The Turkish activist and journalist Arsin Cilek, who was part of the "Global Resilience Fleet," confirmed that the Israelis severely tortured the Swedish activist Greta Thunberg "in front of the eyes of the other activists."

This was stated by Cilek in an interview with "CNN Türk" after his arrival at Istanbul Airport on Saturday, coming from Ramon Airport in Israel along with 136 members of the Resilience Fleet.

Cilek said that the Israelis "severely tortured Greta (Thunberg, the Swedish activist) in front of us. They treated her unjustly; Greta is a small child. They forced her to crawl and kiss the Israeli flag; they did the same thing that the Nazis did."

On Saturday, a Turkish Airlines plane arrived in Istanbul from Ramon Airport in the Israeli city of Eilat, carrying 137 activists, including 36 Turks and 23 Malaysians, who were part of the "Global Resilience Fleet" that was attacked and detained by Israel in international waters.

As of Wednesday evening, Israeli authorities seized 42 ships belonging to the Global Resilience Fleet while they were sailing in international waters towards Gaza, and arrested hundreds of international activists on board.

The fleet issued a distress call after the Israeli army attacked its ships in international waters, considering this escalation a "war crime."

This is the first time that dozens of ships have sailed together towards Gaza, which is home to about 2.4 million Palestinians, in a collective attempt to break the ongoing Israeli blockade of the territory for 18 years.

Since October 7, 2023, the occupying army, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 67,074 martyrs and 169,430 injured, most of whom are children and women, and famine that has claimed the lives of 459 Palestinians, including 154 children.

The Secretary-General of the Lebanese "Hezbollah," Naeem Qassem, criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's plan regarding Gaza on Saturday, considering it serves the project of "Greater Israel."

Qassem's remarks came in a televised speech broadcast by the "Al-Manar" channel affiliated with "Hezbollah" on the first anniversary of the assassination of the Israeli leaders Nabil Qawuq and Suhail Al-Husseini.

He pointed out that "Trump's plan was initially presented to some Arab countries, and after meetings (between Trump) and Netanyahu, amendments were made to fully suit Israel."

He added: "Changes were made to several points to serve the project of 'Greater Israel,' which it seeks to achieve through politics after failing to do so through aggression and massacres."

He continued: "According to Trump's plan, when the administration is in the hands of an international party, and the responsibility is taken away from the people of the land to manage their affairs, what have we achieved after all these battles?"

He further stated: "We will wait for the final word from the Palestinians, because what has been proposed is a plan and not an agreement, and nothing can happen except based on an agreement."

Hours earlier, Egyptian sources announced that Cairo would host, tomorrow Sunday, an indirect negotiation round between the Israeli and Palestinian delegations regarding the exchange of prisoners.

This came according to what the private "Cairo News" channel reported from unnamed sources, following Hamas's announcement to proceed with Trump's plan.

Since dawn on Saturday, the Israeli army has killed 49 Palestinians, including a girl, and injured others in continuous attacks on Gaza.

This comes at a time when the Israeli army radio and the official Hebrew broadcasting authority spoke about the political leadership's directive to "stop the operation to occupy the city of Gaza."

This coincided with a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, which said that Tel Aviv "is preparing, in light of Hamas's response, to implement the first phase of Trump's plan for the immediate release of all hostages."

On Friday evening, Hamas stated in a statement that it had submitted its response to Trump's plan regarding Gaza to the mediators, announcing its agreement to release all living and deceased Israeli prisoners.

It also renewed its agreement to hand over the administration of the sector to a Palestinian body of independents (technocrats) based on Palestinian national consensus.

However, it emphasized that the future of the sector and the rights of the people should be discussed within a Palestinian framework.

Tel Aviv estimates that there are 48 Israeli prisoners in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while about 11,100 Palestinians are imprisoned in its jails, suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect.

On September 29, Trump announced a plan consisting of 20 points, including: the release of Israeli prisoners in Gaza, a ceasefire, and the disarmament of Hamas.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with U.S. support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 67,074 deaths and 169,430 injuries.

The Egyptian capital, Cairo, will host on Sunday and Monday an indirect round of talks between Hamas and a delegation from the occupying entity, aimed at discussing the field mechanisms for implementing the exchange of detainees and prisoners, in the first practical step to apply the proposal presented by U.S. President Donald Trump.

These crucial talks come after Hamas submitted its response on Friday, described as "conditionally positive," to the American plan, in which it agreed to the clause for the release of all detainees.

This response was followed by a direct call from President Trump to the occupying entity to immediately cease bombing Gaza to facilitate the exchange process, creating diplomatic momentum that pushed the parties toward implementation negotiations.

The "Cairo News" channel, close to Egyptian intelligence, reported from a high-level security source confirming the movement of the Hamas and occupying entity delegations towards Cairo.

The source clarified that the discussions will focus on "arranging the field conditions for the exchange process of all detainees and prisoners," based on what was stated in President Trump's proposal.

