As the world anxiously awaits Hamas's official response to Trump's 'plan' to end the war in Gaza, and in light of the short deadline and the threats issued by the American president, a state of ambiguity and contradiction has prevailed in the media scene, with completely conflicting reports leaking about the movement's position, without any official statement to resolve the debate so far.

The Saudi newspaper 'Asharq Al-Awsat' reported that sources within Hamas said that leaders in the movement, supported by the military wing's leadership, have asked the political leadership abroad to study the proposal 'positively' with the aim of ending the war. This direction is supported by other reports, as the American network 'CBS News' quoted an informed source stating that the movement 'leans towards approval' and that it will respond today or tomorrow.

In stark contrast, other reports emerged indicating a firm rejection of key terms in the plan. The 'BBC' network quoted a source in Hamas stating that the movement completely rejects any proposal that includes disarming it, considering the idea of deploying an international force in Gaza as 'a new form of occupation.' The 'Asharq Al-Awsat' report itself also indicated the existence of another current within Hamas, including elements from the military wing, who see the plan as merely a 'trick' and strongly oppose it.

Amid this contradiction, Hamas has not issued any official and final response. Sources close to the movement confirmed that they will work on an official response as soon as possible after consultations with all Palestinian factions are completed. For his part, the Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, confirmed that Hamas 'has dealt responsibly and promised to study the plan,' noting that the proposal achieves a key goal of ending the war, but includes issues that need clarification and negotiation.

President Donald Trump had clarified the details of his plan regarding the Gaza Strip in agreement with the occupying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The month of September did not pass without severe violations carried out by the Israeli occupation as part of a systematic policy to empty Jerusalem of its residents. Most of the violations documented this month can be categorized under the umbrella of "collective punishment."

Collective punishments were imposed on about 70,000 Palestinians living in the villages located northwest of Jerusalem, following the martyrdom of two young men from the villages of Qabiba and Qatna, which belong to this geography, after a shooting operation they carried out on the morning of the 8th of last month in the settlement neighborhood of "Ramot."

The operation resulted in the death of 7 Israelis and injuries to more than 15 others, while the two perpetrators, Muthna Amro (20 years old) and Muhammad Taha (21 years old), were martyred, and the occupation authorities continue to hold their bodies in freezers.

Following the operation, the occupation decided to impose collective punishments on the residents of the areas northwest of Jerusalem, starting with the closure of what is known as the "Biddu Tunnel" leading to it, followed by a massive arrest campaign that coincided with the storming of most citizens' homes, especially in the villages of Qabiba and Qatna, and culminating in the demolition of the home of one of the perpetrators, Muthna Amro.

Unprecedented measures and punishments cannot be separated from the decision to classify both the villages of Nabi Samuel and Beit Iksa and the Khalayla neighborhood as contact areas, which were part of the collective punishments targeting Palestinians during the past month. The process of issuing special cards and permits for residents of these areas began, and entry will only be allowed for holders of these permits.

In Al-Aqsa Mosque, violations continued to be carried out by the occupation police on one side and leaders of the Temple groups and their supporters on the other. Throughout the month, 5,050 extremists entered the courtyards, and incursions were carried out on the occasion of the Hebrew New Year over three days, during which 1,317 settlers stormed the mosque.

During their celebration of this holiday, the extremists deliberately blew the shofar inside the courtyards of the first qibla 5 times, in addition to singing, group dancing, performing prayers, and collectively performing the epic prostration ritual. Some of the intruders were keen to wear "repentance" white clothes, which Jewish law stipulates should be worn during the first ten days of the year as they are "days of repentance."

This clothing reinforces the imposition of the biblical identity in Al-Aqsa, which is the main goal of its repeated wearing by the intruders at all times of the year, not just during these days. This white attire is also one of the outfits worn by the Temple priests throughout the year.

Thus, its imposition in Al-Aqsa serves to pave the way for the presence of the Temple priests in the mosque, as they are the class that leads Jewish prayers in the alleged temple according to the biblical myth. The impact of their presence in Al-Aqsa becomes multiplied, according to researcher on Jerusalem affairs Ziad Abu Heis.

The assaults in Al-Aqsa Mosque were not limited to the celebrations of the Hebrew New Year; violations were recorded throughout the month, including settlers deliberately celebrating the anniversary of the "Bager" operation in Lebanon through a mass incursion during which they commemorated an Israeli soldier killed there.

