]]>The meeting will be co-chaired by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and US President Donald Trump, with leaders from over 20 countries set to participate, according to the statement. The summit’s objective is to bring the war in the Gaza Strip to an end, bolster efforts to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East, and initiate a new phase of regional security and stability.
The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas took effect on Friday following three days of intensive negotiations between the two sides in Sharm El-Sheikh, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the United States. The first phase of the plan includes the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza City, Rafah, Khan Yunis, and the northern region, the opening of five crossings for aid, and the release of hostages and prisoners.
A Hamas source stated on Friday that the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt is expected to reopen by the middle of next week for limited movement of people, although the details of the operation have not been announced. According to health officials in Gaza, Israeli military operations spanning over two years have devastated Gaza, killing more than 67,000 people and creating famine conditions.
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Syed Abbas Araghchi, said on Saturday that his government is prepared for a fair and balanced dialogue with the United States. In an interview given to state-backed IRIB TV, Araghchi outlined Iran’s position on resuming nuclear talks with the US and lifting sanctions. He stated that if the United States presents a competent plan that ensures the protection of Iran’s interests, it will certainly be considered.

One of the fishermen, Rami Abu Amira said,”We need to eat. We, fishermen, are scared the Israeli navy will shoot at us. It’s up to everyone to decide whether to go or not”.
The attack on Gaza killed 248 people including 66 children, and 1,900 wounded since May 10. The United Nation says that half of the people killed, are civilians.

]]>He said,”There are only two ways that you can deal with them”, addressing the Hamas in a Tel Aviv briefing for a group of foreign ambassadors. “You can either conquer them, and that’s always an open possibility, or you can deter them, and we are engaged right now in forceful deterrence, but I have to say we don’t rule out anything”.
Netanyahu connected the dramatic rush in violence to a decision by Palestinian Authority president Mahmud Abbas to cancel the elections that was scheduled for this weekend. Palestinian experts say that Hamas is now seeking to establish the real defenders of Palestinians against Israel.
Netanyahu said,” When Hamas saw that these elections were not going to take place, they sought to.. incite riots, to incite violence, in order to further their political goals”.

]]>According to the Gaza health officials, the death toll reached 201 last week, which also included 58 children and 34 women. The Israeli authorities said that 10 people were killed in Israel including two children.
The death of the Hussam Abu Harmeed, the armed commander of north Gaza’s Islamic Jihad will most certainly draw an aggressive response from the militant group.
The Israeli military said,”Harbeen had been behind several anti-tank missile terror attacks against Israeli civilians”. However the militant groups in Gaza have not given any sign of stopping the fights. Later after the incident, Islamic Jihad said that it had fired rockets on the coastal cities of Israel. Israel has also bombed the underground tunnels used by Hamas to take revenge for the attack on their coastal cities.

Al Jazeera broadcasted the image of the building collapsing to the ground after the Israeli air strike. Jawad Mehdi, the owner of the Jala tower informed that an Israeli intelligence officer warned him that he had just one hour to ensure the evacuation of the building.
