Hamas expresses readiness to immediately begin intensive negotiations
Gaza – Saba:
Khalil al-Hayya, head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Gaza and head of the negotiating delegation, said on Sunday that "as part of the efforts being made by our mediating brothers to achieve a ceasefire, the movement has been in contact with the US administration over the past few days."
Al-Hayya added in a statement that the movement "has shown great positivity, and the release of the Israeli soldier, who holds dual US citizenship, Idan Alexander, will be part of the steps being taken to achieve a ceasefire, open the crossings, and allow the entry of aid and relief to our people in the Gaza Strip."
He emphasized that the movement "is ready to immediately begin intensive negotiations and make serious efforts to reach a final agreement to end the war, exchange prisoners by mutual consent, and administer the Gaza Strip by an independent, professional body, ensuring continued calm and stability for many years, along with reconstruction and an end to the blockade."
Hamas leader explained that the movement "appreciates the tireless efforts made by the mediating brothers in the sisterly State of Qatar and the Arab Republic of Egypt, as well as the brothers in Turkey, throughout the past period."

U.S. Veto Blocks UN Security Council Resolution to Stop Genocide in Gaza
New York – SABA: The United Nations Security Council failed to pass a resolution on Wednesday evening calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, after the United States used its veto power to block the measure. The draft resolution, submitted by several member states including Algeria, Slovenia, and Denmark, called for an immediate halt to hostilities in Gaza. The U.S. veto demonstrated Washington's ongoing support for the Israeli occupation, which continues to commit acts of genocide and daily massacres against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Fourteen out of the fifteen Security Council members voted in favor of the resolution. Only the United States voted against, using its veto to prevent its adoption. With continued American and European backing, the Israeli military has, since October 7, 2023, carried out a campaign in Gaza that has resulted in the martyrdom of 54,607 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and the injury of 125,341 others. These figures remain incomplete, as thousands of victims are still trapped under rubble and in streets unreachable by rescue and medical crews. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Hamas: Settler Crimes in Deir Dibwan Are Part of Israel's Ongoing Judaization and Eradication Policy
Gaza – SABA: The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemned the recent crimes committed by Israeli settlers in the town of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah, on Wednesday evening, describing them as a continuation of the Zionist eradication and Judaization policy pursued by the far-right Israeli occupation government. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), Hamas denounced the escalating attacks carried out by settler militias, which are backed by the Israeli army, across the occupied West Bank. The statement specifically highlighted the violent assault on Deir Dibwan, during which settlers targeted Palestinian homes and property, in addition to a broader pattern of systematic abuse and aggression throughout West Bank towns and villages. Hamas stated: 'These attacks, occurring alongside intensified settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, represent the practical implementation of silent annexation and forced displacement plans, even in the absence of formal declarations.' The movement emphasized that the settlers' crimes, committed with full protection and support from their fascist government, will not deter the Palestinian people from holding onto their land and rights. Instead, such actions will fuel greater resilience, determination, and resistance. Hamas called upon all Palestinians, factions, and resistance movements in the West Bank to unify and confront settler terrorism, defend the land, people, and holy sites, and escalate all forms of resistance against the Israeli occupation wherever it exists. The movement also urged the Palestinian Authority and its security forces to fulfill their national responsibilities at this critical moment by defending the people and responding to these grave and ongoing crimes.