Extremist Yehuda Glick also led a special incursion to commemorate Charlie Kirk days after his death in America. The "Beit El" organization published a photo of dozens of intruders and wrote, "Dozens prayed yesterday on the Temple Mount in memory of the late Charlie Kirk and for the kidnapped and soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, as well as for widows and orphans."

At the western wall of the mosque, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stormed the Buraq Square accompanied by Netanyahu, and they performed prayers there. The next day, Rubio participated in the opening of a new section of the "Pilgrims' Path" tunnel that was dug beneath the town of Silwan south of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Before the Hebrew New Year, extremists blew the shofar inside the courtyards and performed morning and evening prayers, as well as the "Selichot" prayer, which extremists had deliberately begun to perform in Al-Aqsa weeks earlier.

Regarding arrests, 105 arrests were carried out in the Jerusalem governorate, according to Al Jazeera's documentation, affecting 9 minors and two women, with most concentrated in the villages northwest of Jerusalem. The occupation

In the first clear indication of its stance on the American peace plan, a source within Hamas revealed the movement's outright rejection of two key provisions believed to form the core of the proposal, emphasizing that the movement will not accept disarmament and considers any presence of international forces in Gaza as 'a new form of occupation.'

A source in Hamas was quoted by a network stating that the movement views its weapons as a guarantee against the recurrence of aggression and will not agree to relinquish them under any circumstances.

The source added that the idea of deploying an 'international force' in the sector, which has been mentioned in leaks about the plan, is completely rejected, as the movement sees it as an attempt to impose foreign guardianship and a cover for the continued security control over Gaza.

These statements come at a critical time, just a few days after the movement officially received 'Trump's plan' through intermediaries in Qatar and Egypt, while the world awaits its official response within the timeframe set by the American president.

These points are considered 'red lines' that could complicate the negotiation process and indicate that Hamas will demand substantial amendments to the security provisions in any final agreement.

Today, Wednesday, colonists cut down more than 200 ancient olive trees and over 100 fruit-bearing almond trees in the town of Sa'ir, northeast of Hebron.

Citizen Issa Muhammad Shalaldeh reported that groups from the "Asfar" and "Kedumim" settlements, established on the town's land, used electric saws to cut and chop the trees in the "Um al-Batam" area of Wadi Sa'ir, completely destroying them.

The trees belong to him and his brother Izzat. It is worth mentioning that colonists from the same settlements burned dozens of dunams planted with grapes, olives, and almonds last month, as part of a series of ongoing assaults aimed at displacing residents from their lands in favor of colonial expansion.

The Israeli army has killed 22 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since dawn on Wednesday, including 19 in the city of Gaza, which it seeks to occupy and displace its citizens.

Dozens more have been injured due to the air and artillery bombardment carried out by the army as part of the genocide it has been committing in the Gaza Strip for two years.

According to eyewitnesses and medical sources, the Israeli airstrikes targeted a school housing displaced persons, as well as homes and civilian gatherings, resulting in dozens of casualties among the dead and injured.

In the Zeitoun neighborhood in southern Gaza City, 10 Palestinians were killed and others were injured, including 7 civil defense officers, as a result of the Israeli army's bombardment of Al-Falah School, which shelters displaced persons.

In the Al-Daraj neighborhood in the eastern part of the city, 7 Palestinians were killed and others were injured due to an Israeli airstrike on an apartment in one of the residential buildings.

In the Al-Rimal neighborhood in the western part of the city, two Palestinians were killed and others were injured after an airstrike targeted a house.

In the Al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, two Palestinians were killed and others were injured due to an Israeli bombardment.

Meanwhile, one Palestinian was killed and others were injured in the Al-Bureij camp as a result of a house being targeted by bombardment.

Israel continues, with American support, its genocidal war on Gaza, which has so far resulted in the deaths of 66,097 Palestinians and the injury of 168,536, most of whom are women and children.

In a direct and explicit accusation, former Prime Minister of the occupying entity, Ehud Barak, described the current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement regarding the demolition of buildings in the Gaza Strip as amounting to a "war crime."

This came during Barak's talk on the occupying army's radio, where he sharply criticized what Netanyahu revealed about the aim of the destruction operations in the sector.

