At least 20 killed in Gaza as Israel pushes new 'humanitarian city' plan
Listen to article At least 20 Palestinians were killed on Wednesday in Israeli air strikes across the Gaza Strip, as the Israeli Ministry of Defence presented Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a revised proposal for a so-called 'humanitarian city' in southern Gaza. The new plan would cost 4 billion shekels ($1.2bn) and be completed within two months, Army Radio reported. The site would house 600,000 displaced Palestinians in tents, with access to water, food and electricity. An earlier version of the plan, introduced by Defence Minister Israel Katz, was reportedly rejected by Netanyahu as too costly and logistically difficult. Human rights organisations have condemned both iterations of the plan, calling it an attempt to forcibly relocate Palestinians into a confined zone drawing comparisons to a concentration camp. Children losing limbs daily The United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) said the humanitarian toll continues to worsen, with 10 children per day losing one or both legs as a result of the conflict. More than 134,000 people, including over 40,500 children, have sustained war-related injuries since the conflict began. OHCHR added that more than 35,000 people are believed to suffer from significant hearing loss due to explosions, warning of long-term medical and psychological trauma for Gaza's civilian population. Dividing Khan Younis The Israeli military has announced the opening of a new corridor in southern Gaza that divides the Khan Younis area into eastern and western zones. Called the Magen Oz Corridor, the 15km route connects to the Morag Corridor, which was created in April to separate Khan Younis from Rafah. Read: EU signals possible action against Israel over Gaza humanitarian crisis According to a military statement, the corridor is intended to increase pressure on Hamas and dismantle the remaining brigade operating in the city. Military analysts say the development signals a deepening Israeli campaign in southern Gaza, while humanitarian organisations warn the move could worsen civilian displacement and obstruct access to aid. 'Dramatic progress' in ceasefire talks Indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Doha, Qatar, have made what Israeli media described as 'dramatic progress' over the past 24 hours. Talks, which began on July 6, aim to secure a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange deal. According to Israel's Channel 13, the breakthrough came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli Security Cabinet agreed to ease some of their demands—particularly on the military's continued presence in Gaza. Unnamed officials told the outlet that the current framework includes a 60-day pause in Israeli operations, after which combat could resume. While Netanyahu has reportedly approved 'additional flexibility' to move the process forward, he remains opposed to ending the war entirely. Channel 13 quoted one Israeli official as saying 'the road to a deal is now paved,' though no concrete timeline was offered for its conclusion. Israel's war on Gaza Israel has carried out a devastating military campaign in Gaza since late October 2023, killing nearly 58,500 Palestinians, the majority of them women and children. The relentless bombardment has levelled much of the besieged enclave, creating severe food shortages, collapsing health infrastructure, and fuelling the spread of disease. In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel is also facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice.

Israel Agrees to Wider Withdrawal from Gaza Amid Stalled Ceasefire Talks
Ahmed Emam Negotiations over a Gaza ceasefire continue in Qatar, now entering their second week without significant progress. However, an Israeli official has indicated a possible breakthrough in the discussions Israel's Channel 13 reported that a senior Israeli official participating in the talks in Doha said Tel Aviv has agreed to a broader withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and has shown increased flexibility to reach a new agreement. According to Israeli officials cited by Channel 13, the new Gaza withdrawal plan approved by Israel is temporary in nature. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, they said, does not intend to end the war following the initial 60-day ceasefire period. On Tuesday, Israel submitted its third proposed map detailing the deployment of its forces across Gaza during the proposed 60-day ceasefire, sources told the Jerusalem Post. Key points of contention between Israel and Hamas remain the extent of the Israeli troop withdrawal during the ceasefire and the mechanisms for distributing humanitarian aid within Gaza. The latest Israeli map proposal reportedly demonstrates 'greater flexibility' regarding troop positions along the Gaza-Egypt border, specifically in the area between the Morag and Philadelphi crossings, according to the Jerusalem Post. 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 Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Israeli Official: Doha Negotiations "Not on the Verge of Collapse" - Jordan News
An Israeli official, quoted by Channel 13, confirmed late Sunday that the ongoing negotiations in Doha regarding a ceasefire deal in Gaza are "not on the verge of collapse." The source noted that the Israeli delegation remains in Qatar, adding, "Had the talks collapsed, they would have left already." اضافة اعلان The statement came amid renewed optimism from international players. U.S. President Donald Trump expressed hope early Monday that a breakthrough agreement could be reached as early as next week. "Our talks on Gaza are ongoing, and we hope to reach something by next week—we'll see what happens," Trump said while speaking to reporters in Maryland. U.S. envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, echoed a similar sentiment recently, stating he was 'optimistic' about the prospects of a ceasefire deal. On the Palestinian side, Hamas confirmed Sunday that its delegation met with representatives from the Islamic Jihad Movement to discuss the latest updates in the ongoing negotiations, including Israel's responses to proposals presented by mediators. Channel 12 also reported that Israel is expected to submit new maps showing revised plans for a partial military withdrawal from Gaza. These reportedly include modifications to the Israeli position along the Morag axis, a strategic corridor in southern Gaza. The talks are taking place against the backdrop of continued violence in Gaza and the West Bank and follow months of indirect negotiations mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, aiming to broker a phased ceasefire, facilitate hostage exchanges, and initiate long-term reconstruction efforts in the Gaza Strip.

