Israel's Ron Dermer, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Qatar's PM have arrived in Sharm el-Sheikh for Gaza talks. Hamas is reportedly demanding the release of the bodies of its former leader Yahya Sinwar and his brother Muhammad as part of the negotiations

Despite initial reports of 'cautious progress' in the talks, which discussed main issues including IDF withdrawal from Gaza and the release of Palestinian prisoners, a foreign diplomat says it is still too early to determine whether pressure exerted on both sides will be enough to bridge the gaps

Despite disputes over Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and the identities of the Palestinian prisoners to be released, Jerusalem, Washington, and Doha say the Gaza cease-fire talks are moving in a positive direction

In an interview with Haaretz, Trump's envoy to Israel maintains that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's aid distribution method is the most efficient: 'Nobody denies there's shooting and killing all over Gaza. But whether GHF or its mechanism had anything to do with it is what I dispute'

Greta Thunberg says she and other Gaza flotilla detainees were “kidnapped and tortured” by Israel, a claim the Foreign Ministry denies.

A senior official Hamas spoke to Al Jazeera and revealed the demand, despite President Trump's proposal not stipulating an exact timeframe for Israel's full withdrawal from Gaza

The dramatic shift among the vast majority of U.S. Jews is closely related to footage of hungry children in Gaza in recent months. The effort by Israel to find an excuse has failed to convince Americans of anything other than that the Israeli government is no longer to be believed

U.S. President Donald Trump's belief that his plan to end the Gaza war is the correct path forward, Netanyahu's opposition be damned, has only been bolstered by his now-repeated highlighting of Israeli protesters praising his leadership

One Gaza City resident said that while the intensity of IDF bombardments has decreased, airstrikes continue, primarily in eastern neighborhoods where Israeli forces remain present. The death toll in Gaza from the war has reached 67,139, with 169,583 people wounded, according to the Health Ministry

From his paralyzing shell-shock in the first hours of the Hamas assault to bombastic claims of 'total victory': This is how Netanyahu, eying elections, is already drafting an alternative history of the Gaza war, the tragedy of so many Israelis and Palestinians be damned

In the Netherlands, an estimated 250,000 people, most dressed in red, gathered in Amsterdam to press the government to take tougher action against Israel. In Spain, a group of women marched carrying white bundles symbolizing the bodies of children killed in Gaza

U.S. President Donald Trump's 'day after' plan for Gaza, if effectively executed, could offer stability and security to the Middle East. But the deal's ability to survive rests on whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas move on what previously were hardline demands

Israel's three largest airlines – El Al, Israir and Arkia – nearly doubled their market share since the war in Gaza began. Smaller airlines have replaced the foreign legacy carriers and low-cost giants have disappeared, and Ben-Gurion Airport expects to see 2.1 million passengers over the holidays

Gaza, Ramallah and Washington all say that a cease-fire, the release of the hostages and a new governing body in Gaza are forthcoming, but all sides are declining to make clear statements. This is Trump's moment of truth: will he be able to enforce Israel's promises if Netanyahu tries to call it quits again?

Two years after the Hamas attack of October 7, Jewish graduates from New York to Cape Town and Sydney reflect on the war, and how pro-Palestinian protests, rising antisemitism and the Gaza death toll have reshaped their views on Israel and their Jewish identity

Bitter experience teaches that this is the most dangerous stage of Gaza cease-fire talks: Netanyahu will try to prolong the process, accuse Hamas of not agreeing to every detail and turn back the clock. Trump must force both sides to do what they did not choose to do themselves: end the war

Israel's interception of a protest flotilla headed to Gaza sparked protests in several European cities, calling for an end to the war as a cease-fire deal reportedly nears

The U.S. president's proposal for ending the Gaza war lacks a clear path toward implementation and measurable goals. Indeed, people close to the Israeli prime minister say he won't need to thwart it, since parts are in any case unfeasible

Israeli army officials worry about clashes that could erupt with protesters, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, on the Global Sumud Flotilla's ships as they near Gaza. Italy's Meloni has called for a halt, despite all parties – including Israel's navy – promising to forgo violence during the takeover once the aid for the Palestinian enclave reaches Israeli waters
