Talk to Al Jazeera

As nearly 250 Palestinians were killed in Israel's latest offensive in Gaza, many wonder how long will the truce last.

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi attended the United Nations General Assembly's emergency session where the effects of the Israeli offensive in Gaza was condemned.

Pakistan aims to play a prominent role when it comes to peace, security and stability in the region.

But is it possible, given the geopolitical dynamics?

The latest Israeli offensive in Gaza that started May 11 is considered the worst since the 2014 Gaza War.

Israel’s security cabinet and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire 11 days later.

But how long will the truce last?

And while the Israeli offensive seems to have brought the Palestinian people together, it is not clear if it also brought unification among the leaders of the Palestinian factions.

As some question if the Palestinian Authority is still relevant, what role did it actually play in the agreement?

The Palestinian Foreign Minister, Riyad al-Maliki, talks to Al Jazeera.

It’s been one year since Iraq's Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi took office.

But the country has been marked in recent decades by conflict, turmoil, and instability.

There was the U.S. invasion in 2003 and the chaos of the transition to a new beginning.

In the years that followed, endemic corruption and sectarian violence.

More recently, civil disobedience, the killing of protesters by security forces, the effects of US-Iran tensions, and the COVID-19 pandemic and the devastation caused to an already fragile economy.

So how promising does the future look for Iraq?

It has been nearly 100 days since Myanmar’s military took power in a coup, triggering mass protests. The country's security forces have responded with violence. Hundreds have been killed in the crackdown.

Shortly after the coup in February, Myanmar’s ambassador to the United Nations spoke out against the military leaders. Ambassadors of many countries, including the United States, joined Myanmar’s envoy in condemning the actions by the military, but others like China have refused to do so.

Will the international community reach a consensus on the matter or remain polarised? Myanmar’s UN ambassador, Kyaw Moe Tun, talks to Al Jazeera.

The Ibera wetlands are a 1.3 million-hectare (3.2 million-acre) natural reserve in northeastern Argentina. But in recent years, wildlife in the area has suffered because of rapid development, industrialised agriculture and uncontrolled cattle grazing.

Argentina is one of the world’s top food producers. Beef and grain are some of its main exports. And now, as the country stretches its agricultural capabilities even further, several conservation strategies are being tried out and, it seems, some of them are working.

On this edition of Talk to Al Jazeera: In the Field, Teresa Bo meets some of those determined to work on rewilding Argentina.

Having lifted 20 million Brazilians out of poverty, Lula da Silva left office in 2011 after an eight-year term, with a nearly 90 percent approval rating.

Three years later, a criminal investigation estimated that more than $2bn had been largely embezzled through Brazil’s oil company Petrobras' funds. It led to the imprisonment of several politicians, including Lula, who was released in 2019 after the Supreme Court ruled the process had been unlawful.

The former leader is now 75 and a free man. So, does he have ambitions to become Brazil’s president again? Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva talks to Al Jazeera.

While Addis Ababa says the dam is crucial to its economic development, Cairo calls it an existential threat. And Khartoum fears the project will increase the risk of flooding and affect the safe operation of its own dams on the river.

Can Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt find a diplomatic solution to their dispute, or will it escalate further? Sudan’s Irrigation Minister Yasser Abbas talks to Al Jazeera.
