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.

Trump calls Israeli PM a ‘war hero’, and adds ‘I am too’

US President Donald Trump has described himself as a "war hero" and praised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "good man" and fellow "war hero" during a radio interview. Trump, who evaded the Vietnam War draft, justified giving himself the label on The Mark Levin Show on Tuesday because of his decisions about the use of military force. He said he was working with Netanyahu - who is under an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes - to free hostages being held by Hamas.

He's a war hero," Trump told Levin, adding: "I guess I am too." ...

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...

Far-right Israeli minister prays at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site, breaching decades-old agreement

A far-right Israeli minister has sparked outrage after leading a group of worshippers in prayer at the most sensitive holy site in Jerusalem, despite a decades-old agreement that bars Jews from worshipping there. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who has previously been convicted for supporting terrorism and inciting anti-Arab racism in Israel, commemorated Tisha B'Av, a Jewish day of mourning, in the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, known to Jews as Temple Mount. On Tisha B'Av, Jews mark the destruction of two ancient temples that once stood on the land.