55 Palestinians have been martyred - since dawn today, Saturday - including a child, amid ongoing attacks launched by the Israeli occupation army on the Gaza Strip, ignoring U.S. President Donald Trump's call yesterday evening, Friday, to immediately stop the bombing of the area.

The occupation army confirmed the continuation of its operations in the city of Gaza, warning residents against returning there. Hospital sources in Gaza reported that 55 have been martyred by the fire of the occupation army since dawn today, including 39 in the city of Gaza.

The attacks on Gaza did not cease despite Trump's call, as the Israeli army targeted homes and civilian gatherings across the region. Special images showed the continuation of Israeli bombardment in several areas of the city of Gaza.

A correspondent reported that the Israeli airstrikes on the city focused on the neighborhoods of Sabra, Tuffah, and Tal al-Hawa, as well as Al-Jalaa Street. In the latest attacks, 9 Palestinians were martyred, including children, in a bombing that targeted a house in the Tuffah neighborhood.

In the Al-Daraj neighborhood east of Gaza City, at least 6 Palestinians were martyred, and others were injured or went missing under the rubble due to an Israeli bombing that targeted a populated house.

In the city center, a Palestinian was martyred by an Israeli bombing that targeted a house on Al-Yarmouk Street. Meanwhile, another Palestinian was martyred and others were injured in northwestern Gaza City in a bombing that targeted a civilian gathering near the Sharq laboratory in the Al-Lababidi area.

Near the Al-Lababidi area, a Palestinian was injured due to an Israeli drone dropping a bomb on him, while 14 Palestinians were martyred in Israeli attacks on various areas of Gaza City, details of which have not been provided.

In Gaza City as well, the Israeli army carried out extensive demolition and explosion operations using drones and explosives in the Sabra and Tal al-Hawa neighborhoods to the south, and in the Al-Rimal and Al-Nasr neighborhoods and the Beach Camp to the west.

The occupation army also intensified its air and artillery bombardment on various areas of Gaza City, especially around the Al-Ghafri intersection (central) and Al-Tunnel Street (northeast), with artillery heavily shelling the eastern parts of the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood.

Israeli warning, the spokesperson for the occupation army warned Gaza residents against returning north or approaching areas where the army is deployed 'anywhere in the sector, even in the south.'

He added that the area north of Wadi Gaza is considered a dangerous combat zone, and he indicated that his forces are stationed at the lines they have controlled without advancing or retreating, confirming that Israeli forces 'are still surrounding Gaza City.'

The Israeli army radio reported that the recent airstrikes on Gaza aimed to eliminate threats to Israeli forces, according to their claims.

Special images showed the continuation of Israeli bombardment in several areas of Gaza City. The images documented an Israeli airstrike on Al-Jalaa Street and significant destruction in the Al-Jalaa and Al-Nasr areas in the northern part of the city.

Medical sources reported a limited withdrawal of Israeli army vehicles from their positions on Al-Jalaa Street and the Al-Nasr neighborhood (central and western Gaza City) by only a few meters, but they confirmed that the army still controls those areas with the fire of its drones flying at low altitudes over the city.

A source from the ambulance and emergency services in Gaza City reported injuries to several people due to an airstrike by an Israeli drone in the Al-Nasr neighborhood (western Gaza City).

Special footage showed the extent of the significant destruction on Al-Nasr Street after the withdrawal of the occupation vehicles. It also showed the collapse of buildings and extensive destruction of infrastructure, with the streets appearing empty except for the debris and devastation left by the bombardment.

In the central and southern parts of the sector, Israeli attacks resulted in the martyrdom of two Palestinians, according to medical sources, with a child martyred in the Al-Nuseirat camp and others injured in a bombing that targeted a residential apartment on 20th Street.

In the central governorate, a second Palestinian was martyred in scattered Israeli attacks, while 5 Palestinians were martyred in other attacks in the southern sector.

The occupation army continued its intensive artillery bombardment on various areas of Khan Younis (southern sector), with its vehicles randomly firing towards areas in the north and center of the city.

The Israeli artillery also renewed its bombardment of the northern

Two citizens were martyred and others were injured this evening, Saturday, in an Israeli occupation bombardment on the city of Gaza.

Our correspondent reported that the bombardment targeted a group of citizens near Bilal Mosque in the Zeitoun neighborhood, south of the city.

He added that the occupation aircraft also launched four airstrikes targeting citizens' homes in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City.

On October 7, 2023, the occupation forces began an aggression against the Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of 67,074 citizens, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 169,430 others, in a preliminary toll, as there are still a number of victims under the rubble and in the streets, and rescue teams are unable to reach them.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas welcomed President Trump's announcement to stop the war and proceed with the details, in response to the positive statements from Hamas, which we welcome for the release of all hostages and for dealing positively in this phase that requires everyone to exhibit the highest levels of national responsibility.

