And over the next 60 days, Israel will gradually withdraw its remaining forces. And civilians, civilians on both sides will soon be able to safely return to their communities.\"\n\nThe US has been a steadfast supporter of Israel, and Biden reiterated this stance claiming if \"Hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal and poses a direct threat to Israel, then Israel retains the right to self-defense.\"\n\nIt mirrors Netanyahu's statement following his recommendation to the Cabinet, where he warned that \u201cthe duration of the ceasefire depends on what will happen in Lebanon.\" \n\nThe Israeli prime minister added that in understanding with the US, Israel maintains full military freedom of action. \"If Hezbollah violates the agreement and tries to arm itself, we will attack. If it tries to renew terrorist infrastructure near the border - we will attack.\"\n\nMacron says agreement marks a 'new page' for Lebanon.\n\nBiden thanked France's president Emmanuel Macron for his partnership in reaching the deal, and said that the US would work together with France and others to provide assistance required for the successful implementation of the deal.\n\nSpeaking in a video message, Macron welcomed the ceasefire deal and said it marked a \"new page\" for Lebanon.\n\n\u201cIt is important that this ceasefire be respected, that it lasts in order to restore the security of the Lebanese, the security of Israelis, allow for the return of the displaced from both countries to their homes and allow for the restoration of the sovereignty of Lebanon.\u201d\n\nMacron emphasized that the restoration of Lebanon's sovereignty requires the election of a new president who is \"capable of bringing the Lebanese people together by the formation, as well, of a strong and representative government and by the adoption of necessary reforms for the economic and financial recovery of the country.\"\n\nOther world leaders also showed their support for the deal on social media platform X. \n\nLebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati said he welcomed the agreement, and thanked the US and France for their efforts made, Israel's President Isaac Herzog said the decision is both \"correct and important,\" and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen called the announcement \"very encouraging news.\"\n\nIsraeli opposition leader Yair Lapid criticized the deal, saying \"Netanyahu does not know how to bring security to Israel,\" and stressed the urgency of sealing a hostage deal. \n\nBiden's announcement came moments before an Israeli airstrike rocked the Lebanese capital of Beirut. In the hours leading up to the Cabinet meeting, Israel issued a record number of evacuation warnings, and local authorities claim strikes across Lebanon killed at least 24 on Tuesday. \n\nIsrael had previously signalled that they would continue their attacks up until the implementation of the ceasefire deal at 4 AM local time on Wednesday. \n\nHezbollah also fired rockets on Tuesday, triggering air raid sirens across the north of Israel.\n\nThe deal does not address the war in Gaza\n\nThe pause in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah does not encompass Israel's war in Gaza, however Biden expressed hope that the ceasefire deal would be catalyst to also reach an agreement between Israel and Hamas.\n\nBiden said the US will work together with Turkey, Egypt, Qatar and Israel \"in coming days\" to reach an agreement between Israel and the militant group Hamas. \n\n\"Just as the Lebanese people deserve a future of security and prosperity, so do the people of Gaza. They, too, deserve an end to the fighting and displacement,\" he said. \n\nBiden added that the US \"remains prepared to conclude a set of historic deals with Saudi Arabia to include a security pact and economic assurances, together with a credible pathway for establishing a Palestinian state and the for the full normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel.\"\n\nThe US president is adament that the only path towards an agreement includes the release of the hostages. Last week, the US vetoed a UN resolution that called for a ceasefire in Gaza, and claimed it did not make the release of hostages a condition. It marked the fourth time this year the Biden's administration vetoed a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. \n\nPresident-elect Donald Trump, who will take office in January, has previously said he would bring peace to the Middle East but has not specified how. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>US President Joe Biden called Israel and Hezbollah\u2019s ceasefire agreement \u201cgood news\u201d in a speech in the Rose Garden on Tuesday.

While it is early days, the cessation of full-scale conflict in and around southern Lebanon at least spells promise that some form of stability can be maintained in the violent region.\n\nAnd yet, just beyond Israel's southern border, intense fighting continues in Gaza, where the death toll from the Israeli government's nearly 14-month-long offensive now exceeds 44,000.

