Qatar's International Media Office warns against fabricated reports in Israeli media
DOHA: Fabricated documents are once again circulating in the Israeli media in an attempt to sow tension and division between Qatar and the United States at a crucial stage in our efforts to mediate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, said the International Media Office of the State of Qatar. In a press statement, the Media Office said that the timing of their release is no coincidence. 'It is a deliberate distraction, deployed by those who want to deflect attention from negative coverage of their own irresponsible actions in Gaza – including those reported in the news over the past week – at a moment when a breakthrough is within reach,' it said. 'This tactic has been used previously by those who want diplomacy to fail. They do not want Qatar's work with the Trump administration – on the Gaza file and other regional files – to succeed in bringing peace to the region. 'Similar methods have been used against those who have spoken out against the continuation of the war, or worked diplomatically to bring the hostages home including members of President Trump's administration, in an effort to discredit them and undermine the diplomatic process.' 'Their efforts will not succeed. No fabricated documents will weaken the bond between Qatar and the United States,' added the statement. The Media Office also urged all media outlets to remain vigilant against misinformation spread by those who want to disrupt the negotiations by any means necessary in order to prolong the conflict.

LIVE: Israel kills 60 in Gaza, detains Madleen crew, including Thunberg
Israeli forces have killed at least 60 Palestinians in Gaza on Monday, including at least 14 people near the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's (GHF) aid centre in southern has detained the Madleen's 12 crew members, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and Al Jazeera journalist Omar Faiad, after towing the aid ship to Israel's Ashdod Port, their lawyer told Al flotilla was aiming to break Israel's illegal blockade on Gaza and was seized by Israeli commandos in international waters about 100 nautical miles (185km) from Gaza's war on Gaza has killed at least 54,927 Palestinians and wounded 126,615, according to Gaza's Health estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were taken captive. Update: Date: 2m ago (00:15 GMT) Title: Israel to deport Madleen crew as protesters in Europe slam Israeli actions Content: Al Jazeera is reporting from Jordan because it has been banned in Israel and the occupied West Bank. As the sun was setting on Gaza and Israel, the Israeli Navy brought in the Madleen boat, where 12 international activists were trying to break the Israeli siege on Gaza and bring back focus to this illegal Israeli blockade. The activists, who include a French member of the European Parliament, will be deported, as we've heard from officials of the Israeli government who accuse the 12 activists of entering Israel illegally. Of course, this boat was headed to Gaza. It was not headed to Israel, and it did not enter Israeli territorial waters. It was taken over by the Israeli army in international waters. There has been a lot of reaction from across Europe, protests in several European capitals, but Israel insists that this blockade is legal, even though nobody in the world agrees with it. Certainly, the world courts do not agree with that assessment. But Israel insists that it will not allow anybody to break the siege. For now, one can say that these activists who are now awaiting deportation, who will be detained in solitary confinement as they are processed, did succeed in focusing international attention on the Israeli blockade. They brought attention to the fact that more than 2 million Palestinians are being starved in Gaza, in contravention of international law. It remains, of course, to be seen what European capitals will take by way of measures to protest these Israeli actions. For now, the activists will be taken in by the Israeli authorities. A prominent Palestinian Israeli human rights organisation will be representing them, trying to safeguard their rights as they are processed and deported.

Italian referendums on citizenship, labour law fail over low turnout
dpa Rome A series of referendums on immigration and labour law have failed in Italy after turnout fell far short of the required 50% of the eligible population after two days of voting, in a win for right-wing Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Preliminary figures from the Interior Ministry showed that only 29% of voters had cast a ballot by the time polling station closed at 3pm (1300 GMT) on Monday. The referendums focused heavily on labour law, with votes on better protection against dismissal, higher severance payments, the abolition of fixed-term contracts and liability in the event of accidents at work. The fifth issue involved deciding whether people from countries outside the EU could be granted citizenship after five years. Currently, this takes at least 10 years. The final results will only be published after the end of the count. According to preliminary figures, there were clear majorities in favour of the measures, but they will not pass due to the low turnout. The failure was widely expected after only 22% of voters participated in the election on Sunday, when voting was open until 11pm. Of the 78 referendums held in Italy since the end of World War II, many have failed due to low turnout. The latest vote was initiated by trade unions and the left-wing opposition. The right-wing coalition government under Prime Minister Meloni advised its supporters not to participate. Meloni herself went to her polling station but did not cast her vote.
