What's holding up the Gaza truce? Key dispute revealed
Hebrew Channel 12 has revealed that the final point of contention in the ongoing Gaza ceasefire negotiations in Doha concerns the location of 'Israeli' military forces during the proposed pause in fighting. The dispute reportedly revolves around humanitarian aid distribution points, which are expected to remain under American oversight. This would allow food and supplies to be delivered to civilians in areas from which 'Israeli' forces withdraw, using mechanisms similar to those employed earlier in the aggression. According to Hebrew media, the United States is pressuring both sides to finalize a deal by this Thursday. During his recent meeting with 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Donald Trump reaffirmed his intention to bring the Gaza war to an end. Channel 13 quoted a senior 'Israeli' official as saying that Trump continues to apply pressure to reach a resolution, while cautious optimism surrounds the ongoing ceasefire negotiations being led by the US, Egypt, and Qatar. Trump is expected to meet Netanyahu again at the White House to discuss the latest developments in the Doha talks, particularly regarding a potential truce and prisoner exchange. In recent remarks, Trump described the situation in Gaza as 'tragic,' stressing, 'We will resolve this conflict once and for all.' Humanitarian aid mechanism remains a sticking point "Israel's" Kan broadcaster reported that Qatar recently presented a new compromise text aimed at resolving one of the key disputes: how humanitarian aid will be distributed in Gaza. One proposed formula suggests that all humanitarian and food aid would be distributed exclusively through the United Nations and its agencies, without the involvement of any other parties. However, sources say this is just one of several proposals and may not necessarily be included in the final agreement. The aid mechanism remains a central unresolved issue and continues to delay progress toward a finalized ceasefire deal.

Under cover of Gaza war, 'Israel' accelerates ethnic cleansing in West Bank
As global attention remains fixed on the devastating war in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, is witnessing an intensified campaign of forced displacement, destruction, and lockdowns. Since late 2023, 'Israeli' authorities have taken advantage of the world's focus on Gaza to escalate violations across the West Bank in an unprecedented manner, according to UN and human rights reports. Widespread raids and infrastructure destruction Military raids have surged in Palestinian towns, villages, and refugee camps, particularly in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nablus. These operations go beyond arrests and now include large-scale destruction. Killings and arrests: Hundreds of Palestinians, including children, have been killed and thousands injured. Thousands more have been detained in near-daily raids. Systematic destruction: Bulldozers have demolished roads and critical infrastructure, including water, electricity, and sewage networks, especially in refugee camps. Human rights groups have labeled the actions as collective punishment. Settler violence: 'Israel's' unofficial weapon Violent attacks by settlers have increased dramatically, particularly in Area C, under full 'Israeli' control. Human rights groups such as B'Tselem report that these attacks are often carried out with the protection or complicity of the 'Israeli' military. Common attacks include arson of homes and farmland, physical assaults, and use of live ammunition. Impact: Dozens of Palestinian families, especially in Bedouin and herding communities, have been forcibly displaced in what observers call a 'silent ethnic cleansing.' Home demolitions: institutionalized displacement Demolitions of Palestinian homes and structures have surged, especially in Area C and East Jerusalem, under the pretext of lacking building permits -- permits that are nearly impossible for Palestinians to obtain. According to UN OCHA, hundreds of buildings have been demolished since late 2023, leaving hundreds of Palestinians homeless, including many children. Closures and blockades: economic and humanitarian suffocation A web of military checkpoints and closures has fragmented the West Bank into isolated enclaves. These restrictions have: Crippled the economy, cutting off workers from jobs inside the Green Line and hindering trade. Restricted essential services, preventing access to hospitals, schools, and universities. Using the Gaza war as cover Observers say 'Israel' is using the war on Gaza to accelerate long-standing plans to reshape the West Bank, undermining the possibility of a viable Palestinian state. What is unfolding is not a series of isolated incidents but a calculated strategy of displacement, destruction, and economic strangulation, while the international community remains largely silent.
