Hamas shares update on Gaza ceasefire proposal
The official noted that the amendments include guarantees for a rapid transition to negotiations aimed at a complete end to the war.
He added that the revisions also include expanding the list of guarantors, as well as specific details related to the entry of humanitarian aid and maps outlining withdrawal arrangements.
Hamas' statement comes as 'Israel' said it was still weighing its response to the group's positive reaction to the US-sponsored ceasefire proposal. 'Israel's' security cabinet is expected to meet later Saturday after the end of the Jewish sabbath to discuss the matter, according to Hebrew media.

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 (

Initial Results Revealed from First Round of Hamas–Israel Talks - Jordan News
Initial Results Revealed from First Round of Hamas–Israel Talks The U.S. news site Axios reported early Monday that the first indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas, held in Doha on Sunday, did not yield any decisive outcomes. اضافة اعلان According to a source familiar with the talks, the discussions, which took place indirectly on Sunday night in Qatar, focused primarily on mechanisms for delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, but ended without clear progress. Axios stated that negotiators from Israel and Hamas, along with Qatari and Egyptian mediators, convened in Doha in an effort to resolve the remaining points of contention in the ceasefire and prisoner exchange negotiations. Earlier on Sunday, Israel's public broadcaster confirmed the start of indirect negotiations in Doha aimed at reaching an agreement to end the war and secure the return of hostages. Axios also cited informed sources saying that former President Donald Trump is seeking to reach common ground with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the terms for ending the war in Gaza, during Netanyahu's upcoming visit to Washington, which will include a direct meeting between the two leaders. According to the sources, Trump is looking to leverage the momentum created by the recent ceasefire between Israel and Iran to achieve a breakthrough on Gaza this week. After four months of stalled talks, the renewed momentum in recent days is raising hopes for a potential ceasefire agreement. The former U.S. president reportedly sees this as a step toward a broader peace agreement, although Netanyahu has not yet shown willingness to sign any deal to end the war. Before departing Israel, Netanyahu stated that his meeting with Trump may help reach an agreement. Trump also told reporters on Sunday that he believes a deal could be reached this week. Axios noted that if a temporary ceasefire is agreed upon, the focus of the negotiations during the proposed 60-day truce will shift to post-war arrangements in Gaza. The U.S. side is seeking to reach understandings with the Israeli government on: Who will govern Gaza after the removal of Hamas, And what security guarantees will be in place to prevent Hamas from regaining control of the Gaza Strip.

Israel cornered: Palestinian resistance demands full exit from Gaza
ALBAWABA - Resistance groups in Gaza have been cautiously optimistic about the chances of reaching a peace deal with Israel as informal talks led by Qatari and Egyptian agents gain momentum. Also Read Israel busts decade's largest Hamas network in West Bank The balance on the ground seems to be changing after almost 21 months of terrible war and failed Israeli efforts to free its prisoners or wipe out the resistance. Top leaders in the Palestinian groups say there is a growing belief that the present talks could lead to a breakthrough. These hopes came after the leaders of the resistance sent the negotiators a new plan that takes into account both political and field-based judgments. The new plan calls for Israel to pull all of its troops out of Gaza, for humanitarian aid to be allowed to enter freely, for the Rafah gate to be opened again for medical and humanitarian cases, and for strong promises from other countries to end the war and lift the blockade. The opposition thinks that current informal talks can help them get Israel to agree to some of these requests. Leaders think this could be a turning point in the war, thanks in part to how tough things are on the ground and also to changes in politics and more pressure from other countries. They say that the resistance's toughness and willingness to fight back has helped change Israel's mind. Reports from inside Israel show that the military is tired and that security officials are becoming more aware that keeping the war going is not likely to bring the prisoners back. The United States is also putting pressure on Israeli leaders to find a middle ground. Still, leaders of the resistance are still suspicious of Israel's plans and warn that any deal must be more than just a short halt. They stress that for there to be a real end to the fighting, all attacks must stop and the blockage must be lifted. If not, they say, any short-term peace will end quickly as military and police pressure keep building.
