Russia calls on Ukraine to receive bodies of 6,000 soldiers, adhere to Istanbul agreement
Moscow – Saba: Head of the Russian delegation to the Istanbul negotiations Vladimir Medinsky on Saturday called on the Ukrainian side to receive the bodies of 6,000 of its soldiers to enable their families to bury them properly. Medinsky explained that the Ukrainian side had suddenly postponed the process of receiving the bodies and exchanging prisoners of war, according to the Russia Today website. He said: "Russia calls on Kyiv to receive the bodies of 6,000 Ukrainian soldiers and officers so that their families can bury them with dignity." According to the agreement of the last round of negotiations in Istanbul, a humanitarian operation was scheduled to begin on Friday, including the transfer of the bodies of more than 6,000 Ukrainian forces, in addition to the exchange of wounded and seriously ill prisoners, and all prisoners under the age of 25. The first batch includes 1,212 frozen bodies of Ukrainian soldiers, which were transported via refrigerated trucks to the exchange area, while the remaining bodies are still on their way. Medinsky confirmed that Russia has provided Ukraine with a preliminary list of 640 prisoners from the agreed-upon categories. He noted that the Russian Ministry of Defense's liaison team is present on the border with Ukraine, but the Ukrainian side has postponed the process without providing clear reasons. Medinsky stated that the Ukrainian negotiating team has not arrived at the exchange site, describing the excuses offered by Kyiv as "disparate and somewhat strange." Medinsky urged Ukraine to adhere to the agreed-upon timetable and begin the exchange process immediately, saying, "Let's give 1,200 soldiers and officers from each side the opportunity to return home. We also demand the return of the bodies of 6,000 Ukrainian servicemen so that their families can bury them humanely." Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Hamas: Zionist enemy army intensifying criminal shelling of inhabited homes
Gaza – Saba: Hamas confirmed on Saturday that the Zionist enemy army is intensifying its criminal shelling of inhabited homes in various areas of the Gaza Strip, Palestine.

The movement considered these crimes "an escalation of the brutal genocide that has been ongoing for more than twenty months" against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. The movement added in its statement: "The fascist enemy government continues its blatant defiance of international laws, conventions, and humanitarian norms, and persists in committing horrific massacres against entire families, including the Khader family, of whom more than 40 members were martyred yesterday, Friday, including doctors, engineers, and children, following an airstrike that destroyed the residential building where they were gathered." Hamas called on the international community and Arab and Islamic countries to take urgent action to stop these brutal crimes and confront the policy of ethnic cleansing. The racist policies pursued by the government of the terrorist and war criminal Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court, against the Palestinian people, and serious work to hold the enemy's war criminal leaders accountable for their crimes against humanity.

Al-Ahrar Al-Filastiniyya says Zionist enemy using art to starve innocent people to death, bomb homes, shelters
Gaza – Saba: Al-Ahrar Al-Filastiniyya Movement said on Saturday that the Zionist enemy is deliberately using its art to starve innocent people to death and bomb homes and shelters, with their residents inside, in full view of the Arab and Islamic world. The movement added in a statement, "In response to this, we do not see any Arab or Islamic condemnation or action. We are united with them by one Eid. How can the Arab and Islamic nations live while the Palestinian people are being slaughtered in cold blood with the weapons of hunger and genocide? How can they enjoy a holiday?" The movement pointed out that the Nazi Zionist enemy once again committed a horrific, bloody massacre during the blessed Eid al-Adha, targeting the home of the Abu Sharia family in Gaza, leaving more than 15 martyrs and many more wounded, some of whom remain under the rubble to this day. It condemned in the strongest terms the criminal Zionist enemy's perpetration of these massacres and slaughters against innocent civilians, children, and women, holding the US administration fully responsible for these crimes, as well as the Zionist Nazis for their unlimited support in terms of equipment, supplies, and international cover. The movement emphasized that the Nazi Zionist enemy and its fascist leaders are persistently targeting innocent Palestinian children and women, every time the resistance fighters make them taste the horrors of hell, open its gates upon them, and pelt them with the stones of David, destroying their pride, shattering their chariots, and humiliating their embattled army and leaders. The movement condemned the suspicious international silence regarding the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, which only whets the appetite of the Zionist enemy to continue its aggression and commit more war crimes, with the green light in its hand. The movement called on "international and UN organizations, and the unjust world that applies double standards, to assume their responsibilities, pressure the Zionist enemy to stop the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip, and work seriously to halt the crimes of genocide against the people of the Gaza Strip."
