The 15 paramedics and other rescue workers were shot dead on March 23in three separate shootings at the same location near the southern Gazacity of Rafah. They were buried in a shallow grave where their bodies were found a week later by officials from the United Nations and the Palestinian Red Crescent. In a statement on…
WESTERN PERSPECTIVE Kyiv and Moscow accuse each other of countless violations of one-day Easter ceasefire Russia and Ukraine accused each other of thousands of attacks that violated the one-day Easter ceasefire declared by President Vladimir Putin, with the Kremlin saying there was no order to extend the pause in frontline fighting. Washington said it would welcome an extension of the truce, and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reiterated several times Ukraine's willingness to pause strikes for 30 days in the war. But Putin, who sent thousands of Russian troops into Ukraine in February 2022 and who ordered on Saturday the halt in…
Israel's Netanyahu says military to increase pressure on Hamas Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday he had instructed the military to intensify pressure on Hamas after the Palestinian militant group this week rejected an Israeli proposal for another temporary truce, instead demanding a deal to end the war in exchange for the release of hostages. In a late-night televised address, Netanyahu said that while war came with a heavy price, Israel had "no choice but to continue fighting for our very existence, until victory." Egyptian mediators have been working to restore the ceasefire, which Israel abandoned last month…

Israeli strikes hit dozens of targets in Gaza as ceasefire efforts stall Israeli airstrikes hit about 40 targets across the Gaza Strip over the past day, the military said on Friday, hours after Hamas rejected an Israeli ceasefire offer that it said fell short of its demand to agree a full end to the war. Last month the Israeli military broke off a two-month truce that had largely halted fighting in Gaza and has since pushed in from the north and south, seizing almost a third of the enclave as it seeks to pressure Hamas into agreeing to release hostages…
WESTERN PERSPECTIVE US will abandon Ukraine peace push if no progress soon, Trump and Rubio say The United States will walk away from efforts to broker a Russia-Ukrainepeace deal unless there are clear signs of progress soon, U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday. "Quickly, we want to get it done," Trump told reporters at the White House. "Now if for some reason one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we're just going to say, 'you're foolish, you're fools, you're horrible people, and we're going to just take a pass. But hopefully…
Hamas says it is ready to release all remaining hostages for an end to Gaza war Hamas wants a comprehensive deal to end the war in Gaza and swap all Israeli hostages for Palestinians jailed in Israel, a senior official from the Palestinian militant group said, rejecting Israel's offer of an interim truce. In a televised speech, Khalil Al-Hayya, the group's Gaza chief who leads its negotiating team, said the group would no longer agree to interim deals, adopting a position that Israel is unlikely to accept and potentially further delaying an end to the devastating attacks that restarted in…
WESTERN PERSPECTIVE Zelenskiy accuses China of supplying Russia with weapons Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday China was supplying weapons and gunpowder to Russia, the first time he has openly accused Beijing of direct military assistance for Moscow. The Ukrainian leader said at a press conference that his government also had intelligence that China was producing weapons on Russian territory and that he would be able to provide more details next week. China, which has the world's second-largest economy, has had close economic relations with Russia during Moscow's three-year war in Ukraine. But it has sought to project an…
Hamas rejects Israeli ceasefire, hostage return deal over disarmament demands Hamas appears to have rejected Israel’s latest attempt to secure a ceasefire and the return of nearly a dozen hostages who have been held in the Gaza Strip for 556 days. The organization has yet to issue a formal response regarding its rejection of Israel’s ceasefire proposal, but according to remarks by Hamas leader Abu Zuhri to reporters on Tuesday, "Handing over the resistance's weapons is a million red lines and is not subject to consideration, let alone discussion." Fox News Digital could not independently verify the extent of the…
