Mediators deliver 'Israeli' response to Hamas proposal
Media sources revealed Wednesday that mediators have delivered the Israeli Occupation's official response to Hamas' latest proposal, which included several major points of objection. According to the sources, the main objections raised by the occupation and relayed to Hamas include: Opposition to certain provisions related to the redeployment and withdrawal of 'Israeli' forces from areas within the Gaza Strip. Rejection of the proposed exchange of the remains of 'Israeli' soldiers held by the resistance in return for the release of live Palestinian political prisoners from 'Israeli' jails. Firm refusal to fully withdraw from the Salah al-Din (Philadelphi) border corridor and insistence on maintaining 'Israeli' security control over it. These developments come amid ongoing negotiations mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States aimed at reaching a ceasefire agreement in Gaza and securing a prisoner exchange, according to Alaraby TV.

Secret Netanyahu family funeral in fortified bunker sparks firestorm of controversy
Published June 27th, 2025 - 04:13 GMT ALBAWABA - Recently, rumors went around on social media that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a hidden funeral for a family member who died in an Iranian rocket strike. Also Read Trump urges end to Netanyahu corruption trial The posts say that the funeral happened in a protected underground cave and that it was held in secret because Israeli intelligence services told the organizers to keep the news from getting out. It was said that Netanyahu's sister, who was called "Yontan," died from injuries she got when someone attacked the family home. According to the posts, the Prime Minister also broke down in tears during the service and allegedly said, "Forgive me, Yontan." I wasn't able to keep you safe. We are all part of this war. The Polygraph fact-checking team at Alaraby TV, on the other hand, found that the picture used to support the claims was taken in July 2019. In it, Netanyahu visits the grave of his late brother Yonatan Netanyahu, who was a military hero and died in the Entebbe raid in Uganda in 1976. ❌ التضليل: جنازة إسرائيلية سرية بحضور نتنياهو.✅ الحقيقة: الصورة نُشرت في 5 يوليو ٬2022 وهي من زيارة رئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي بنيامين نتنياهو لقبر شقيقه الأكبر "يوناتان". ◼️ قتل يوناتان أثناء محاولة تحرير رهائن إسرائيليين احتجزهم مسلحان تابعان للجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين… — منصة صدق اليمنية (@SidqYem) June 24, 2025 The people who checked the facts said that the picture was taken at a yearly memorial service, not at a secret funeral in 2025. They came to the conclusion that the posts that went popular were based on false information, but they did admit that one part of it was true: Israel currently has tight media control, especially when it comes to secret wartime developments. During the most recent 12-day war with Iran, Israel has not released exact numbers on the number of deaths or damage to infrastructure. Also, all information made public is highly controlled by military secrecy laws. Because of this, whispers and guesswork have filled in the gaps in accurate news, leading to false stories like the secret funeral claim. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Tehran: No evidence of nuclear deviation
Shafaq News/ On Saturday, Iran asserted that its nuclear program remains peaceful, while its military intensified drone strikes on Israeli targets. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei told Alaraby TV that Tehran's nuclear activities are legal, affirming, 'There is no evidence we've deviated from peaceful aims.' Baqaei accused Israel of obstructing diplomacy, insisting that Iran remains committed to dialogue. 'We never left the table.' Defending Tehran's recent military operations, Baqaei framed them as responses to Israeli aggression, warning that any US intervention would trigger a reaction 'in line with international law.' He also urged neighboring governments not to ignore what he described as Israel's destabilizing role in the region. Separately, Iran's military confirmed it had launched dozens of 'suicide drones ' in what it labeled the seventh and eighth phases of its aerial campaign, adding, 'Most drones reached their targets.' Tensions have escalated sharply since June 13, when Iran and Israel began openly trading daily missile and drone strikes. Despite mounting international pressure for de-escalation, both sides continue to exchange fire across multiple fronts.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya "beaten in monstrous ways" during Eid, lawyer reveals
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a pediatrician and director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, detained by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF), is enduring extreme mistreatment and deteriorating conditions behind bars, according to his lawyer, who described the situation as increasingly dire. Dr. Abu Safiya was arrested by the IOF and has since been held in what his lawyer, Gheed Kassem, calls "inhumane conditions." In an interview with Alaraby TV, Kassem said she has met with the doctor three times, and each visit has been more harrowing than the last. "To be honest, what I have heard from him was incredibly shocking, to the point where I don't even know if it's right to reveal to the media," she said. Kassem described widespread abuse of detainees, particularly during the Eid Al-Fitr holiday earlier this month, saying prisoners from Gaza were "beaten and assaulted in a monstrous way." "I have not met one prisoner in the last week, unfortunately, who was not beaten or assaulted," she added. "The situation is escalating, the starvation is increasing, the torture is increasing, the isolation from the outside world is increasing, the threats are increasing, and no one has been able to put a boundary for these escalations." Dr. Abu Safiya, despite being a civilian and medical professional, has been labeled an 'unlawful combatant' by "Israeli" authorities. This classification allows for prolonged detention without formal charges or a trial. He is expected to remain in administrative detention at least until September or October. His lawyer emphasized that many others, including entire medical teams and patients taken from Gaza hospitals, are facing similar abuse in detention. "As rights advocates and lawyers, we are ashamed to even talk about the levels of torture happening," Kassem said. She described acts such as stomping on prisoners' faces, humiliating treatment, and forcing detainees to drink sewage water as examples of the conditions being endured. "Prisoners are being forced to participate in acts that would be morally denounced worldwide,' she said. 'Their honour is stepped on every day, every minute. Their mistreatment is incredibly horrible." In a recent incident, Dr. Abu Safiya was reportedly struck in the head with a metal pillar while in custody, raising further concerns about his safety and health. Kassem pointed out that even a healthy individual would likely suffer lasting damage from the conditions in "Israeli" detention facilities. "He is not the only innocent detainee suffering. Medical workers, patients, civilians—none are spared."