However, earlier this month populist Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that \u201cWe, as the Republic of Turkey and its government, have currently severed all relations with Israel.\"\n\nIt is unclear how this policy will play out economically and politically, but it certainly reduces the possibility that Turkey will take up a mediation role.\n\nOther gulf states are likely to be involved.

leaders have given mixed reactions on whether they would respect or ignore the decision of the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\n\nThe world's top war crimes court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant, alongside Hamas commander Mohammed Deif on Thursday. \n\nThe ICC said there were \"reasonable grounds\" to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity by restricting humanitarian aid and targeting civilians during Israel's military campaign in the Gaza strip.\n\nAll 27 member states of the European Union, including Hungary, are part of the ICC. The court says that its members are required to detain suspects facing warrants if they step foot on their soil. However, in practice, the court has no way of enforcing this. \n\nThe EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Thursday that the court's decision should be \"respected and implemented\" by member states.\n\nHowever, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n responded that not only would he defy the court, but that he would extend an invitation to Netanyahu to travel to Budapest. \n\nOrb\u00e1n called the warrants \"outrageously impudent\u201d and \u201ccynical.\u201d\n\nDespite Hungary's resistance, Italy, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and France have signalled that they would respect the court's decision and potentially arrest Netanyahu if he travelled to one of their countries. \n\nItaly's Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said Thursday that although it was \"wrong\" to compare Netanyahu and Gallant to Hamas, if the pair were to enter Italy, \"we would have to arrest them\".\n\nThe warrants are \u201can extremely significant step,\u201d according to Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris, who added his country would respect the ICC's role. \n\nBelgium's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it supported the work of the ICC \"fully\" and that \"those responsible for crimes committed in Israel and Gaza must be prosecuted at the highest level, regardless of who committed them.\u201d\n\nDutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp confirmed the Netherlands would \"act on the arrest warrants.\"\n\nOther countries were mixed in their responses, but signalled that they would follow the court's decision. \n\nFrance's Ministry of Foreign Affairs declined to say whether the country would arrest Gallant or Netanyahu but said it would act \"in line with the ICC\u2019s statutes.\u201d\n\nTheir Austrian counterpart said that warrants were \"ludicrous\", but that his country would also be forced to implement arrests should Netanyahu and Gallant travel to Austria.\n\nGermany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Germany was \"examining\" how to respond to the court's decision, adding that the country is bound by the court and recognises international law. \n\nThe warrant marks the first time a sitting leader of a major Western ally has been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity by a global court of justice.\n\nThe move, although symbolic, is non-binding. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has an ICC warrant for alleged war crimes in Ukraine, recently escaped arrest when he visited Mongolia despite the country being one of the court's member states. \n\nBiden, Israel condemn ICC's decision\n\nAlthough the 27 member states of the European Union are part of the court, the US and Israel are not. \n\nUS President Joe Biden condemned the decision by the ICC to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant as \"outrageous.\"\n\nArrest warrants for the pair were issued alongside one for Hamas commander Mohammed Deif for crimes against humanity, including murder and torture, during the 7 October attack by Hamas. \n\nBiden said there was \"no equivalence - none - between Israel and Hamas\" and condemned the court for comparing the Israeli politicians with Deif.\n\n\"We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security\" the US leader added. \n\nNetanyahu called the arrest warrants \"antisemitic\" in a statement on Thursday. \n\nThe Israeli leader argued against the court's allegations saying Israel had supplied Gaza with \"700,000 tons of food to feed the people of Gaza. We issue millions of text messages, phone calls, leaflets to the citizens of Gaza to get them out of harm's way.\"\n\nHamas did not respond to Deif's warrant but called the decision against Netanyahu and Gallant a \"correction to a long path of historical injustice against our people.\"\n\nIsrael previously claimed they killed Deif in an airstrike, however, Hamas have never confirmed his death. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>European leaders have given mixed reactions on whether they would respect or ignore the decision of the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n<p>The world's top war crimes court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant, alongside Hamas commander Mohammed Deif on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>The ICC said there were \"reasonable grounds\" to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity by restricting humanitarian aid and targeting civilians during Israel's military campaign in the Gaza strip.<\/p>\n<p>All 27 member states of the European Union, including Hungary, are part of the ICC.

