Donald Trump's 21-point plan to end Gaza war

^^ In all seriousness, Shebaz Sheriff spoke well though. However, Trump insulted Kier Starmer at the end

:klopp
 
Sharif loves trump so much he nominated him already for the 2025 nobel prize edition well in advance. Vigorous nodding of the head when Trump turns around and asks him if he will get a long with India nicely.

I wonder how Pakistan's great friend china and CCP feel about this bending over for America
 
Trump should get the Nobel peace prize for atleast pausing the mindless bloodshed.
Nobel prizes have been handed out for simply symbolism and no substance several times, this is a genuine result in saving lives.
 
  • Deputy PM Ishaq Dar says decision will follow Indonesia’s pledge to send 20,000 troops for Gaza mission
  • Says five Muslim nations believe Hamas will support 20-point agreement backed by eight countries
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar said on Tuesday the country’s leadership would decide whether to contribute troops to a special peacekeeping force in Gaza proposed under US President Donald Trump’s peace plan, adding that Palestinian law enforcement agencies would operate on the ground alongside the multinational contingent.

Foreign ministers of eight Muslim countries — Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Indonesia, Turkiye, Qatar, Egypt and Jordan — have backed Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan, pledging constructive engagement with Washington and all parties to finalize and implement the agreement.










The plan calls for a ceasefire, an exchange of hostages and prisoners, a staged Israeli withdrawal, Hamas disarmament and Gaza’s reconstruction with international support.

Trump discussed the proposal with Muslim leaders during a meeting in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly’s 80th session last week.

“Gaza peace plan envisaged deploying a peace force in Palestine,” Dar said during a media briefing.

“Pakistani leadership will decide on sending troops for the special peacekeeping force in Gaza, as Indonesia has announced the deployment of 20,000 troops for the purpose.”

Dar said Pakistan had urged that any such arrangement be documented at the United Nations, clarifying that it would be distinct from a UN peacekeeping mission and would constitute a special force dedicated solely to Gaza.

“The force would ensure external security, while internal law and order would be managed by Palestinian police and agencies,” he added.

The deputy prime minister said Muslim countries, along with the Palestinian Authority, had welcomed the Gaza peace plan, saying it envisioned an independent Palestinian government of technocrats in Gaza.

“It will be overseen by an international body, largely comprising Palestinians,” he added.

Responding to a question about whether Hamas would accept the deal, Dar said five countries believed the group would support the plan, particularly the one hosting its talks.

“We should trust their assurances,” he said.

Dar also emphasized that Pakistan had made no direct deal with Israel.

“We dealt with the United States and the United States dealt with Israel,” he said.

Reading from the joint statement issued by the eight Muslim countries, Dar said they had affirmed their readiness to engage “positively and constructively” with the United States and other parties to finalize the agreement and ensure its implementation in a way that guarantees peace, security and stability for the region’s peoples.

He said that alongside attending the UN General Assembly, Pakistan’s delegation had worked with like-minded nations to end the conflict in Gaza. The meeting with Trump and other Muslim leaders, Dar said, aimed to secure a ceasefire, ensure unhindered humanitarian aid, halt the forced displacement of Palestinians, facilitate the return of displaced persons, plan Gaza’s reconstruction and stop Israel’s attempts to annex the West Bank.

“The US president then proposed his team would work with the foreign ministers of the eight participating Muslim countries to devise a workable solution,” Dar said, adding that after receiving the 20-point plan document from Washington, the foreign ministers held several consultative meetings to provide their input, which was later submitted to the US side.

Dar said the joint statement by the eight countries welcoming the peace plan had been prepared in close consultation, led by the Saudi foreign minister, with Pakistan’s proposed changes incorporated into the final draft.

So does this mean Pakistan agreed to a US peace plan where Pak soldiers will play the role of security guard and push the Palestinians thereby creating a buffer zone between Gaza & IDF ?

In the 70's it was on behalf of Jordan and King Hussein, now it will be on behalf of Israel (by proxy via US/DJT)

yo @HalBass9 what's your take on this
 
Congratulations to Trump as he once again fooled muslim nations except Iran.... Now US giants corporations will enter Gaza in the name of re-development.... will not be surprised if US installed one more military base in Gaza
 
Mapping the rise in Israeli settler attacks across the occupied West Bank

While much of the globe’s attention remains on the Gaza ceasefire deal, less than 33 kilometres (21 miles) away, Israeli settlers, often backed by soldiers, continue daily assaults and raids across the occupied West Bank.

On Monday night, Israeli settlers uprooted 150 olive trees in the village of Bardala, in the northern Jordan Valley, destroying the livelihood of several families.

Settlers regularly seize Bardala’s land, burn property and destroy crops in an effort to take over Palestinian land, expand illegal Israeli settlements, and intimidate local communities into leaving.

Earlier on Monday, settlers attacked Palestinian farmers in Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem, injuring several of them. Witnesses said the attackers hurled stones, sicced dogs on people, and set fire to vehicles.


 
Indian media and opposition are seething.

The field Marshall they are labelling as killer and murderer and who they said fled the country during failed Operation Sindoor is now being toasted on every world forum.

Congress are rightly asking Modi what the hell happened to the so called Trump friendship. After all of the Hindu right prayer for Trump he has slapped them hard.

Fooled Muslim nations? almost every expert knew what was going on.

Arnab and Maj. Gaurav are fooling y'all
 
So, finally, all the Muslim nations bowed down to this 21-point plan and surrendered to Israel’s demands. :ROFLMAO:
The funniest part is Pakistan’s PM Shehzad first jumped to accept it, then took a U-turn and started praising Trump for the same deal.

