Jerusalem (AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday ordered his spy chief to Qatar for talks with mediators on a Gaza war ceasefire that could see Hamas militants release hostages seized in the October 7 attacks, sources said. Amidst new optimism over a possible breakthrough, Netanyahu called a meeting of his security cabinet for late Thursday to discuss new Hamas proposals sent through Qatari and Egyptian mediators, reports said. Israel believes dozens of hostages are still alive in Gaza and with the war taking an increasing human toll in the devastated Palestinian territory...

(AFP) - The Hamas militant group said Wednesday it had sent new "ideas" to Qatari mediators aimed at ending the nearly nine-month Gaza war with Israel. Israel confirmed that it was "evaluating" Hamas "comments" on a deal to free its hostages in the Palestinian territory and would reply. With the death toll mounting and conditions worsening daily for Gazans, both sides are under increased international pressure to agree to a ceasefire -- more recently based on a roadmap pushed by US President Joe Biden. Hamas has demanded "a permanent ceasefire and complete withdrawal" of Israeli troops from Ga...

By Issam AHMED Washington (AFP) - Dans les rares hôpitaux encore debout à Gaza, de nombreux patients ayant survécu aux bombardements israéliens doivent être abonnés ou meurent d'infections à cause du manque de simples gants, masques ou savon, racontent des soignants américains revenant du territoire palestinien. Des décisions déchirantes doivent être prises, comme cesser de soigner les graves brûlures d'un petit garçon de sept ans, parce que les bandages manquent et qu'il va probablement mourir de toute façon. Ces médecins et infirmiers américains ont été témoins d'horreurs et se sont aujourd'...

Washington (AFP) - Patients in Gaza's few standing hospitals are dying in droves from infections resulting from a lack of protective gear and soap, even when they survive their horrific blast injuries. And health workers are facing agonizing decisions, like giving up on a seven-year-old boy with extensive burns because bandages are in short supply and he'd have probably died anyway. These are just some of the horrors witnessed by American doctors and nurses returning from the besieged Palestinian territory, who are now on a mission to spread the word about what they saw and apply pressure on I...

Washington (AFP) - Israel and the United States said Wednesday they had made progress toward resolving a rift over US weapons shipments after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly accused President Joe Biden's administration of slowing down deliveries. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant met top officials over three days in Washington as he voiced hope for quietly working through disagreements with Israel's vital ally, drawing an implicit contrast to Netanyahu's more confrontational approach. "During the meetings we made significant progress, obstacles were removed and bottlenecks were addresse...

Washington (AFP) - The United States is pressing Israel to avoid a major war against Lebanon's Hezbollah, with top American officials urging a diplomatic solution in order to prevent another Middle East crisis. Israeli forces and Iran-backed Hezbollah are exchanging fire on a near-daily basis, and the Israeli army said last week that plans for an offensive in Lebanon were "approved and validated." Washington is working to lower the temperature, but those efforts -- which come on top of disagreements between the administrations of US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netan...

Washington (AFP) - US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met his Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant at the Pentagon on Tuesday, warning that a conflict between Israel and Hezbollah could spark a regional war and urging a diplomatic solution. More than eight months of war in Gaza has heightened tensions across the region, with Israeli forces and Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah exchanging fire on a near-daily basis. "Another war between Israel and Hezbollah could easily become a regional war, with terrible consequences for the Middle East," Austin said. "Diplomacy is by far the best way to prevent mor...

Gaza Strip (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that "intense" fighting against Hamas militants in the southern Gaza city of Rafah is nearly over, more than eight months into the devastating war. "The intense phase of the fighting against Hamas is about to end," Netanyahu told Israel's Channel 14 network, without providing a clear timeline. "It doesn't mean that the war is about to end, but the war in its intense phase is about to end in Rafah." Israeli officials have described Rafah as the last Hamas stronghold in the Gaza Strip, and in earl...

By W.G. DUNLOP Washington (AFP) - La jetée construite en mai à Gaza par les Etats-Unis avait pour but affiché de faciliter l'acheminement d'aide humanitaire dans ce territoire palestinien assiégé par Israël. Mais depuis son installation il y a un mois, celle-ci va de déboire en déboire. Plus de 4.100 tonnes d'aide ont été acheminées jusque-là dans la bande de Gaza via cette jetée qui a coûté 230 millions de dollars, loin de "l'augmentation massive" de livraisons promise par Joe Biden. Premier soutien militaire d'Israël, Washington a installé cette jetée face aux sévères restrictions imposées p...

Washington (AFP) - New tensions emerged this week between President Joe Biden's administration and Benjamin Netanyahu over the Israeli premier's criticism of US weapons deliveries -- comments the White House described Thursday as "vexing" and "disappointing." The issue began when Netanyahu claimed in a video posted on social media earlier this week that the US administration -- Israel's main military backer -- has been "withholding weapons and ammunitions" from his country in recent months. "Those comments were deeply disappointing and certainly vexing to us, given the amount of support that w...
