Israel Hamas War

Hamas has consistently insisted on a complete withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for the next ceasefire, a condition that Israel has adamantly rejected.

The IDF's 98th Division carried out the operation, targeting Sinwar, who is currently one of the most wanted figures within the Hamas leadership. Israel's Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, had previously declared the intention to locate Sinwar's hideout and eliminate him.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed shock over the allegations, and the UN has immediately terminated nine employees involved, with investigations ongoing.

The meeting, believed to have occurred in Paris, included participants such as CIA Director William Burns, Mossad intelligence agency head David Barnea, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel.

Adding to the dire situation, Nasser Hospital is grappling with an overflow of medical waste, a consequence of the Israeli army's blockade, as stated by the Hamas-run Health Ministry.

The funding suspension comes after the United States, Canada, Britain, Germany, Australia, Finland, and the Netherlands decided to pause financial support to UNRWA.

According to a Sunday edition of USA TODAY, the ruling, while not immediately altering conditions on the ground, holds symbolic value. Palestinian Minister of Foreign Affairs Riyadh Maliki hailed it as a decision in "favour of humanity and international law."

Netanyahu urged Qatar to substantiate its role as a mediator by applying pressure on Hamas to facilitate the return of the hostages. Qatar has played a crucial role as the primary mediator in indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas, focusing on resolving the ongoing conflict and securing the release of more than 100 hostages held by Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza.

Guterres, in an official statement, emphasized the legally binding nature of ICJ decisions. He conveyed his trust that all involved parties would duly comply with the court's order.

The ICJ, while refraining from ordering a ceasefire, did not dismiss genocide charges against Israel, as requested by South Africa in its case.
