Hamas Reaffirms Support for Diplomacy, Preparedness for Prolonged Resistance
Taarek Refaat The Palestinian movement Hamas declared on Friday its full support for the Palestinian delegation participating in indirect ceasefire negotiations with Israel, while simultaneously affirming its readiness for a long-term war of attrition if talks fail. In a statement issued by its military spokesperson Abu Ubaida, Hamas said it is 'closely monitoring' the ongoing negotiations and hopes the current round will lead to a comprehensive agreement that ends the war, secures the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and ensures the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. However, Abu Ubaida warned that if Israel continues to stall or rejects the terms — as Hamas alleges it has done in past rounds — then the movement will not return to partial deals, including the so-called '10 prisoner proposal', which has been a point of contention in previous talks. According to Hamas, more than four months into the resumption of the war, it has inflicted heavy losses on Israeli forces, claiming hundreds of soldiers have been killed or injured. The group also disclosed that it has made multiple attempts in recent weeks to capture Israeli soldiers in Gaza. 'If the occupation government insists on continuing this war of extermination, it should prepare for more funerals of its soldiers and officers,' Abu Ubaida stated. Hamas accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of rejecting a Hamas offer for a comprehensive prisoner exchange deal that would see all captives released in a single phase, suggesting that the Israeli government is uninterested in recovering its soldiers held by Hamas. The movement strongly denounced Israel's ongoing military campaign, condemning what it called the systematic targeting of civilians, the destruction of residential areas, and the continued siege on Gaza for the past 21 months. Hamas further accused the Israeli government of 'torturing innocent people,' publicly advocating for the displacement of the Palestinian population, and presenting what it described as 'Nazi-style detention camps' disguised as humanitarian shelters. The statement comes amid renewed negotiations to revive a ceasefire agreement brokered earlier this year by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, which came into effect on January 19, 2025. That agreement included a three-phase plan involving ceasefire enforcement, prisoner exchanges, and humanitarian relief. The first phase, lasting 42 days included a partial Israeli military withdrawal from densely populated areas, the exchange of prisoners and detainees, the return of internally displaced Palestinians to their homes, and increased humanitarian aid into Gaza, in addition to medical evacuations for the wounded and ill. However, since March 2, the agreement has stalled, with Israel closing border crossings, blocking fuel and shelter supplies, and resuming airstrikes on March 18. Israeli ground troops also re-entered areas from which they had previously withdrawn. While aid delivery resumed in May under a new Israeli-American mechanism, this was done without the approval of UNRWA, which has criticized the arrangement for violating established international aid protocols. The second phase of the truce, meant to stabilize the ceasefire and secure further prisoner releases, remains on hold, with negotiations continuing but no permanent ceasefire yet secured. Hamas's statement underscores the growing pressure on all parties to reach a sustainable solution as Gaza continues to suffer, hostilities escalate, and the humanitarian crisis deepens. As indirect talks continue, Hamas's dual message — of support for diplomacy and preparedness for prolonged resistance — reflects the fragile nature of the current negotiations and the high stakes for both sides. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Three Killed in Explosion at LA County Sheriff's Training Facility
Rana Atef On Friday, at least three deputies were killed and another one was injured in an explosion at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Biscailuz Training Center, according to law enforcement sources. The explosion took place around 7:30 am at the center on Eastern Avenue, which is home to the sheriff's special enforcement bureau, including the bomb squad. The injured individual was taken to a hospital after the explosion, authorities said. Preliminary information claimed that deputies were moving a recently recovered from a bomb call out when the blast occurred, according to two law enforcement sources. After the explosion, LAPD's bomb squad responded to the scene. The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also responded to assist with the investigation. Employees told The Times they heard a massive blast shortly before 7:30 am coming from the parking lot where the sheriff's bomb squad keeps its vehicles. They heard glass shattering and screaming. In the radio communications reviewed by The Times, a sheriff dispatcher tells units that there was an "explosion with three down." She later advises that a sheriff's weapons team leader said investigators should "not approach" the scene at the time. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Pakistan condemns terrorism in all forms, manifestations: FO
SeeNews Press Release Pakistan condemns terrorism in all forms and manifestations; zero tolerance, and international cooperation against terrorism are cornerstone of our policy. Pakistan has been, and is a frontline state against terrorism, and has contributed tremendously towards achievement of global peace through its CT efforts including apprehension of Terrorist Sharifullah, the mastermind of Abbey Gate Bombing. 🔊PR No.2️⃣1️⃣1️⃣/2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ 🔗⬇️ — Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Pakistan (@ForeignOfficePk) July 18, 2025 Investigations into Pahalgam incident, that happened in internationally recognized disputed region of IIOJ&K, are still inconclusive. Any linkage with LeT, a defunct organization banned in Pakistan belies ground realities. Pakistan has effectively and comprehensively dismantled concerned outfits, arrested and prosecuted the leadership, and deradicalized its cadres. While the issue under consideration pertains to US domestic laws, India has a track record of exploiting such designations to push anti-Pakistan propaganda with a view to divert international attention from its irresponsible and rogue behavior, including ongoing human rights atrocities, especially in IIOJ&K. As Pakistan continues to remain counter-terrorism bulwark through unparalleled sacrifices and efficacy, we urge international community to adopt objective and non-discriminatory policies to address this global menace through collective efforts which necessitate that terrorist organizations like Majeed Brigade must also be listed as alias of BLA. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