Where are all those Pakistani folks who used to spend day and night on Palestine–Israel threads, breaking their keyboards while cursing the US and Israel? Now their leaders are sharing the bed with Trump, happily backstabbing the Palestinian cause.:D

So much for the Ummah unity and that mythical Arab–Islamic NATO. What a joke.
 
Hamas carries out public execution just Hours After Signing Peace Treaty with Israel

 
In the 70's it was on behalf of Jordan and King Hussein, now it will be on behalf of Israel (by proxy via US/DJT)

yo @HalBass9 what's your take on this
Both you and I know, other than IDF and American mercenaries, no other country will be allowed to set foot on that land.
 
I have never seen Pak posters here ever talk about Hamas. Wonder why?

:unsure:
 
what do you think the Pak establishment is?

Except for Afghanistan, where else have Pakistani troops ever been deployed on behalf of America? In the 1980s, it was a global collective effort to defeat the Soviets, and in the 2000s, it was a coalition mission, not a solo act by Pakistan.
 

BREAKING: Hamas must disarm - or we will disarm them, Trump warns​



Then what will happens to freedom of Palestine? Hamams is toothless then? Who will vote for them?

Trump now gathered so much confidence on the support of Pakistan and other Muslim nations to him
 
Hamas returns four more bodies of hostages

Israeli authorities have identified three of the four dead hostages returned by Hamas from Gaza on Tuesday.

The bodies of Tamir Nimrodi, 20, Eitan Levy, 53, and Uriel Baruch, 35, were part of the latest return, according to the Hostages Families Forum. Scientists are still working to identify the fourth body.

So far eight dead hostages' bodies have been sent back from Gaza. Hamas has yet to return a further 20 bodies as agreed under a ceasefire deal brokered by the US.

Israel has been frustrated by the slow return of bodies, and has threatened to further restrict humanitarian aid into Gaza until all the hostages' remains were returned. Hamas says it has had difficulty locating the remains.

The bodies of four more hostages are expected to be transferred from Gaza later on Wednesday, according to Israeli media.

Hamas handed back all 20 living hostages on Monday. The remains of 45 dead Palestinians who had been held in Israel were returned to Gaza on Tuesday, the Red Cross said in a statement.

US President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan, which both Israel and Hamas accepted, envisaged the handover of all 48 hostages would be completed by noon on Monday.

Palestinians are increasingly worried that a delay in Hamas returning the bodies could bring uncertainty to the future of the ceasefire.

In a statement on Tuesday, the IDF said: "Hamas is required to fulfil its part of the agreement and make the necessary efforts to return all the hostages to their families and to proper burial."

Israel's defence minister has warned the Palestinian armed group that "any delay or deliberate avoidance will be considered a gross violation of the agreement and will be responded to accordingly".

Israeli officials said they had decided to restrict aid and delay plans to open the Rafah border crossing with Egypt because Hamas had violated the ceasefire deal by failing to turn over bodies of hostages.

A copy of the ceasefire agreement, published by Israeli media last week, appeared to acknowledge that Hamas and other Palestinian factions might not be able to locate all of the bodies within the original timeframe.

An Israeli official has suggested that an international task force will start work to locate the remains of anyone who was not returned.

"A big burden has been lifted, but the job is NOT DONE. THE DEAD HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED, AS PROMISED! Phase two begins right NOW!!!" Trump said on X.

Many Palestinians have told the BBC they are worried the delay in Hamas' return of all bodies of Israeli hostages and the subsequent violence could risk the ceasefire and derail the start of the second phase of negotiations.

Tayseer Abed, a well-known Gaza writer who has chronicled the war from his tent in Khan Younis, described the standoff as "a dangerous test for the ceasefire", warning that if the delay continued and Israel refused to move to the next phase, "the corpses issue could become the fuse that ignites a new round of conflict".

Almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees were released as part of the 20-point peace plan, touted by the US president as the end of the two-year war.

The first phase of Trump's plan saw the ceasefire come into effect at 12:00 (09:00 GMT) on 10 October.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CBS, the BBC's US partner, that he remained hopeful for a peaceful next phase in the talks between Israel and Hamas.

But he said Trump's conditions were "very clear" that Hamas must demilitarise or "all hell breaks loose".

"First, Hamas has to give up its arms," Netanyahu said. "And second, you want to make sure that there are no weapons factories inside Gaza. There's no smuggling of weapons into Gaza. That's demilitarisation."

Trump also added pressure on Hamas to give up arms. "They're going to disarm, because they said they would disarm. And if they don't disarm, we will disarm them," the US president said.

While the ceasefire has largely held, Palestinian Civil Defence told the BBC that seven people were killed by Israeli forces on Tuesday in two separate incidents - in eastern Gaza and to the east of Khan Younis.

An Israeli drone strike in Gaza's eastern Shejaiya neighbourhood killed five people, says Wafa news agency, which quoted a medical source saying "Israeli drones fired at residents inspecting their homes". The Israeli military said it fired after people crossed the yellow line, where its troops have withdrawn to under Trump's ceasefire plan.

Meanwhile, Hamas fighters demonstrated they were reasserting control in Gaza, with reports of masked gunmen executing eight Palestinians in public triggering fear and outrage among residents.

While Hamas maintains that its fighters are working to "restore security" and "eliminate lawlessness," many fear the group is using the chaos to settle scores with rivals and silence critics.

Trump signed the declaration on Monday, alongside the leaders of Egypt and Qatar - the main mediators - and Turkey, which played a significant role in the latter stages of indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas.

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron were among more than 20 world leaders attending - including many from Muslim and Arab countries. Netanyahu and Hamas did not take part.

The plan would see Gaza initially governed by a transitional committee of Palestinian technocrats overseen by the "Board of Peace", before power is eventually transferred to the Palestinian Authority once it has undergone reforms.

But difficult negotiations will be needed in order to move forward with the latter phases of the plan.