Hussam Abu Safiya's 'inhumane conditions' in Israeli detention worsening
Hussam Abu Safiya and other Palestinian prisoners in Israeli-run detention centres are facing increasingly "inhumane conditions" and torture, according to his lawyer. Gheed Kassem said in an interview with Alaraby TV that she has visited the paediatrician, who is the director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan hospital, three times, with "each visit being more difficult than the one before". "To be honest, what I have heard from him was incredibly shocking, to the point where I don't even know if its right to reveal to the media," she said. According to Kassem, detainees from Gaza were "beaten and assaulted in a monstrous way" during the celebration of Eid al-Fitr earlier this month. "I have not met one prisoner in the last week, unfortunately, who was not beaten or assaulted," she said.

Abu Safiya's lawyer said even an able-bodied healthy individual would come out suffering with health conditions following Israeli detainment. Kassem stressed that Abu Safiya is not the only innocent prisoner facing such cruel conditions, but in fact, entire medical crews and even patients who were detained from inside Gaza hospitals are suffering the same. "As rights advocates and lawyers, we are ashamed to even talk about the levels of torture happening," she said, citing stomping on faces, humiliation and forced consumption of sewage water as some of the lighter treatment Palestinians face. Kassem noted that prisoners are forced to take part in acts that would be "morally denounced worldwide". "Their honour is stepped on every day, every minute. Their mistreatment is incredibly horrible." Dr Abu Safiya symbolised humanity in Gaza. Israel and the West are destroying it Read More » In the case of Abu Safiya, she says his head was hit on a metal pillar just days ago. Abu Safiya has been categorised as an "unlawful combatant" under Israel - despite him being a civilian doctor, which means there is no formal indictment against him. He is set to remain in administrative detention until at least September or October. Addameer, a Palestinian prisoners' rights group, says nearly 10,000 Palestinians are currently imprisoned, including around 400 children and 27 women. It estimates that roughly 40 percent of all Palestinian men have been detained at some point by Israel in their lifetime. The group also reports that almost 3,500 people are being held under administrative detention - imprisoned without formal charges or access to legal proceedings. In late October, Abu Safiya's son was killed by an Israeli raid on the Kamal Adwan hospital. "Despite the monstrous happenings inside the prisons, medical personnele, including Doctor Hussam Abu Safiya, until now their main concern is the state of hospitals in the Gaza Strip," Kassem said. "Until this second, the thing that he asks about is the conditions hospitals are facing amid the current and apparent genocide in Gaza."