His Excellency reiterated his appreciation for the significant efforts made by President Trump to end the war in the Gaza Strip and move towards lasting peace, and thanks are extended to the Arab and Islamic countries that are making efforts in this regard (the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan).

His Excellency confirmed the readiness of the State of Palestine to engage in constructive work with President Trump from this moment onward, along with all concerned partners, the co-presidency of the international peace conference in New York, the heads of working groups, and the Arab member of the Security Council, Algeria, as well as all Security Council members and members of the General Assembly, to achieve stability and lasting and just peace in accordance with international legitimacy.

The President emphasized, "What matters to us now is the immediate commitment to a complete ceasefire, the release of all hostages and prisoners, the entry of urgent humanitarian aid through United Nations organizations, ensuring no displacement or annexation, and starting the reconstruction process."

In this context, the President stated, "The sovereignty over the Gaza Strip belongs to the State of Palestine, and the connection between the West Bank and Gaza Strip must be made through Palestinian laws and governmental institutions, and by a Palestinian administrative committee and unified Palestinian security forces, within a framework of one system and law, with Arab and international support."

He added, "We will continue to work with mediators and concerned partners to succeed in these efforts, leading to achieving lasting peace that ends the Israeli occupation of the land of the State of Palestine and its capital, East Jerusalem."

His Excellency reminded the international community of its responsibility to compel Israel to stop all its unilateral actions that violate international law, foremost among them halting settlement activities, settler terrorism, assaults on holy sites, and withholding Palestinian tax revenues.

His Excellency affirmed that the independent, sovereign Palestinian state is the natural partner for stability in the region alongside the State of Israel, and it is time for a lasting peace that guarantees security and justice for all the peoples of the region.

Bloomberg Agency observed that the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) accepted part of the proposed plan by U.S. President Donald Trump to settle the ongoing war in Gaza for two years, but refrained from making a decision on other aspects of the proposed settlement.

The American agency - in a report by Lisa Baier - stated that the movement announced it would release the Israeli detainees, but left other aspects of the proposed settlement, consisting of 20 points, which were accepted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The plan immediately calls for ending Israeli military operations, sending "full aid immediately" to Gaza, which is suffering from famine due to the blockade, and releasing about 1,700 residents of Gaza held by Israel.

In addition, the plan also promises to rebuild and develop Gaza for the benefit of its people, with guarantees that Israel will not occupy or annex the territory, and that Israeli forces will gradually withdraw.

There is also a promise not to force any of Gaza's residents to leave the territory, after Trump raised concerns earlier this year by suggesting that the U.S. government take over Gaza after displacing its residents and turning it into a tourist resort.

The plan is relied upon to end the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip for two years.

Bloomberg reported that Trump's plan, in its most ambitious form, envisions Hamas doing what it said it would not do, which is surrender, meaning agreeing to disarm and relinquish all authority in the Gaza Strip, which it has ruled since 2007.

This step - according to the plan - would lead to the end of Israeli operations in Gaza, gradually replacing them with international peacekeeping forces, a significant influx of aid, and the reconstruction of the devastated territory.

The complete plan calls for the return of the remaining detainees, believed to number 48, including 20 who are alive, and calls for the disarmament of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors to ensure it cannot pose a threat to Israel in the future.

According to the plan, Hamas will agree not to interfere in the administration of Gaza in any way, and its members will be granted "general amnesty" if they commit to peaceful coexistence and surrender their weapons, with a safe passage provided to another country for those who wish to leave the territory.

The plan calls for the United States to work with Arab countries and other partners to establish what is called international stability forces, scheduled to be deployed immediately in Gaza, with the idea that the Israeli army will gradually hand over the territories it controls in Gaza to these stability forces, according to a timeline that has not yet been specified.

The plan calls for Israeli forces to maintain a presence along the perimeter of Gaza until the area is "completely safe from any renewed terrorist threat," according to its claims, while the international stability forces are tasked with training and supporting a new local police force in Gaza, which is supposed to handle the internal security of the territory in the long term.

The plan calls for the establishment of a temporary committee to manage public services and municipalities in Gaza, composed of Palestinian and international technocrats, overseen by an international council, which includes former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and is chaired by Trump.

The plan acknowledges that statehood is the aspiration of the Palestinian people and indicates the possibility of creating conditions, over time, for a "reliable path" to achieve it.

The "positive" response provided by Hamas to U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war was met with widespread international approval on Saturday morning, as major countries described the step as a "critical opportunity" and "an important step forward," calling for serious and immediate action towards implementing the agreement and a ceasefire.

French President Emmanuel Macron: He considered that there is now "an opportunity for decisive progress towards peace," and that the release of detainees and a ceasefire "is within reach."

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer: He described Hamas's acceptance of the plan as "an important step forward," reaffirming his strong support for President Trump's efforts and urging all parties to implement the plan "without delay."