Among the points of contention are the extent and timeline of Israeli troop withdrawal, the disarmament of Hamas, and the future governance of the Gaza Strip.

Hamas has previously said it will not disarm unless a Palestinian state was established - and has rejected the idea of foreign governance in Gaza.

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

At least 67,869 people have been killed by Israeli military operations in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

If Hamas and the people of Palestine have some grey matter, they'll make sure something as heinous as what Hamas did doesn't take place ever again.​

Gaza death toll from Israeli attacks rises, despite ceasefire

The Israeli army continues sporadic attacks on Palestinians despite ceasefire, our team on the ground reports, as health ministry reports more killed in the last day.

Hamas has handed over the bodies of four more Israelis to the Red Cross, bringing the number of released deceased captives to eight. Three bodies have been identified by family, while Israeli army says fourth does not match any recorded captive.

We have asked in detail to @cricketjoshila why Modi doesn't proscribe them, and when he tried to answer, the Indian government blocked his access to PP.

After that we dropped the topic as we don't want you guys banned.

Hamas returns remains of two more hostages but says more time needed to reach others

Hamas says it has handed over the bodies of two more Israeli hostages under the terms of the US-brokered ceasefire deal, but says it needs time and specialised equipment to recover the rest of the deceased from the ruins of Gaza.

The group's armed wing said in a statement it was committed to the deal but had returned all the bodies of hostages it was able to reach.

US President Donald Trump has said Israeli forces could resume fighting in Gaza if Hamas does not uphold the agreement.

In a statement, the Israeli PM's office said Israel had received - through the Red Cross - coffins containing the bodies of hostages which were now awaiting official identification.

"The IDF urges the public to act with sensitivity and wait for official identification, which will first be communicated to the families of the deceased hostages," the statement said.

Senior US advisors providing an update on the implementation of the 20-point peace plan said that the US government did not so far believe Hamas had broken the agreement by not retrieving the remains of remaining deceased hostages.

The advisors argued that Hamas had acted in good faith by returning the live hostages and was working with various interlocutors to find and return the remains of hostages.

If the two bodies returned on Wednesday night are confirmed to be hostages, that would mean 19 are still unaccounted for in Gaza. Hamas is required to return all 28 dead hostages as part of the first phase of the Gaza peace plan.

But Hamas's armed wing said in a statement "the remaining bodies require significant efforts and specialised equipment to search for and retrieve, and we are making a great effort to close this file".

Earlier, Israel said it would "not compromise" on hostage returns, saying "the mission is not complete".

Israel's defence minister said he had instructed the IDF to prepare a "comprehensive plan" to defeat Hamas in Gaza in the event of a renewal of the war.

After meeting senior generals on Wednesday, Israel Katz said the military must be prepared to act if Hamas refuses to implement the peace plan.

The latest repatriations came after Israel said one of four bodies returned by Hamas on Tuesday was not one of the missing hostages.

The other three deceased were identified as Tamir Nimrodi, 20, Eitan Levy, 53, and Uriel Baruch, 35, the Hostages Families Forum said.

Earlier on Wednesday UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher urged Israel to immediately open all crossings into Gaza for humanitarian aid, as called for in the ceasefire plan.

In a post on X, Fletcher said Hamas must "make strenuous efforts to return all the bodies of the deceased hostages".

He added: "As Israel has agreed, they must allow the massive surge of humanitarian aid - thousands of trucks a week - on which so many lives depend, and on which the world has insisted."

He called for "more crossings open and a genuine, practical, problem-solving approach to removing remaining obstacles" and said "withholding aid from civilians is not a bargaining chip".

Trump's ceasefire plan, which both Israel and Hamas accepted, envisaged the handover of all 48 hostages would be completed by noon on Monday. Hamas returned all the 20 living hostages on Monday.

But the US-brokered ceasefire agreement appears to acknowledge that Hamas and other Palestinian factions may not have been able to find all hostage remains before the initial deadline on Monday.

Under the agreement, Israel also agreed to hand over the bodies of 15 Palestinians in return for every deceased Israeli hostage.

Israel has returned the bodies of a further 45 Palestinians, the Hamas-run health ministry confirmed on Wednesday, bringing the total number of bodies released by Israel to 90.

Meanwhile in Gaza, residents report growing concern about the durability of the ceasefire - and food prices have surged as Palestinians stockpile food.

Traders and suppliers in the enclave have been hoarding food items to create shortages and drive up profits, fearing that the war could resume, local residents told the BBC.

"Every time we start to feel safe, new threats appear, and we fear the war will start all over again," says mother-of-six Neven Al-Mughrabi, a displaced resident from Gaza who lives in Khan Younis.

"I lost my house in Gaza City, I decided to stay here with my family because I don't trust the ceasefire and we're sick of displacement."

She added that a trader in Khan Younis's main market said demand for flour, oil and sugar had surged within hours. "Despite the sudden rise of prices by about 30%, people are buying as if they don't trust the calm will last long, everyone is afraid aid will stop," Neven says.

The US advisors also said the US was working with Israel to create "safe spaces" behind the yellow-line for people to flee if they feel under threat from Hamas.

In the longer-term, the advisors said they did not see a future for Hamas to govern parts of Gaza.

The current focus, according to the advisors, is on "de-confliction" that would allow aid to flow into Gaza and reconstruction to begin, with an international security force still in its early stages.

Still Palestinians are killed, whats the use of ceasefire? US is a trader and they always fooled these Muslim nations since 1930 when ARMACO oil agreement made with Saudis...

Muslim nations should have foreign policy like Iran as they refused to join this so-called ceasefire and its celebration
 
Palestinian bodies returned by Israel show signs of torture and execution, say doctors

Many of the 90 bodies of Palestinians returned to Gaza by Israeli authorities under the ceasefire deal showed signs of torture and execution, including blindfolds, cuffed hands and bullet wounds in the head, according to doctors’ accounts.

