Gaza truce talks resume in Qatar as violence shows no let-up ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

The civil defence agency said a dawn air strike on the home of the al-Ghoula family in Gaza City killed 11 people, seven of them children.

As the violence raged, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz confirmed that indirect negotiations with Hamas had resumed in Qatar for the release of hostages seized in the October 2023 attacks.

Katz said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had given “detailed instructions for the continued negotiations”.

In the undated, three-and-half-minute recording that AFP has not been able to verify, the 19-year-old conscript called in Hebrew for the Israeli government to secure her release.

A total of 96 Israeli hostages remain in Gaza, including 34 the Israeli military says are dead.

Hamas had said late on Friday that the negotiations were poised to resume.

Mediators Qatar, Egypt and the United States have been engaged in months of effort that have failed to end nearly 15 months of war.

But Hamas and Israel then accused each other of setting new conditions and obstacles.

“The department has informally notified Congress of an $8 billion proposed sale of munitions to support Israel’s long-term security by resupplying stocks of critical munitions and air defence capabilities,“ the official said.

‘Everything was shaking’

“It was a two-storey building and several people are still under the rubble,“ he said, adding Israeli drones had “also fired on ambulance staff”.

“A huge explosion woke us up. Everything was shaking,“ said neighbour Ahmed Mussa.

Elsewhere, the civil defence agency said an Israeli strike killed five security officers tasked with accompanying aid convoys as they drove through the southern city of Khan Yunis.

Rescuers said strikes elsewhere in Gaza killed 10 other people.

The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said a total of 136 people had been killed over the previous 48 hours.

Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels have been firing missiles and drones at Israel -- as well as at ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden -- in what they say is a solidarity campaign with Palestinians during the war in Gaza.

Israel’s retaliatory military campaign has killed at least 45,717 people in Gaza, the majority of them civilians, according to figures from the Gaza health ministry which the United Nations considers reliable.
