Doha Ceasefire Talks Set to Resume as UNSC Takes Up Israeli Attacks on Gaza Hospitals

HeadlineJan 03, 2025

As the relentless attacks on Gaza continue, Israeli negotiators are reportedly heading back to Qatar to resume ceasefire talks.

Here in New York, the U.N. Security Council is holding an emergency meeting today to discuss Israeli attacks on Gaza’s hospitals, including northern Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, whose director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, was abducted last week by Israeli forces. Israel has since refused to confirm his location or his condition. Medical workers around the world have been calling for his release and for the protection of Gaza’s crumbling health infrastructure. Reports on the ground in Gaza say the Israeli military is ordering the forced evacuation of Indonesian Hospital, where a handful of patients that were forced out of Kamal Adwan are now being treated. Al Jazeera also reports Israeli forces are intensively shelling the vicinity of Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza.
