On March 30, 2025, the Palestinian Quds News Network published an X post citing a statement from senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri calling for attacks on Israeli and American interests in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's plan of "voluntary relocation" for Gazans.[1]
According to the post, Abu Zuhri claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent statements about Israel's intent to implement Trump's plan reveal an "American-Zionist scheme linked to the displacement project." During a government meeting that morning, Netanyahu declared that Israel would "enable the implementation of Trump's plan."[2]
Abu Zuhri asserted: "In the face of this diabolical plan, which combines massacres and starvation, everyone who can bear arms anywhere in the world must act. Do not spare an IED, a bullet, a knife, or a stone. Let everyone break their silence. We are all sinners if the interests of America and the Zionist occupation remain safe in light of the slaughter and starvation of Gaza."
On March 18, the Palestine Scholars Association (PSA), which is led by members of Hamas, urged Muslims to carry out "jihad operations" against Israeli and American interests around the world.[3] On the same day, Hamas called to besiege Israeli and U.S. embassies worldwide.[4]

Syria to demand Golan heights withdrawal in any deal with Israel
Shafaq News – Damascus As discussions around a potential shift in Syria's leadership continue, Israeli sources have raised doubts about the likelihood of progress in any future negotiations. The Golan Heights — a territory occupied by Israel since 1967 — appears to remain a central obstacle. According to a report by Ynet, Israeli officials said there is serious doubt whether the new Syrian leader, Ahmad al-Sharaa, would agree to any peace deal with Israel that did not include an Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights, conquered in the 1967 Six-Day War. The officials said the United States was informed about the negotiations, and they were centered on more than security arrangements.

US envoy Barrack: Iran-Israel war opens door for Mideast peace
Shafaq News – Damascus On Sunday, the United States envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, described the recent military confrontation between Iran and Israel as a potential turning point for the Middle East, anticipating that a ceasefire in Gaza could be announced in the near future. In remarks to Turkiye's Anadolu Agency, Barrack framed the escalation as an opportunity to reshape regional dynamics. 'What happened between Israel and Iran is a chance to say, 'Enough — let's open a new path,'' he stated. He also pointed to growing regional openness to renewed diplomacy, highlighting that populations across the Middle East have grown increasingly fatigued by prolonged tensions and entrenched narratives. 'I think you will see a return to the Abraham Accords, particularly as conditions in Gaza improve — that is the main bet,' he added. Expanding on the implications beyond Gaza, Barrack identified the post-conflict phase as a moment to advance broader peace efforts involving Israel, Syria, and Lebanon. He further referenced comments from Syria's transitional President, Ahmad al-Sharaa, who expressed readiness to establish peaceful relations with Israel and stabilize the border. 'I believe a similar process will unfold with Lebanon. A peace agreement with Israel is now essential,' Barrack noted. Addressing US-Turkiye relations, Barrack acknowledged unresolved disputes over the F-35 fighter jet program and American sanctions on Ankara. Still, he expressed confidence that both issues could be settled before the end of the year, adding that US President Donald Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan would instruct their foreign ministers to find a resolution.

Khamenei dismisses Trump's strike claims as 'exaggerated'
Shafaq News – Tehran On Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed US President Donald Trump's recent remarks regarding American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, describing the comments as exaggerated and misleading. In a post on X, Khamenei argued that Trump had overstated the impact of the strikes to obscure what he referred to as a 'hidden truth' behind the operation. رئیس‌جمهور آمریکا در شرح آنچه که واقع شد، بزرگنمایی غیرمتعارفی کرد که معلوم شد به این بزرگنمایی احتیاج دارد. هرکسی میشنید آن حرفها را میفهمید که در زیر ظاهر این حرفها یک حقیقت دیگری وجود دارد. کاری نتوانستند انجام بدهند و بزرگنمایی میکنند تا حقیقت را بپوشانند و مکتوم نگه دارند. — | فارسی 🇮🇷 (@Khamenei_fa) June 29, 2025 'The US President used highly exaggerated language to describe what occurred,' Khamenei wrote adding that 'Everyone who heard those words could sense that something else was being concealed.' Yesterday, Trump renewed his criticism of Khamenei's previous remarks on the ongoing conflict with Israel, questioning the credibility of the Supreme Leader's statements, and casting doubt on their accuracy. The US President also rejected claims that he had offered Iran $30 billion to help develop a civilian nuclear program, dismissing the reports as fabrications by what he described as 'dishonest media outlets aiming to mislead the public.'