Barak clarified that this description arises because Netanyahu linked the demolition operations to the goal of preventing Palestinian residents from returning to their homes and areas.

Jenin 1-10-2025 - Israeli occupation forces stormed the center of Jenin city this morning, Wednesday.

Our correspondent reported that Israeli infantry units stormed the main roundabout in the city and fired live ammunition at citizens, while soldiers spread in the area of the market, disrupting the movement of citizens and vehicles.

The Israeli aggression on the city and camp of Jenin has been ongoing since January 21 of last year, amidst a state of tension and continuous military presence.

This morning, Wednesday, colonists set fire to parts of a house in the town of Hawara, south of Nablus.

The head of the Public Relations Department in the Hawara Municipality, Rana Abu Haniya, reported that a group of colonists attacked the home of citizen Abdul Hakim Al-Amar in the Ras Zaid area, southwest of the town, and set part of it (the porch) on fire, causing material damage to the place.

She added that the area has been witnessing ongoing land leveling and repeated assaults by colonists, targeting the homes of citizens near the new settlement outpost established there.

Seventeen citizens have been martyred since midnight until this Wednesday morning, as a result of a series of airstrikes and shelling by the occupation forces targeting various areas in the Gaza Strip.

Emergency and ambulance sources reported that three citizens were martyred in airstrikes that targeted two homes in the Al-Nuseirat and Al-Bureij camps in the central Gaza Strip, while another citizen was martyred and several civil defense personnel were injured due to direct shelling by the occupation forces while they were attempting to evacuate casualties from the bombing of Al-Falah School, which was sheltering displaced persons in the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City.

The body of martyr Hosni Abu Hweishal arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, following the targeting of a residential apartment in the Al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip.

In the Al-Daraj neighborhood in the center of Gaza City, dozens of explosive devices dropped by the occupation's drones of the 'quadcopter' type exploded on the rooftops of citizens' homes, causing significant material damage.

The occupation's aircraft also bombed a residential apartment on Al-Thawra Street in the Al-Rimal neighborhood west of Gaza City, resulting in injuries, while other citizens were injured due to the targeting of a house on Al-Thalathini Street in the Al-Sabra neighborhood south of the city.

Additionally, health statistics showed that the month of September 2025 alone witnessed the martyrdom of 2,106 citizens in the Gaza Strip, distributed as follows: North of the Strip: 1,382 martyrs, Central Strip: 347 martyrs, South of the Strip: 377 martyrs.

The head of the communication department in the Turkish presidency, Burhanettin Duran, confirmed that the Israeli administration must know that with its systematic attacks against journalists, it will never be able to prevent the publication of the truth or hide its crimes against humanity and genocide.

This came in a condolence message published by Duran on his account on the Turkish platform "In Social" on Tuesday evening, following the killing of journalist Yahya Barzaq due to an Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip.

Duran stated: "Independent journalist Yahya Barzaq, who conveys to the world the genocide being carried out by Israel in Gaza on behalf of TRT Channel, was martyred in an airstrike carried out by the perpetrators of genocide."

He added: "Yahya, whose story we witnessed in the documentary film (Gaza Remains in My Pictures) produced by TRT World, has become etched in our memory as a brave voice seeking the truth amid occupation and injustice."

Duran emphasized that this "brutal entity" adds a new war crime to its daily crimes, and it will be judged not only by the conscience of humanity but also before international law.

He continued: "The Israeli administration must know that with its systematic attacks on journalists, it will never be able to prevent the publication of the truth or hide its crimes against humanity and genocide."

Duran prayed for mercy for journalist Barzaq and expressed his condolences to his family, loved ones, and the TRT family.

Barzaq was killed due to an Israeli attack targeting civilians near the "Environmental Street" intersection west of Deir al-Balah city, which resulted in the deaths of 5 other Palestinians.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 66,097 deaths and 168,536 injuries, most of whom are children and women, and a famine that claimed the lives of 453 Palestinians, including 150 children.

The comprehensive cutting off of food and essential supplies in the Gaza Strip is not separate from its contextual and historical dimension, and its initial signs did not emerge as a reaction to the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation on October 7, 2023, but rather represents a trend adopted by the leaders of the occupation since 2006 after Hamas won the legislative elections.