Abu Safiya Suffers from Systematic Torture in Israeli Prisons
DaysofPal- Attorney Ghaid Ghanem Qassem, the lawyer representing detained Palestinian physician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, has revealed shocking details about the inhumane conditions he is enduring inside Israeli prisons, stating that he has lost over 40 kilograms of his body weight and is subjected to brutal torture and medical neglect. In a Facebook post, Qassem wrote: 'Dr. Hussam is not well. He has lost more than a third of his body weight since his arrest on December 27, 2024. He used to weigh 100 kg, and now he weighs no more than 60.' She added that he was severely beaten on June 24 inside Room 1, Section 24 of Ofer Prison, where he was violently struck on his chest, face, head, back, and neck for more than 30 minutes. Qassem noted that Dr. Abu Safiya had repeatedly requested medical treatment and to be examined by a cardiologist due to his irregular heartbeat and heart muscle enlargement, but these requests were denied. His glasses, which had been delivered through his attorney, were also deliberately broken by prison authorities. 'Despite the summer heat, Dr. Hussam is still wearing his winter clothes while held underground, without any exposure to sunlight, enduring starvation, isolation, and ongoing physical and psychological torture,' Qassem said. During her last visit on July 9, she reported that his first question was about the fate of his martyred son's body, who had been temporarily buried near Kamal Adwan Hospital due to Israeli shelling. He also expressed sorrow over not being able to say goodbye to his mother, who passed away just ten days after his arrest. Israeli authorities recently classified Dr. Abu Safiya as an 'unlawful combatant', a legal designation enacted in 2002 that allows Israel to detain individuals from 'hostile entities' without the protections typically afforded to prisoners of war. Israeli Channel 13 had previously aired a video showing Dr. Abu Safiya inside the prison for the first time since his arrest, handcuffed, exhausted, and unwell. Earlier this year, Amnesty International called for his immediate release, citing credible testimonies about horrific conditions inside Israeli detention centers, where Palestinian detainees, including medical personnel, face systematic torture and abuse. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, is a prominent physician in Gaza. He suffers from chronic high blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy, yet has been denied proper medical care or specialist consultation. In light of these revelations, human rights organizations are increasingly demanding an international investigation into his detention conditions and accountability for the Israeli occupation's systematic abuses, which may amount to war crimes under international law.

'Criminal conflict of interest': Ben-Gvir slams A-G over journalist's postponed investigation
Baharav-Miara argued that to investigate Channel 13 reporter Aviad Glickman would infringe on freedom of the press, while Ben-Gvir argued that her intervention was an abuse of authority. Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara is in a 'criminal conflict of interest' with Channel 13 reporter Aviad Glickman, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir accused in a post on X/Twitter on Friday. 'I have demanded that she disclose her meetings with him and cease all involvement in his case, exactly as she demanded from the prime minister regarding General Zini,' Ben-Gvir wrote. Glickman was initially summoned for investigation by the Israel Police after allegedly pushing an associate of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wife, Sara Netanyahu. Channel 13 sent a letter to Baharav-Miara demanding that the investigation be canceled on the grounds that it would violate the freedom of the press, arguing that the incident occurred while Glickman was fulfilling his role as a legal reporter. After initial pushback from the police, who argued that assault could never be considered part of a journalist's role, the investigation was ultimately delayed until a joint conversation could be held between Baharav-Miara and police officials. Sources within the police added that they believed this to be "an attempt to exert improper political pressure," N12 reported, though Baharav-Miara insisted in a statement, 'This is required due to the procedural caution necessary when investigating journalists regarding their work and to prevent concerns about harming the journalistic space."