It calls for an initial 60-day truce, during which Israeli troops would withdraw from Lebanon and Hezbollah remove its armed presence along the nation's southern border.\n\nUS envoys were in Israel to discuss the proposal last week, but its current status is now unclear in light of Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election on 5 November.\n\nThe diplomacy comes as fighting intensifies between the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) and Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants. The ever-escalating conflict, now in its thirteenth month, started when Hezbollah fired rockets at Israeli targets in the aftermath of Hamas' 7 October 2023 attack \u2014 the massacre and mass kidnapping in southern Israel that sparked the war in Gaza.\n\nOne of the main hotspots in Lebanon is the southern town of Khiam, which is located 6 kilometres north of the Israeli border and carries both strategic and symbolic importance. \n\nHezbollah has recently reported heavy fighting with Israeli troops in and around Khiam, which represents the IDF's deepest incursion into southern Lebanon since it launched a ground operation at the end of September.\n\nWhile Hezbollah is capable of damaging Israel and its forces with missiles and drone systems, military analysts say the militant group could struggle to maintain control of Khiam given its tactical significance as well as the IDF's array of high-tech weaponry.\n\nAgn\u00e9s H\u00e9lou, a Lebanese analyst from Breaking Defence, a defence and security news outlet, says that Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) have been identifed around Khiam.\n\n\"We have seen the presence of UGVs like the M113, an (old) armoured vehicle ... that the Israelis transformed into an autonomous (operating) system,\" she told Euronews. \n\n\"This can be used for surveillance or it can be exploited as a suicide land drone, like a suicide armoured vehicle that can explode.\"\n\nYossi Kuperwasser, a former Israeli military intelligence chief and senior official, said Israel had UGVs that can be \"used for different purposes\", including fighting in towns.\n\nYet Kuperwasser \u2014 who is now an Israeli intelligence and security expert \u2014 said he could not \"go into the technical procedures\" or give any further details.\n\nGrowing Israeli incursion\n\nTaking control of the Khiam area is a priority for the IDF for two key reasons, analysts say.\n\nFirstly, the region is home to Hezbollah tunnels and hideouts. Secondly, occupying Khiam would allow the IDF to open a wider front against Hezbollah. According to according to Kuperwasser, the line would stretch from southern Lebanon to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.\n\n\u201c(Khiam) and the area in its vicinity is geographically located in a strategic point in southern Lebanon,\" he said.\n\n\"This entire area is mountainous, and that's why controlling the villages and the roads there is very important (for the IDF),\" Kuperwasser explained, adding that the area would also be seen as a gateway to the Shebaa Farms, a 39-square-kilometre patch of land along the Israeli-Lebanon border that Israel has controlled since 1967. Both Syria and Lebanon claim the territory is Lebanese. \n\nKuperwasser says the IDF's official goal is to eliminate Hezbollah's ballistic arsenal with surgical operations, using advanced weaponry and innovative AI systems to take out the militants' missiles and drone fleets. \n\nAlthough Hezbollah's overall military capacity pales against the IDF's, the group is considered by conflict experts to be the best-armed non-state actor worldwide.\n\n\"Mainly they are using short range missiles that they are launching from nearby villages to the places where the attacks or the ongoing clashes are taking place,\" said H\u00e9lou.\n\nBut experts say Hezbollah also has medium- and long-range missiles that are capable of hitting targets and infrastructure across Israel \u2014 and Kuperwasser said Israel is seeking to gain ground in Lebanon and expand its front because the IDF had \"underestimated\" the range of some of Hezbollah's weaponry.\n\nFor instance, Hezbollah's long-range anti-tank missiles are able to hit targets up to 9 kilometres away, about double the range that the IDF had previously expected, he said.\n\n\"This gives a different depth to the battlefield,\" he added. \n\nUltimately, the Biden administration has said it hopes a ceasefire can prevent the fighting in Lebanon from becoming as destructive as the conflict in Gaza.\n\nMore than 3,000 people have been killed by Israel's incursions and strikes, and at least 1.2 million have been displaced, mostly in recent months, according to the Lebanese government.\n\nThe latest exchanges of fire between the IDF and Hezbollah have been bloody, with Lebanese authorities saying at least 20 people were killed on Tuesday following an Israeli airstrike on Barja, a town just south of Beirut.\n\nOn Wednesday, Israel's troops carried out strikes on the southern city of Nabatieh \u2014 just 25 kilometres from Khiam \u2014 after issuing evacuation orders for specific neighbourhoods.\n\nThere are growing fears in Lebanon that the conflict could soon intensify following the appointment of Israel Katz as Israel's new defence minister by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week.\n\nKatz has pledged to \"defeat\" Hezbollah to facilitate the return home of people in northern Israel who have been uprooted by the fighting. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Despite US efforts to broker a ceasefire in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah, Israeli forces are continuing to expand their operations against the militant group with heavy airstrikes and increasing ground incursions into Lebanese territory. <\/p>\n<p>The current proposal to end the conflict is similar to the deal that ended the last Israeli-Hezbollah war in 2006.

