Inside the Fatah-Hamas talks for Gaza's post-war governance
Fatah and Hamas have agreed to form a joint committee to oversee Gaza's civil administration post-war, marking a step towards unity after years of division. The proposed Community Support Committee will manage various sectors in Gaza, reporting to the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority. The agreement, reached after talks in Cairo, aims to end Hamas's governance in Gaza and function until elections are held. However, challenges remain, including Hamas's military role and the need for approval from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The deal's success depends on acceptance by Israel and the US, with ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the Israeli war on Gaza.

What Trump’s Gaza Plan Means for the World
Donald Trump's proposal to take over Gaza and relocate its population has sparked international outrage, with many viewing it as a form of ethnic cleansing. The plan has been rejected by key Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan, who see it as a threat to regional stability and a violation of Palestinian rights. Critics argue that the proposal could incite further violence and terrorism, undermine existing peace agreements, and damage U.S. relations in the region.

Israel pauses ceasefire in Gaza and accuses Hamas of creating 'last-minute crisis'
Israel has paused a planned ceasefire in Gaza, accusing Hamas of creating a 'last-minute crisis' by not adhering to the agreement terms. The Israeli cabinet, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will not meet to approve the ceasefire until Hamas complies with all elements of the agreement. Hamas, however, denies any wrongdoing and insists on respecting the agreements. The ceasefire, brokered by outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden and Qatar, aimed to halt hostilities and facilitate the exchange of hostages and prisoners. The delay in the ceasefire has led to renewed Israeli attacks, resulting in at least 51 casualties.

Trump’s Gaza ‘Clean-Out’ Plan Will Destabilize Allies
President Donald Trump's proposal to relocate over 2.3 million Palestinian refugees from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan faces strong opposition from both countries. Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi have rejected the plan, citing national security and economic concerns. The plan, supported by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is seen as a way to curb Gaza-based terrorism but risks destabilizing the region. Jordan, already hosting a large Palestinian population, faces economic strain and potential internal unrest, while Egypt fears an influx could exacerbate its economic challenges and reignite Islamist militancy in the Sinai. The proposal threatens to undermine existing peace accords and could provoke military tensions.

Palestinians return to their homes in northern Gaza
Thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, previously seeking refuge in makeshift camps and hospitals, are returning to their devastated homes in the north. This movement follows controversial proposals by Donald Trump to relocate Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan. Despite Israeli accusations against Hamas for violating a truce, the convoy of returning residents, escorted by Hamas fighters, was halted at the Nuseirat camp. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with over 47,000 Palestinians, including many women and children, losing their lives. Israel claims to have eliminated over 17,000 Hamas fighters, though evidence is lacking. The ongoing conflict has led to the displacement of approximately 90% of Gaza's 2.3 million residents.

A Fragile Cease-Fire in Gaza
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.

How Lebanon's crisis sets the stage for a potential Iran-Israel conflict