The German Chancellor: He described the initiative as "the best opportunity for achieving peace in Gaza."

The Irish Prime Minister: He expressed hope that the announcement would pave the way for an immediate ceasefire and an increase in the flow of aid.

For his part, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan described Hamas's response as "a constructive and important step towards achieving lasting peace," emphasizing that "the occupation must stop all attacks immediately and commit to the ceasefire plan."

His Foreign Ministry confirmed that Hamas's response opens the possibility for achieving lasting peace.

The Australian Prime Minister welcomed the progress made, reaffirming his country's ongoing support for a two-state solution.

In contrast, the Malaysian Prime Minister took a more cautious stance, considering the peace plan "not ideal," but emphasizing that the priority now is to "save the lives of the Palestinian people and stop the Zionist oppression."

The Israeli occupation army issued a warning to the residents of the Gaza Strip on Saturday morning, confirming that the area north of the Gaza Valley is still considered a "dangerous combat zone."

This warning comes at a time when the occupation army announced a halt to its offensive operations and a transition to a defensive posture, which may encourage some displaced individuals to attempt to return to their homes.

This announcement represents a direct and clear message from the occupation army to all residents of the strip, especially the displaced in the south, not to attempt to return to their residential areas in the north of the strip.

A survey in Germany showed that the majority of participants want to recognize the State of Palestine and support the European Union's proposal to suspend trade and customs agreements with Israel.

In a survey conducted by the Federal Republic of Germany's public broadcasting authority, 55 percent of participants expressed their support for recognizing the State of Palestine, while 20 percent opposed it.

Regarding the sanctions that the European Union plans to impose on Israel, 55 percent of participants expressed their desire for Germany to support the European Union's proposal to suspend trade and customs agreements with Israel, while 27 percent opposed it.

The survey revealed that 63 percent of Germans believe that Israel's attacks on Gaza have "crossed the line."

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 66,288 deaths and 169,165 injuries, most of whom are children and women, and a famine that has claimed the lives of 457 Palestinians, including 152 children.

Hebrew media revealed today, Saturday, details of the preparations for the crucial round of negotiations to end the war in Gaza, indicating that the talks are likely to be held in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, and that U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is on his way to the region.

Channel 12 reported that the current goal of the negotiations is to finalize the precise details of the first phase of the agreement.

The broadcasting authority affiliated with the occupation reported that Cairo is the likely venue for the new round of negotiations with Hamas.

It quoted informed sources expecting the arrival of U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff to the region soon to push for the completion of the agreement.

Channel 12 clarified that the specific aim of this round is to manage negotiations on three main items: the mechanism for the release of detainees, the names of Palestinian prisoners to be released, and the final withdrawal lines of the occupation forces.

Specialized security teams have already begun preparing detailed maps for the army's withdrawal from Gaza and are compiling a list of Palestinian prisoners' names.

Hebrew media reported today, Saturday, that specialized security teams have already begun preparing detailed maps for the army's withdrawal from Gaza, while other parties are working on compiling a list of Palestinian prisoners who will be released as part of the deal.

The Islamic Jihad movement announced in a statement today that it participated in the consultations that led to Hamas's decision, confirming that Hamas's response to Trump's plan reflects the position of the factions.

The Israeli army has killed 5 Palestinians, including a girl, since dawn on Saturday and injured others in ongoing attacks on the Gaza Strip, ignoring U.S. President Donald Trump's call on Friday evening to immediately halt the bombardment of the area.

In response to Hamas's announcement of its agreement to release prisoners according to his proposal, Trump stated that he believes Hamas is now "ready for lasting peace," urging Israel to stop the bombing of Gaza "immediately" in order to facilitate the release of Israeli prisoners.

According to medical sources and eyewitnesses, the attacks on Gaza did not cease despite Trump's call, as the Israeli army targeted two homes in Gaza City and the Al-Nuseirat camp (central), resulting in the deaths of at least 5 Palestinians and injuries to others.

The Israeli army also continued its intense aerial and artillery bombardment of Gaza City and Khan Younis (south), and intensified operations to demolish and blow up residential buildings using drones and explosives in various areas of Gaza City during the night hours.

The statement from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "Israel is preparing for the immediate implementation of the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to release the hostages in light of Hamas's response."

The statement added that "Israel will continue to work in full cooperation with Trump and his team to end the war in Gaza according to the principles set by Israel."

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that "the political level has instructed the army to reduce its activities in Gaza, limiting them to defensive purposes only."

At the same time, the American Axios website quoted an Israeli official saying that "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was surprised by President Donald Trump's response to Hamas's statement accepting the American plan."

The Israeli official added that Netanyahu considered during consultations before Trump's announcement that Hamas's response was a rejection of the plan.

For his part, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said that Trump is right about the unprecedented opportunity to release the hostages and end the war.

He added that "Israel should announce its joining of the discussions led by Trump to finalize the details of the deal."

