News24 | Hamas demands ‘fully sovereign Palestinian state’ before it will lay down weapons

‘Disarmament Is Not…’ Hamas Refuses To Disarm Without Palestinian State | Hostage Crisis EXPLODES

Tensions in the Middle East escalated as Hamas declared it will not disarm unless a fully sovereign Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital. This declaration came after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Hamas showed willingness to lay down arms—an assertion Hamas quickly rejected. Israel, meanwhile, maintains disarmament as a non-negotiable precondition for any ceasefire deal. As ceasefire negotiations stall, pressure builds from Western and Arab nations urging Hamas to give up arms. Meanwhile, a shocking video of Israeli hostage Evyatar David emaciated in captivity triggered a fresh wave of outrage. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with UN agencies reporting hundreds killed while seeking aid. U.S. envoy Witkoff, currently in Israel, has met with hostage families and criticized partial peace plans. With over 60,000 deaths in Gaza and starvation rising, global calls intensify for an urgent resolution to end the bloodshed. #gaza #hamas #israel #trump #witkoff #hostagecrisis #ceasefire #gazawar #palestine #netanyahu #usenvoy #twostatesolution #humanitariancatastrophe #gazafamine #idf #reconstruction #telavivprotests #gazaceasefire #hamasdisarmament #middleeastpeace ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.102~

Israel In Turmoil As Anti-Govt Fury Erupts Over Gaza Bombings, Hostages | Netanyahu To Flee?

Tel Aviv witnessed emotional and politically charged protests as the war in Gaza and the unresolved hostage crisis continue to haunt Israel. On one end of the city’s beachside, left-wing Israeli activists staged a solemn vigil, holding up photos of Palestinian children killed during the months-long bombardment of Gaza. The haunting memorial served as a reminder of the devastating toll on civilians. Simultaneously, hundreds gathered outside the Defence Ministry headquarters demanding swift government action for the release of hostages still held captive by Palestinian militants since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks. The dual protests, though emotionally and ideologically different, reflect a nation torn between grief, anger, and the urgent desire for closure. As frustration grows, both against Hamas and within Israeli leadership, the demonstrations reveal deep cracks in public sentiment over how the Gaza war has been waged — and what it’s left behind. #TelAvivProtests #GazaWar #HostageCrisis #IsraelPalestine #October7Attack #WarToll #PalestinianChildren #HamasHostages #IsraeliProtest #GazaConflict #LeftWingActivism #DefenceMinistryProtest #IsraelUnrest #HostagesInGaza #GazaCasualties #ProtestForPeace #GazaWarDeaths #VigilForChildren #IsraelCracks #MiddleEastTensions ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.102~

BREAKING: Cambodia To Nominate Trump For Nobel Peace Prize After Brokering Ceasefire With Thailand

Cambodia is set to nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, crediting his pivotal role in negotiating a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand after a deadly five-day border conflict. Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol hailed Trump’s “great efforts for peace,” saying his intervention — including threats to pull out of trade talks — forced both Southeast Asian nations to come to the negotiating table. The ceasefire, brokered in Malaysia, ended the region’s worst violence in over a decade, which left at least 43 people dead and displaced over 300,000. Trump said the war “would have turned nasty,” but was halted by leveraging trade diplomacy. This marks Trump’s third recent Nobel recommendation, following nominations by Israel and Pakistan for mediating other global crises. The Cambodian leader also praised Trump for reducing tariffs on Cambodian exports, sparing the nation’s garment and footwear sector from economic collapse. #Trump #Cambodia #Thailand #NobelPeacePrize #TrumpNobelNomination #Ceasefire #BorderConflict #CambodiaThailandWar #PeaceDeal #TrumpDiplomacy #Geopolitics #TrumpPeaceEfforts #CambodiaConflict #TradeWar #Trump2025 #AsiaNews #MalaysiaMediation #Netanyahu #GazaHostages #GlobalPolitics ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.124~

Gaza Latest: 10 K#lled In Israeli Fire Near Aid Sites | Starvation Deaths And Hostage Crisis Spiral

At least 10 Palestinians were k#lled after Israeli fire targeted civilians near two Gaza aid sites, just as hunger-related deaths surged, with seven dying in 24 hours, including a child. Witnesses say Israeli troops opened fire on crowds near the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site and at the Zikim crossing, days after a top U.S. envoy visited. The deadly incident follows the deaths of 859 Palestinians near GHF zones since May. Meanwhile, starvation claims more lives as food trucks remain blocked and airdrops prove insufficient. Hostage families fear their loved ones are starving too and demand a deal. As U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff meets families in Tel Aviv, pressure mounts on Israel to negotiate. Airstrikes on shelters and tents continue to k#ll civilians as Gaza plunges deeper into crisis. With 93 children now confirmed dead from malnutrition, the war's humanitarian cost is spiraling into catastrophe. #gaza #gazawar #israelpalestine #humanitariancatastrophe #aiddeaths #hostagecrisis #usenvoy #ghf #gazaairstrikes #malnutritiondeaths #gazachildren #gazaaid #trumpenvoy #rafah #zikim #nasserhospital #ghfshooting #foodblockade #gazastarvation #humanrights ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~