According to according to Kuperwasser, the line would stretch from southern Lebanon to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Khiam) and the area in its vicinity is geographically located in a strategic point in southern Lebanon,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>\"This entire area is mountainous, and that's why controlling the villages and the roads there is very important (for the IDF),\" Kuperwasser explained, adding that the area would also be seen as a gateway to the Shebaa Farms, a 39-square-kilometre patch of land along the Israeli-Lebanon border that Israel has controlled since 1967. Both Syria and Lebanon claim the territory is Lebanese. <\/p>\n<p>Kuperwasser says the IDF's official goal is to eliminate Hezbollah's ballistic arsenal with surgical operations, using advanced

seeking to gain ground in Lebanon and expand its front because the IDF had \"underestimated\" the range of some of Hezbollah's weaponry.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Hezbollah's long-range anti-tank missiles are able to hit targets up to 9 kilometres away, about double the range that the IDF had previously expected, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\"This gives a different depth to the battlefield,\" he added.

in Israel and Palestine have offered mixed reactions to Donald Trump's victory in the US Presidential Election amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.\n\n\"I think that many people here in the country are happy that Trump won in terms of security,\" said Tel Aviv resident Asher Krispin, although he also believes that Trump will be \"harder\" on Israel.\n\nIsraeli-American citizen Martin Shwartz likened being in government to running a business, saying he believes Trump is a \"good businessman.\" \n\nTrump \"is someone that could take care of a business, so to speak,\" Shwartz said. \n\nOthers think Trump's win is a step in the right direction in the fight against anti-Semitism.\n\n\"Today Trump's victory was also ours. It's a victory for all the American people, for all the Israeli people, and it's a victory that will silence anti-Semitism around the world,\" Tel Aviv resident Ester Hadas said.\n\nAmong Palestinians, however, the mood is less positive.\n\n\"Trump's victory signifies the continuation of bloodshed, and indicates that American policy has not changed; it will remain supportive of Israel,\" said Naim Fawzi, a resident from the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.\n\nFor many Palestinians, a change in president will do little to change the US position on Gaza.\n\n\"We always hope for a change in American policy, for a victory for human rights, a victory for the Palestinians,\" Abdallah Abu Rahma, another Ramallah resident, said.\n\n\"But whether it\u2019s Trump or Harris who wins, I believe that US policy toward Palestinians will remain the same,\" he added.\n\nWhat is Donald Trump's position on the Middle East?\n\nAlthough Trump vowed last week to ensure peace in the Middle East if he was elected, he has consistently positioned himself as a strong advocate for Israel.\n\nDuring his first term, Trump pushed to remake the Middle East by reconciling Israel and Saudi Arabia. All eyes now are on how he handles the region\u2019s ongoing conflicts between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.\n\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Trump\u2019s election win \u201chistory\u2019s greatest comeback.\u201d\n\n\u201cYour historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America.

There is a hostage release deal, it has been on the table since October 7th last year. Netanyahu has to sign this deal and then the rest will fall into place. But the hostage release deal which exists has to be signed today,\" said one of the protesters, Gal Sne.\n\nOne of the earliest proposals for a hostage release deal was put forward on October 12, 2023, five days after the initial Hamas attack.\n\nIt called for the release of all women and children held by Hamas and other Palestinian militants in Gaza, in return for freeing all Palestinian women in Israeli prisons, according to Egyptian officials.\n\nThe Israelis rejected that proposal.\n\nHamas released 17 hostages in exchange for 39 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons during a temporary cessation of hostilities in November last year.\n\nIsrael and Hamas have signalled resistance to ending the war in Gaza after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the chief architect of the raid on Israel more than a year ago that killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped another 250.\n\nOpposing demands\n\nHalting ceasefire talks, mediated by the US, Egypt and Qatar, have stumbled along for weeks but Hamas says none of the hostages will be released until the Israeli military completely withdraws from Gaza.\n\nBut Israel says it wants a permanent military presence both in the Philadelphi Corridor, a narrow buffer zone along the Gaza-Egypt border and in the Netzarim Corridor, the strip the IDF set up that effectively cuts Gaza in two.\n\nAbout 100 hostages remain in captivity in Gaza but Israeli authorities estimate at least 30 of them are dead.\n\nThe weekly protests, on what has come to be known as Hostages Square, have also taken on a political dimension with many protesters demanding Netanyanhu step down and call fresh elections.\n\nSome accuse him of prioritising his political survival over the lives of the Hamas captives.\n\n\"I think a deal could have been reached a long time ago and they keep missing the opportunities. And since I do not trust them, I do not think it is not on purpose.

