At least 174 people have died after a football stadium stampede in Indonesia.

The incident occurred after fans of the losing team stormed the pitch, and police responded with tear gas. This led to a stampede, which resulted in the deaths of at least 174 people.

The incident occurred at the Kanjuruhan stadium in the eastern city of Malang. Arema FC supporters stormed the pitch late on Saturday after their team lost 3-2 to Persebaya Surabaya.

This was the first loss in more than two decades to their bitter rival.

Police tried to persuade fans to return to the stands and fired tear gas after two officers were killed.

However, this only led to further panic and the stampede that followed. In total, at least 174 people have died as a result of the incident.

Response from Authorities

Authorities are still investigating the incident, and have not yet released a statement. This story is developing, and we will update this post as more information becomes available.

Trump gives Hamas deadline to accept Gaza peace plan amid rising pressure from Arab states and ongoing conflict in the region

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.

U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
