Stop negotiations

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday, although he did not explain what these alternatives might have been, that Israel is studying “alternative options” to stop talks with Hamas. The apparent shift in focusing comes just hours from Israel, and the United States has summoned its negotiation teams from Qatar in a move that gives up the effectiveness of the ongoing truce talks amid the deteriorating hunger crisis in Gaza.

Stop negotiations

On Friday, Netanyahu said: “Hamas is an obstacle to the hostage of the hostages,” where his government faces increasing pressure from the families of the hostages to give their loved ones home. About 50 prisoners remain in Gaza, of whom less than half are still alive. The current deal will be implemented in the first place for 60 days, as Hamas will launch within 10 living hostages and the bodies of 18 others in exchange for some Palestinian prisoners.

US President Donald Trump said after a phone call to Netanyahu on Friday. “I think they want to die, which is very bad. It has reached a point that must finish the task.” He added that he believed that Hamas will never want to launch the remaining hostages because it means losing a “bargaining chip” in the armistice talks.

Hamas condemned the decision of Israel and the United States to leave negotiations early, although Basim, who is responsible for Hamas Al -Kabir, said that the Israeli delegation is expected to return to Qatar early next week to resume the dialogue.

On Friday, the extinguishing progress adds to the global pressure to stop Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, as the number of Palestinian deaths continues to increase. The Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Thursday that at least 113 people have died of hunger in Gaza since the Israeli war began in October 2023.

British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer said in a statement on Thursday before the emergency invitation on Friday with other European forces to discuss the aid crisis: “The suffering and starvation in Gaza is indescribable and unacceptable.” “Although the situation was dangerous for some time, it has reached new depths and continues to worsen. We are witnessing a human catastrophe.”

This week, foreign ministers from 28 countries, in addition to more than 100 separate joint data rights organizations calling for the war and Israel to raise restrictions on the flow of aid to Gaza, citing threats of imminent hunger across the region. On Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will recognize Palestine as a country that begins in September. Macron said: “The urgent thing today is that the war in Gaza stops and the civilian population is saved,” Macron said.

Israel condemned these warning messages as well as the bold diplomatic measure of France. Netanyahu said of Macron’s announcement: “This step is equivalent to terrorism and dangers in creating another Iranian agent, just as Gaza has become.” “In these circumstances, the Palestinian state will be a launching platform for the extermination of Israel – not living in peace beside it.”

However, foreign pressure to alleviate the Gaza humanitarian crisis forced Israel to take preliminary steps. On Friday, Israeli officials confirmed that they will coordinate with Jordan and the United Arab Emirates to deploy aid drops in Gaza in the coming days.

What we are following

Edge border clashes. Two Thai officials told Reuters on Friday that Thailand rejected third -party mediation efforts in its struggle with Cambodia. Instead, Bangkok said it prefers direct bilateral negotiations to reduce military actions along its 510 miles.

Armed attacks continued for the second day on Friday, which represents a rare moment of the open war in the long signed diplomatic conflict, which broke out in late May with border skirmishes that killed a Cambodian soldier. “The situation has intensified and can develop into a war,” said Thai Prime Minister Foumetham and Yuhayachhay. The Thai army claims that nearly 100 Cambodi soldiers were killed near the Brehah Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and thousands of people have been displaced on both sides since the start of the fighting.

The United States, China and Malaysia – the current president of the Association of Southeast Asian countries – offered to facilitate the dialogue, and Japan urged both sides to exercise “the maximum self -restraint.” But it seems that Thailand is determined to continue its current path. “We appreciate [the offer] Thai Deputy Foreign Minister Ross Gallicandra said:

However, the ceasefire deal is still far -reaching. According to Prime Minister Cambodian Hun Manit, Thailand and Cambodia initially agreed to propose a truce on Thursday, but Bangkok reflected its decision later. Thailand did not comment on these allegations, and on Friday, Cambodia called for a ceasefire.

The threat of penalties. Iranian officials held personal nuclear talks with France, Germany and the United Kingdom in Istanbul on Friday for the first time since Israel and the United States launched air strikes last month targeting the Nawawi and Military infrastructure in Tehran. Iran described the course of approximately four hours as “serious, frank, and detailed”, but it refused to agree to expand the scope of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231, which was authenticated to the 2015 nuclear deal and provides some sanctions to Iran. The decision is scheduled to end in October.

The alleged E3 group of European countries hopes to use a conversation on Friday to pressure Iran to return to the negotiating table with the United States and allow the United Nations Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to resume inspections in the country. Tehran commented on cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency earlier this month on US and Israeli attacks. Meanwhile, Iran aims to structure on Friday talks to remove the threat of “Snapback”, which E3 threatened to impose on Tehran if it is not made to a deal by the end of August.

Earlier this week, Iranian actors met their counterparts from China and Russia to discuss Europe’s warnings. Tehran confirms that it only uses the uranium enrichment program for civil purposes, not building a nuclear weapon. The United States and Israel deny this claim.

Facing Chinese influence. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become the first foreign leader on Friday to visit the Maldives since President Mohamed Mouizo took office in 2023. Over the next two days, Modi and Mouizo will celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries by holding free trade talks; Putting the finishing touches on the bilateral investment deal; And work to deepen cooperation in tourism, health care and housing. On Friday, Modi also announced that India has expanded a $ 565 million credit line to the Maldives to enhance the development of infrastructure in the island’s nation.

New Delhi hopes to take advantage of Moody’s journey to help face the Chinese influence in the Indian Pacific Ocean. Muzzu has been elected on a platform calling for the end of the “India First” policy of the Maldives and for closer relations with Beijing. Since energy taking, Muzzu has tried to reduce dependency on New Delhi. But given the strategic location of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, New Delhi is keen to improve relationships.

Difficulties end

An effort by the Toronto Transport Committee in Canada (TTC) to eliminate the theft of fare by re -naming the taxi inspectors, is being confronted with ridicule and laughter. Learn about the newly renovated provincial crime officers, and they are also known as stool. Canadian authorities announced the changing title last Friday to deter free cycles, who cost TTC about 140 million Canadian dollars (or about 102 million dollars) annually. Surprisingly, no one, social media users have a field day with the new name. But TTC does not enjoy it. “We thank the 12 -year -old boys who dominate the Internet for their visions,” TTC’s media relations team also posted on X, adding that the appointment of POO was present in Ontario’s legislation a long time before TTC chose to use it.
