Munich airport was forced to halt operations again late on Friday over suspected drone sightings, a day after drones caused more than 30 flights to be cancelled there and left nearly 3,000 passengers stranded.

Hamas on Saturday said statements by US President Donald Trump calling on Israel to stop bombing Gaza are “encouraging”, expressing readiness to immediately negotiate for the release of hostages and an end to the war.

Flights were suspended at 21:30 local time, with around 6,500 passengers affected.
