U.S. Rejects "Hamas" Response Emphasizing Rights of Palestinian People
Washington - (Saba):
The United States, through its special envoy, Steven Witkoff, rejected on Sunday the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)'s response to the latest US proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, deeming it "totally unacceptable."
Hamas, however, confirmed that it had submitted its response to mediators after a round of national consultations, stressing that "the content of the response reflects its commitment to a permanent ceasefire, a comprehensive withdrawal of enemy forces from Gaza, and ensuring the unrestricted flow of humanitarian aid, in addition to a prisoner exchange agreement that includes the release of ten living Israeli prisoners and the return of the bodies of 18 others, in exchange for an agreed-upon number of Palestinian prisoners," according to Quds Press.
For their part, the resistance factions clarified in a joint statement that they "worked diligently on a formula to halt the famine, provide shelter, end the genocide, and pave the way for a state of stability that preserves the dignity of our people." They emphasized that "since the beginning of the war, no real plan has been presented to them to halt the aggression or guarantee the basic rights of the Palestinian people."
The enemy forces reneged on the January 19 agreement, brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, and resumed their aggression on March 18, continuing their policy of genocide. Meanwhile, the resistance remained open to any effort to stop the war and protect civilians.

Death Toll of Palestinians rises to 33 amid continued Israeli Aggression Across Gaza
Gaza – SABA: The number of Palestinians martyred since early Monday in the Gaza Strip has risen to 33 due to ongoing Israeli attacks across various areas, as part of the genocide campaign launched on October 7, 2023. In the latest assault, five Palestinians were killed and others injured when Israeli forces bombed a populated house belonging to the Al-Nadeem family in central Gaza City, according to a medical source. Eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency that several victims remain trapped under the rubble, while civil defense teams are working with extremely limited resources to rescue them. Earlier, three Palestinians were killed and others wounded when Israel targeted the upper floor of Al-Aisha School, which was sheltering displaced people in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. The same source reported that the death toll from an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Barsh family home in Jabalia, northern Gaza, has risen from 9 to 16. The bodies of the victims were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza and Al-Baptist Hospital in the east. Additionally, one Palestinian woman was martyred and others injured in an Israeli strike on the Junaid family home in Jabalia. Earlier Monday, four Palestinians were martyred and several others wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting civilians near Abu Sharakh roundabout in northern Gaza. In central Gaza, one Palestinian was martyred and two others critically injured in an Israeli strike on a municipal vehicle in Al-Bureij. Eyewitnesses said the martyr was a municipal employee. No official statement has been issued by the municipality. Two fishermen were also injured by Israeli gunfire while working on the Gaza City coast. At dawn Monday, three Palestinians were martyred by Israeli gunfire while attempting to collect 'aid' near a U.S.-operated distribution center west of Rafah City. Dozens of others were injured by Israeli gunfire near the same center, which is managed by an American company with Israeli approval. One Palestinian, injured by Israeli fire while attempting to collect aid west of Rafah, died from his wounds on Sunday, according to the same medical source. Away from UN and international humanitarian supervision, Israel began on May 27 implementing a controversial aid distribution scheme through the so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,' backed by Israeli and American entities. Distribution occurs in so-called 'buffer zones' in southern Gaza, but the plan appears to be failing due to overwhelming crowds of starving civilians and repeated Israeli gunfire on the gathered crowds, resulting in deaths and injuries. Since last Tuesday, the total number of victims at these 'aid distribution points' has reached 52 martyrs and 340 injured, with Israeli forces reportedly turning the sites into 'mass killing traps,' according to the Gaza Government Media Office and Health Ministry data as of midday Monday. Meanwhile, Israel intensified its nighttime air and artillery bombardments on various parts of Gaza, especially in the north and east of Gaza City. Eyewitnesses reported the continued demolition of residential buildings in eastern Gaza City, northern governorate areas, and east of Khan Younis in the south. They also confirmed that Israeli forces destroyed 'Al-Ansar Mosque' in Deir al-Balah after targeting it with three missiles. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Jordanian Foreign Ministry condemns Zionist Settlers' storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque
Amman – SABA: The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Zionist settlers, along with the provocative and unacceptable practices that accompanied it, which aim to desecrate the mosque. The ministry described these actions as a blatant violation of international law and the established historical and legal status of Jerusalem and its holy sites. The ministry's spokesperson, Sufyan Al-Qudah, affirmed Jordan's absolute rejection and strong condemnation of the repeated incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque by extremist Zionist settlers. He described the act as a provocative and inciting attempt to impose new facts on the ground by dividing the mosque temporally and spatially. He warned of the grave consequences of these continued violations and desecration attempts, which he said would not be possible without the facilitation and protection of the extremist settlers by the occupying Israeli police. He demanded that 'Israel' immediately cease all irresponsible practices and end them without delay. Al-Qudah stressed that Al-Aqsa Mosque is a place of worship exclusively for Muslims and reaffirmed that the Jordanian Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs' Jerusalem Waqf Department is the sole legal authority responsible for managing the mosque's affairs and regulating access to it.
