Renewed Anti-Hamas protests erupted in Khan Yunis today, with residents filling the streets, chanting “We want to live,” and denouncing Hamas’ use of civilians as human shields.

Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani placed the blame squarely on Israel for the collapse of the latest ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, speaking candidly during an appearance at the Qatar Economic Forum on Tuesday. He described a deep disconnect between the two sides’ goals in the talks, which he said made compromise impossible.
“There is a fundamental gap between the two parties. One party is looking for a partial deal that might have the possibility to lead to a comprehensive deal, and the other party is looking for a one-off deal to end the war and to get all the hostages out,” the Prime Minister stated, “We couldn’t bridge this fundamental gap with whatever proposals we have provided given the past experiance of the first deal that collapsed.”

The nation’s largest public power company, the Tennessee Valley Authority, announced Tuesday it submitted a construction permit application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a small, modular nuclear reactor. It wants to develop next-generation nuclear power in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, at its Clinch River site.
