Kremlin Names Condition for Ukraine Talks between Putin, Zelensky, Trump
Direct talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin, his US counterpart Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky on the Ukrainian settlement can only take place after results in negotiations between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
'Putin has repeatedly said that he is fundamentally in favor of high-level contacts, which are certainly needed, but they must be prepared, and results must first be achieved in direct negotiations between the delegations of the two countries beforehand. If such results are achieved, and when they are achieved, then, of course, there may be talk of high-level contacts,' the spokesman said.
This was how Peskov commented on the words of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan's words. The top diplomat expressed hope that Russia and Ukraine would complete the technical stage of negotiations on June 2. Afterwards, a meeting of the leaders of Turkey, the US, Russia, and Ukraine could be held.

Gaza Ceasefire Talks Advance as Trump Says Deal with Hamas ‘Very Close'
Efforts to halt the war in Gaza gained new momentum early Saturday as US President Donald Trump said that Hamas and the Israeli occupation are seeking 'a way out of the chaos,' indicating that a ceasefire agreement in Gaza could be imminent. His remarks come after earlier affirming that negotiations were nearing a breakthrough, as the Israeli offensive in Gaza faces mounting international condemnation over the scale of civilian casualties and destruction. Speaking from the White House late Friday, Trump stated that 'Hamas and Israel are very close to reaching a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. We'll let you know later today or perhaps tomorrow. We have a real opportunity.' The statement signaled a potential turning point in months of conflict and behind-the-scenes diplomacy. US President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday that he believes they're 'very close' to a new ceasefire in Gaza. Earlier, Israel warned Hamas to accept the US-backed proposal or be 'annihilated' — Middle East Eye (@MiddleEastEye) May 31, 2025 Hamas Engaged in Talks as Ceasefire Framework Emerges On Friday, Hamas confirmed it is holding consultations with Palestinian factions regarding a ceasefire proposal submitted by US Middle East envoy Steve Weitkov. The proposal was delivered through Qatari and Egyptian mediators. In a statement, Hamas said it was discussing the terms of the ceasefire offer with allied Palestinian groups, signaling serious engagement with the initiative. In response, Israeli War Minister Yisrael Katz said Hamas must now decide between accepting the terms of the Weitkov proposal—including the release of Israeli captives—or facing full-scale annihilation. On the same day, Israeli Channel 12 quoted Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi as saying that if a deal is within reach, military operations should be paused to secure it, even if the agreement is partial. He emphasized that Israel cannot allow itself to be drawn into an indefinite war. The Zionist cabinet had already approved the Weitkov plan on Thursday. According to Israeli media, the proposal is seen as the most favorable to Israel among all previous ceasefire frameworks discussed since the conflict began. Details of the Weitkov Proposal According to reports by Al Jazeera, the US proposal centers on a 60-day ceasefire, during which Israel would suspend all offensive military operations in Gaza. Trump is said to personally guarantee Israeli compliance with the terms during the truce period. The proposal includes the release of 10 live Israeli captives and the remains of 18 others from a list of 58 detainees. Under the terms, five live captives and nine bodies would be handed over on the first day of the agreement, with the remaining detainees released on the seventh day. In exchange, the Israeli occupation would release 180 Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life, along with 1,111 individuals from Gaza arrested since October 7, 2023. Additionally, the remains of 180 deceased Palestinians would be returned in exchange for the bodies of the 18 Zionist captives. The agreement also stipulates the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza upon Hamas's approval of the ceasefire. Aid distribution would be conducted through mutually agreed channels, including the United Nations and the Red Crescent, and maintained throughout the duration of the truce. On the first day of implementation of the agreement, according to the 'Wittkopf Proposal,' negotiations will begin under the auspices of the guarantor mediators regarding the arrangements necessary for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

Ukraine Yet to Decide on Participation in Istanbul Talks
Ukraine wants to see a document setting out Russia's proposals for a peace deal before it sends a delegation to Istanbul for bilateral talks, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on Friday. Russia has proposed that negotiators from the two sides meet in Istanbul on June 2, but Kyiv has said it needs reassurances that Moscow is sincere about wanting to end the war. Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago, made the proposal after U.S. President Donald Trump urged Moscow and Kyiv to work together on a peace deal. Expectations for the talks are modest because the positions staked out so far by the two sides are far apart and work between them has yet to begin in earnest on narrowing the gap. At a joint news conference in Kyiv on Friday with visiting Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Sybiha stopped short of confirming that Ukraine would take part in the Istanbul talks. "In order for the next planned meeting to be substantive and meaningful, it is important to receive a document in advance so that the delegation that will attend has the authority to discuss the relevant positions," Sybiha said. He said that, to date, Ukraine had not received the memorandum it was expecting from Russian negotiators containing their proposals for discussion in Istanbul. Sybiha did not spell out what Kyiv would do if it did not receive the Russian document, or set out a deadline for receiving it. "We want to end this war this year, and we are interested in establishing a truce, whether it is for 30 days, or for 50 days, or for 100 days," Sybiha said. "Ukraine is open to discussing this directly with Russia. We confirmed this during the last meeting of our delegations with the Russian side."

