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.

In a historic U.S.-brokered deal, D.R. Congo and Rwanda have signed a peace agreement in Washington, witnessed by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Trump hailed it as a “glorious triumph,” though critics argue it may serve U.S. interests in Congo’s mineral-rich east. The deal includes a trade framework for critical minerals, but M23 rebels reject its legitimacy. With thousands killed and millions displaced, experts warn that without inclusive enforcement and reforms, peace may remain elusive in the volatile Great Lakes region.

In a landmark diplomatic moment, DR Congo and Rwanda signed a historic U.S.-brokered peace deal in Washington aimed at ending decades of deadly conflict. President Donald Trump called it a “glorious triumph” while hosting the signing ceremony in the Oval Office, flanked by VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The agreement includes “disengagement, disarmament and conditional integration” of armed groups and signals potential U.S. access to DR Congo’s rare earth minerals. Yet deep questions remain—especially regarding the M23 rebels, Rwandan troop presence, and humanitarian access. With both countries denying support for rival militias, the full terms remain classified, fueling skepticism.
Trump, however, hailed it as a generational victory. Previous similar treaties have failed. But this deal, supported by earlier Qatari mediation, might offer a sliver of hope in a region long marred by instability and mineral-fueled warfare.

At least 34 Palestinians were killed as Israeli airstrikes ravaged Gaza late Friday into Saturday, according to health officials. Twelve of the dead were sheltering at the Palestine Stadium in Gaza City, with additional casualties reported in residential apartments and tents in Muwasi.
The Gaza Health Ministry says the death toll from the war now exceeds 56,000 — more than half of them women and children. Amid the carnage, Donald Trump told reporters a Gaza ceasefire could arrive “within a week,” raising hopes as Israeli minister Ron Dermer prepares to visit Washington for talks. However, ceasefire conditions remain deadlocked, with Hamas willing to release hostages in exchange for ending the war — an offer Netanyahu refuses unless Hamas is disarmed and exiled.
Meanwhile, UN aid convoys are being looted as Palestinians face starvation. Israel allowed only limited food supplies into Gaza after blocking aid for over two months.

Hamas is struggling to survive in Gaza amid internal rebellions by local clans and relentless Israeli military pressure. Weakened by a loss of commanders and much of its tunnel network, the group faces growing uncertainty over continued Iranian support after key Iranian figures were targeted by Israel. With Israel backing rival tribes, Hamas fighters operate autonomously but face growing challenges maintaining control. A ceasefire is urgently needed for Hamas to regroup and suppress rogue elements. The situation exposes deep fractures within Gaza and raises questions about Hamas’s future amid shifting regional dynamics.

Israel has launched a wave of air strikes across Gaza, with northern Gaza City now a primary target following evacuation warnings from the Israeli military. At least 80 Palestinians have been killed since dawn, with dozens more wounded. Among the attacks was a strike on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, raising fears of an impending and intensified ground offensive. The strikes come amid growing international concern over escalating civilian casualties and the targeting of critical infrastructure in one of the region’s most densely populated areas.

The White House is drawing comparisons between Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial and Donald Trump's own legal troubles, calling both politically motivated “witch hunts.” Trump’s team has voiced strong empathy, with spokespersons saying he sees Netanyahu as a fellow target of a biased judicial system. The statement comes as both leaders battle mounting legal pressure, framing their court cases as attacks from political enemies. Trump, in recent posts, urged for Netanyahu’s trial to end—underscoring growing solidarity between the embattled leaders.

Iran’s top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, has issued a fatwa against Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring them "enemies of God and Islam." Labeling them mohareb—those who wage war against God—he warned that under Islamic law, such individuals face severe punishments. The fatwa forbids Muslim support for the U.S. or Israel and calls for global Islamic unity to resist Western aggression. Issued after a deadly 12-day war, the decree intensifies Iran’s religious-political stance amid the fragile ceasefire.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has dismissed Donald Trump’s claims of "total destruction" of Iran’s nuclear facilities as exaggerated and misleading. He accuses Trump of inflating the success of U.S. strikes to conceal strategic failures, asserting that Iran’s nuclear program remains largely intact. Supporting this, IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi says Iran could restart enrichment in months. Khamenei insists America “gained nothing” from the war, while Pentagon leaks also contradict Trump’s narrative of total obliteration.

More than 580 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,200 injured while standing in line for humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to the latest data from the Gaza Media Office. Eyewitness reports and Israeli media reveal shocking claims that IDF soldiers were ordered to fire on unarmed, starving civilians—men, women, and children—desperate for food.
The UN has condemned the US-Israel airdrop system as a “death trap”, calling it a catastrophic failure of humanitarian response. A new study, led by the University of London and Palestinian scholars, reveals that nearly 100,000 people have died since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza—most from airstrikes, many from starvation and disease.
This video unpacks the systematic targeting of civilians, the crumbling infrastructure, and the global silence in the face of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. Rights groups are calling this a modern genocide. Will the world act before it's too late?
