Israel-Hamas ceasefire thrown into further doubt as Rubio backs Netanyahu's war aims
Sunday, 16 February 2025 US secretary of state Marco Rubio has fully endorsed Israel's war aims in the Gaza Strip – throwing the region's fragile ceasefire into further doubt.
Iran Fires Back at Netanyahu, Trump’s SecState’s ‘Finish the Job’ Threat. Iran has strongly reacted to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vow to "finish the job" against Tehran, calling it a gross violation of international law. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei...
In a dramatic turn after the collapse of the latest Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a crucial phone call discussing the future of negotiations and potential ceasefire conditions. Lavrov welcomed Washington's “constructive” approach, while Rubio praised a proposed 1,000-for-1,000 POW exchange as a positive step. As both sides seek new diplomatic footing, speculation is mounting over a possible high-stakes meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump to break the deadlock and chart a path toward ending the war.

President Trump has revealed that Iran received a fresh U.S. proposal for a new nuclear agreement. Urging swift action, Trump warned Tehran to “move quickly” or face serious consequences. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed the urgency, citing Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile—just a short step from weapons-grade levels. With four rounds of backchannel talks in Oman and increasing pressure from Congress, the stakes are high. Trump claims Iran has “sort of agreed,” promising a future without “nuclear dust”—but Republicans are demanding a tougher stance.

As famine looms in Gaza, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington is open to alternatives after a US-Israel aid plan was slammed by critics and rejected by the UN. Speaking from Turkey, Rubio emphasized concern for Gaza’s civilians, calling for solutions that bypass Hamas. The new Geneva-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation plans to deliver 300 million meals, but little is known about it. The UN insists its impartial system remains the best route. Meanwhile, Netanyahu prepares a new offensive and reiterates a firm stance on Hamas’ elimination.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Ukraine peace talks in Turkey are doomed without Trump and Putin. As leaders from Russia and Ukraine land in separate cities across Türkiye, confusion reigns over when talks will even begin. With neither Putin nor Trump in attendance, Rubio warns of a diplomatic deadlock. Trump, aboard Air Force One, echoed the sentiment, saying peace requires a direct face-off with Putin. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy slammed the Kremlin for its absence and disrespected Erdoğan, deepening tensions. Can diplomacy survive without the two biggest players at the table?

Marking 77 years since the Nakba, tens of thousands joined a massive pro-Palestine protest in London, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. The march, from Embankment to Downing Street, condemned the ongoing "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians. It coincided with Israel’s intensified bombing of Gaza, killing over 150 in 24 hours. As ceasefire talks resumed in Doha, Israel threatened continued military operations unless progress was made. The symbolic protest amplified global calls for justice and peace as Israeli forces escalated operations and Hamas agreed to rejoin negotiations under mounting pressure.

Hamas appears rattled following Israel’s intense military offensive, Operation Gideon’s Chariots. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a series of strategic attacks that have reportedly pressured Hamas into reconsidering its stance and returning to the negotiating table. This development signals a potential shift in the ongoing conflict, with Israel leveraging its military operations to force Hamas toward dialogue and possibly de-escalation.

Hamas is accusing the Trump administration of betrayal after the release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander. In a shocking revelation, senior Hamas official Basem Naim claims that Trump’s envoy promised to lift the Gaza blockade, allow humanitarian aid, and publicly call for a ceasefire in exchange for the hostage’s release. But according to Hamas, the U.S. “threw the deal in the trash” and delivered none of its commitments.

Israel has launched a new offensive in Gaza, codenamed Operation Gideon’s Chariots, aiming to defeat Hamas and reclaim hostages. The IDF has conducted extensive bombing and troop mobilization in strategic areas. Reports indicate plans to “conquer” the entire enclave and relocate Palestinians southward. Over 115 Palestinians were killed on Friday alone, according to Al Jazeera. The offensive follows the breakdown of a US-Egypt-Qatar-brokered ceasefire in March. Since the war began after Hamas' October 7 attack, more than 53,000 Palestinians have died, with human rights groups accusing Israel of genocide.

President Donald Trump has hinted at major developments in Gaza in the coming month, saying the U.S. wants to help Palestinians suffering amid the Israel-Hamas war. Speaking from Air Force One after his Middle East tour, Trump acknowledged the starvation crisis and emphasized helping “both sides.” Meanwhile, over 100 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes. The IDF claims Hamas operates from civilian sites. The UN has warned of growing terror and humanitarian collapse in Gaza as the offensive escalates.

Israel has eliminated a senior Hezbollah commander, just one day after Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to target Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. The deadly operation is being seen as a chilling signal to Iran-backed factions across the region, especially Yemen’s Ansarallah (Houthis). The strike comes amid Israel’s ongoing confrontations with Hezbollah on its northern front and follows escalating rhetoric against Houthi leadership for their continued attacks in solidarity with Gaza. Is Al-Houthi next?

Trump’s Big Defeat Against Houthis? The U.S. has withdrawn its aircraft carrier, the USS Harry S. Truman, from the Red Sea without replacement — signaling what many see as a strategic retreat under pressure from Yemen’s Houthi forces. The move follows a ceasefire brokered by Oman, aiming to halt maritime attacks. But while the U.S. and Houthis have paused direct hostilities, Houthi operations against Israel continue.

The 34th Arab League Summit in Baghdad is dominated by Gaza’s unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. Iraq’s PM labelled Israel’s actions “genocide,” pledging $40 million for Gaza and Lebanon’s reconstruction. The summit follows President Trump’s controversial Gaza remarks during his Middle East tour. Leaders including Mahmoud Abbas and UN chief Guterres demand an immediate ceasefire, aid access, and legal accountability. Spain announced plans to push the ICC to examine Israel’s compliance with aid delivery laws, intensifying diplomatic pressure. A unified Arab plan calls for Gaza’s rebuilding without displacing its 2.4 million residents.

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency. Netanyahu’s office has not responded to the emotional appeal for a comprehensive deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to "defeat and destroy Hamas with full force" in the coming days, clarifying that any ceasefire deal would be strictly temporary. Just hours later, the IDF bombed two hospitals in Gaza, Nasser and the European Hospital, killing at least 45 people. Netanyahu has also ruled out ending the war in Gaza even if Hamas agrees to release the remaining hostages. As Netanyahu promises to “go all the way,” prospects for a ceasefire appear to be unraveling.
