Israel Violates Ceasefire With Deadly Attacks On Palestinians In Gaza

October 14, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
The Israeli army killed several Palestinians in Gaza on 14 October despite the new ceasefire agreement which has taken effect across the strip. In total, nine Palestinians were killed by Israeli ceasefire violations, Palestinian media reports said. Three bodies arrived at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, while another six arrived at Gaza City’s Baptist hospital. An Israeli quadcopter targeted civilians in Gaza City’s Shujaiya neighborhood while they were inspecting their homes. Israeli artillery also shelled areas in Jabalia and Al-Tarans, accompanied by gunfire. There was also gunfire reported in the Al-Tahlia area of Khan Yunis in south Gaza. Additionally, a group of young men near Al-Fukhari, east of Khan Yunis, was targeted by Israeli forces, resulting in one death.

Beware Trump’s Ceasefire Without United Nations Action

October 11, 2025 Nicolas J. S. Davies, Consortium News. , , , ,
As President Donald Trump surely intended, his “20-point Gaza plan” succeeded in upstaging calls by many other world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly for concrete, coordinated U.N.-led measures to force Israel to end its criminal genocide in Gaza and the illegal occupation of Palestine. Trump’s White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sept. 29 coincided with the last day of the annual meeting of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, where Trump had met with eight Arab and Muslim leaders at the U.N. and won their support for a proposed plan for Gaza. In a textbook bait-and-switch, Trump then allowed the Israelis to significantly alter his plan before he unveiled it to the world at his meeting with Netanyahu, but pretended it was the same plan that the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE and other countries had endorsed.

Yemen’s Houthis To ‘Monitor’ Israel Compliance With Gaza Ceasefire Deal

October 11, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. , , , , ,
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah, said on Thursday that Yemen will be “monitoring” Israel’s compliance with the Gaza ceasefire deal, warning Yemeni support for the Palestinians in Gaza would continue if the deal isn’t implemented. “We must be at the highest levels of caution and readiness, and continue the massive popular momentum with the Palestinian people, until we determine whether the agreement will be achieved, or whether we will continue our path of support and assistance to the Palestinian people,” al-Houthi said, according to Yemen’s SABA news agency. “We will remain vigilant, prepared, and monitor the progress of the agreement. Will it lead to an end to the aggression on the Gaza Strip and the entry of aid, food, medicine, and humanitarian needs to the Palestinian people?"

Joy And Trepidation In Gaza As Ceasefire Goes Into Effect

Celebrations have erupted in Gaza. People sing in the streets, families hug each other, and children dance — all smiling and joyfully expressing their happiness that a deal for a ceasefire, and hopefully an end to the genocide, has finally been announced. The agreement and the captives’ release were announced in the early morning hours in Palestine, and are only part of the first stage of U.S. President Trump’s plan. The agreement will see a ceasefire, the release of the remaining Israeli captives in Gaza, the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners, and the retreat of Israeli forces to an agreed-upon location. It is expected to be signed between Israel and Hamas on Thursday afternoon in Egypt and will immediately go into effect.

Hamas, Israel Agree To First Phase Of Gaza Ceasefire Under Trump Plan

October 9, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The newly announced ceasefire agreement, which was reached by mediators overnight, is set to take effect in Gaza on 9 October. Phase one of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan will begin in the coming hours and days. According to Israel’s Channel 14, the signing of the agreement will be followed by Israeli cabinet and government meetings to ratify the deal. The Israeli army will then carry out its first withdrawal from Gaza’s population centers, in line with the agreement’s withdrawal map. Twenty living Israeli captives will be released following 72 hours. In exchange, Tel Aviv is required to release 250 prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 Palestinians detained from Gaza since 7 October 2023.

Understanding Israel’s Attack On Qatar; What It Means For The Region

September 11, 2025 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Israel attacked the Qatari capital of Doha on Tuesday, killing six people. The target was a gathering of Hamas’ leadership who were meeting to consider the latest proposal from the United States for an end to the genocide and the release of the remaining Israeli hostages being held in Gaza. There is a lot to unpack in this attack. While there is neither evidence nor reason to believe the U.S. was directly involved, Washington’s claim that they were taken completely by surprise by the attack seems like only part of the story in light of some of President Donald Trump’s statements. Qatar, meanwhile, initially said it was suspending its role as mediator for talks between Israel, the U.S., and Hamas, but soon after said it would continue in that role, although its efforts are obviously hampered by the Israeli attack.

Israel Bombed Qatar To Assassinate Hamas’s Lead Ceasefire Negotiators

Israel attempted to assassinate top Hamas leaders in Qatar on Tuesday, after large explosions were heard in the capital city of Doha, and smoke columns rose from the building targeted in the attack. A joint statement by the Israeli army and Israel’s internal intelligence agency confirmed that it was targeting Hamas’s senior leadership in a “precise strike.” The statement added that the targeted leaders were “directly responsible” for the October 7 attack and that “measures were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians.” Israeli media said that the strike targeted the office of the lead Hamas negotiator in the ongoing ceasefire talks, Khalil al-Hayya, in addition to other members of the negotiating team.

