WALLA: if an agreement is reached, the first stage may include the release of more than 30 captives, some of them alive and some of them dead, and the first stage is expected to include a ceasefire in Gaza for a period of 6 or 7 weeks.

HAMAS TOP OFFICIAL BASEM NAIM:

For the 455th day, the occupation continues its genocide and cleansing against our people in the Gaza Strip.

The current round of negotiations will focus on a complete ceasefire, the withdrawal of the occupation and the return of the displaced.

UN SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON HUMAN RIGHTS:

Targeting hospitals is prohibited, especially during times of conflict.

Targeting hospitals is part of the war of extermination on Gaza.

Former Israeli Minister Haim Ramon wrote in the Israeli newspaper, Maariv: 

Gaza campaign’s failure evident after 15 months of fighting.

Despite heavy losses, Hamas maintains military strength and civilian governance in Gaza.

The Israeli military has failed to achieve its primary goal—toppling Hamas and destroying its military capability.

Even after the deaths of top leaders like Yehya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas still controls areas not occupied by Israeli forces and holds 100 prisoners.

Hamas continues launching rockets into Israel, with attacks still ongoing despite over a year of conflict.

The Gaza war is a “colossal strategic failure,” that should be blamed on flawed military and political strategies.

AXIOS (citing Israeli security officials):

Cautious optimism that the gaps with Hamas can be bridged and a deal can be reached in the coming weeks.

Qatari and Egyptian mediators and members of Trump’s team are pushing to move toward an agreement.

YEDIOTH AHRONOTH: Netanyahu agreed to provide a sufficient mandate to the negotiating delegation that left for Qatar.

AL-QASSAM BRIGADES:

Our fighters destroyed “four Zionist Merkava tanks with a number of highly explosive devices on the axis of advance east of Jabaliya Al-Balad in the northern Gaza Strip.

We targeted a Zionist Merkava tank with a Shawaaz bomb east of Al-Saftawi Street, west of Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
