Ceasefire in Gaza set for Sunday, despite last-minute negotiations, as violence continues and victims mourn intensified attacks.
The Gaza Strip ceasefire is set to commence on Sunday, confirmed by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, despite last-minute negotiations.
Israel’s cabinet has postponed ratifying the ceasefire, attributing the delay to Hamas. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have intensified, leading to at least 77 reported fatalities since the announcement of the truce.
Hamas official Izzat el-Reshiq affirmed the group’s commitment to the ceasefire, which aims to halt 15 months of violence. Blinken acknowledged the complexities of the negotiation process, noting the resolution of ongoing issues.
A U.S. official revealed that the primary remaining contention concerns the identities of certain prisoners that Hamas demands be freed. U.S. envoys are in Doha with Egyptian and Qatari mediators to address this issue.
In Gaza, the announcement of the truce has been marred by grief and anger due to continued bombardments. Tamer Abu Shaaban mourned the loss of his young niece, who was killed by shrapnel while sheltering with family.
The ceasefire agreement, reached with the help of Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S., seeks to end the war sparked by Hamas’s attacks on Israel. It proposes an initial six-week ceasefire coupled with the withdrawal of Israeli forces. In exchange for the release of hostages taken by Hamas, hundreds of Palestinian prisoners will be freed.

Zelenskiy blames Moscow for stalling Geneva peace talks; negotiations to resume amid unresolved eastern territory and nuclear power plant disputes.
Two days of high-stakes negotiations in Geneva have ended without a breakthrough, as Ukraine and Russia failed to reach an agreement on key issues in the ongoing war. Despite international pressure, both sides walked away without a deal.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Moscow of deliberately stalling United States-mediated peace efforts, while Russia signalled it would not accept terms it sees as unfavourable. The White House says further talks are expected.
Major sticking points remain over territory in eastern Ukraine and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, with both sides rejecting proposals that would involve significant territorial concessions.

Iran strengthens military and nuclear sites amid US carrier presence, escalating fears of confrontation and internal dissent pressure.
Iran is ramping up military readiness as tensions with the United States intensify, with Tehran fortifying key nuclear sites and reviewing defence strategies amid the deployment of U.S. aircraft carriers in the region. Leaders in the Islamic Republic say they are prepared to respond to any imposed conflict, signalling a high-stakes standoff that could reshape regional security dynamics.
At the same time, the regime faces mounting domestic discontent, with security forces cracking down on dissent and carrying out widespread arrests following recent protests. While Iran insists it has made concessions toward a nuclear deal, Washington says key demands remain unmet, leaving negotiations in limbo and the country’s political future under strain.
