A team of Israeli officials is now in #Cairo and it remains to be seen what will become of the latest ceasefire plan brokered by #Egypt and #Qatar. This proposal centres around a halt in fighting and the return of some of the more than 130 Israeli hostages in exchange for #Palestinian prisoners being held in Israel. Camille Knight looks at the sticking points in the truce proposals. #Israel#Gaza#Hamas
Hamas said it has accepted a proposal from Egypt and Qatar for a cease-fire. It is not immediately clear what the proposal entails, nor what Israel's position is.
"US student protests against Israel are orchestrated by Qatar-funded groups, aiming to promote Islamist ideology and malign Saudi Arabia, as revealed by researchers."
The final list of countries attending the Qatar meeting has not been finalized but Russia has not been invited and China's participation remains unclear, Bloomberg said.
„Qatar is reassessing its role as a mediator between Israel and Hamas, the country's prime minister has said.
Qatar has had a key role - along with Egypt and America - in trying to secure a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and the release of Israeli hostages.“ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68835645
I am always irritated when I hear, see or read reports in the western medias that do not mention the names of #ShireenAbuAkleh and #SamerAbuDaqqa on the subject of the planned ban on reporting by Al Jazeera. The fact that in 2023, almost 75% of all journalists killed in the course of their work worldwide died in the Gaza Strip is also practically never mentioned.
With some of the best museums in the Middle East, a mixture of traditional and ultra-modern living, and stunning #desert landscapes, #Qatar is also one of the fastest growing #tourist destinations in the world. Have you been there? #vacationhttps://backpackandsnorkel.com/Qatar/
Leaked documents from the #Kremlin reveal Vladimir #Putin’s regime is funding a massive AI-powered surveillance operation: facial recognition helps the Kremlin to look for “disloyal and destructive” individuals.

“A member of the Qatari royal family invested roughly $50 million in #Newsmax ..in a moment of acute Middle East tensions during #Trump admin.

We need to stop trying to make antisemites like us.
When #Churchill carpet-bombed Hamburg, Essen, Cologne, and Dresden, he was not trying to win a popularity contest. When Harry #Truman dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he was not looking to win a Nobel Peace Prize.
Those who protect and enable #Hamas’ #genocide, like the utterly antisemitic and immoral United Nations and #Qatar, must be resisted and their reputations destroyed. American abominations like Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and American Taliban like Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) must have their hatred, bigotry, and antisemitism attacked and exposed in the media nonstop.
They will never like us. Let’s make sure they fear us.
Un si doux pays.

Representatives from four nations (#UnitedStates, #Israel, #Egypt & #Qatar) have agreed to have Qatar present a nascent framework to #Hamas that proposes a six-week pause in the #war in #Gaza for Hamas to exchange some #hostages for #Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, officials say.