He noted that he informed the U.S. administration that Netanyahu has political support to proceed with the deal.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Hamas has shown its willingness for a lasting peace in its response to the proposal to stop the war in Gaza.

Trump added that Israel must stop the bombing of Gaza immediately, in order to release the hostages quickly and safely.

Trump explained that the current conditions make this extremely dangerous, emphasizing that discussions are indeed ongoing regarding the details, pointing out that the issue is not just about Gaza, but about a long-awaited peace in the Middle East.

Earlier, Hamas officially announced on Friday that it had delivered its response to the U.S. President Donald Trump's plan regarding the cessation of hostilities in the Gaza Strip.

The movement stated in a statement that it agreed to President Trump's plan for a ceasefire in Gaza, and in this context, "it announces its agreement to release all prisoners of the occupation alive and deceased according to the exchange formula included in President Trump's proposal, while providing the necessary field conditions for the exchange process."

The movement confirmed its "readiness to immediately enter into negotiations through intermediaries to discuss the details of this, and it renewed its agreement to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independents (technocrats) based on Palestinian national consensus and supported by Arab and Islamic backing."

It emphasized that "the other issues mentioned in President Trump's proposal concerning the future of the Gaza Strip and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people are linked to a comprehensive national position and based on relevant international laws and resolutions, and will be discussed through a comprehensive Palestinian national framework in which Hamas will be included and will contribute responsibly."

A number of Gaza residents expressed their happiness following the announcement by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) regarding its response to the American plan to stop the war on the Gaza Strip.

This morning, dozens of citizens gathered in Khan Younis in the southern part of the Strip to celebrate Hamas's statement, which included its response to President Donald Trump's plan by agreeing to exchange all living and deceased prisoners in its custody, as well as agreeing to form a technocratic government, with the importance of negotiating the details related to that.

A reporter noted that the decrease in the intensity of Israeli bombardment encouraged people to head to the market in the Nuseirat camp in the middle of the Gaza Strip.

In Gaza City, residents expressed hope that recent developments would lead to an end to the war.

The French Press Agency quoted Moamen Jaser in the port area of western Gaza City as saying, "When I received the news of Hamas's response, I went out with the people in joy, cheers, and takbir."

We hope that the war, bombardment, and destruction will end, and the bloodshed will stop. We are tired and deserve joy and life."

Following Hamas's response to the American plan, the intensity of Israeli bombardment decreased after a day that witnessed new massacres resulting in 63 martyrs.

Last night, Hamas issued a statement announcing its agreement to release all prisoners of the occupation, both living and deceased, according to the exchange formula mentioned in President Donald Trump's proposal, in order to stop the war and fully withdraw from the Strip, while providing the field conditions for the exchange process.

The movement confirmed its readiness to immediately enter into negotiations through intermediaries to discuss the details of that.

Six citizens, including two children, were martyred today, Saturday, in an airstrike by the occupation on a house in Gaza City and a tent housing displaced persons in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis.

Medical sources at Nasser Medical Complex reported the arrival of two martyred children and eight injured as a result of an airstrike by an occupation drone on a tent housing displaced persons in the Mawasi area northwest of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

Local sources stated that a drone struck a house in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood northeast of Gaza City, resulting in the martyrdom of four citizens and injuries to others.

Hebrew media reported early this Saturday morning that the political level in the occupying entity instructed the leadership of the Israeli occupation army to minimize military operations aimed at occupying the city of Gaza, in light of recent political developments related to the American peace plan.

This directive comes after the response provided by Hamas to the proposal of U.S. President Donald Trump, which received American, Egyptian, and Turkish approval, and Trump's own call for the occupation to "immediately stop the bombing of Gaza."

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) announced in an official statement issued on Friday evening its agreement to specific terms in U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal, which include the release of all detainees held by the occupation and handing over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian "technocrat" body, while deferring the discussion of other issues related to the future of the strip to a "comprehensive Palestinian national framework."

U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his gratitude to the countries that assisted with the Gaza issue, praising the roles of Jordan, Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and other nations, affirming that the support he received was tremendous.

Trump described today as "extremely special and perhaps unprecedented in many ways," noting that it is a great day to follow the developments in Gaza.

He added that he is eagerly looking forward to the return of the hostages to their families, emphasizing that everyone was united in the desire to end the war and achieve peace in the Middle East, and that progress toward that goal has become very close.

The leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Musa Abu Marzouk, stated that the movement agreed to the plan presented by U.S. President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza in its main principles, but its implementation requires negotiation.

He explained that the movement dealt positively with the plan from the perspective that the priority should be to stop the war and the Israeli massacres.

Hamas mentioned in a statement on Friday that it conducted "extensive consultations to reach a responsible position" in dealing with Trump's plan, in order to stop the Israeli aggression.

