Hamas Says It's Ready to ‘Immediately' Enter Ceasefire Talks
Hamas said it is ready to 'immediately' start negotiations with Israel on a proposal by US President Donald Trump for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza. A deal on the framework would see Hamas return half of the 50 hostages it still holds and pursue mediated talks with Israel to end the war. The proposal, accepted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will be one of the major topics during his visit to Washington where he will meet with Trump on Monday. 'The Hamas movement has completed its internal consultations and discussions with Palestinian factions and forces regarding the latest proposal put forward by the mediators,' the group said in a statement. 'The movement has submitted its response to the brothers mediators, characterized by a positive spirit.' An agreement would pause, if not end, a war between Iran-backed Hamas and Israel that's raged since October 2023, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians, devastating Gaza and destabilizing the wider Middle East. Trump said late Friday that 'there could be a Gaza deal next week,' and he was 'very optimistic but it changes day to day.' While Netanyahu's government weeks ago agreed to the US proposal, Washington and the other main mediators — Qatar and Egypt — couldn't get the sides to overcome key sticking points. Hamas had said any ceasefire must end the war and also refused Israel's demands to disarm and remove itself from power in Gaza. Israel has intensified military operations even as it agreed to talks. The army ordered tens of thousands of people to leave the outskirts of Gaza City since Tuesday and stepped up air strikes and incursions in the northern city, leading to an increase in the number of fatalities.

Shameless Bilawal Bhutto makes shocking statement about terrorist Masood Azhar says, 'Pakistan doesn't...'
Shameless Bilawal Bhutto makes shocking statement about terrorist Masood Azhar says, 'Pakistan doesn't...' In a bizarre Pakistani politician Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has again claimed that said Islamabad does not know where Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar is. One of India's most-wanted terrorists, Masood Azhar has been involved in the 2001 Parliament attack, 26/11 Mumbai attacks, 2016 Pathankot attack and the 2019 Pulwama attack, among others. A designated a global terrorist by the United Nations in 2019, Azhar was released in exchange for the passengers of IC-814 after the Kandahar hijacking in 1999. Azhar, in the recent Operation Sindoor had also lost 10 members of his family and four of his aides. India targeted key terror bases in the country during the operation, including the headquarters of the Lashkar-e-Taiba in Muridke and the Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur. Where is Masood Azhar? In an interview Bhutto said that his country would be 'happy to' arrest him if India gives information that he is on Pakistani soil and added Saeed is not a free man in Pakistan and Azhar may be in Afghanistan. 'As far as Masood Azhar is concerned, if he is in Afghanistan, the West has now handed over to a group that once upon a time they called terrorists, and now they call the people in charge of Afghanistan… It's not possible for Pakistan to go and do what all of NATO was unable to do within Afghanistan. There's no reason for Pakistan to want to see this individual or any individual of concern to be active.'
