  Speaker 1: We begin today with significant diplomatic accusations concerning the Gaza Strip.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jasim al-Thani
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of actively sabotaging
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: efforts to reach a peace agreement. In an interview with
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Al Thani stated that Netanyahu's government is
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: committing a long list of violations of the agreement reached
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: in Sham El Sheikh in October 2025, which aimed for
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a ceasefire and hostage release. He claimed that instead of withdrawing,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Israel now occupies over 70% of the Strip and continues
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: civilian targeting, contrary to the agreement's call for a ceasefire.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Al Thani also noted that the daily average of humanitarian
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: trucks entering Gaza is around 150. far below the agreement's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: requirement of a minimum of 600 per day. Pushing back
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: against Israeli allegations, the Qatari prime minister strongly denied that
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: any Qatari funds have reached Hamas's military wing, stating that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: all funding was coordinated with the UN and Israel for specific,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: approved purposes. He called such accusations baseless. Al-Thani further suggested
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: that when Qatar pushes for a long-term solution, Israel often
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: cites election cycles as a reason for delay. Turning to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: regional diplomacy, Iran has offered what it describes as an
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: accelerated peace plan. According to reports, Tehran claims this enhanced
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: version of a June agreement could end fighting across the region,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: including in Lebanon, and lead immediately to nuclear talks. However,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Washington appears reluctant to surrender its leverage from its blockade,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: while Saudi Arabia and the UAE are reportedly pressing against concessions,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: particularly after the recent Houthi escalation. In related news concerning
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: travel and boycott pressure, an Air Seychelles charter flight from
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Tel Aviv, was reportedly cancelled. The cancellation came after Mauritian
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: authorities allegedly refused landing. The Israeli organiser cited political diplomatic
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: calculations for the incident, which is being viewed as a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: concrete example of boycott pressure affecting ordinary Israeli travellers during
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the holiday period. On the diplomatic front, Iran's foreign minister
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: has been active during a New York visit, meeting with
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: officials from at least 24 countries, including major European powers,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and holding talks with a Trump envoy. This comes as
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister Netanyahu held fewer diplomatic meetings during his own
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: brief visit to the city. Meanwhile, at the UN General Assembly,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: China pushed back against the United States, calling for respect
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: for the sovereignty of countries in the Gulf and urging
• 2:48
