After six months of fighting, there is still no sign of any breakthrough in the negotiations led by Qatar and Egypt to clinch a ceasefire deal in Gaza, as Israel and Hamas stick to their mutually irreconcilable conditions. Sheikh Mohammed said Doha had “warned from the beginning of this war against the expansion […]

An investigation by Al Jazeera’s Sanad verification agency has found that the Israeli attacks that killed seven people in a World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid convoy were intentional. Basing the research on open-source information, witness testimonies and images from the site, a chronological and geographical timeline of the events was constructed. WCK said in a statement on Tuesday that its workers had been leaving the Deir el-Balah warehouse after delivering 100 tonnes of food aid and that “despite coordinating movements with the [Israeli army], the convoy was hit”. Al Jazeera’s Defence Editor, Alex Gatopoulos, has more on what the Al Jazeera investigation uncovered. Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us […]

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara says there are “clear differences” between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “There is definitely increasing heat between the prime minister and the president,” he said. “But I think Biden is underlining a change of tone, not a change of policy. And that explains a bit why he sounds as if he’s speaking from both sides of his mouth. On one hand, he talks about red lines, and on the other hand, he talks about continuing basically unconditional support.” According to Bishara, the Biden administration made the “mistake” of making US support for Israel unconditional. “But for more than […]
Speaking in a televised address, the Israeli prime minister has again come out against a two-state solution and an independent Palestinian state. Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara, highlights that the Israeli Prime Minister has firmly rejected proposals from America’s allies, friends, and critics, displaying a new-found confidence and assertiveness after months of wavering. Bishara said that Netanyahu adopts a combative tone, emphasizing heroism, victory, and the decisive defeat of Hamas, sidelining negotiations. Bishara added that the Israeli prime minister juxtaposes the demands of captive families with those of fallen soldiers, solidifying his coalition’s support while dismissing American influence and asserting Israel’s autonomy despite accepting aid.
