Palestine Calls for Effective Int'l Mechanisms to Stop Israeli Annexation Plans
Taarek Refaat The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said on Friday that settlement expansion and incursions into the West Bank by Israeli occupation leaders require effective international mechanisms to halt annexation plans. In a statement reported by the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the incursions into the occupied West Bank by ministers of the occupation government, the settlers' encroachment on its land, streets, and citizens' property, and the boasting about building 22 new settlements constitute an Israeli attempt to destroy the two-state solution and a blatant disregard for United Nations resolutions and international law, as well as for the international consensus rejecting settlements, which violate international law and directly threaten the establishment of a Palestinian state. The Ministry called for effective international mechanisms to halt annexation and expansion plans, stressing that the recognition of the State of Palestine by European countries, the success of the UN conference and its practical outcomes, and support for the State of Palestine's attainment of full membership in the United Nations contribute significantly to strengthening and protecting the two-state solution. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

French President praise mediators' efforts to reach ceasefire in Gaza
CAIRO – 30 May 2025: French President Emmanuel Macron praised Egypt and Qatar for their efforts to achieve a ceasefire, saying, 'I salute the Egyptian, Qatari, and American efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza. We cannot leave Israel free to do whatever it wants in Gaza.' Hamas said on Friday that it is still consulting with Palestinian forces and factions regarding the US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff ceasefire proposal in Gaza that was received via mediators. In another statement, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) called on the Hamas leadership to exert more efforts, in cooperation with Arab mediators, to reach an agreement to halt the aggression in the Gaza Strip, even for 60 days. The statement explained that this period would be sufficient to allow for regional and international initiatives to develop the situation in the favor of the Palestinian people. The official spokesman for DFLP said that given the impasse in the ongoing negotiations with the US administration to halt the aggression on the Gaza Strip, due to Washington's clear bias towards the Israeli position of continuing the war, the Front is fully confident that the Hamas leadership is fully aware of the grave dangers facing our people if a ceasefire is not reached immediately. High hopes are pinned on the US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff ceasefire proposal in Gaza after Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu announced accepting it; while Hamas said in a statement that it has received it via mediators and will 'study it responsibly'. The new suggested proposal is to secure a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and allow aid to enter the Strip following the two sides' approval. The White House also expressed its optimism with the new proposal from envoy Steve Witkoff according to Axios, saying that this proposal expected to help bridge the remaining gaps between Israel and Hamas and produce a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza soon. 'If each side moves just a bit, we could have a deal within days,' Axios quoted a source. In case Hamas announced its approval; the United States President Donald Trump will explain details of the new brokered deal. According to Israeli reports, Witkoff has affirmed repeatedly Trump's commitment to reaching a ceasefire in Gaza. The proposal states that US, Egypt, and Qatar are listed as guarantors for maintaining the ceasefire over the 60-day period and any potential extension.

The proposal states that US, Egypt, and Qatar are listed as guarantors for maintaining the ceasefire over the 60-day period and any potential extension. Trump will be guaranteeing Israel's compliance, while Hamas is to release 10 living hostages and the remains of 18 individuals—half on the first day and half on the seventh day of the ceasefire, according to the proposal. Also, humanitarian aid is to be delivered to Gaza once both sides agree on the ceasefire and its distribution will be coordinated by the UN and the Red Crescent. On the tenth day of the ceasefire, Hamas is expected to provide full information regarding all remaining hostages. The Israeli occupation authorities have closed the Gaza crossings since March 2, following the end of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement. An agreement to consolidate the ceasefire was not reached, and Israel violated it with airstrikes on March 18, resuming its ground incursion and occupying various areas of the Gaza Strip. Israel also blocked relief aid and reconstruction equipment from entering Gaza. Limited aid trucks resumed entry into Gaza on Monday, May 19.
