Netanyahu in Washington as Trump Hopes for Gaza Ceasefire Agreement - Jordan News
Netanyahu in Washington as Trump Hopes for Gaza Ceasefire Agreement Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in Washington on Monday, where he is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, who expressed optimism about reaching a ceasefire deal with Hamas this week that would include the release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip. اضافة اعلان Indirect negotiations between Tel Aviv and Hamas resumed Sunday evening in Doha, focusing on the implementation mechanisms for a potential agreement, including prisoner exchange, according to a Palestinian source familiar with the talks. President Trump stated on Sunday that there is a "good chance" for an agreement, telling reporters: 'We've already succeeded in getting several hostages out, and we expect a substantial number of the remaining hostages to be released this week.' Before departing Ben Gurion Airport, Netanyahu said he believes the upcoming meeting with Trump could "definitely contribute" to advancing a goal they both share—securing a ceasefire and hostage release. The White House confirmed the meeting is expected after 6:30 p.m. local time (22:30 GMT), but without the usual media presence. Trump is pushing for a ceasefire in Gaza, which has faced a catastrophic humanitarian crisis after nearly 21 months of war. Netanyahu stated: 'I have sent a negotiating team with clear instructions... to finalize the agreement as discussed, under the terms we approved.' However, on Saturday, Netanyahu described Hamas's recent amendments to the deal as 'unacceptable.' A Proposal on the Table According to Palestinian sources, the new proposal includes: A 60-day ceasefire Hamas releasing half of the living Israeli hostages Israel freeing a significant number of Palestinian detainees Hamas is reportedly demanding: Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza during the truce International guarantees to prevent the resumption of hostilities UN and internationally recognized NGOs to oversee the distribution of humanitarian aid A Mission of High Stakes Israeli President Isaac Herzog commented after meeting with Netanyahu on Sunday, saying the Prime Minister has a 'mission of great importance' in Washington: 'To bring all our hostages home.' There are still 49 hostages held in Gaza, including 27 declared dead by Israeli authorities. Previous Ceasefires A first ceasefire in November 2023, and a second truce for nearly two months in early 2025, led to the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, through Qatari, American, and Egyptian mediation. However, no deal was reached for the next phase, prompting Israel to resume military operations in mid-March, intensifying them in May with the stated aim of eliminating Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007. — AFP

11,280 Israeli Violations Against Palestinians in First Half of 2025 - Jordan News
11,280 Israeli Violations Against Palestinians in First Half of 2025 The Israeli occupation forces and extremist settlers carried out a total of 11,280 attacks against Palestinian civilians, property, land, and holy sites across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem during the first half of 2025, according to Muayyad Shaaban, Head of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission in the Palestinian Authority. اضافة اعلان Speaking at a press conference on Monday to announce the commission's mid-year report titled 'Violations of the Occupation State on Palestinian Lands and Colonial Expansion Policies', Shaaban stated that this sharp escalation in both the number and intensity of attacks coincides with Israel's ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip and other areas of Palestinian presence. He noted that the attacks included: Land confiscations Settlement expansion Forced displacement Field executions Land destruction and tree uprooting Property seizures Road closures and checkpoints, which fragment Palestinian geography Geographical Breakdown of Attacks: Ramallah: 1,975 incidents Hebron: 1,918 incidents Nablus: 1,784 incidents Shaaban emphasized that in the past six months, Israel has intensified its efforts to seize Palestinian territory through not only the expansion of illegal outposts and settlements, but also through unprecedented legislative measures and military orders aimed at altering the geographic and political landscape of Palestine. Settler Violence: A total of 2,153 attacks were carried out by settlers during the same period, leading to the killing of four Palestinian civilians. These attacks involved: Assaults on villages Arson attacks on homes Live fire at residents Land grabs and the establishment of new outposts Vandalism of roads and vehicles Organized, high-intensity raids—such as those in Kafr Malik, Al-Mughayyir, Beita, and Sinjil Shaaban warned that the Palestinian cause is facing its most dangerous phase yet, with Israel's policies aiming at annexation and imposition of sovereignty, putting the Palestinian people and leadership at a critical crossroads. — (Petra News Agency)

Yasser Abu Shabab makes first statement since Hamas' surrender warning
Published July 7th, 2025 - 11:00 GMT ALBAWABA - Yasser Abu Shabab, the leader of the Popular Forces in southern Gaza, made his first announcement since the Hamas court gave him 10 days to surrender himself. The Revolutionary Court of the Military Judiciary Authority in Gaza warned Yasser Abu Shabab, the 35-year-old leader of the group, allegedly backed by Israel, to surrender himself for trial. The Popular Forces responded via a statement on Facebook that the court's order is nothing but a 'sitcom that doesn't frighten us, nor does it frighten any free man who loves his homeland and its dignity'. Israeli and Palestinian media are calling the group the "Popular Forces," and it is an armed Bedouin clan led by Yasser Abu Shabab, reportedly consisting of about 100 armed men. — موسكو | 🇷🇺 MOSCOW NEWS (@M0SC0W0) July 7, 2025 Abu Shabab told Israeli media that the group is backed by the Palestinian Authority but not by Israel. He said: "My clan is spread over an area that extends from the Negev to the Sinai. We are a big family, and everyone supports me and my actions," Ynet reported on Monday. Yasser further maintained that Hamas accuses him of being "a criminal, a thief, a member of ISIS," with the aim of keeping people away from him. "But that has not worked. Anyone who kidnaps and kills children, like the Bibas family, has no right to define or judge others. They are subhuman, vile and despicable people, and their end is near," he added. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
