Hamas Exposes Flaws In Pro-Israel Trump-Led Witkoff Ceasefire Deal; Demands Full IDF Exit From Gaza

Hamas has rejected the US-brokered ceasefire plan led by Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, calling it biased and lacking in substance. Senior Hamas official Jihad Taha said the proposal fails to address key Palestinian demands, including a full Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza and binding guarantees to end hostilities. While reports suggest preliminary progress during talks in Doha, Hamas remains deeply skeptical, warning of a worsening humanitarian crisis unless the international community intervenes urgently. #IsraelHamasWar #GazaCeasefire #HamasIsraelDeal #TrumpPeacePlan #SteveWitkoff #MiddleEastConflict #IDFWithdrawal #CeasefireNow #GazaUnderAttack #IsraelGazaWar #USMediation #HamasDemands #TrumpEnvoy #WitkoffProposal #GazaCrisis2025 Also Read Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~PR.152~

Israel strikes 100+ Gaza targets: Protesters flood Tel Aviv, demanding hostages’ release, End to war

Tensions rise as thousands of protesters gather in Tel Aviv, rallying around a powerful message written on the streets: “No innocents in the government.” Meanwhile, Israel continues its intense military campaign in Gaza, striking over 100 targets overnight in response to Hamas attacks. With cease-fire talks stalled in Doha, the demand for the release of remaining hostages grows louder, while diplomatic tensions flare between Israel and Western nations. Former hostage Agam Berger rejects diplomatic solutions, insisting that this conflict is a fight for survival. This video dives into the protests, the military offensive, and the complex geopolitical fallout shaping this escalating crisis. #Israel #Gaza #TelAvivProtests #Hostages #Netanyahu #Hamas #MiddleEastConflict #Ceasefire #WarInGaza #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #IsraelDefense #HumanRights #InternationalRelations #ConflictUpdate Also Read Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc

Israeli Airstrike Kills 24 Palestinians In Gaza's Khan Younis As Bombings Escalate For Third Day

At least 24 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a tent camp for displaced families in Khan Younis, Gaza. The strike came as Israel intensified its military assault over the past 72 hours, killing hundreds. Tents caught fire, and scores were wounded. Hamas condemned the attack as a “new brutal crime” and blamed the U.S. for enabling the violence. Despite renewed ceasefire talks in Doha led by Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S., no breakthrough has been reported as fighting escalates further in the enclave. #GazaUnderAttack #KhanYounis #IsraelHamasWar #PalestineCrisis #GazaBombing #CeasefireNow #FreePalestine #GazaMassacre #DisplacedFamilies #AirstrikeOnGaza #GazaTentsBurning #StopTheWar #HumanitarianCrisis #GazaChildren #USInvolvement #DohaTalks #WarCrimes #GazaUpdates #MiddleEastConflict #CiviliansInDanger ~HT.318~ED.346~

Marking 77 years since the Nakba, tens of thousands joined a massive pro-Palestine protest in London, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. The march, from Embankment to Downing Street, condemned the ongoing "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians. It coincided with Israel’s intensified bombing of Gaza, killing over 150 in 24 hours. As ceasefire talks resumed in Doha, Israel threatened continued military operations unless progress was made.

Reduced to ASHES in Seconds! The Moment Mohammed Sinwar was blown apart in IDF Strike

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed the death of Hamas chief Mohammed Sinwar in a targeted IDF operation. The strike, carried out on May 13 beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis, marked a major blow to Hamas leadership. Sinwar, brother of slain leader Yahya Sinwar, had succeeded him after his death. His elimination leaves only one known pre-war Hamas brigade leader alive, signaling a possible turning point in Israel's effort to dismantle the militant group’s command structure. #Israel #Netanyahu #MohammedSinwar #Hamas #IDF #KhanYounis #GazaStrike #HamasLeadership #YahyaSinwar #TunnelWarfare #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews #GazaWar #IsraelDefenseForces #GazaUpdate #IDFOperations #CounterTerrorism #MilitaryStrike #SinwarKilled #GazaTunnel #GazaHospitalStrike #HamasChiefDead #IsraelHamasConflict #WarOnTerror #SecurityUpdate #SinwarBrothers #ConflictNews Also Read Israel Recovers Thousands of Items from Eli Cohen's Syrian Archive After 60 Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-recovers-syrian-archive-eli-cohen-spy-011-4157213.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu: Response To Iran-Backed Houthi Attack Will Come With ‘Many Bangs’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-response-to-iran-backed-houthi-attack-will-come-with-many-bangs-4143405.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~