As part of the US-brokered truce, Hamas has handed over the bodies of some of the hostages who died during the course of the war, and Israel has transferred the bodies of two groups of 45 Palestinians killed during the fighting. The exchange was carried out through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

Doctors at Nasser hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, which received the Palestinian bodies from the ICRC, said on Wednesday there was substantial evidence of beatings and summary executions, and that none of the bodies were identifiable.

“Almost all of them had been blindfolded, and had been bound up and they had gunshots between the eyes. Almost all of them had been executed,” said Dr Ahmed al-Farra, the head of Nasser hospital’s paediatric department.

“There were also scars and discoloured patches of skin showing they had been beaten before being killed. There were also signs that their bodies had been abused after they were killed.”

Farra added that the bodies had been handed over by the Israeli authorities with no identification, and the hospitals in Gaza, heavily bombed over the course of two years of war, had no means of doing DNA analysis.

“They know the identity of these bodies but they want the families to suffer even more about these victims,” the doctor said.

Nasser hospital authorities said the bodies, which had been kept in refrigerators in Israel, were returned with numbered labels but no names. Doctors said they were asking relatives of missing Palestinian men to help identify the bodies.

The Israel Defense Forces referred an inquiry on the allegations to the Israel Prison Service, which the Guardian has approached for comment.

The international criminal court is investigating war crime allegations by both sides in the two-year Gaza war, including the killing of 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers whose bodies were found in a shallow grave in March.

Hospital authorities said the victims in that case had had their hands and feet bound and had been shot in the head.

The return of bodies by both sides in the conflict has proved a major stumbling block in implementation of the ceasefire that came into effect over the weekend. Israel announced it would slow down the supply of humanitarian aid entering Gaza because of delays in the transfer of 28 bodies of Israel hostages believed to have been killed during the war, and said that one of the bodies which had been handed over was not one of the hostages.

On Wednesday evening, Hamas said it had handed back the remains of all the deceased hostages that it can reach, as the Israeli military confirmed the Red Cross had received two more bodies in Gaza.

The militant group had already returned the remains of seven of 28 known deceased hostages – along with an eighth body that Israel said was not that of a former hostage.

 
Netanyahu 'determined' to pressure Hamas to find remaining dead hostages

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 signalled 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 choice but to go in and kill", seemingly referencing reports of violence inside Gaza, where Hamas has been accused of violently targeting internal rivals in recent days.

Trump has previously ruled out putting American soldiers on the ground in Gaza.

Earlier on Thursday, the Israeli government confirmed that two bodies handed over by Hamas to the International Committee of the Red Cross on Wednesday night had been identified as Inbar Hayman and Sgt Maj Muhammad al-Atarash.

Their return, which was overseen by masked Hamas gunmen in Gaza City, took the number of dead hostages returned since Monday to nine out of 28.

All 20 living hostages were released on Monday, in exchange for 250 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and 1,718 detainees from Gaza.

Hamas's military wing said on Wednesday that it would continue to search for the remaining bodies, but that it would require major efforts and specialist equipment.

Israel has responded to the delay by threatening to restrict the amount of aid flowing into Gaza.

On Thursday, Netanyahu addressed an official memorial ceremony at the Mount Herzl national cemetery in Jerusalem, two days after the Hebrew calendar anniversary of the 7 October attack.

The prime minister said he remained committed to securing the return of all the dead Israeli and foreign hostages, and reiterated his government's willingness to return to military action if Israel was attacked again.

He said: "Our fight against terrorism will continue with full force. We will not allow evil to raise its head. We will exact the full price from anyone who harms us."

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the 7 October attack, in which Hamas-led gunmen killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel and took 251 others hostage.

At least 67,967 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the territory's health ministry, whose figures are seen by the UN as reliable.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum in Israel said Netanyahu's government should "immediately halt the implementation" of the ceasefire deal until the 19 bodies were returned.

After Hamas said it was unable to retrieve all the bodies, two senior advisers to US President Donald Trump said preparations to move to the next phase of the ceasefire deal were continuing.

The advisers told reporters that the US government did not so far believe Hamas had broken the agreement by not retrieving more remains, and said the group had acted in good faith by sharing information with interlocutors.

While the full text of the agreement between Israel and Hamas has not been made public, a leaked version which appeared in Israeli media appeared to allow for the possibility that not all of the bodies would be immediately accessible.

One senior US adviser pointed to the level of destruction in Gaza as one reason the search might be slowed, and said rewards could be offered to civilians with information about the location of remains.

Hamas has complained to mediators that more than 20 people have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect on Friday.

Israel's military, which still controls more than half the territory, has said that it opens fire to remove threats to its troops.

Meanwhile in Gaza, work is under way to identify the bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel in recent days in exchange for the hostages' bodies. A further 30 were returned on Thursday, taking the total to 120.

There had been some reports that the Rafah crossing with Egypt would reopen on Thursday, having been shut since the Gaza side was seized by Israeli forces in May 2024.

The ceasefire deal specifies its reopening would be "subject to the same mechanism implemented" during a temporary ceasefire earlier this year, when wounded Palestinians were briefly allowed to pass through to receive medical treatment.

On Thursday, an official from Israeli military body Cogat said: "The date for the opening of the Rafah crossing for the movement of people only will be announced at a later stage, once the Israeli side, together with the Egyptian side, completes the necessary preparations."

The official also stressed that "aid will not pass through the Rafah crossing". Instead, they said, it would continue to enter Gaza through the nearby Kerem Shalom crossing in southern Israel and other crossings following Israeli security inspections.

Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Pakistan in talks to provide troops for Gaza stabilization force

Indonesia, Azerbaijan and Pakistan are the top contenders to supply troops for a future stabilization force in the Gaza Strip, according to a U.S. defense official and a former U.S. defense official granted anonymity to discuss sensitive ongoing discussions.

Negotiations on the makeup of the force are ongoing, and no country has made a firm commitment, the current U.S. defense official said.

These are the countries that have expressed the most interest, the U.S. defense official said. Trump’s 20-point plan for peace in Gaza says the U.S. will work with Arab and other partners to deploy a temporary stabilization force that will train and support vetted Palestinian police forces and will consult with Egypt and Jordan on the effort. The U.S. has said no American troops will be inside Gaza.

The so-called international stabilization force is a crucial component to Trump’s plan to end the war between Hamas and Israel and pave the way for Gaza’s ultimate demilitarization and reconstruction.

At a minimum, standing up such a force is months away. Many diplomats and analysts are skeptical that Trump’s plan will ever move out of its current phase, a ceasefire in exchange for the release of all of the remaining hostages in Israel.

“It’s a two to three month prospect from the day the decision is reached” on who will participate, said Dan Shapiro, who was the top official on the Middle East at the Pentagon during the Biden administration.

The White House and the embassies of Indonesia, Pakistan and Azerbaijan didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

The U.S. has sent 200 troops to Israel to help coordinate the effort to maintain the ceasefire and stabilize the enclave. The troops — under U.S. Central Command — will be stationed at a civil-military coordination center, to be located north of Gaza in Israel. Egyptian, Qatari and Emirati troops are also expected to be located at the coordination center. Egyptian forces are currently helping retrieve bodies of deceased hostages in Gaza.

The former defense official said that coordinating with Indonesia and Azerbaijan adds a layer of complexity to the stabilization effort because they are not in CENTCOM’s area of responsibility.

Asked about the burgeoning plans, the Pentagon referred to CENTCOM, and a spokesperson for the command declined to comment.

Other aspects of the transition also have yet to be set up. So far the Trump administration has not announced any other technical teams or coordinating bodies from the State Department or other parts of the U.S. government to make sure the effort moves along.

Hamas agreed to a peace deal Oct. 8 and released its 20 remaining hostages earlier this week but has only transferred seven of 28 bodies of those who died in captivity. Israel said Hamas is violating the deal by delaying the return of the deceased captives.

The U.S. and its allies are now trying to execute the next phase of the plan — getting Hamas to give up its arms.

“Everyone says, ‘Oh, well, they won’t disarm.’ They will disarm,” President Donald Trump said Tuesday at a White House event with the Argentinian president. “I spoke to Hamas, and I said, ‘You’re going to disarm, right?’ ‘Yes, sir, we’re going to disarm.’ That’s what they told me. They will disarm or we will disarm them. Got it?”

Shapiro, the former Biden official, argued that establishing the contours of a stabilization force now can help to dispel cynicism surrounding the U.S. ability to move the effort into the next phase.

“It’s important to show momentum. It’s important to identify these countries, have them step forward, have the mandate agreed upon, have the structure agreed upon and demonstrate that the troops are actually being prepared for deployment,” he said.

 
‘UN died in Gaza’ as it failed to stop children dying of starvation: UN expert

Michael Fakhri, the UN special rapporteur on the right to food, says “the UN died in Gaza” when two Palestinian children – two-month-old Mahmoud Fattouh and Yazan al-Kafarneh, 10 – died of starvation in February and March last year.

Speaking during a UN General Assembly committee hearing in New York City, Fakhri said, “These were the first children to have reportedly been killed by malnutrition, dehydration and hunger during Israel’s recent starvation campaign in Gaza,”

“When a parent is helplessly holding their starving child in their arms, looking into their child’s eyes, who is dying from hunger, it indicates an entire society is under attack, and that famine is taking hold. Every time any child dies from hunger, dehydration and malnutrition, the world slips more into the abyss,” the UN expert said.

“You have listened to Israel announce its genocidal intentions, and witnessed Israel’s genocidal actions against the Palestinian people in Gaza. You have witnessed Israel conduct the fastest starvation campaign in modern history. Even with this current ceasefire, Israel’s starvation campaign continues. Israel’s genocide, occupation and Nakba in Palestine has not ended,” Fakhri added.

He called on the General Assembly to pass a resolution recommending UN peacekeepers accompany humanitarian convoys into Gaza. “If peacekeepers are not used to stop starvation and genocide, then what else are we doing here?”

Israel confirms latest body returned from Gaza is dead hostage​


Israel's military has confirmed that the latest remains handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza and returned to Israel are those of a dead hostage.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the returned hostage is Eliyahu Margalit, 75, who was killed on 7 October and his body taken into Gaza from Nir Oz kibbutz.

Mr Margalit, who was known to his family and friends as Churchill, is the 10th dead hostage to be returned from Gaza. The remains of another 18 people have yet to be repatriated.

The bodies of 15 Palestinians were handed over by Israel via the Red Cross to officials in Gaza on Saturday, the Hamas-run health ministry said, bringing the total number of bodies it has received to 135.

Israel's Hostages and Missing Families Forum described Mr Margalit in a statement as "a cowboy at heart" who managed a cattle branch and horse stables at Nir Oz for many years.

His death was announced by Israel in December 2023, a month after his daughter Nili - who was also taken hostage - was released during a temporary truce.

There has been fury in Israel that Hamas has not returned all of the bodies, in line with last week's ceasefire deal - though the US has downplayed the suggestion it amounts to a breach.

On Friday night, the IDF again stressed that Hamas must "uphold the agreement and take the necessary steps to return all the hostages".