Documents revealed in 2008 calculated the number of calories for Gazans and specified the number of trucks allowed to enter since that time. At that time, statements were published by Israeli officials referring to what was called "the dietary regimen for Palestinians, without starving them to death, but keeping them in a state of continuous deprivation," as attributed to Dov Weissglass, an advisor in the Prime Minister's office at the time.

Many historical examples abound regarding the use of starvation as a political and military weapon aimed at breaking the will of peoples and paralyzing their ability to endure and resist, just as occurred in the "Holodomor" in Ukraine (1932-1933), where nearly 4 million Ukrainians perished, and as happened during the Siege of Leningrad (1941-1945), where approximately one million people died out of a total of 3 million.

From the womb of these historical examples, one can trace the same motives in the reality of Gaza today, where evidence shows that Israel seeks to place Palestinians within a deadly hunger coercion, hoping to influence their will and political choices, even forcing them to leave their land. Is the occupation attempting to break the will of Palestinians through a biological approach after failing to exert military pressure on them?

Biopolitics forms the framework for understanding how political power exercises control over the biological life of populations, as theorized by French philosopher Michel Foucault in his lectures at the Collège de France (1975-1976), later published under the title "Society Must Be Defended."

Foucault argues that modern power exerts its dominance by managing life itself, through precise control over basic biological processes such as birth, illness, nutrition, and health. Giorgio Agamben took this concept further in his book "Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life," where he examined the sovereign endeavor to reduce humans to their mere biological existence, stripped of their human and political rights.

In this way, power decides which individuals are recognized as belonging to the community of political beings and which are classified solely in terms of their biological reality.

Agamben addresses the basis of this distinction using the two terms employed by the Greeks to differentiate between forms of life: zoē, meaning "natural reproductive life" confined to the private sphere, and bios, meaning "a specific form of life," or political life.

In the context of Gaza, this manifests in a more horrific form, where hunger is used not only to strip Palestinians of their political will but also as a tool to control their bodies and disrupt their vital functions, paving the way for controlling their behavior and decisions.

Thus, the basic biological need has transformed into a political weapon targeting collective will.

Studies indicate the brain's need for glucose as a primary energy source, and that a sharp decline in its levels during prolonged food deprivation leads to a comprehensive disruption in executive and cognitive functions, alongside a loss of balance and weakened motivation and drive due to a lack of essential nutrients such as amino acids and vitamins, as confirmed by brain chemistry research.

Research also shows that extreme hunger is associated with a noticeable decline in concentration, memory, and attention, generating cognitive biases that push individuals to make short-term decisions leaning towards immediate gratification based on essential survival needs, driving them into a state akin to immediate obsession, stripped of the ability to plan long-term or focus on moral issues.

The Minnesota starvation experiment (1944-1945), the results of which were published in the book "The Biology of Human Hunger," subjected 36 healthy young volunteers from Europe to partial starvation for six months. The result was a decline in their mental performance, and they became consumed with food obsessions all the time, leaving little room in their minds for other issues.

Many participants in the experiment, conducted during World War II, fell prey to acute apathy, with a clear decline in their ability to think and plan, and their extreme hunger reached a point where their decision-making process became nearly paralyzed.

Moreover, recent studies in neuroscience indicate the effect of hunger on the activity of brain regions responsible for memory and planning. Neuroimaging studies have shown that hunger is associated with changes in blood flow and neural activity in the hippocampus, responsible for memory formation, and the prefrontal cortex, responsible for future planning.

When the brain is

Two dead and two others were injured this morning, Wednesday, due to the targeting of the Israeli occupation forces at Al-Falah School, which shelters displaced persons in the Zaitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City. They were transferred to the Baptist Hospital in the city.

The occupation army announced in a statement the closure of Al-Rasheed Street from the southern side of the Gaza Strip starting at 12:00 PM, clarifying that movement southward will be available for those who were unable to evacuate Gaza City earlier.

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation has continued to commit massacres against our people in the Gaza Strip, resulting so far in 66,097 dead and 168,536 injured, the majority of whom are children and women, in addition to the death of 453 citizens, including 150 children, due to famine.

The occupying army issued a new and urgent warning to the remaining residents of Gaza City and northern Gaza, demanding that they evacuate immediately to the southern areas.

The occupation specified in its statement a deadline that ends at exactly twelve noon, during which the Al-Rasheed Street will be completely closed to traffic.

The statement added that during this limited time window, civilians will be allowed to move "freely and without inspection."

The statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump during the press conference he held with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, Monday, at the White House, which included the announcement of the outlines of his plan regarding Gaza, were not free from factually unsupported claims about the sector.

During the conference, Trump raised three pieces of misinformation regarding the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, accusations of corruption against UNRWA, and the number of Palestinian fighters who have been martyred since the "Al-Aqsa Flood" attack on October 7, 2023.

Trump has consistently made false statements throughout his two terms in office, whether on social media platforms or in press conferences, which has made many of them the subject of widespread criticism from the media and political figures.

The U.S. president claimed in his speech that the election of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) marked a turning point that led Israel to withdraw from the Gaza Strip, believing—according to his narrative—that this step would open the door to a phase of calm and peace.

He added that Israel, at that time, told the Palestinians, "Take Gaza, this is our contribution to peace," but he quickly noted that what happened later was not as they expected, as the promised peace was not achieved; rather, it was, in his words, the exact opposite.

However, the truth is that Israel implemented a unilateral disengagement plan from Gaza in 2005, evacuating settlements in the sector and others in the West Bank, while withdrawing Israeli forces from Gaza.

At that time, Israel claimed that the declared goal of this step was to enhance the peace process with the Palestinians, but many observers considered that the withdrawal was not a step toward peace; rather, it was an attempt to reduce Israel's commitments in Gaza without negotiating with the Palestinian Authority, which led to strengthening Hamas's position among the Palestinians.

In 2006, Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections, leading to the formation of a government under its leadership, but in 2007, clashes broke out between Hamas and the Fatah National Liberation Movement, ending with the former taking control of the Gaza Strip, resulting in a division of the Palestinian Authority between the West Bank and Gaza.

The Israeli withdrawal from Gaza was not driven by direct expectations of peace; rather, it was part of a unilateral Israeli strategy, and Hamas's victory in the elections was unexpected and came after the Israeli withdrawal, not before it, in addition to not being part of an Israeli or American plan to achieve peace.

During his speech at the conference, the U.S. president accused the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) of corruption: "I cut taxpayer funding to the corrupt UNRWA."

Trump announced on February 4 of last year his decision to stop funding the agency at the beginning of his second term in the White House, based on accusations of involvement by some of its employees in an attack carried out by Hamas on Israel.

However, a review of these allegations revealed a more complex picture; the results of an internal investigation conducted by UNRWA showed that the accusations involved 19 employees, while the initial evidence was limited to only nine, and even in these cases, their involvement was not conclusively proven.

As for his description of the agency as "corrupt," it was contradicted by an independent review conducted by three prestigious research centers led by former French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna in April 2024, which concluded that UNRWA "has a more developed neutral approach than the majority of UN bodies and similar NGOs."

The U.S. president noted in his speech what he described as significant losses within Hamas, stating that "more than 20,000 have been killed" and that the time has come for the movement to accept "the terms of the plan" presented.

Trump's statement reflects previous Israeli estimates, but they remain questionable due to the lack of independent evidence of their accuracy and doubts about the Israeli army's ability to distinguish between civilians and fighters.

On the other hand, neither Hamas nor its military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has issued any official statistics on the number of its fighters who have been martyred since the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation about a year ago, making any proposed number require independent verification before being accepted as an objective fact.

It is worth noting that the White House revealed in a statement the details of President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his support for the plan, while Hamas promised to study it responsibly.

Following the announcement of the

Gaza Under Fire: A Declared Famine and Genocide Amid the Expansion of the Occupation's Assault. With the entry of the aggression on its 726th day, the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip is worsening, as the occupying army continues to escalate its brutal attacks, leaving behind scenes of immense destruction and horrific massacres, amidst a suffocating siege that has compelled the United Nations to officially declare famine for the first time in the Middle East.

In the midst of this genocide, the chapters of a political initiative led by U.S. President Donald Trump are unfolding, while international parties, including Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, pressure Hamas to accept a ceasefire plan, the details and guarantees of which remain a subject of complex negotiations.

A comprehensive genocide and a systematic starvation policy dominate the face of the aggression, where the toll of malnutrition victims has risen to 453 martyrs, including 150 children.

Unknown movements in the open sea are prompting the "Fleet of Resilience" to raise its maximum state of alert, just before reaching Gaza.

