Qatari Emir urges Trump to use US Influence for Gaza ceasefire and regional peace

May 15, 2025
It was another wave of multi-billion-dollar business deals for US President Donald Trump during his visit to Qatar, the second stop on his Middle East tour.

President Trump hailed the trade agreements including the largest ever order of planes from US-company Boeing.

It's the first time a sitting US president has made an official state visit to the gulf nation.

During a state dinner in Doha, the emir of Qatar has asked US President Donald Trump to use American pressure to bring peace in the region.

LIVE: Israel keeps pounding Gaza as Hamas reviews Trump’s plan to end war

Tuesday, 30 Sep 2025

Diplomatic sources have told Al Jazeera that Hamas’s negotiating team is studying US President Trump’s 20-point plan to end Israel’s war on Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he agreed to the plan in a news briefing with Trump at the White House, as Israeli forces continued to escalate attacks on the Gaza Strip, killing at least 11 people since dawn.

Palestinians in Gaza have said the plan raises many questions, including what a proposed international stabilisation force for the enclave might look like.

The plan has been welcomed by several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Italy, France and the United Kingdom, as well as the Palestinian Authority.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 66,055 people and wounded 168,346 since October 2023. Thousands more are believed to be buried under the rubble. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.

At least eight displaced Palestinians have been killed in overnight Israeli attacks on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, medical sources tell Al Jazeera.

Israeli forces are also destroying “infrastructure, residential houses, buildings, neighbourhoods, which is making it difficult for medical teams to reach injured people and those trapped under the rubble”, according to our team on the ground.

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud has called on the international community to take responsibility and end Israel’s war in his address to the UN General Assembly.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 65,549 people and wounded 167,518 since October 2023. Thousands more are believed to be buried under the rubble. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.

UN inquiry finds Israel’s war on Gaza to be genocide

Sep 16, 2025
The United Nations Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory has released a landmark report on Israel’s actions in Gaza.

It found Israel committed four of five acts of genocide under the 1948 Convention, holding it responsible for carrying out genocide against Palestinians.

The report states:
Palestinians suffered torture, sexual violence, forced displacement, and cultural destruction.

Israel imposed a siege on Gaza, cutting off food, water, power, and medical aid, starving Palestinians and ignoring orders of the International Court of Justice.

Israel deliberately inflicted conditions to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, including reproductive violence.

Its attack on Gaza’s largest IVF clinic destroyed thousands of embryos, sperm, and eggs -- a measure to prevent births.
These are the same four crimes that the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to “take all measures to prevent” in January 2024.

Since that ruling, nearly 40,000 Palestinians have been killed.

Navi Pillay, chair of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, announced the UN inquiry on Tuesday.
