BREAKING| Qatar Withdraws as Gaza Ceasefire Mediator; Trump and U.S Pressure Lead to Dramatic Break?
In a dramatic shift, Qatar has pulled out as a key mediator in the Gaza ceasefire talks, citing Hamas's refusal to negotiate in good faith.
This decision comes after intense pressure from the U.S. and Trump’s administration, which had made it clear that Hamas’s continued presence in Doha was no longer acceptable.
Qatar informed both Israel and Hamas that it could no longer facilitate negotiations under these conditions.
The move marks a significant turning point in Middle Eastern diplomacy, as Qatar, once a key mediator, distances itself from Hamas while signaling its readiness to re-engage only if both sides show a sincere willingness to negotiate.
The pressure from the U.S. on Qatar to close Hamas’s office in Doha underscores the shifting dynamics of the region's diplomatic landscape.
Hamas has released a dramatic video in response to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s ultimatum demanding the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. The video accuses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being a "war criminal" and holds him responsible for the deaths of 33 captives. According to Hamas, the hostages were killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes and military actions, with many incidents detailed in the footage.
The group alleges that Israel’s military efforts to recover the hostages have consistently failed, with casualties mounting due to the ongoing conflict. In a chilling warning, Hamas claims that if the war continues, the remaining hostages may be lost forever, intensifying pressure on both Israel and the incoming Trump administration.

Donald Trump has issued a chilling ultimatum to Hamas, warning of catastrophic consequences if the militant group does not release all Israeli hostages before he assumes office on January 20, 2025. In a bold statement on his social media platform, Trump vowed that “all Hell will pay” in the Middle East, emphasizing that those responsible for holding hostages would face the harshest retaliation in US history. With over 100 hostages still held in Gaza, Trump has put intense pressure on Hamas to free the captives, or else risk devastating military and diplomatic repercussions. His warning follows escalating tensions and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, calling it a “miscarriage of justice.” Trump questioned whether the pardon would extend to individuals detained in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot, who have been imprisoned for years. The pardon covers Hunter Biden’s felony convictions for tax evasion and purchasing a gun while lying about drug use. The move, which follows a previous denial by Biden, has sparked a heated debate, particularly as Biden had ruled out such a decision earlier. Trump’s comments emphasize the political nature of the pardon and highlight ongoing concerns about the legal implications of the January 6 riot.

Iran has accused the United States and Israel of orchestrating the recent jihadist attack in Syria, particularly targeting the Syrian city of Aleppo. Major General Mohsen Rezaei, a former commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), claimed that the assault was part of a broader effort to destabilize the region, extending conflicts from Gaza and Lebanon into Syria. He argued that the attack violated the 2020 ceasefire between the Syrian government and militants. Iran expressed full support for Syria in countering these foreign-backed terrorist actions. Additionally, Rezaei warned that Iran’s retaliatory operation, "True Promise III," would soon take place as a response to Israeli actions, signaling a heightened military escalation.

In a bold retaliatory operation, Yemeni Houthis targeted a U.S. destroyer and three American supply ships in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The Yemeni Armed Forces deployed 16 ballistic, cruise missiles, and a drone, achieving precise hits on all targets, according to military spokesperson Yahya Saree. This action follows Yemen's hypersonic missile strike on Tel Aviv earlier in the day, emphasizing Yemen’s stance against U.S. and Israeli involvement in Gaza. Saree reiterated Yemen’s determination to escalate operations until the Israeli siege on Gaza ends. The attack underscores the intensifying regional tensions and Yemen's growing military capabilities.

Iraqi fighters, backed by Iran, have crossed into Syria to join forces with Syrian and Russian military units in a fight against Turkey-backed jihadist rebels. The deployment comes after the jihadists seized Aleppo, marking a significant blow to the Syrian government's control. These reinforcements, primarily from Iraq's Badr and Nujabaa groups, are expected to focus on defending key Shiite shrines and supporting Assad’s forces on the frontlines.
However, Lebanon's Hezbollah, a key ally of Syria and Iran, has decided to stay out of this latest conflict. Despite Hezbollah's earlier role in supporting Syrian forces, particularly in the fight against rebels, it is not ready to commit forces in the current escalation, reportedly due to the strain from its ongoing war with Israel.