In a rapid development, the organizers of the "Fleet of Resilience" to break the siege on Gaza announced their return to a state of maximum alert; this is a result of the approach of unidentified ships sailing without lights, among the fleet's vessels in the open sea.

The fleet confirmed in a statement that despite these alarming movements, it continues to sail towards its declared goal, indicating its proximity to the 120 nautical mile mark, which is the area that previously witnessed the interception of similar vessels.

An attack carried out by Israeli settlers has led to the cessation of operations at 3 water wells relied upon by residents of 19 Palestinian communities near the city of Ramallah in the central West Bank.

The Jerusalem District Water Authority stated in a press release: The repeated attacks by settlers on Tuesday on the water wells in the Ein Samiya area (east of Ramallah) caused the main wells to stop pumping water, threatening to deprive thousands of citizens in more than 19 residential communities of their basic right to water.

The authority, which covers the Ramallah and Jerusalem governorates, indicated that the attack resulted in the cutting of control lines for wells 2, 4, and 6, leading to their complete shutdown.

It noted that its teams are working around the clock to repair the damage and resume water pumping as quickly as possible.

It called on official and international bodies to urgently intervene to stop these daily attacks and ensure the protection of the Palestinian citizens' right to access water as it is their main source of life.

It pointed out that the Ein Samiya wells have been subjected to a series of repeated attacks in recent months, while its teams face significant challenges in reaching the wells and repairing the damage, which exacerbates the water crisis and threatens the water security of dozens of Palestinian communities.

Ein Samiya is one of the most important sources of groundwater in the northeastern Ramallah area, with an estimated total production capacity of about 12,000 cubic meters per day, representing 17% of the daily quantities supplied by the Jerusalem District Water Authority.

The wells are located on the eastern slopes of the West Bank and have witnessed significant settlement attacks since before October 7, 2023. However, with the onset of the genocide war in Gaza, Israeli settlers took control of the area and expelled Palestinian farmers from it, hindering the Jerusalem water authority from performing its duties.

In Ein Samiya, located in the lands of Kafr Malik (east of Ramallah), there are 6 water wells that have supplied the majority of towns in eastern Ramallah with drinking water since the 1960s.

Alongside the genocide war in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have killed at least 1,047 Palestinians and injured about 10,300, in addition to arresting more than 19,000, including 400 children, according to official Palestinian data.

An informed source said that officials from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey held a meeting with a delegation from the Hamas negotiating team to discuss U.S. President Donald Trump's plan, while the movement confirmed that it would responsibly consider the plan, which the Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs stated achieves a main goal of ending the war in Gaza.

The source clarified that the Hamas delegation confirmed during the meeting that it would work on an official response as soon as possible after consultations with Palestinian factions concluded.

The same source indicated that the meeting of officials from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey with the Hamas delegation is part of the technical discussions to formulate the final position on Trump's plan.

The U.S. President had given Hamas 3 to 4 days to respond to the plan, warning that their situation would be 'extremely difficult' if they rejected it, emphasizing that Arab and Islamic countries, as well as Israel, had agreed to the plan.

Meanwhile, Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani expressed hope that everyone would view the initiative constructively, noting that it achieves a main goal of ending the war.

He confirmed that the plan includes issues that need clarification and negotiation, pointing out that there are opportunities related to stopping the war, preventing displacement, and managing the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs noted that meetings regarding the plan are taking place with Hamas with the participation of Egypt and Turkey, confirming that the movement has acted responsibly and promised to study the plan.

He stated that basic demands from the Palestinian side are present in Trump's plan, but other aspects need detailing, such as the Israeli withdrawal and the Palestinian administration of the Gaza Strip.

The Axios website reported that U.S. officials are willing to discuss Hamas's specific requests for clarifications or amendments but will not open the entire plan for discussion.

The American site revealed that the plan announced by the U.S. President regarding Gaza underwent substantial modifications introduced by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, leading to a significant change in the terms of the agreement that the United States and several Arab and Islamic countries had previously approved.

The new proposal links the Israeli withdrawal to the progress of the disarmament process of Hamas and grants Israel veto power over the process. Even if all conditions are met and the three phases of withdrawal are completed, Israeli forces will remain within a security perimeter inside Gaza 'until Gaza is fully secured against any renewed threat,' which could mean indefinitely.

Officials from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and Turkey have expressed their anger at these amendments.

