Palestinian civil defence crews have uncovered a mass grave inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza’s Khan Younis, with 210 bodies recovered so far, Al Jazeera has learned, as Israel has continued bombardment of the devastated coastal enclave for more than six months. The discovery on Saturday, and continuing into Sunday, comes after the Israeli military withdrew its troops from the southern city on April 7. Much of the Khan Younis is now in ruins after months of relentless Israeli bombardment and heavy fighting. International law experts have told Al Jazeera these could amount to war crimes. Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Khan Younis, in southern Gaza. Subscribe to […]

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 […]

US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that, only seven months ago, it was “unthinkable” to question whether to impose conditions on US military aid to Israel. Failing to do so, she adds, only serves to further destabilise the Middle East.

Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani says talks on a Gaza ceasefire and the release of captives are at a “sensitive phase.” “The negotiations regarding Gaza are going through some stumbling, and we are trying to overcome this to put an end to the suffering,” Sheikh Mohammed told a news conference. 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 […]
