Washington Post reported in April,...

Washington (AFP) - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday that a Gaza ceasefire deal was still possible but he charged that an International Criminal Court arrest bid for Israeli leaders was setting back diplomatic efforts. Testifying before Congress, Blinken was repeatedly disrupted by protesters critical of US support for Israel. Several were evicted after shouting that he was a "war criminal," but protesters -- many showing symbolically reddened hands --were later allowed to sit silently behind him. Blinken credited Qatar and Egypt with assisting the "extensive effort" to secure ...

A group of EU institution staffers marched in silence in Brussels on Wednesday to mourn the lives lost in Gaza and what they described as the “death” of European values. The civil servants, who defended their impartiality and the apolitical nature of the demonstration, say that the core values of human dignity, peace and the rule of law that they were hired to uphold are being violated in Gaza, and that the EU needs to act. The demonstrators also said that as a peace project, the EU has a responsibility to contribute more towards international efforts to bring peace back to war-torn Gaza. In a...

Israel has rejected a ceasefire deal with Hamas with one official criticising it as 'watered-down'. Hamas agreed to the deal, proposed by Egyptian and Qatari mediators, on Monday but Israel said the terms did not meet its basic demands. Details of what was outlined in the proposal have been scarce but it is believed to have included a phased exchange of Israeli hostages in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. It was also thought to include provisions for displaced Palestinians to return to their homes in Gaza. Despite the rejection, news that Hamas had agreed a deal was met with jubi...

US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Monday morning as Israel appeared closer to launching an offensive on the southern Gaza city of Rafah - a move staunchly opposed by the US on humanitarian grounds. The White House said Biden underscored US concerns about an invasion of Rafah - where more than 1 million civilians from other parts of Gaza are sheltering after 7 months of war sparked by Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel. “The President reiterated his clear position on Rafah,” according to a White House summary of the call. The call comes hours before Biden...

Northern Gaza is experiencing "full-blown" famine, according to the UN World Food Programme (WFP) Director Cindy McCain. "Whenever you have conflicts like this, and emotions rage high, and things happen in a war, famine happens," she said during an interview with NBC aired on Saturday. "What I can explain to you is - is that there is famine - full-blown famine - in the north." McCain warned mass starvation was "moving its way south", where the vast majority of Gaza's population has fled fighting between Israel and Hamas. The UN has claimed since mid-March that northern Gaza is "nearing" a stat...
