US-backed aid group suspends Gaza operations after ceasefire
GAZA — The controversial US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has confirmed it suspended operations in Gaza after the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas came into effect on 10 October.Despite being funded until November, the organisation said its final delivery was on Friday.The GHF has been heavily criticised after hundreds of Palestinians were killed while collecting food near its distribution sites. Witnesses say most were killed by Israeli forces.Israel has regularly denied that its troops fired on civilians at or near the sites and the GHF has maintained that aid distribution at its sites has been carried out "without incident".The group's northernmost aid distribution site, known as SDS4, was shut down because it was no longer in IDF-controlled...

Netanyahu 'determined' to pressure Hamas to find remaining dead hostages
JERUSALEM — Israel's prime minister has told a memorial for victims of the Hamas-led attack on 7 October 2023 that he is "determined" to secure the return of the dead hostages still in Gaza, and that the country will continue to fight terrorism with "full force".Benjamin Netanyahu made the comments hours after Hamas returned the bodies of two more hostages but said it was not able to access the remaining 19.There has been fury in Israel that Hamas has not returned all the bodies in line with last week's Gaza ceasefire deal, though the US has downplayed the suggestion it amounts to a breach.Also on Thursday, Donald Trump signaled he was willing to see fighting resume if Hamas "continues to kill people".Writing on his Truth Social platform, the US president said "we will have no...

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...

Israeli military says Hamas handed over wrong body in hostage release
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...
