Despite a flurry of Gaza ceasefire talks, mistrust remains - and it threatens any hope of peace
Wednesday, 14 August 2024 There's been a furious flurry of diplomatic activity in the Lebanesecapital Beirut ahead of crucial talks in Doha aimed at reaching a ceasefire deal in Gaza.
Hamas has rejected the final round of negotiations mediated by the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt for a ceasefire and hostage deal, heightening tensions in the Gaza conflict. The rejection undermines efforts by the Biden administration to broker peace. Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in Gaza, might be...
Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fierce warning to Israel amid escalating tensions and ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement. With over 4,000 lives lost in Lebanon since the conflict reignited, Qassem makes it clear: “We have options — and we fear nothing.”
In this powerful address, he underscores Hezbollah’s readiness to act, condemns Israeli expansionist ambitions, and calls out U.S. interference in Lebanese affairs. As the ceasefire teeters on the edge, Lebanon’s resistance signals that its patience has limits.

At least 58 people are dead and more than 120 injured after a U.S. airstrike hit Yemen’s Ras Isa oil terminal. A second strike killed first responders attempting to rescue survivors, prompting Yemen to call the attack a war crime. Civilian infrastructure, including oil facilities and aid workers, were targeted. While Washington claims the site was used by Houthi forces, Yemen strongly denies this and accuses the U.S. of supporting Israel’s war in Gaza. As President Trump escalates strikes across Yemen, the region edges closer to all-out war.

Hamas has declared it is ready to release all hostages—but only under a full ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, rejecting any partial or temporary truce. The group blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposed phased plan as a “deceptive war tactic” aimed at prolonging the conflict. As diplomatic channels scramble, the statement raises tensions and casts uncertainty over hopes for a breakthrough in negotiations.

Hezbollah has condemned Israel after Israeli fighter jets flew over the funeral procession of their leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in a dramatic and provocative show of force. The rare and highly charged incident occurred nearly five months after Nasrallah's death in an Israeli airstrike, sparking outrage among Hezbollah supporters. As thousands gathered in Beirut to pay their respects to the slain leader, the sound of Israeli F-16s flying overhead briefly drowned out the chants of the mourners.

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi issued a fiery warning, urging all Arab nations to arm every Palestinian in defense against what he calls the U.S.-enabled “genocidal war” on Gaza. He claims Washington is supplying Israel with weapons while turning a blind eye to mass civilian deaths, medical facility destruction, and Gaza's forced displacement. As Rafah faces encirclement, al-Houthi warns Egypt’s national security is at risk. The Houthis blame Arab regimes for past disarmament and call for immediate military support to Palestinian resistance groups. Israel, backed by the U.S., continues strikes across Gaza and Lebanon.

The White House has issued a clarification on the explosive 245% tariff targeting Chinese imports. The new addendum reveals a two-tier structure—some goods will face the full 245%, while others remain at 145% for now. Trump’s administration has unleashed a historic wave of tariffs, including legacy measures from his first term, Biden-era expansions, and new 2025 hikes. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian condemned U.S. pressure, warning of firm retaliation. From lithium batteries to squid and syringes, the fallout is just beginning. China says it’s open to talks—but not to blackmail.

Trump’s unexpected intervention has pushed Israel and Hamas back to the negotiating table. The intense pressure from Trump’s ultimatum, calling for a ceasefire extension and the release of hostages, has led both sides to resume high-stakes talks in Doha, Qatar. Israel has sent a delegation with the hope of securing the release of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander and others held by Hamas, in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire extension. While Israel seeks the safe return of hostages, Hamas is demanding further concessions, including the release of 24 presumed-living hostages and a permanent end to the war.
