Hamas official: We stand firm on demands to end Gaza assault
Al-Nounou said that Hamas agreed to release 10 of the captives held in Gaza, on the condition that humanitarian aid is allowed to flow fully and consistently into the territory, and that 'Israeli' aggression comes to a complete halt.
He noted that the current round of talks is facing significant challenges but emphasized that Hamas remains firm on its core demands for any final agreement.
Al-Nounou reiterated that these demands include the full withdrawal of 'Israeli' forces from all areas of the Gaza Strip and a comprehensive, lasting ceasefire.
He also stressed the need for international guarantees to ensure the implementation of any potential deal, adding, 'The United States holds the real leverage over Tel Aviv to end the war, if it has the political will to do so.'

Hamas insists on UN-led Gaza aid delivery in ceasefire talks: Hebrew media
Hamas is demanding that humanitarian aid to Gaza be delivered under United Nations supervision, without the involvement of the US-linked 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,' and that the buffer zone be smaller than what 'Israel' has proposed, according to 'Israeli' media reports. Channel 12 quoted an unnamed 'Israeli' source familiar with the Doha negotiations as saying that Tuesday night's meeting between Qatari and Egyptian mediators and Hamas representatives ended without results. The source claimed mediators rejected Hamas's response, deeming it unsatisfactory, and asked the group to provide an improved reply by Wednesday. Hamas and the mediators have not issued public comments. According to the same source, Hamas also requested: UN-managed humanitarian aid entry with no role for the U.S.-affiliated foundation A reduced buffer zone size The release of more Palestinian detainees per 'Israeli' captive Clearer guarantees for ending the war And the return of displaced Gazans via the Rafah crossing Indirect negotiations between Hamas and 'Israel' have been ongoing in Doha since July 6, mediated by Qatar and Egypt with US support. On Saturday, a Palestinian source stated that Hamas had received new maps from the mediators showing 'Israeli' control zones in Gaza, which it is currently reviewing. On Monday, Hamas announced it was continuing consultations with Palestinian factions to reach an 'honorable agreement' that would halt the aggression, support reconstruction, lift the siege, and ensure a dignified life for Gazans. These talks follow more than 21 months of intermittent negotiations, during which two partial agreements were reached: one in November 2023, and another in January 2025. Netanyahu, under international arrest warrants, resumed the war on March 18 after halting the implementation of the latest agreement. Hamas has consistently stated its readiness to release all 'Israeli' captives in exchange for a total ceasefire and the full withdrawal of 'Israeli' forces from Gaza. The 'Israeli' opposition accuses Netanyahu of deliberately avoiding a comprehensive deal to prolong the war for political gain and to placate far-right members of his coalition.

'Israeli' strike kills journalist in Gaza with husband, five children
Gaza Media Office in Gaza announced Wednesday that the number of journalists killed since the start of the war has risen to 231, following the deaths of two more Palestinian journalists: Walaa al-Jaabari and Tamer al-Za'anin. Walaa al-Jaabari, a journalist and editor who had worked with several media outlets, was killed along with her husband and five of their children when their home was struck in an overnight 'Israeli' airstrike. Earlier this week, photojournalist Tamer al-Za'anin was shot and killed on Monday by an 'Israeli' force during the abduction of Dr. Marwan al-Hems, director of field hospitals in Gaza. In response to the killings, the media office strongly condemned what it described as the systematic targeting and killing of journalists by 'Israeli' forces. It called on the International Federation of Journalists, the Arab Journalists Union, and media organizations worldwide to denounce the ongoing crimes against journalists in Gaza. The office also held the Israeli Occupation and the United States government fully responsible for what it called 'brutal crimes.' It urged the international community and press freedom organizations to take immediate action to stop what it described as genocide, and to protect journalists and media workers in Gaza from assassination and targeted killings.

Hamas submits response to ceasefire proposal
Two Palestinian sources familiar with the ongoing negotiations confirmed Wednesday that Hamas has submitted its official response to mediators regarding the proposed ceasefire in Gaza. The response includes key amendments, most notably a demand for guarantees of a permanent ceasefire with 'Israel'. One of the sources told AFP that Hamas and other resistance factions delivered their reply to the mediators, which includes 'amendments aimed at achieving a lasting ceasefire.' According to the source, Hamas's response primarily addresses the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, maps outlining the withdrawal of 'Israeli' forces, and guarantees for a complete end to the war. A second Palestinian official familiar with the talks described Hamas's response as 'positive,' affirming the contents shared by the first source. The group also reportedly requested changes to the proposed withdrawal maps, insisting that 'Israeli' forces retreat from residential areas and Salah al-Din Road - a vital north-south artery - while allowing troops to remain no deeper than 800 meters within Gaza's eastern and northern borders. Additionally, Hamas called for an increase in the number of Palestinian prisoners with life or long-term sentences to be released in exchange for each living 'Israeli' soldier. The official noted that negotiations will continue until a final agreement is reached. For the third consecutive week, indirect talks between Hamas and 'Israel' are ongoing in Doha, with Qatari, US, and Egyptian mediation. The current proposal under discussion includes a 60-day truce during which captives held in Gaza would be released in stages in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian detainees. Hamas has consistently insisted that any agreement must include guarantees for a permanent end to the war - a demand that Tel Aviv has so far rejected, maintaining that a full ceasefire is contingent on the dismantling of Hamas's military infrastructure.
