Hamas delegation leaves Cairo
A Hamas leadership delegation left Cairo on Saturday evening after holding ceasefire talks with Egyptian officials.
Hamas said in a statement that the movement's delegation, headed by Mohammed Darwish, head of the movement's leadership council, and the remaining members of the council, left Cairo after holding extensive talks and consultations with Egyptian officials on efforts to achieve a ceasefire and end the war in the Gaza Strip and all related issues.
The delegation reviewed the movement's vision for reaching a comprehensive deal that achieves a ceasefire, prisoner exchange, relief, and reconstruction. It was agreed to exert further efforts and continue communication to ensure the success of these efforts, according to the statement.
Hamas indicated that the meeting addressed the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip after two months of a strict blockade and the Israeli enemy's prevention of the entry of aid, food, and medical supplies into the Strip. It also emphasized the need for urgent action to deliver aid and the needs of the Strip to Palestinian citizens.
The movement's delegation arrived in Cairo at dawn on Saturday. It included the head of its leadership council, Mohammed Darwish, and council members Khaled Meshaal, Khalil al-Hayya, Zaher Jabarin, and Nizar Awadallah.
Hamas indicated that the delegation began meetings with Egyptian officials this afternoon to discuss Hamas's vision for a ceasefire and an end to the war and a prisoner exchange based on a comprehensive deal that includes a full Israeli withdrawal and reconstruction.
Earlier on Saturday, Hamas spokesman Jihad Taha confirmed that communication with mediators is ongoing and that they are making efforts to reach an agreement that will halt the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
In press statements, Taha expressed his hope that the mediators' efforts would succeed in the coming days and lead to the crystallization of an agreement that serves the interests of our people. He noted that the movement had presented a clear and balanced vision for halting the aggression, including withdrawal, a ceasefire, reconstruction, prisoners, and the formation of an independent administration for the Gaza Strip.

‘All our crew are Muslim,' fearful Red Sea ships tell Yemen's Houthis
Commercial ships sailing through the Red Sea are broadcasting increasingly desperate messages on public channels to avoid being attacked by the Houthi militia in Yemen. One message read 'All Crew Muslim,' some included references to an all-Chinese crew and management, others flagged the presence of armed guards on board, and almost all insisted the ships had no connection to Israel. Maritime security sources said the messages were a sign of growing desperation to avoid attack, but were unlikely to make any difference. Houthi intelligence preparation was 'much deeper and forward-leaning,' one source said. Houthi attacks off Yemen's coast began in November 2023 in what the group said was in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza war. A lull this year ended when they sank two ships last week and killed four crew. Vessels in the fleets of both ships had made calls to Israeli ports in the past year. 'Seafarers are the backbone of global trade, keeping countries supplied with food, fuel and medicine. They should not have to risk their lives to do their job,' the Seafarers' Charity.

Israel Strikes Cripple Yemen's Fragmented Power System
Yemen's Houthis have burst back onto the global stage with deadly maritime attacks in the Red Sea. To weaken the Houthis, Israel has again struck key links in their energy infrastructure, weakening the country's already ailing power sector. Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have returned with a vengeance over the past week. The group attacked and sunk both the Greek-owned bulk carriers Magic Seas (IMO: 9736169) and Eternity C (IMO: 9588249), killing at least three sailors and taking multiple hostages in their first attacks in the Red Sea since December. It comes on the back of a fragile truce agreed between their ally Iran, the US, and Israel following 12 days of warfare (MEES, 27 June) and despite ongoing negotiations in Doha for a possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
