Gideon Levy, a columnist at Israel’s Haaretz newspaper, told Al Jazeera that he hopes that “Israelis will start to look upon themselves and not to blame the whole world for what’s going on”. “The notion right now in Israel, as usual, is that the whole world is against us, the whole world is anti-Semitic and let’s get together, we the victims of the world. I don’t know how long it will last because there must be cracks,” he told Al Jazeera. “Israelis should start to ask themselves, ‘Where is my responsibility’? Is it really only the world’s blame? Or maybe there were crimes of war in Gaza. Maybe our leaders […]

US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan says the Biden administration does not view the killings of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel as a genocide. “We do not believe what is happening in Gaza is a genocide. We have been firmly on record rejecting that proposition,” Sullivan said. Sullivan, speaking to reporters at the White House, said the US wants to see Hamas defeated, Palestinians caught in the middle of the war are in “hell” and a major military operation by Israel in Rafah would be a mistake. Jake Sullivan was questioned by Al Jazeera’s White House Correspondent, Kimberly Halkett.

US President Joe Biden is threatening to stop the supply of weapons to Israel if it launches a large-scale attack on Rafah. Washington has been pressuring Israel’s Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for weeks not to send forces into the city in the south of Gaza where more than one and a half million displaced Palestinians have been sheltering.

Just hours earlier, Hamas said it had accepted a ceasefire deal, and for a moment Palestinians in Gaza thought the war was over. But the celebrations were brief, as Israel vowed to continue its plans for an attack on Rafah, using what it calls “extreme force”. Al Jazeera’s Hashem Ahelbarra reports.

Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, highlights the official Israeli position of delaying action in Rafah, attributed to pressure from the US and opposition from surrounding Arab countries like Egypt and Jordan. He notes the US-Israel agreement on ending Hamas’ leadership in Gaza, differing on the method. Bishara suggests the US favors targeted attacks over a broad invasion to minimize civilian casualties and displacement while achieving the same outcome. He criticizes the US’s perceived bias toward Israel, citing Secretary Blinken’s characterization of Hamas as the obstacle to a ceasefire. Bishara condemns Blinken’s description of Israel’s position as a “generous offer,” arguing it does not entail ending the war, bombings, […]
Qatar has been working for months as a mediator in negotiations aimed at bringing about a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Israeli captives. But Qatar’s prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, said Doha is re-evaluating that role, adding that some parties have used the mediation for “narrow political interest”. He made the comments during a joint news conference with Turkey’s foreign minister in Doha. He added that while Qatar remains committed to mediation on a “humanitarian basis”, there has been “abuse and harm” done related to Qatar’s role. Some parties have made “destructive” statements against Qatar, he said, without saying to whom he was […]