wailed on Saturday morning in Israel, warning of incoming fire from Lebanon, with a drone launched toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s house in Caesarea, the Israeli government said.\n\nNeither he nor his wife were home, and there were no casualties, said his spokesperson in a statement.\n\nIn addition to the drone launched at Netanyahu's residence, Israel's military said some 55 projectiles were fired in two separate barrages at northern Israel from Lebanon on Saturday morning. Some were intercepted, the army said, and there were no immediate reports of any casualties. \n\nThe strikes came as Iran\u2019s supreme leader vowed that Hamas would continue its fight against Israel following the killing of the mastermind of last year\u2019s deadly Oct. 7 attack.\n\nIn September, Yemen\u2019s Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile toward Ben Gurion Airport when Netanyahu\u2019s plane was landing. The missile was intercepted. \n\nSaturday's strikes into Israel come as its war with Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah \u2014 a Hamas ally backed by Iran \u2014 has intensified in recent weeks. Hezbollah said on Friday that it planned to launch a new phase of fighting by sending more guided missiles and exploding drones into Israel. The militant group\u2019s long-time leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in late September, and Israel sent ground troops into Lebanon earlier in October.\n\nIsraeli airstrikes kill at least 50 in Gaza\n\nMore strikes pounded Gaza on Saturday. The Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement that Israeli strikes hit the upper floors of the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahiya, and that forces opened fire at the hospital\u2019s building and its courtyard, causing panic among patients and medical staff.\n\nAt Al-Awda hospital in Jabaliya, in northern Gaza, strikes hit the building\u2019s top floors, injuring several staff members, the hospital said in a statement. Three houses in Jabaliya were struck overnight Friday, killing at least 30 people, more than half of them women and children, said Fares Abu Hamza, head of the health ministry\u2019s ambulance and emergency service. At least 80 people were injured.\n\nIn central Gaza, at least 10 people were killed, including two children, when a house was hit in the town of Zawayda, according to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, where the casualties were taken. Another strike killed 11 people, all from the same family, in the Maghazi refugee camp, the same hospital said. Associated Press journalists counted the bodies from both strikes at the hospital.\n\nA standoff is ensuing between Israel and Hamas, which it\u2019s fighting in Gaza, with both signalling resistance to ending the war after the death of Hamas\u2019 leader Yahya Sinwar this week. On Friday, Iran\u2019s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Sinwar\u2019s death was a painful loss but noted that Hamas carried on despite the killings of other Palestinian militant leaders before him. \n\n\u201cHamas is alive and will stay alive,\u201d Khamenei said.\n\nHamas has reiterated its stance that the hostages they took from Israel a year ago will not be released until there is a cease-fire in Gaza and a withdrawal of Israeli troops. The staunch position pushed back against a statement by Netanyahu that his country\u2019s military will keep fighting until the hostages are released, and will remain in Gaza to prevent a severely weakened Hamas from rearming.\n\nSinwar was the chief architect of the 2023 Hamas raid on Israel that killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped another 250. Israel\u2019s retaliatory offensive in Gaza has killed over 42,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities, who do not distinguish combatants from civilians but say more than half the dead are women and children.\n\nThe war has destroyed vast swaths of Gaza, displaced about 90% of its population of 2.3 million people, and left them struggling to find food, water, medicine and fuel.\n\nSinwar\u2019s killing appeared to be a chance front-line encounter with Israeli troops on Wednesday, and it could shift the dynamics of the war in Gaza even as Israel presses its offensive against Hezbollah with ground troops in southern Lebanon and airstrikes in other areas of the country.\n\nIsrael has pledged to destroy Hamas politically in Gaza, and killing Sinwar was a top military priority. But Netanyahu said in a Thursday night speech announcing the killing that \u201cour war is not yet ended.\u201d \n\nStill, the governments of Israel\u2019s allies and exhausted residents of Gaza expressed hope that Sinwar\u2019s death would pave the way for an end to the war.\n\nIn Israel, families of hostages still held in Gaza demanded the Israeli government use Sinwar\u2019s killing as a way to restart negotiations to bring home their loved ones. There are about 100 hostages remaining in Gaza, at least 30 of whom Israel says are dead.\n\nIsraeli airstrikes on Lebanon\n\nIsrael also said Saturday it killed Hezbollah\u2019s deputy commander in the southern town of Bint Jbeil. The army said Nasser Rashid supervised attacks against Israel\n\nIn Lebanon, the health ministry said an Israeli airstrike on Saturday hit a vehicle on a main highway north of Beirut, killing two people. It was unclear who was in the car when it was struck.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Sirens wailed on Saturday morning in Israel, warning of incoming fire from Lebanon, with a drone launched toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s house in Caesarea, the Israeli government said.<\/p>\n<p>Neither he nor his wife were home, and there were no casualties, said his spokesperson in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the drone launched at Netanyahu's residence, Israel's military said some 55 projectiles were fired in two separate barrages at northern Israel from Lebanon on Saturday morning.