Hamas reviews ceasefire proposal as Israeli strikes kill at least 14
by Naharnet Newsdesk 30 May 2025, 16:19 Israeli airstrikes killed at least 14 people in the Gaza Strip, hospital officials said Friday, while Hamas was reviewing a new Israeli-approved ceasefire proposal after giving it an initial cool response. President Donald Trump's Mideast envoy had expressed optimism this week about brokering an agreement that could halt the Israel-Hamas war, allow more aid into Gaza, and return more of the 58 hostages still held by Hamas, around a third of whom are alive. Experts say a nearly three-month Israeli blockade of Gaza — slightly eased in recent days — has pushed the population of roughly 2 million Palestinians to the brink of famine. Israel's war in Gaza has killed around 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its tally. The war began with Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which left around 1,200 dead. Here's the latest: US- and Israeli-backed foundation says it distributed over 2 million meals The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said Friday that it distributed more than 2 million of what it described as meals within four days of starting operations. It said that on Friday it distributed six truckloads of food at one distribution point. Hunger and malnutrition have mounted among Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinians since Israel barred entry of food, fuel, medicine and other supplies nearly three months ago, allowing a trickle of aid in only the past two weeks. The GHF has faced criticism by aid groups and Palestinians for a chaotic roll out since it began operations this week. More than a dozen Palestinians described chaos at all three aid hubs on Thursday, with multiple witnesses reporting a free-for-all of people grabbing aid, and they said Israeli troops opened fire to control crowds. The group said that it was committed to safely and effectively supplying food to a "large, hungry population." It said it planned to scale and build additional sites including in the north of Gaza in the coming weeks and that it was testing and adapting its distribution model to safely deliver as much aid as possible to the greatest number of people. Families of hostages plead with Netanyahu Families of hostages held in Gaza are pleading with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ensure that any agreement to end the war must include the freedom of all the hostages. There are 58 hostages left in Gaza, of whom Israel believes approximately a third are still alive. Ayelet Samerano, the mother of Yonatan Samerano, whose body is being held in Gaza, was among the family members who met with Netanyahu on Thursday. She said the news that only 10 hostages and several bodies would be released had once again plunged the families into indescribable uncertainty. "It's again a selection, you know, all the families, we are right now standing and thinking, is it going to be my son? Isn't it? What will be after part of them will come, what will be with the rest?" Israel has accepted a new U.S. proposal for a temporary ceasefire with Hamas, the White House said Thursday, while Hamas has had a cooler response. "If they (Hamas) want guarantees, we will give them guarantees that after the last hostages will back to Israel, we will stop the war," Samerano said. "I'm telling you, Netanyahu, say yes. All our countries say yes, the families say yes. All the families, when we are saying, stop the world and give us the hostages back." At least 14 dead in Gaza strikes, medics say Hospital officials and paramedics say Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip have killed at least 14 people and wounded others. Officials at Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza said the bodies of 12 people, including three women, were brought Friday from the nearby Jabaliya refugee camp. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the bodies of two people as well as nine others who were wounded were taken to Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza City. It said one of the wounded is a doctor who works at the same hospital. Hamas reviewing a new ceasefire proposal Hamas said Friday it was reviewing a new Israeli-approved ceasefire proposal. The White House said Thursday that Israel accepted a new U.S. proposal for a temporary ceasefire with Hamas. Hamas officials, however, gave the draft a cool response, saying that it seeks to perpetuate Israel's policies of killing and starving people in Gaza. Still, the group said it was going to thoroughly review it. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to end the war until all the hostages are released and Hamas is either destroyed or disarmed and sent into exile. Hamas has said it will only release the remaining hostages for a lasting ceasefire and a full Israeli withdrawal. Netanyahu undergoes a routine colonoscopy Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent a routine colonoscopy on Friday morning in Jerusalem, his office said. The office did not provide further information about whether Netanyahu was moderately sedated or under general anesthesia for the procedure. Netanyahu, 75, underwent successful surgery in December to have his prostate removed. Netanyahu has gone to great lengths to bolster a public image of himself as a healthy, energetic leader, as he manages multiple crises including the war in Gaza and his trial for alleged corruption, despite a series of recent health setbacks.
