Gaza’s fragile ceasefire was back on track Wednesday, after Israel said it would halt a series of airstrikes that briefly raised doubts about whether the U.S.-brokered deal would hold. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/30/world/israeli-army-ceasefire-gaza-strikes/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #us #donaldtrump
Israeli planes launched strikes in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday after Israel accused the militant group Hamas of violating a ceasefire in the Palestinian territory. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/29/world/politics/israel-gaza-hamas-us-ceasefire/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas

The attempts by #Western #institutions to normalise #Israel since the #ceasefire are disgusting & absurd.

The Gaza ceasefire faces a myriad of disputes, but many Israelis and Palestinians are finding a common cause: locating, identifying and burying their dead. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/28/world/gazans-rubble-unmarked-graves/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Israel over annexing the West Bank while visiting Secretary of State Marco Rubio voiced confidence that a U.S.-backed ceasefire in Gaza would hold. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/24/world/us-pressure-west-bank/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #westbank #jdvance #donaldtrump
Clearing the surface of Gaza of unexploded ordnance will likely take between 20 to 30 years, according to an aid group official who described the enclave as a "horrific, unmapped minefield." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/24/world/gaza-mine-clearing-30-years/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #israelhamaswar #gaza #palestinians #landmines
A bill applying Israeli law to the occupied West Bank, a move tantamount to annexation of land that Palestinians want for a state, has won preliminary approval from Israel's parliament. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/23/world/politics/israel-parliament-west-bank-annex/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #westbank
By persuading Hamas to accept U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza deal, Turkey has reasserted itself on the Middle East chessboard, to the dismay of Israel and Arab rivals. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/22/world/politics/erdogan-trump-gaza-turkey/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #receptayyiperdogan #turkey #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #us #donaldtrump

Israeli settler violence has "skyrocketed” in the West Bank as extremists again disrupt the economically vital olive harvest in Palestinian communities, a United Nations official said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/22/world/israeli-settler-violence-olive-harvest/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #westbank
"One of the things that I think hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves that I want to highlight is Israel’s refusal to release Marwan Barghouti, the most famous Palestinian prisoner. And the reason I think it’s so significant is that I think it exposes the lie that Israel’s fundamental problem is with Hamas, that Israel’s fundamental goal is to destroy Hamas."