It added, "We announce our agreement to release all prisoners, both alive and deceased, according to Trump's proposal in a way that achieves a ceasefire and withdrawal while providing the field conditions for exchange," expressing its "immediate" readiness to enter negotiations through mediators to discuss all details.

Abu Marzouk added that Hamas is concerned with the first nine points, which relate to stopping the war, ending the occupation, providing assistance to the Palestinian people, and handing over governance from the first day after the war stops.

He pointed out that the issue of handing over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a committee of independents was nationally agreed upon in Cairo.

He clarified that the points the movement will negotiate about are "ending the war and aggression, the Israeli withdrawal, providing assistance, and the future administration of the Gaza Strip."

He stated that some points are unrealistic, such as handing over prisoners and bodies within 72 hours, as this requires many details and extensive dialogues.

Regarding the points related to Hamas's future, disarming it, and the future of its leaders, Abu Marzouk said, "Israel itself announced that it destroyed 90% of Hamas's capabilities, so what weapon do they want to disarm in the first place?"

He noted that "the movement has shown its readiness to hand over its weapons on the day a sovereign Palestinian state is established."

He explained that "the weapon was for confronting the occupation, so if the occupation is removed and the Palestinians are able to govern themselves, then whoever governs the Gaza Strip will have the weapon in hand, and there is no need for this weapon."

He affirmed that the right of the Palestinian people to resist is guaranteed by international laws and all international charters.

He also pointed out that the issue of sending international forces to the Gaza Strip needs negotiation, "Which countries will participate in these forces? Who will decide on these forces? Isn't it the Security Council, for example? What budgets will be allocated and who is responsible for them? What are the powers of the peacekeeping forces? What is the geographical limit within which they will operate?"

Abu Marzouk also questioned the presence of peacekeeping forces, asking whether they would be on the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip or between Egypt, the Gaza Strip, and Israel.

Regarding the clause stating that the Gaza Strip should be free of terrorism, the Hamas leader said that they do not agree with this clause, as Hamas is not a terrorist movement as classified by Washington and Tel Aviv.

Concerning the future of the Palestinian cause, Abu Marzouk stated that "this matter does not concern Hamas alone, as there are partners in shaping the future of the Palestinian people, and Hamas cannot say yes or no in this matter."

He emphasized that the Palestinian people reject guardianship.

He said that "the United States must also look positively at the future of the Palestinian people."

And that "President Trump, who seeks to win the Nobel Peace Prize, cannot be a partner with a man wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, while his army is committing genocide, as confirmed by all international courts," referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

On another note, Abu Marzouk confirmed that Hamas consulted regarding its response to the U.S. plan with most Palestinian factions and a wide spectrum of the Palestinian people and its symbols, as well as with friends, allies, mediators, and even legal experts.

He stated that the Palestinian factions expressed their support and endorsement of everything mentioned in the statement.

A senior official in Tel Aviv revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was surprised by U.S. President Donald Trump's response to Hamas's recent statement, as Netanyahu considered the movement's response to be a 'complete rejection' of the American plan, contrary to other positive assessments.

According to the official, Netanyahu directed that the response from the occupation should be coordinated with the United States to ensure that it does not appear as if Hamas provided a positive response to the American proposal.

This comes after Hamas issued a statement on Friday agreeing to specific terms in Trump's plan, such as the exchange of detainees and managing Gaza with a technocratic government, while deferring other contentious issues to a national framework.

According to Axios, Netanyahu said during consultations last night that he sees Hamas's response as a 'rejection' of the proposal.

He instructed that the response from the occupation must be coordinated with the United States 'to ensure that the idea that Hamas gave a positive response is not solidified.'

In a striking contrast to Netanyahu's position, the report quoted the same official stating that the negotiating team of the occupation, responsible for the detainee issue, actually viewed Hamas's response as a 'positive response that opens a path to reach an agreement.'

Politically, this disparity reveals deep disagreements within the occupation government between the political level (represented by Netanyahu) and the professional level (represented by the negotiating team).

It seems that Netanyahu is seeking to present a hardline interpretation of Hamas's response to avoid American pressure to move forward with a plan that may not serve his internal political agenda.

Diplomatically, his instructions to coordinate with Washington appear to be an attempt to influence the official narrative adopted by the U.S. administration and to prevent the solidification of any positive momentum that could lead to an agreement.

The State of Qatar welcomed the announcement by Hamas of its agreement to the proposal put forward by U.S. President Donald Trump to end the war in the Gaza Strip.

Qatar confirmed that the movement's approval includes readiness to release all detainees, as part of the exchange formula mentioned in the proposal.

The official spokesperson for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized his country's full support for the statements issued by His Excellency the U.S. President, calling for an immediate ceasefire to facilitate the safe and swift release of hostages, achieving urgent results that halt the bloodshed of Palestinians in the region.

In this context, the State of Qatar clarified that it has already begun working with its mediation partners, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and in coordination with the United States of America, to continue discussions on the plan to ensure an end to the war.