United States Pulls Out Of Gaza Ceasefire Talks

July 27, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
The U.S. envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, said on Monday that the U.S. will consider “alternative options” to negotiating with Hamas following the breakdown of ceasefire talks between Israel and the resistance group. Witkoff’s statements came as part of his announcement of Washington’s withdrawal from the talks in Qatar, only a day after Hamas presented its response to the latest Witkoff proposal. Witkoff’s statement that the U.S. would find another way of securing “stability” in Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages in the Strip was later backed with a similar statement from President Trump, who said on Friday that Hamas “didn’t really want to make a deal.”

Gaza Ceasefire Talks Collapse Over Israel’s Occupation Demands

July 13, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israeli officials hit a deadlock in Doha, as Palestinian and Israeli sources say the talks are faltering over the scope of the proposed Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. The discussions are based on a US-backed framework for a 60-day ceasefire and the phased release of Israeli captives, but key issues remain unresolved. Hamas reportedly rejected Israeli-proposed maps that would leave 40 to 45 percent of the territory under occupation, including all of southern Rafah as well as parts of northern and eastern Gaza.

Iran’s Army Chief Expresses ‘Serious Doubts’ Israel Will Adhere To Ceasefire

June 29, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, expressed on 29 June his “doubt” that Israel will adhere to the ceasefire with Iran, indicating Tehran’s preparedness to respond to any violation. The comments came during a phone call with Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman. "We have serious doubts about the continuation of the ceasefire and are prepared to respond to any aggression,” Mousavi was quoted as telling the Saudi war chief. "Israel and the United States have proven their lack of commitment to any international rules and norms,” he went on to say. "We did not initiate the war, but we responded to the aggressor with all our might and are prepared to deliver a decisive response in the event of repeated attacks."

The Ceasefire With Iran Reveals The Limits Of Israel’s Power

June 24, 2025 Abdaljawad Omar, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
Much of the current crop of commentary on Israel’s war of aggression on Iran has adopted the familiar tone of breathless admiration: praise for its targeting precision, the elegance of its intelligence-gathering, the almost clinical efficiency with which it eliminates not only combatants but scientists, technicians, and — under the now-naturalized euphemism — “sites and infrastructure.” Israel’s opening salvo in the war was, by most conventional metrics, effective. The Iranians, caught off guard, scrambled to recalibrate. Though they gradually recovered some measure of initiative, their response bore the marks of persistence and attrition rather than dominance.

Israel Seeks ‘Quick End’ To War; Heavy Iranian Attacks Pummel Major Cities

June 23, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Israel is signaling an interest in concluding its war with Iran in the near future, according to Israeli and Arab officials who spoke with the Wall Street Journal. The effort comes after US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and another wave of Iranian missiles targeting Israel. Israeli officials said they believe the current military phase is nearing its conclusion and expect to finish striking the remaining targets in Iran within days. The goal, officials added, is to pressure Iran back to the negotiating table and secure a commitment to permanently abandon its nuclear program. On Monday, Iran conducted the 21st wave of missile and drone attacks on Israel, inflicting heavy damage in multiple cities.

Hamas Slams Fifth US Veto Of United Nations Gaza Ceasefire Resolution

June 5, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
Hamas condemned the US decision to veto a UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza on 4 June, labeling it a “green light” for Israel to continue its genocidal war against the strip. “The US veto embodies the US administration's blind bias towards the fascist occupation government and supports its crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip,” the Palestinian resistance movement said in a statement on Wednesday evening. The decision is “a green light for the war criminal Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court, to continue his brutal war of extermination against innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly,” the statement added, stressing that it confirms Washington's “full complicity in this ongoing crime.”

Russia, Ukraine Agree On Prisoner Swap But No Progress On Ceasefire

June 3, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. , , ,
Russian and Ukrainian officials held a second round of direct talks in Istanbul on Monday and agreed to move forward on another prisoner swap, but did not appear to make any progress toward a ceasefire or lasting peace deal as the two sides remain very far apart. Russia and Ukraine agreed to return the bodies of more than 12,000 soldiers, and up to 1,200 POWs from each side could also be exchanged. Each side released 1,000 POWs following the first round of talks in mid-May. During the talks on Monday, which lasted about an hour, Russia presented its terms for a peace deal, which include Ukrainian troops withdrawing from territory in the four oblasts Moscow annexed in 2022.

Trump Waves White Flag, Ends Yemen War In Omani-Mediated Truce

May 7, 2025 NewsDesk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
US President Donald Trump announced on 6 May that Washington will put a stop to its illegal war against Yemen, claiming that the Ansarallah-led Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) “don't want to fight anymore.” When pressed by reporters on the terms of the agreement with Sanaa, Trump claimed Yemeni officials “said please don't bomb us anymore.” Asked where he got that information, Trump said, “It doesn't matter where I heard it – a very good source.” Nevertheless, the Omani Foreign Ministry announced later that Muscat successfully brokered a ceasefire agreement between Washington and Sanaa that will see both sides end hostilities.
