Egyptian Brokered Ceasefire halts 11-Day Israel Palestine Conflict

Israel Palestine conflict came to a tumultuous halt after Egypt brokered a truce on Thursday.

The end of war came in the wake of increased international call for ceasefire. Egyptian brokered ceasefire came into effect on Friday.

News of ceasefire was met with celebration from Palestinians. Hundreds gathered to celebrate end of conflict at Al Aqsa Mosque after Morning Prayer. Israel stated that Egypt pleaded for the end in conflict and the agreement “will be mutual and unconditional”.

Some leaders have criticized Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over destroying infrastructures in Gaza. 

Israel security Cabinet approved the truce to ending offensive on Gaza after heeding to Egypt’s demand. Egypt plans to send delegation to Israel and Palestine to monitor upholding of ceasefire.

According to Al Jazeera News Network, 233 Palestinians have succumbed to Israel attacks, including 65 children. Rockets fired from Gaza have killed 12 people in Israel within the 11 horrible days. 

There were fewer fatalities in Israel, credit to their state of the art Iron Dome Defense System that repulsed rocket assaults. The Israel Military had precision tools to bomb specific targets such as buildings and few hideouts. 

Hamas rocket attack from populated areas was a humanitarian violation, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres complained. The UN CEO was equally shocked with “Israel bombardment on Gaza”.

Guteress was moved by the lives of children who perish in Gaza after attack. “If there’s hell on earth, then it is the lives of children in Gaza,” UN Secretary General Guteress lamented.

Israel Military is acclaimed as the second most equipped in the world, after US. Israelis battle for the full ownership of Jerusalem has always generated a rift between them and Palestinians. 

US President Joe Biden has committed to working with UN in humanitarian support in Gaza. US Secretary General Antony Blinken Plans trip to Middle East after truce. 

UN Security Council had convened a special meeting to discuss the Israel Palestine conflict and deliberate on the end in conflict. 

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson welcomed news of ceasefire in Israel Gaza conflict and urged the regional leaders to find a durable solution that prevents terrorism and stop the cycle of conflict.

Johnson’s statement coincided with an appeal from British Labor MP Richard Burgon to UK government to impose sanctions on the Israel government and stop its weaponry sale to the country over its bombardment on Gaza.

Kenyans surprised over UDA's 'Voters Repair' remarks for President Ruto 2027 reelection

 Kenyans are reacting strongly to remarks by some UDA leaders that many interpret as hints at election manipulation ("ukarabati ya kura" / "voters repair") ahead of the 2027 presidential election. What Happened On or around May 23, 2026, NTV Kenya and other outlets aired footage from a UDA meeting at Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula's home.  Leaders including Savula and MP Charles Gimose reportedly used phrases like "tutafanya ukarabati ya kura" (we will repair/do maintenance on the votes).  Some comments referenced high victory margins in places like Tanzania under Samia Suluhu or Museveni-style wins. This has been widely seen as implying plans to "fix" or pad results in favor of President William Ruto's reelection, rather than a literal call for better voter registration or system maintenance. Public Reaction 1. Surprise and outrage: Many Kenyans on X and social media expressed shock, viewing it as arrogant or desperate signaling am...