The Israeli army attacked on Friday the last ship of the Global Solidarity Fleet and seized it while it was sailing in international waters towards the Gaza Strip.

A live broadcast from aboard the 'Marinet' ship showed moments when one of the Israeli naval boats approached it, and soldiers boarded the ship.

The fleet stated in a post on its Instagram page: 'Marinet, the last remaining ship of the Global Solidarity Fleet, was intercepted by Israeli occupation forces at 10:29 AM local time (GMT+3), approximately 42.5 nautical miles from Gaza (about 68 km).'

The fleet explained that 'over the course of 38 hours, Israeli occupation naval forces intercepted all 42 of our ships, which were carrying humanitarian aid and volunteers, determined to break the illegal Israeli blockade on Gaza.'

The fleet confirmed that the 'Marinet' ship continued to sail towards Gaza, despite Israel's seizure of 41 of the fleet's boats.

The Israeli police stated in a statement on Friday that naval forces arrested 470 participants in the fleet.

The Israeli Prison Service mentioned on Friday that about 200 activists from the fleet were interrogated, as they 'underwent a thorough search' before being transferred to detention at 'Ktsiot' prison in southern Israel.

On Thursday, the official Hebrew broadcasting authority reported that the Israeli navy managed to control 41 ships carrying about 400 participants in the fleet within 12 hours.

On Wednesday, the 'Solidarity Fleet' to break the blockade on Gaza announced via the American platform 'X' that it was attacked by about 10 Israeli ships.

The fleet issued a distress call after the Israeli army intercepted its ships in international waters, considering this escalation a 'war crime.'

The Israeli attack sparked popular protests and official condemnations observed in several countries, with calls for the release of detained activists and accountability for Tel Aviv's crimes and violations of international law.

International organizations, including 'Amnesty International,' called for protection for the 'Solidarity Fleet,' while the United Nations confirmed that the assault on it is 'unacceptable.'

Israel, the occupying power in Palestine, has previously engaged in acts of piracy against ships heading to Gaza, seizing them and deporting the activists on board.

This is the first time that dozens of ships have collectively sailed towards Gaza, home to about 2.4 million Palestinians, in a collective attempt to break the ongoing Israeli blockade on the territory for 18 years.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 66,225 deaths and 168,938 injuries, most of whom are children and women, and a famine that has claimed the lives of 455 Palestinians, including 151 children.

Fifteen citizens were martyred, including eleven in the city of Gaza, due to the gunfire and shelling by the Israeli occupation in several areas of the Gaza Strip since dawn on Friday.

Our correspondent reported the martyrdom of three citizens in the shelling of a vehicle in the Khan Younis area in the southern Gaza Strip.

He added that two citizens were martyred and others were injured due to the occupation's shelling of a group of citizens on Al-Maghribi Street in the Al-Sabra neighborhood in southern Gaza City, in addition to the martyrdom of one citizen and injuries to others as a result of the occupation's shelling of the Ansar area west of the city.

Rescue teams also recovered the bodies of two martyrs from under the rubble of Al-Falah School, which was shelled by the occupation five days ago in the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood in southeastern Gaza City, while the rescue teams were targeted by the occupation during the retrieval of the martyrs.

Several citizens were injured, most of them children, including serious cases, in the occupation's shelling of a group of citizens in the vicinity of Omar Al-Mukhtar Street in the Old Town of eastern Gaza City.

Dozens of right-wing settlers set up a camp on Thursday night near the northern border of the Gaza Strip, demanding that the occupying government allow them to return to former settlements inside the strip and rejecting the American plan to end the war.

The significance of this step, which received support from a Knesset member, lies in its direct challenge to the diplomatic path led by Washington, revealing the intentions of the extremist faction to impose an agenda for the complete reoccupation of the strip.

This move comes in the context of the growing voices of the far-right within the occupying society since the onset of the war on Gaza, which openly calls for the reconstruction of the settlements dismantled in 2005 in what was known as the "Disengagement Plan."

A poll showed that 66 percent of Israelis support U.S. President Donald Trump's plan regarding a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

According to the results of a poll published by the Hebrew newspaper "Maariv" on Friday, 66 percent of Israelis support Trump's plan, while 11 percent oppose it and 23 percent "have no specific opinion."

The poll was conducted by the private "Lazar" Institute and included a random sample of 500 Israelis with a margin of error of 4.4 percent.

However, the poll results indicated that 41 percent of the surveyed Israelis say there is "some chance" of implementing the plan, 14 percent believe there is a "great chance" for the plan's success, 30 percent think the chances of success are "slim," and 15 percent "have no specific opinion."

On September 29, Trump announced a plan consisting of 20 points, including: the release of Israeli prisoners held in Gaza within 72 hours of Israel's approval of the plan, a ceasefire, and the disarmament of Hamas.

Tel Aviv estimates that there are 48 Israeli captives in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while around 11,100 Palestinians are imprisoned in its jails, suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect, with many having died, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.