Hamas has blamed Israel for making the task difficult because Israeli strikes have reduced so many buildings to rubble and it does not allow heavy machinery and diggers into Gaza to be able to search for the hostages' bodies.

UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher told the BBC News Channel that the Gaza Strip "is now a wasteland", with people picking through the rubble for bodies and trying to find their homes - many of which have been flattened.

He added that aid agencies have "an enormous job ahead of us to stabilise the situation, to stop the starvation, to get the hospitals open, to get the kids back in school".

"We've started to do that and we're having an impact already but being here on the ground, it's an overwhelming task," he said, speaking from Gaza City.

US plays down claims Hamas is violating ceasefire deal

As part of the US-brokered ceasefire deal, Israel freed 250 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and 1,718 detainees from Gaza.

After Hamas said it was unable to retrieve all the bodies, two senior Trump advisers said preparations to move to the next phase of the ceasefire deal were continuing.

The advisers told reporters that the US government did not so far believe that Hamas had broken the agreement by not retrieving more remains, and said the group had acted in good faith by sharing information with interlocutors.

While the full text of the agreement between Israel and Hamas has not been made public, a leaked version which appeared in Israeli media appeared to allow for the possibility that not all of the bodies would be immediately accessible.

Several Palestinians have been reported killed since the ceasefire came into effect.

Gaza's Civil Defence, run by Hamas, said on Saturday it had recovered nine bodies after a bus carrying displaced people was targeted by the IDF to the east of the Zeitoun neighbourhood in Gaza City, in the north, on Friday. It said 11 people were killed in total.

The IDF said a "suspicious vehicle was identified crossing the yellow line and approaching IDF troops operating in the northern Gaza Strip" on Friday, prompting it to fire "warning shots" towards the vehicle.

It said the vehicle "continued to approach the troops in a way that caused an imminent threat to them" and "troops opened fire to remove the threat, in accordance with the agreement".

The IDF has warned Palestinians from entering areas in Gaza still under its control - though the line is not clearly demarcated.

The Israeli military continues to operate in more than half of the Gaza Strip, under the terms of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement. Under the next stages of the ceasefire, troops are expected to pull out further.

Eleven killed after Israel hits bus in Gaza, Hamas-run civil defence says​


Gaza's Hamas-run civil defence says 11 people were killed, all from the same family, after the bus they were in was hit by an Israeli tank shell in northern Gaza.

The Abu Shaaban family, it said, were trying to reach their home to inspect it when the incident happened in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City on Friday night.

This is the deadliest single incident involving Israeli soldiers in Gaza since the start of the ceasefire eight days ago.

The Israeli military said soldiers had fired at a "suspicious vehicle" that had crossed the so-called yellow line demarcating the area still occupied by Israeli forces in Gaza.

Israeli soldiers continue to operate in more than half of the Gaza Strip, under the terms of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement.

Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP news agency the victims were members of the Abu Shaaban family and were killed while "trying to check on their home" in the area.

The dead included women and children, according to the civil defence.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said a "suspicious vehicle was identified crossing the yellow line and approaching IDF troops operating in the northern Gaza Strip" on Friday, prompting it to fire "warning shots" towards the vehicle.

It said the vehicle "continued to approach the troops in a way that caused an imminent threat to them" and "troops opened fire to remove the threat, in accordance with the agreement."

Hamas said the family had been targeted without justification.

The IDF has warned Palestinians from entering areas in Gaza still under its control.

With limited internet access, many Palestinians do not know the position of Israeli troops as the yellow demarcation line is not physically marked, and it is unclear if the area where the bus was travelling did cross it.

The BBC has asked the IDF for coordinates of the incident.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Friday the army would set up visual signs to indicate the location of the line.

In a separate development, Hamas on Friday released the body of Israeli hostage Eliyahu Margalit to the Red Cross, which returned it to Israel.

Mr Margalit was the tenth deceased hostage to be returned from Gaza. The remains of another 18 people are yet to be repatriated.

Israel handed the bodies of 15 more Palestinians over to officials in Gaza via the Red Cross, the Hamas-run health ministry said, bringing the total number of bodies it has received to 135.

There has been anger in Israel that Hamas has not returned all of the dead hostages' bodies, in line with last week's ceasefire deal - though the US has downplayed the suggestion it amounts to a breach.

The IDF has stressed that Hamas must "uphold the agreement and take the necessary steps to return all the hostages".

Hamas has blamed Israel for making the task difficult because Israeli strikes have reduced so many buildings to rubble and it does not allow heavy machinery and diggers into Gaza to be able to search for the hostages' bodies.

As part of the US-brokered ceasefire deal, Israel freed 250 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and 1,718 detainees from Gaza.

Hamas also returned all 20 living hostages to Israel.

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the 7 October 2023 attack, in which Hamas-led gunmen killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel and took 251 others hostage.

At least 67,900 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures are seen by the UN as reliable.

US says Hamas is planning 'imminent' attack on Gaza civilians

The US State Department says it has "credible reports" that Hamas is planning an "imminent" attack on civilians in Gaza, which it says would violate the ceasefire agreement.

A statement released on Saturday said a planned attack against Palestinians would be a "direct and grave" violation of the ceasefire agreement and "undermine the significant progress achieved through mediation efforts".

The state department did not not provide further details on the attack and it is unclear what reports it was citing.

The first phase of the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel is currently in progress - all living hostages have been released and bodies of the deceased are still being returned to Israel.

Also part of the agreement, Israel freed 250 Palestinian prisoners in its jails and 1,718 detainees from Gaza.

Washington said it had already informed other guarantors of the Gaza peace agreement - which include Egypt, Qatar and Turkey - and demanded Hamas uphold its end of the ceasefire terms.

"Should Hamas proceed with this attack, measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire," the statement said.

Hamas has not yet commented on the statement.

