US-Israeli Gaza genocide
The Israeli killing machine massacres more Palestinian civilians, as the regime’s air and artillery strikes continue to ravage the besieged Gaza Strip. In one of the deadliest strikes, at least 15 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were killed and many others injured after displaced people’s tents were hit near the al-Mawasi refugee camp in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. Also in Khan Yunis, an Israeli drone strike claimed the lives of at least two Palestinians. To the north, a similar strike killed at least 6 Palestinians and injured several others. Israeli strikes in central Gaza were also deadly, killing over a dozen people in Deir al-Balah and the al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City. A Palestinian journalist and 10 members of her family were among those killed in the bombing of their home in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood. The Israeli genocide, which began in October 2023, has so far killed more than 51,000 Palestinians, leaving over 116,400 others injured.
Gaza ceasefire efforts
The Hamas resistance movement says it is ready to negotiate a comprehensive truce agreement that would lead to a permanent ceasefire and full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. Senior Hamas official Bassem Naim said the deal must also include the reopening of Gaza’s crossings, reconstruction of the territory, and a serious prisoner exchange deal. He firmly rejected the idea of a partial deal in exchange for entry of food and water into Gaza without an end to the genocide, calling it is a relic of the past. The Hamas official stressed that without meeting these demands, no deal will be possible. Naim emphasized that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his extremist cabinet remain the sole obstacle to such an agreement, as they pursue their own personal and political interests. He added that any effort by Netanyahu to prolong the war will cost the regime, especially Israeli captives in Gaza, dearly.
IAEA chief in Tehran
Iran says the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, can play a significant role in the forthcoming negotiations between Tehran and Washington. Araghchi made the remarks during a meeting with IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi in Tehran. The Iranian top diplomat expressed hope that the agency will fulfill its role impartially, without being influenced by political interests of other parties. He added that the IAEA must continue to act effectively and resolve differences through diplomacy. For his part, Grossi said the UN nuclear watchdog is determined to play a constructive role in resolving disputes between its member states through diplomatic means.
