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 Trumpâs administration, which had made it clear that Hamasâs 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 Hamasâs office in Doha underscores the shifting dynamics of the region's diplomatic landscape.
Israel is now battling a dangerous two-front war as Yemeni Houthis join Hamas in striking critical targets. Yemenâs Armed Forces announced they fired a âPalestine-2â hypersonic ballistic missile and armed drones past Israeli interception systems, hitting Ben Gurion Airport, a Tel Aviv military site, and Ashkelon. The attack plunged Ben Gurion into chaos, suspending operations and forcing thousands into shelters. Since October 2023, the Houthis have expanded their campaign of solidarity with Hamas, hitting Israeli ships in the Red Sea and targeting airports in their aerial blockade. With 62,300 Palestinians already killed in Gaza, the Houthis vow to continue their strikes until the war and siege end. Israel has retaliated with airstrikes in Yemen, but the rebels show no signs of backing down. The Gaza war is no longer just in GazaâIsrael is now under fire from multiple fronts.

Israel has launched Operation Gideonâs Chariots II, marking the decisive stage of war against Hamas. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the âgates of hellâ will open on Hamas unless hostages are freed and weapons surrendered. With 60,000 reservists, the IDF plans a four-phase offensiveâencirclement, evacuation, and a final push into Gaza City. Netanyahu vowed no hostage will be left behind, while Trump backed Hamasâ âcomplete destruction.â Thousands flee south as Israel intensifies its most ambitious Gaza operation yet.

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gazaâthe first ever in the Middle Eastâwarning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israelâs blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as âHamas lies.â Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.

Yemenâs Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has accused Israel of committing atrocities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as part of a wider âGreater Israelâ expansion plan. In a fiery televised speech from Sanaâa, he claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuâs vision is rooted in distorted religious ideology aimed at dominating the Muslim world. Al-Houthi cited the 1969 Al-Aqsa Mosque arson attack, warning that Israel seeks to destroy the holy site and replace it with a third Jewish temple. He also condemned Egyptâs gas deal with Israel and criticized Arab regimes for supporting the disarmament of Hamas and Hezbollah. Branding Zionism a threat to global society, the Ansarullah leader urged Muslim nations to resist what he described as the âcrime of the centuryâ against Palestinians. He reaffirmed Yemenâs military operations in solidarity with Gaza, vowing that ships violating the Red Sea embargo will be targeted.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel will conquer all of Gaza, even if Hamas agrees to a hostage deal, intensifying fears of an unrelenting military campaign. Speaking after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new offensive on Gaza City, Netanyahu said Hamasâ removal is non-negotiable and compared leaving them in Gaza to leaving Nazis in Berlin. He cited U.S. President Donald Trumpâs backing, noting Trumpâs statement that Hamas âcannot stayâ in Gaza. Despite mounting international condemnation and warnings from the UN and humanitarian groups, Netanyahu dismissed criticism as a âtsunami of anti-Semitism.â The humanitarian toll continues to escalate, with over 62,000 Palestinians reported killed since October 2023. Several nations, including France, are considering recognition of Palestine in response to the crisis. Netanyahu insists the war could end immediately if Hamas disarms, but vowed Israel will not stop short of total conquest.

Israel under pressure to respond to ceasefire proposal as strikes on Gaza continue

After Hamas accepted new ceasefire terms to release half of the hostages, Israel has shifted conditions, demanding the release of all 50 remaining captives. The move risks derailing a Qatar- and Egypt-brokered truce. Netanyahu insists war will only end if Hamas disarms, Gaza is demilitarized, and Israeli security control is secured. With over 62,000 killed and Gaza on the brink of famine, Trumpâs call for the âfull destruction of Hamasâ fuels fears of a trilateral conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Hamas.

In a stunning turn, Ukraine signaled readiness for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with a senior diplomat saying President Volodymyr Zelensky is prepared to discuss territorial disputes. Ukraineâs First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Kislitsa stressed that the current frontline could serve as the starting point for negotiations, though Kyiv insists it will not trade land for peace. Behind closed doors, however, reports suggest Zelensky may consider freezing the conflict along existing battle lines. The move comes as the West races to draft security guarantees for Kyiv, with the US likely overseeing command and Europe providing the bulk of forces. Moscow has cautiously welcomed dialogue but warned that serious diplomatic groundwork must precede any meeting. Russian officials have also questioned Zelenskyâs authority, as his presidential term expired over a year ago, adding another layer of uncertainty to the potential high-stakes talks.

In a stunning Oval Office press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that fewer than 20 of the remaining hostages in Gaza are still alive â sparking outrage and despair from families demanding answers. Trump credited himself with previous hostage releases but warned that âa couple of them are not around any longer,â contradicting Israelâs official figures. Israel insists that 50 hostages remain in Gaza, with 20 alive, 2 in grave danger, and 28 confirmed dead. Families accused the government of keeping them in the dark while Trumpâs comments intensified pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is preparing to launch a massive Gaza City offensive under the name âOperation Iron Fist.â With one million Palestinians ordered to evacuate, negotiators scramble to reach a ceasefire-hostage deal before the invasion begins. The question now: how many hostages remain alive â and can they be saved in time?

In a major escalation, five Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers have been killed and fourteen others wounded following a sophisticated IED (Improvised Explosive Device) attack by Hamas. The incident occurred in Beit Hanoun, a hotspot in northern Gaza that has seen a recent surge in militant activity. According to reports, the attack targeted an army medical unit that was entering the area to evacuate soldiers who were wounded in earlier fighting.
Four of the fallen soldiers were from the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion, with the fifth belonging to the Northern Gaza Brigade. The IDF has officially named some of the deceased, including Staff Sgt. Noam Musgadian and Sgt. Moshe Frech, as the nation mourns their loss. All fourteen injured soldiers have been evacuated for urgent medical treatment. This attack comes at a critical time, coinciding with indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, mediated in Doha, Qatar. The latest round of talks on Monday ended without any significant breakthrough.
Adding a layer of political drama to the tragedy, a photograph circulated by RT News allegedly captured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's furious reaction to the news, which he reportedly received just before a dinner with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
This deadly incident, occurring two years into the Israel-Gaza war, highlights the persistent threat posed by Hamas and raises serious questions about Israel's ability to completely secure the region and neutralize the group's operational capabilities.

Is a deal still possible â or is peace slipping further away?
