The World Health Organization says it stands ready to scale up its support in Gaza following a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.

US President Donald Trump says Israel’s captives will be released only after Hamas is “destroyed,” openly giving a green light to Israel’s plan to occupy Gaza City, while the Palestinian resistance movement has accepted a proposed deal for ceasefire and prisoner exchange with the occupying regime.

The Israeli regime’s former military and political officials have warned that prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “dragging Israel into the abyss."

In response to Witkoff's 60-day ceasefire proposal, Hamas wants a guarantees deal to lead to a permanent ceasefire.

Hamas response to US-led proposal included a demand for an end to Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.

A senior official from the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has underscored the need for a “comprehensive” agreement to end the ongoing Israeli aggression across the besieged Gaza Strip.

Israeli broadcaster KAN says the Israeli military has used a fabricated tunnel discovery in Gaza to delay a captive/prisoner exchange deal.

The Israeli regime has carried out deadly airstrikes on several areas across the Gaza Strip, killing 9, including children.
