Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on May 5 that his government had unanimously voted to close down the local offices of Al Jazeera, a broadcaster owned by Qatar.
Netanyahu announced the decision on X, formerly known as Twitter, but specifics regarding the implications, timing, and permanence of the closure remained unclear.
This move marks an escalation in Israel's longstanding dispute with Al Jazeera and raises tensions with Qatar, particularly significant as Qatar is actively involved in mediating efforts to end the conflict in Gaza.
Israel's contentious relationship with Al Jazeera stems from accusations of bias against the network.
Hamas ready to release all Israeli hostages at once in Gaza ceasefire negotiations. Hamas has announced its readiness to release all remaining Israeli hostages at once during the second phase of Gaza ceasefire negotiations, as reported by Al Jazeera. The group proposed exchanging all Israeli captives for Palestinian prisoners in a single exchange, aiming to secure a permanent truce and full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. The ceasefire deal, brokered by Egypt, Qatar, and the US, began on January 19. In the first phase, Hamas agreed to release 33 hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.

Hamas’s armed wing, an Israeli hostage—identified by local media as Elkana Bohbot—pleads for help, directly invoking former U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking from captivity in Gaza, Bohbot begs a friend to take his wife to the White House and ask Trump to secure his release. The video, which shows the hostage in a small room speaking on a landline, is the third such clip of him since March. It highlights the deepening psychological warfare in the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. While the authenticity of the call remains unverified, the footage has ignited shock and concern, as fears for the hostages' safety intensify amid continued Israeli airstrikes.

Netanyahu Vs. Trump: Israel is preparing a possible solo military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, even as former U.S. President Donald Trump urges diplomacy. In a bold move that could reshape Middle East dynamics, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is signaling that Israel will act alone if necessary. Trump has reportedly told Bibi he prefers a diplomatic route with Tehran — but Israel insists Iran's nuclear program must be dismantled now.

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.

President Donald Trump held his first Cabinet meeting of his second term, addressing major policies on government overhaul, Ukraine, immigration, and tariffs. Elon Musk, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), clarified his federal worker "pulse check" emails, while Trump hinted at mass layoffs and warned non-responders were “on the bubble.” Trump also unveiled his "gold card" visa plan, confirmed an upcoming Ukraine deal, and announced 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports. He remained non-committal on Taiwan, saying he “never comments” on such matters.

In a major development, Hamas says it is ready to release all Israeli hostages if a deal can be reached to end the war in Gaza. Senior official Taher Al-Nunu stated that the group seeks a serious prisoner swap, a full Israeli military withdrawal, and unrestricted humanitarian aid. Talks are ongoing in Cairo with mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S. involved. However, Hamas accuses Israel of stalling negotiations by refusing to commit to a sustainable ceasefire plan. The proposal now includes phased releases backed by U.S. guarantees.

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.