President Donald Trump has previously warned Hamas against the killing of civilians.

"If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them," Trump said in a post on Truth Social earlier this week.

He later clarified that he would not be sending US troops into Gaza.

Last week, BBC Verify authenticated graphic videos that showed a public execution carried out by Hamas gunmen in Gaza.

The videos showed several men with guns line up eight people, whose arms were tied behind their backs, before killing them in a crowded square.

BBC Verify could not confirm the identity of the masked gunmen, though some appeared to be wearing the green headbands associated with Hamas.

On Saturday, Israel said it had received two more bodies from Gaza that Hamas said are hostages, though they have yet to be formally identified.

So far, the remains of 10 out of 28 deceased hostages had been returned to Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday said the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt would remain closed until Hamas returns the remaining bodies.

The Rafah crossing is a vital gateway for Palestinians who need medical assistance to leave Gaza, and for thousands of others to return.

Separately on Saturday, 11 members of one Palestinian family were killed by an Israeli tank shell, according to the Hamas-run civil defence ministry, in what was the deadliest single incident involving Israeli soldiers in Gaza since the start of the ceasefire.

The Israeli military said soldiers had fired at a "suspicious vehicle" that had crossed the so-called yellow line demarcating the area still occupied by Israeli forces in Gaza.

There are no physical markers of this line, and it is unclear if the bus did cross it. The BBC has asked the IDF for the coordinates of the incident.

At least 68,000 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures are seen by the UN as reliable.

In September, a UN commission of inquiry said Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Israel categorically rejected the report as "distorted and false".

Israel strikes Gaza and halts aid, accusing Hamas of attacks in gravest test of truce so far

Israel launched a series of strikes in Gaza on Sunday and said it was halting aid into the enclave in response to attacks on its forces, the military said, in the most serious test yet of this month's U.S.-brokered ceasefire.

As Israel-Hamas clashes test Trump's Gaza peace deal, Vance, Witkoff and Kushner all head to region​


The fragile peace deal President Trump spearheaded between Israel and Hamas in Gaza appeared on Monday to have survived serious threats over the weekend. The top U.S. officials who helped negotiate the ceasefire and hostage release agreement — senior envoy Steve Witkoff and Mr. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner — were back in Israel on Monday to help ensure it does not unravel.

Israel struck multiple targets inside Gaza after a deadly attack on Israeli soldiers. Hamas has rejected Israel's claim that it was involved in that attack.

On Monday, the skies over Gaza were quiet again in the wake of the gravest threat since the ceasefire there came into effect on Oct. 10. Hamas and Israel accused each other of violating the terms of Mr. Trump's peace plan over the weekend, but both sides recommitted to the process on Monday.

For a couple tense days, however, war was back in Gaza. Local health officials in the Hamas-ruled Palestinian territory said 45 people were killed in Israeli strikes.

Speaking Monday in Israel's parliament, the Knesset, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military had dropped almost 169 tons of bombs in Gaza over the weekend.

"One of our hands holds a weapon, the other hand is stretched out for peace," he told lawmakers. "You make peace with the strong, not the weak. Today Israel is stronger than ever before."

The Israel Defense Forces said it launched the attack after two soldiers were killed when Hamas operatives opened fire with an RPG.

As mediators raced to get the peace process back on track, President Trump said the situation would be "handled toughly, but properly," and added that in his view, the ceasefire remained in effect.

Over the weekend, Palestinian families had come out to enjoy a quiet moment at a seaside café in Gaza, when cameras captured the moment that an Israeli strike shattered the peace.

Many feared the blood-soaked scenes left in the wake of the explosions were a sign that two years of relentless violence had resumed after just a week.

"We were drinking tea," said Salih Salman, "when suddenly people were bombed."

PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL-CONFLICT-GAZA
Smoke billows following an Israeli strike that targeted a building in the Bureij camp for Palestinian refugees in the central Gaza Strip, Oct. 19, 2025.
Once again Gaza's crippled hospitals filled up with dozens of injured in the wake of 1multiple Israeli strikes.

The IDF said it was targeting Hamas forces responsible for ceasefire violations, and it provided video purportedly showing armed Hamas fighters moving toward Israeli troops.

A media center in central Gaza was among the locations bombed, with the strike killing a cameraman and an engineer, and wounding three other people.

"We are all journalists here," protested Ajeb Mohamed at the scene. "No-one else can even enter here."

More than 220 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since the war started, according to the international advocacy group Reporters Without Borders.

Amid the renewed fighting and accusations over the weekend, an Israeli official said all humanitarian aid deliveries into Gaza would be suspended. On Monday, however, COGAT, the Israeli government agency that handles affairs in the Palestinian territories, told CBS News that the Kerem Shalom border crossing was open for aid to transit.

The United Nations and a number of humanitarian aid agencies have called repeatedly since the ceasefire came into effect for Israel to open all of the border crossings into Gaza to allow far more food, water, medicine, building materials and other essential items in.

The ingress of aid — which under the U.S. peace plan should be maximized under the ceasefire — is likely to be among the key issues as Witkoff and Kushner meet with Israeli officials this week to ensure the process stays on track. Vice President JD Vance is also due in Israel this week, and set to meet with Netanyahu.

Netanyahu met Monday with Witkoff and Kushner to discuss "developments and updates in the region," Shosh Bedrosian, a spokeswoman for Netanyahu's office said Monday.

She added that Vance and his wife were also expected in the country "for a few days and will be meeting with the prime minister," but neither she nor the White House have confirmed the Vances' arrival date.

Witkoff and Kushner were entrusted by Mr. Trump to broker the peace deal, and in an exclusive interview with 60 Minutes that aired on Sunday, they said an apology phone call from Netanyahu to Qatar's leader, about unprecedented airstrikes on the U.S. ally's capital, Doha, and a moment of personal connection between Witkoff and Hamas' top negotiator marked two key turning points that led to the ceasefire.