Trump's plan also calls for the establishment of an international supervisory body headed by him, responsible for training a governance administration in Gaza, without the participation of Hamas.

During a press conference with Trump at the White House last Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he "supports Trump's plan," considering it "achieves Israeli objectives from the war."

Meanwhile, Qatar announced on September 30 that it and Egypt (the mediating countries) informed Hamas of Trump's plan, and the movement "dealt responsibly and promised to study it."

Two days after informing Hamas, Hamas leader Mohammed Nazzal said in an interview with Qatari channel "Al Jazeera" that the movement "will respond soon" to Trump's plan, confirming the movement's seriousness in reaching understandings "away from the sword of time and the pressures exerted through threats."

Despite this, the Israeli army continues its ground deployment in key areas of Gaza City, bombarding civilians and demolishing buildings and residential facilities, as part of its efforts to occupy the city and displace Palestinians from it.

In another context, the poll results also indicate that the announcement of the plan contributed very slightly to the rise in popularity of the government parties led by Benjamin Netanyahu.

Maariv reported that after presenting Trump's plan and while awaiting Hamas's response, the coalition bloc's (government parties) chances increased this week, raising their seats in the Knesset to 49 "if elections were held today."

However, it noted: "Nevertheless, the opposition bloc holds the majority, with 61 seats (out of 120), even without the Arab parties, which continue to maintain stability and secured 10 seats this week."

To form a government in Israel, the support of at least 61 deputies in the Knesset is required.

No parliamentary elections are on the horizon due to Netanyahu's refusal to hold elections amid the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip for the past two years.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with U.S. support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 66,225 deaths and 168,938 injuries, most of whom are children and women, and a famine that claimed the lives of 455 Palestinians, including 151 children.

The Nasser Medical Complex reported the martyrdom and injury of several Palestinians in an Israeli occupation bombing on the Khan Younis area in the south, noting that the body of a girl who was martyred in the bombing was retrieved.

Additionally, the occupation's aircraft bombed a residential building consisting of 4 floors in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, while the occupation's warboats opened fire on the Nuseirat beach.

Al Jazeera's correspondent reported that the occupation's artillery continues to shell the northern areas of Al-Thawra Street in western Gaza City.

In the northern Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera's correspondent stated that the occupation detonated explosive vehicles among the homes of citizens and shelled the northwestern areas of Gaza City amid the ongoing displacement of civilians from within the city's neighborhoods.

Major Mahmoud Bissal, spokesperson for the Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip, told Al Jazeera that the occupation is targeting the essentials of life in Gaza City with all types of weapons.

In describing the current situation in the Strip, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) stated that tens of thousands of Palestinians are forced to repeatedly displace at great costs, and access to food and water remains limited.

It called for an immediate ceasefire in the Strip to allow humanitarian aid to reach safely.

Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Farhan Haq commented on the Israeli attack against the Global Solidarity Fleet, expressing hope that the participants in the fleet would not be harmed.

During a press conference, Haq called for respect for the laws in force in international waters in light of the Israeli attack against the Global Solidarity Fleet.

In response to a question about the Israeli occupation army's attack on the fleet and its detention of several ships and activists on board, Haq said: "We certainly believe in the necessity of respecting the laws in force in international waters. That is all I can say on this matter."

Regarding the position of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the civilian activists detained by Israel, Haq indicated that the organization's priority is to ensure that the individuals on board the ships are not harmed and that they are treated in a manner that respects their rights and dignity.

When asked why the Secretary-General hesitated to condemn the attack on the Global Solidarity Fleet, while he previously rushed to condemn attacks targeting ships in international waters in the Red Sea, Haq replied: "There is no other context I can share with you regarding the fleet."

As for whether Guterres discussed the issue of the fleet with any of the leaders, Haq confirmed that the Secretary-General had conversations with a large number of leaders during the 80th General Assembly meetings last month, addressing the situation in Gaza, including the issues raised by the activists on board the fleet.

On Wednesday evening, the "Solidarity Fleet" aiming to break the blockade on Gaza announced via the "X" platform that it was under attack from about 10 Israeli ships.

The fleet issued a distress call after the Israeli army intercepted its ships in international waters, considering this escalation a "war crime."

International organizations, including "Amnesty International," called for protection for the "Solidarity Fleet," while the United Nations confirmed that any attack on it is "unacceptable."

The Israeli attack sparked popular protests and official condemnations observed in several countries, amid calls for the release of the detained activists and accountability for Tel Aviv for its crimes and violations of international law.

Israel, the occupying power in Palestine, has previously engaged in acts of piracy against ships heading to Gaza, seizing them and deporting the activists on board.

This is the first time that dozens of ships are sailing together towards Gaza, which is home to about 2.4 million Palestinians, in a collective attempt to break the ongoing Israeli blockade on the territory for 18 years.