In Israel, the newspaper 'Israel Hayom' quoted Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar as saying that any amendment to Trump's plan means rejecting it.

Channel 12 reported Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir stating that the proposed agreement is dangerous to Israel's security and is full of loopholes, failing to achieve the war objectives set by the government.

He added that everyone in Israel is eager for the return of prisoners, but the price is unbelievable, as he put it.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that Ben Gvir called on members of the 'Jewish Power' party bloc in the Knesset to meet to discuss Trump's proposal.

In a related context, the Israeli site 'Walla' quoted a security official stating that military operations in the Gaza Strip will witness an escalation in the coming days, confirming that there is no intention to reduce the pace of fighting at this stage.

The Israeli security official clarified that the duration and extent of the fighting will depend on the nature of the response that Hamas will provide to the proposed U.S. plan.

The security official pointed out that Israeli military plans are pre-approved, and if the response is negative, there is a decision to expand military operations.

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is a candidate to manage Gaza, described U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in the Gaza Strip as 'bold and clever', noting that it 'provides us with the best opportunity to end two years of war, misery, and suffering.'

In a statement published by the 'Tony Blair Institute for Global Change', Blair said that 'if the plan is approved, it could end the war, provide immediate relief to Gaza, and offer a better and brighter future for its people, while ensuring Israel's absolute and permanent security, and releasing all hostages.'

Blair, who led his country into the Iraq War while he was Prime Minister, added that 'Trump's willingness to chair the Peace Council to oversee the new Gaza is a significant sign of support and confidence' in Gaza's future.

Blair's discussion about Gaza comes as part of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan, which mentioned that Blair would be responsible within a three-member committee to manage the sector.

The Hebrew newspaper 'Haaretz' reported on former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's plan to manage the Gaza Strip after the cessation of the Israeli genocide, which includes the formation of three security forces, with a budget estimated at $387.5 million.

According to 'Haaretz', Blair's plan includes a multi-layered hierarchical structure, where senior international diplomats and businessmen are at the top, while Palestinians manage affairs on the ground.

According to the plan, titled 'The International Transitional Authority for the Gaza Strip (JETA)', which consists of 21 pages, the authority will be managed by an international council.

The Hebrew newspaper added: 'The head of the international authority will be the highest political executive authority in Gaza, but will work in close consultation with the Palestinian Authority.'

It quoted an unnamed source within the Israeli occupation government as saying: 'Blair is set to take on the position of head of the International Transitional Authority for the Gaza Strip.'

For his part, a member of the political bureau of the movement, Hossam Badran, stated that Blair is 'an unwelcome figure in the Palestinian case', and confirmed that the movement has not received any proposal through intermediaries regarding a ceasefire.

He considered that 'linking any plan to this unwelcome person (Blair) is a bad omen for the Palestinian people, as he is a negative figure, and perhaps deserves to be before international courts for the crimes he has committed, especially his role in the war on Iraq (2003-2011)', describing the Hamas leader's view of Blair as 'the brother of the devil', saying that he 'has not brought good to the Palestinian cause, nor to Arabs or Muslims, and his criminal and destructive role has been known for years.'

The Hamas movement is facing intense diplomatic pressure from key mediators, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, to urge it to provide a positive response to the proposal put forward by U.S. President Donald Trump to end the conflict.

President Trump announced that he is giving Hamas a deadline of three to four days to respond to his proposal.

The proposed plan includes many of the demands made by Hamas, such as the release of 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and an increase in humanitarian aid.

The Ansar Allah group (Houthis) said today, Tuesday, that it will target major American oil companies such as ExxonMobil and Chevron.

The Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center, based in Sana'a, stated that it has listed 13 American companies, 9 individuals, and 2 ships on its sanctions list.

The center clarified in a statement that it included these entities, individuals, and assets on the sanctions list for facilitating the export, re-export, transfer, loading, purchasing, or selling of American crude oil from American ports.

The executive director of the Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center said, "The actions taken today... are considered a first step in response to the sanctions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury on June 20, July 22, and September 11, 2025, by designating and listing entities, individuals, and ships on the sanctions list."

He pointed out that this contradicts what the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Sultanate of Oman announced on May 6 regarding de-escalation and a ceasefire between the United States and Yemen."

