The emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, has said his country is making efforts in mediation to secure the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza and that he hopes a humanitarian truce would be reached in the strip soon, Reuters reported. He was speaking during a joint Islamic-Arab summit on Gaza being held in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Iran’s president, Ebrahim Raisi, are among those reportedly in attendance.
The spokesperson for the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said that operations in al-Shifa hospital complex were suspended on Saturday after it ran out of fuel. The al-Shifa hospital director, Muhammad Abu Salmiya, warned “we are minutes away from imminent death” with patients dying “by the minute”. He told Al Jazeera that the hospital had been left without power, internet and water and medical supplies. The aid agency Doctors Without Borders quoted a surgeon in the agency’s series of tweets expressing concern at the “catastrophic situation” inside the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City amid intensifying strikes. “Over the last few hours, the attacks against al-Shifa hospital have dramatically intensified. Our staff at the hospital have reported a catastrophic situation inside just few hours ago,” the aid agency posted to X.

Hamas is evil, But they should exchange the hostages for the removal of all the settlers from the West Bank. Solve two atrocities at the same time.
