Israel Hamas war: Civilians loot aid trucks at Rafah crossing as Europe calls for ceasefire

18 Dec 2023  |  Yahoo News  |  English  |  War in Gaza

Civilians in Gaza looted aid trucks at the Rafah crossing amid a severe humanitarian crisis exacerbated by more than two months of Israeli bombardment. The United Nations reported that people are so desperate for food that they are ambushing aid trucks. A communications blackout has persisted, complicating rescue efforts and monitoring of civilian casualties. European lawmakers from the Renew Europe group visited the crossing and called for a ceasefire. The US defense secretary plans to visit Israel to discuss a timetable for ending the war, which includes targeted strikes and hostage rescue operations. Hamas insists on prisoner releases in exchange for hostages taken during their attack on October 7.

How a ceasefire will reveal the true scale of Gaza's death toll

30 Oct 2024  |  The New Arab  |  English  |  Ceasefire

The ceasefire between Hamas and Israel has brought a temporary halt to the conflict in Gaza, allowing for the assessment of the true death toll. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reports over 47,000 deaths, but other estimates suggest higher numbers. Research indicates significant underreporting, with many deaths resulting from indirect effects of the conflict. The ceasefire provides an opportunity to uncover the full extent of casualties, though challenges remain due to infrastructure damage and lack of resources. International support is deemed necessary for accurate documentation and dignified burials.

12 Dec 2023  |  noticias.uol.com.br  |  Portuguese  |  Gaza Ceasefire

The UN General Assembly approved a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, which was opposed by Israel and several other countries. The resolution, which is not legally binding, aims to create political pressure on Israel. The US, which vetoed a similar proposal in the UN Security Council, attempted to amend the resolution to condemn Hamas but failed to secure the necessary votes. The vote reflects the international community's stance on the issue, with 86 countries supporting the US, 62 opposing, and 25 abstaining.

27 Mar 2024  |  www.moneycontrol.com  |  English  |  Ceasefire

The US has allowed the UN to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, withdrawing its protection of Israel. This move comes as the Biden administration seeks to avoid blame for the ongoing massacre in Gaza, especially with upcoming elections. Israel, under Netanyahu, has been ignoring US advice, leading to a potential shift in US perception of the Muslim world. Traditional allies, the US and Israel, are now on a collision course.

Ceasefire: Now begins the most critical phase of the Gaza

28 Nov 2023  |  www.welt.de  |  German  |  Ceasefire

A ceasefire has led to the exchange of 50 Israeli hostages for 150 imprisoned Palestinians, with potential for further releases. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has signaled a willingness to extend the ceasefire, which Hamas also seeks to achieve. The ceasefire could be extended by one day for every ten additional hostages, allowing up to 50 more Israelis to return home from Gaza within a five-day window. However, each day of ceasefire could cause Israel's military to lose its advantage on the battlefield, and strategic considerations will become increasingly important in the next phase of the conflict.

Turkey seeks Gaza ceasefire role despite US criticism over Hamas ties

30 Nov 2024  |  Modern Ghana  |  English  |  Gaza Ceasefire

Turkey is positioning itself as a mediator in the Gaza ceasefire efforts, despite criticism from the US over its ties with Hamas. President Erdogan has expressed commitment to ending the violence in Gaza, while US President Biden acknowledges Turkey's potential role in peace mediation. However, US officials remain skeptical due to Turkey's support for Hamas. Despite tensions, Turkey and Israel maintain back-channel communications, with recent meetings focusing on Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Israel remains cautious of Turkey's neutrality, and Prime Minister Netanyahu has rejected a ceasefire, emphasizing increased pressure on Hamas. Turkey's complex relations with both Hamas and Israel continue to shape its diplomatic efforts in the region.

A Fragile Cease-Fire in Gaza

16 Jan 2025  |  www.nytimes.com  |  English  |  Ceasefire

Israel and Hamas have agreed to a temporary ceasefire after over a year of conflict, with a three-stage plan that could lead to a permanent truce. The initial phase involves the release of hostages by Hamas and Palestinian prisoners by Israel, alongside a gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops. The ceasefire's success hinges on further negotiations, with ambiguity in the agreement allowing both sides to claim partial victories. The Trump administration's pressure on Israel played a crucial role in reaching the deal. The ceasefire offers temporary relief to Gazans and Israelis, but its long-term impact on regional dynamics and internal Israeli politics remains uncertain.

Israel bombs Gaza Strip before ceasefire begins

22 Nov 2023  |  ADN Radio  |  Spanish  |  War in Gaza

Israeli forces bombed the Gaza Strip hours before a ceasefire was to begin, following an agreement with Hamas for a four-day truce. The ceasefire will allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and include an exchange of hostages for political prisoners. Qatar authorities had anticipated the truce, which comes after a conflict that has resulted in 14,128 deaths in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, described as ultrarightist, stated that attacks would resume after the ceasefire. The agreement includes the release of 50 hostages taken by Hamas on October 7 and 150 women and children detained by Israel. Netanyahu confirmed the ceasefire with the support of his security cabinet, with the exact time for the ceasefire's start still unknown. Additionally, Israel killed five Palestinians in a drone attack in the Tulkarem refugee camp in the West Bank, causing deaths and injuries.
