Title: Ceasefire Talks Inconclusive; Melbourne Protests Intensify

The first session of indirect Hamas-Israel ceasefire talks in Qatar ended inconclusively, according to Palestinian sources. The talks, which resumed on Sunday ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House, failed to yield a satisfactory agreement due to the Israeli delegation's insufficient mandate [1].

Meanwhile, in Melbourne, Australia, pro-Palestinian demonstrators chanted "Death to the IDF" at a rally on Sunday, two days after a spate of violent attacks on Jewish targets, including a synagogue and an Israeli restaurant. The protests have been fueled by the ongoing conflict and the ties of local businesses to the Israeli military and its operations in Gaza [2].

The violence in Melbourne comes amidst ongoing bloodshed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked southern Israel, resulting in around 1,200 deaths and 251 hostages. The Israeli military has since recovered some hostages, but around 20 are still believed to be alive. Gaza’s health ministry reports that Israel’s retaliatory military assault has killed over 57,000 Palestinians and caused a humanitarian crisis [1].

In Sydney, diners at Miznon restaurant gathered to commemorate Shabbat after a violent altercation occurred during a protest related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The patrons came together to show solidarity and unity, singing together to celebrate the holy day [3].
