New round of indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel begins in Doha
A new round of indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel has begun in the Qatari capital, Doha. These negotiations aim to reach a comprehensive ceasefire agreement and the release of prisoners and hostages. Hamas insists on clarifications on four key points, particularly complete withdrawal of Israel's forces from Gaza, which the Israeli Prime Minister has deemed unacceptable. Informed sources told Al-Masry Al-Youm that a high-level Egyptian security delegation is coordinating the indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel with the Qatari side. A Palestinian official familiar with the progress of the talks revealed in press statements that the movement's negotiating delegation, headed by Khalil al-Hayya, and the accompanying technical teams, expressed their willingness to conduct serious negotiations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Saturday evening that he had ordered to send an Israeli negotiating team to Qatar to conduct indirect talks, despite viewing Hamas's latest demands as 'unacceptable'. War continues Israel's military operations continue on in Gaza, committing new massacres against displaced civilians in the strip. This comes at a time when the Israeli political arena is witnessing severe tensions regarding the upcoming ceasefire negotiations. Medical sources within Gaza Strip hospitals reported that 38 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes since the early hours of the morning, with 29 killed in Gaza City alone. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz acknowledged a difficult day in Gaza after the army admitted that two soldiers were killed and two others were seriously injured after being targeted by an anti-tank missile in the Khan Yunis area. The families of the Israeli hostages renewed their appeal to the US president to exert all possible pressure to complete the negotiations and reach a comprehensive deal that would return all prisoners from Gaza at once. They urged him not to allow what they called 'the forces of evil' in Israel to continue the war and obstruct efforts to conclude a prisoner exchange deal. Edited translation from Al-Masry Al-Youm

Evacuate now, Israel warns Gaza as Eid begins
GAZA CITY: The Israeli military issued an evacuation order for residents of parts of Gaza City on Friday ahead of an attack, as it presses an intensified campaign in the battered Palestinian territory. "This is a final and urgent warning ahead of an impending strike," army spokesman Avichay Adraee said. The army "will strike all areas from which rockets are launched." The evacuation order comes at the beginning of the Eid al-Adha holiday, one of the main religious festivals of the Muslim calendar. The Israeli military has recently stepped up its campaign in Gaza in what it says is a renewed push to defeat Hamas, whose October 2023 attack sparked the war. International calls for a negotiated ceasefire have grown in recent weeks. Hamas's lead negotiator, Khalil al-Hayya said on Thursday that the Palestinian group was ready to enter a new round of talks aimed at sealing a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Talks aimed at brokering a new ceasefire have failed to yield a breakthrough since the last brief truce fell apart in March with the resumption of Israeli operations in Gaza. Israel and Hamas appeared close to an agreement late last month, but a deal proved elusive, with each side accusing the other of scuppering a US-backed proposal. Israel has faced mounting pressure to allow more aid into Gaza, after it imposed a more than two-month blockade that led to widespread shortages of food and other essentials. It recently eased the blockade and has worked with the newly formed, US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to implement a new aid distribution mechanism via a handful of centres in south and central Gaza. But since its inception, the GHF has been a magnet for criticism from the UN and other members of the aid world – which only intensified following a recent string of deadly incidents near its facilities. Hamas's unprecedented attack on Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. According to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza, at least 4,402 people have been killed since Israel resumed its offensive on March 18, taking the war's overall toll to 54,677, mostly civilians.--AFP
