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 […]

Muhhamed Nazzal, a senior member of Hamas’s political bureau, outlined the group’s counterproposal to a draft truce deal worked on by Qatar, Egypt, Israel, and the United States. “The proposal was received by Hamas following the Paris conference and Hamas’s response was more specific and provided deadlines. These timelines were specified by Hamas itself,” Nazzal told Al Jazeera. “Among these details, none can be compromised. The Israeli killing machine must be brought to a halt. We wish to see Israeli occupation forces withdrawal from the Gaza Strip entirely. Our response is realistic and our demands are reasonable.” He said Hamas fears the Israelis are “not seriously committed to this deal”, […]

The US veto on Friday against a proposed UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza has triggered conversation and a call to action to use a rare United Nations resolution in efforts to stop Israel’s brutal war on Gaza. Egypt and Mauritania on Monday invoked Resolution 377A (V) to call for an emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday. The resolution says that if the UNSC is not able to discharge its primary responsibility of maintaining global peace due to lack of unanimity, the UNGA can step in.

The Scottish Parliament is due to debate a motion in support of UN calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and the creation of safe routes for medical aid and displaced people. In an interview with Al Jazeera, the Scottish first minister said he had been calling for a ceasefire in the besieged coastal enclave for weeks. “I expect the Scottish Parliament to vote overwhelmingly for a motion calling for an immediate ceasefire, but we must also address the real reasons for this [conflict], which is that the Palestinians were promised a state but this promise was reneged on,” Yousaf said. “There has to be a recognition of the State of […]