Trump Baldy want a Nobal peace prize, He would do anything for it no matter how many lies he had to tell. :klopp :kp
 
Pakistani general did, just as Modi helped with Gujrat massacre.

Most of the Pakistani on this forum were not even born at that time.

Y'all keep coming off as desperate, we get it y'all enjoyed the Gujrat massacre and now enjoying the Genocide.
And therefore that event holds no significance?

IMO this cease-fire was signed between Trump and other Muslim countries and Israel and Hamas aren't parties to this cease-fire
 
Vance arrives in Israel as US tries to strengthen Gaza ceasefire deal

US Vice-President JD Vance has arrived in Israel as part of the Trump administration's efforts to strengthen the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

He is expected to push the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to start negotiations on long-term issues for a permanent end to the war with Hamas.

The two special US envoys who helped negotiate the deal, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, also held talks with Netanyahu on Monday.

Their visits come after a flare-up of violence on Sunday that threatened to derail the 12-day-old truce. Israel said a Hamas attack killed two soldiers, triggering Israeli air strikes which killed dozens of Palestinians.

US President Donald Trump insisted on Monday that the ceasefire was still on track but also warned Hamas that it would be "eradicated" if it violated the deal.

Trump is said to have dispatched his deputy and envoys to Israel to keep up the momentum and push for the start of talks on the second critical phase of his 20-point Gaza peace plan.

It would involve setting up an interim government in the Palestinian territory, deploying an international stabilisation force, the withdrawal of Israeli troops, and disarmament of Hamas.

Vance, Witkoff and Kushner are also attempting to ensure the ceasefire deal, which is based on the first phase of the peace plan, does not collapse first.

The New York Times cited US officials as saying they were concerned that Israel's prime minister might "vacate" the deal and resume an all-out assault against Hamas.

Netanyahu told the Israeli parliament on Monday that he would discuss "security challenges" and "political opportunities" with Vance during his visit.

He also said Israeli forces had dropped 153 tonnes of bombs on Gaza in response to what he called a "blatant" breach of the ceasefire by Hamas on Sunday.

"One of our hands holds a weapon, the other hand is stretched out for peace," he said. "You make peace with the strong, not the weak. Today Israel is stronger than ever before."

The Israeli military blamed Hamas for an anti-tank missile attack on Sunday that killed two Israeli soldiers in southern Gaza and then carried out dozens of strikes across the territory which hospitals said killed at least 45 Palestinians.

Afterwards, the Israeli military said it was resuming enforcement of the ceasefire, while Hamas said it remained committed to the agreement.

However, four Palestinians were reportedly killed by Israeli fire east of Gaza City on Monday. The Israeli military said its troops fired towards " terrorists" who crossed the agreed-upon ceasefire line in the Shejaiya area.

Later, Trump told reporters at the White House: "We made a deal with Hamas that they're going to be very good. They're going to behave. They're going to be nice."

"If they're not, we're going to go and we're going to eradicate them, if we have to. They'll be eradicated, and they know that," he added.

Hamas's chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, who is in Cairo, meanwhile insisted that his group and other Palestinian factions were committed to the ceasefire deal and "determined to fully implement it until the end".

"What we heard from the mediators and the US president reassures us that the war in Gaza is over," he told Egypt's Al-Qahera News TV .

Hayya also said Hamas was serious about handing over the bodies of all the deceased hostages still in Gaza despite facing what he described as "extreme difficulty" in its efforts to recover them under rubble because of a lack of specialist equipment.

Overnight, Israeli authorities confirmed that Hamas had handed over the body of another deceased Israeli hostage to the Red Cross in Gaza.

The remains were identified as those of Tal Haimi, 41, who the Israeli military said was killed in Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October, which triggered the war.

That means 13 of the 28 hostages' bodies held in Gaza when the ceasefire took effect on 10 October have so far been returned.

Twenty living Israeli hostages were also released last week in exchange for almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees in Israeli jails.

There has been anger in Israel that Hamas has not yet returned all the dead hostages, with the Israeli prime minister's office saying that the group "was required to uphold its commitments".

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to the 7 October 2023 attack, in which Hamas-led gunmen killed about 1,200 people and took 251 others as hostages.

At least 68,216 have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

No Palestinian in Gaza ‘optimistic’ as ceasefire remains shaky

Amid the ongoing visit by the US vice president to Israel, many in Gaza remain wary of political efforts to help sustain the ceasefire.

“I don’t care about the US or politics entirely,” Adham al-Sayed told Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud in Gaza. “I’m concerned with how to lay food on the table and lead a normal stable life, in peace. That’s all what concerns me.”

Another resident, Zuhdi Abu Sharia, said nobody in the coastal enclave was “optimistic” these days.

“Every day is a rollercoaster. In the morning, we hear some news, in the evening we hear the opposite,” he said. “We wake up to hope and joy, yet sleep to sorrow and despair.”

ICJ says Israel must allow aid into blockaded Gaza, provide ‘basic needs’''

The United Nations court, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), has said Israel has an obligation to ensure the “basic needs” of the population in Gaza are met.

The panel of 11 judges said on Wednesday that Israel is forced to support the relief efforts provided by the United Nations in the bombarded Gaza Strip and its entities.

It includes UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, which Israel has banned from operating in Israel after accusing some of its staff of taking part in the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack.

As part of its findings, the ICJ said Israel has failed to show evidence that UNRWA also worked for Hamas as it claimed.

“The court finds that Israel has not substantiated its allegations that a significant part of UNRWA’s employees are ‘members of Hamas … or other terrorist factions’,” said ICJ President Yuji Iwasawa.
