Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty
Egypt says recovering hostage remains will take time because of conditions in Gaza
CAIRO — Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said the recovery of all Israeli hostage remains will be a challenge that takes time because of the compromised conditions on the ground in Gaza.“Collecting the remains will take some time because they are under rubble and you have a lot of explosive materials, devices under the rubble. So reaching them will be a bit difficult. But we are doing our utmost,” he told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.The difficulty in accessing the remains has been clear since ceasefire negotiations began in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh, said Abdelatty. Egypt is a key mediator in Gaza ceasefire talks.He said Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi “spoke very openly that there are some impediments on the ground and we need to do extra efforts to find, discover...

Syria's Al-Sharaa seeks extradition of al-Assad in first Moscow trip
MOSCOW — Syria’s President Ahmad al-Sharaa arrived on an unprecedented official visit to Moscow on Wednesday, less than a year after he led a swift rebel offensive that ousted one of Russia's top foreign allies, the dictator Bashar al-Assad.Al-Assad was an ally of Russia, and Moscow’s scorched-earth intervention in support of him a decade ago turned the tide of Syria’s civil war, keeping al-Assad in his seat until his swift removal in December.Now, al-Sharaa, who was greeted at the Kremlin with full honours, is expected to demand al-Assad's extradition so he can face a trial back home.Al-Sharaa, who has also courted the US and the West since he came to power in December 2024, has taken a pragmatic approach with Moscow, allowing Russia to retain control over its air and...

Trump demands Hamas disarm as group moves to assert control with public execution
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has threatened to disarm Hamas "violently" amid moves by the group to reassert control over the Gaza Strip, targeting what it called "collaborators".Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump said if Hamas failed to disarm within "a reasonable period of time" then "we will disarm them". He did not say when he expects the group to surrender its weapons.His comments came as footage circulated online showing a public execution and other displays of force by Hamas fighters in Gaza since the US-brokered ceasefire began last week.The execution — which BBC Verify geolocated to a junction in central Gaza City — follows Hamas's pledge to crush "lawlessness" in the Strip.Other verified clips have shown armed men wearing insignia identifying them as...

TEL AVIV — One of the bodies handed over by Hamas on Tuesday was not of a hostage held in Gaza since 7 October 2023 attacks, the Israeli military said on Wednesday.The botched release, which happened as part of phase one of a US-brokered peace deal, threatens to increase tensions over the fragile truce, which came into effect earlier this week, bringing an end to two years of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.Four bodies were handed over by Hamas on Monday, just hours after the last of the 20 living hostages was released. Four further bodies were also returned on Monday, as per the terms of the agreement, which demands that the remains of all 28 deceased hostages be handed over to Israel.“Following the completion of examinations at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine, the fourth...

Iranian court hands lengthy jail terms to two French citizens on spying charges
PARIS — An Iranian court sentenced two French nationals to heavy prison terms on Tuesday after convicting them of spying for France and Israel, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.The ruling comes just a week after Paris and Tehran signaled progress in negotiations for their release, according to Reuters.Cecile Kohler and her partner Jacques Paris are the only two French citizens being held in Iran and have been detained since 2022. An 18-year-old French-German cyclist arrested this year, Lennart Monterlos, was released last week after a court acquitted him of espionage charges.Without specifically naming the defendants, the court sentenced one French citizen to six years in prison for spying on behalf of France, five years in prison on charges of conspiracy to commit a crime...

Fury grows in Israel over delayed release of deceased hostages
TEL AVIV — Just hours after the 20 remaining living hostages were released by Hamas and brought back to Israel on Monday, the speaker of the Israeli parliament took off his yellow ribbon pin, an emblem of solidarity and an omnipresent reminder of the nation’s commitment to securing the captives’ return.As he turned to thank US President Donald Trump – who had arrived earlier to thunderous applause in the Knesset for brokering the ceasefire deal – Amir Ohana said he was “honored to take it off.”Ohana’s pin was given to him by the father of one of the newly released hostages.Yet, the celebratory moment felt deeply inappropriate to some of those still waiting for their loved ones to return, some of whom were sitting in the very same room.“It was disrespectful – no...