military confirmed it had killed Sinwar, international leaders \u2014 led by US President Joe Biden \u2014 said that his death would allow ceasefire negotiations to move forward. \n\nUS Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that Sinwar, who was widely considered to be the primary architect behind the 7 October terrorist attacks, was a big obstacle in the negotiations between Israel and Hamas. \n\n\u201cOn multiple occasions over the past months, Sinwar rebuffed efforts by the United States and its partners to bring this war to a close through an agreement that would return the hostages to their families and alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people,\u201d Blinken said in a statement Thursday.\n\nSo far, Israel has not given any indication it would be willing to start negotiations with Hamas or its Iran-backed ally, Hezbollah. \n\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the families of hostages Thursday, saying that it was an \"important moment\" to bring the hostages home, adding that anyone who assisted with the return of hostages would be allowed to leave Gaza. \n\nStill, the leader failed to say how Israel would fulfil Hamas' key demand that Israel withdraw completely from the Gaza Strip. \n\nNetanyahu also said after Sinwar's death was confirmed that the war was not over, with \"the task before us not yet complete\".\n\nThe Israeli

the group would be willing to compromise on their ceasefire conditions. \n\nIn a televised address, Al Hayya reiterated the group's core demands that Israel withdraw from the Gaza strip and Palestinian prisoners in Israel be released. \n\nHezbollah, whose targets Israel is hitting in Lebanon, said that Sinwar's death meant \u201cthe transition to a new and escalating phase in the confrontation with Israel.\"\n\nOn Friday, the group issued a statement saying their fighters have used new types of precision-guided missiles and explosive drones against Israel in recent days, including one that hit a military training camp in Israel last Sunday, killing four people. \n\nThey added that the group were preparing in advance to battle Israeli troops in southern Lebanon and announced several missile and artillery attacks on Israeli forces on the border between the countries overnight. \n\nIran, who hit Israel in an attack two weeks ago, said that Sinwar would be

for a deadly terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October \u2014 a moment that sparked devastating, year-long war between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip and spawned a separate, deadly conflict between Israel and Hamas' allies Hezbollah in Lebanon.\n\nGuterres has often feuded with Israel over the UN chief's reluctance to publicly endorse Israel's actions.\n\nTensions escalated last week, with Katz posting on X that Guterres was banned from entering Israel \u2014 calling him an \"undesirable personality\" as the leader failed to condemn Iran's missile attack on Israel. Guterres issued a short statement calling for a ceasefire, but made no direct mention of Iran. \n\nGuterres has not yet commented on the ban. \n\nBiden leads calls for a ceasefire\n\nHours after Sinwar was killed, Biden and other leaders congratulated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the killing \u2014 saying that Sinwar had \"blood on his hands\".\n\nAs he arrived in Germany for talks with European leaders, Biden said, \"Now's the time to move on ... Move towards a ceasefire in Gaza.\"\n\nUS officials expressed optimism that the death of the infamous figure could signal a turning point in the Middle East and give new impetus to ceasefire talks that have stalled as Israel exchanges escalating fire with Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon. \n\n\u201cOver the past few weeks, there have been no negotiations for an end to the war because Sinwar has refused to negotiate,\u201d State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters, adding that his death opened up the possibility for Hamas and Israel to negotiate an end to the fighting. \n\nBiden joins other figures including his Vice-President Kamala Harris, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in pushing for a ceasefire.\n\nScholz said, \"There is a proposal from President Biden and others as to what such a ceasefire could look like and we fully support that\" in Brussels on Thursday. \n\nEchoing his sentiment, Macron said in a post on X that \"Yahya Sinwar was the main person responsible for the terrorist attacks and barbaric acts of 7 October.

He has also said that he would keep control over the Gaza Strip long enough to ensure that Hamas never return \u2014 a timeline that raises the possibility that the Israeli army could be in Gaza for years to come. \n\nNeither Hamas nor their allies Hezbollah gave an indication that there could be a pause in hostilities.
