The Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Tamim al-Thani, called on the UN Security Council to put pressure on Israel and force it to return to the negotiating table with Hamas, in a speech at the Gulf Cooperation Council summit in Doha.
Qatar recently mediated between the two warring sides to achieve a ceasefire in the fighting and the release of hostages from the Gaza Strip, but at the end of the week the truce collapsed and fighting resumed.
According to the protothema, al-Thani stated that Israel must understand that the era of occupation is over and blamed the international community for allowing it to continue its aggressive actions in Gaza for a long time.
“It is a shame that the international community has allowed this heinous crime to continue for almost two months, during which innocent civilians are systematically and deliberately murdered,” said the Qatari emir. “All human values have been violated in the occupied Palestinian territories by the occupying authorities,” he added.
British military plane searches for hostages
The decision by the British Ministry of Defense to carry out surveillance flights over the eastern Mediterranean, including operations in the airspace over Israel and Gaza, is an important step in the effort to locate the hostages held by Hamas.
British aircraft have advanced surveillance systems which can provide detailed information about the terrain and infrastructure below them. This information can be valuable to the authorities responsible for rescuing the hostages, as it can help locate prisons or other places where the hostages are being held.
Britain’s decision to join the hostage rescue efforts is an indication of the country’s commitment to protecting its own citizens and other citizens held by terrorist organisations.
It is important to note that the British aircraft will not carry weapons and will not have a combat role. Their mission will be exclusively to locate the hostages.
According to newsit, Britain’s decision to join the hostage rescue efforts is a positive development, which can help free the hostages and restore justice.