The truce agreed upon with the administration of President Donald Trump stipulated not to attack vessels associated with the United States sailing in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

The center acts as a link between the Houthi forces and commercial shipping companies.

A U.S. federal judge ruled that the Trump administration violated the Constitution by targeting foreign students and academics for their participation in protests and campaigns supporting Palestinians to condemn the Israeli war on Gaza.

Judge William Young, from the district court in Boston, stated that the Trump administration adopted an illegal policy that involved revoking the visas of foreign students and faculty members who engaged in pro-Palestinian advocacy, detaining them, and deporting them.

Young considered this a suppression of free speech and a violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

The U.S. judge clarified that the ruling at this stage is limited to proving the illegality of the policy in question, noting that he will later determine the necessary measures to address the issue.

Lawyers for faculty groups urged the court to issue orders preventing the Trump administration from threatening to take such actions.

The Trump administration took strict measures against protests in the country regarding the Israeli genocide in Gaza, cutting funding to universities and seeking to deport some pro-Palestinian activists under the pretext of anti-Semitism.

The campaign against foreign students began with the arrest of Palestinian-origin student Mahmoud Khalil last March, and later expanded to include the detention and deportation of others, with judges ordering the release of detainees in most cases.

The U.S. administration exerted significant pressure, including threats to cut federal funding to several prominent universities, such as Columbia and Harvard, to push them to target students and teachers involved in activities supporting the Palestinian cause.

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and the Palestinian resistance factions are facing a difficult situation, according to analysts, as they are required to respond quickly to the American plan presented by President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza. However, this plan needs in-depth study - as they say - due to its ambiguous points.

Trump has given Hamas a maximum of 4 days to respond to his plan, otherwise Israel has the green light "to do what it needs to do," describing this plan as "clear and comprehensive, and it has gained wide Israeli and Arab acceptance."

According to journalist specializing in American affairs, Mohamed El-Menshawi, Hamas is in a tough position because Trump wants a clear answer to his plan: yes or no, due to his eagerness to achieve some accomplishment even at the expense of the Palestinians.

The negotiating delegation from Hamas promised, upon receiving Trump's plan, to study it responsibly, as confirmed by the spokesperson for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, Majid Al-Ansari. According to the ministry, a meeting is supposed to be held on Tuesday evening in Doha to discuss the details of the plan, with the participation of a delegation from Hamas and officials from Turkey and Egypt.

In the opinion of academic and Middle East policy expert Dr. Mahjoub Al-Zuwairi, Hamas is required to be vigilant in its position regarding the plan, not excluding the possibility of demanding further clarifications and guarantees, and focusing on the issue of the plan's marginalization of the Palestinians the day after the war ends, whether for the Palestinian National Authority or for Hamas.

Al-Zuwairi believes - in his remarks to the program "Beyond the News" - that what the American president presented to Arab and Muslim leaders when he met with them included general issues such as stopping the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, ending the war, and allowing aid into the sector, as well as the issue of recognizing the Palestinian state.

However, Al-Zuwairi sees that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's - wanted by the International Criminal Court - swift announcement of his approval of Trump's plan indicates that he "took everything and gave nothing."

According to El-Menshawi, what reinforces the position that says Israel got everything it wanted through the U.S. administration's plan is that members of the Senate and House from both the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States supported the plan and saw that it serves Israel.

Despite Netanyahu's approval, the American plan faced severe opposition within the Israeli government, as the far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich launched a sharp attack on it, describing it as "a return to Oslo and a resounding diplomatic failure."

According to academic and Israeli affairs expert Dr. Mahmoud Yizbak, the Israeli right's attack on the plan came because it did not meet its demands for annexing parts of the West Bank and establishing settlements in northern Gaza, demands for which the right sent a delegation to the White House. However, Netanyahu - Yizbak adds - has become a hero in the eyes of Israeli protesters who criticized him just two days ago.

It is noted that several Arab and Islamic countries welcomed the American initiative, emphasizing the necessity of delivering humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip, stopping displacement operations, and adhering to a political path leading to a two-state solution.

Trump's plan, which includes 21 points, stipulates the release of Israeli prisoners in Gaza within 72 hours and the disarmament of Hamas. It also states that Gaza will be temporarily managed by a Palestinian transitional technocratic committee, responsible for managing public services under the supervision of a transitional international body called the "Peace Council," chaired by Trump.
