Israeli Attack Kills 31 Near Aid Point In Gaza | Hamas SLAMS Israel Accusing IDF Of Bloodshed

An Israeli attack near a U.S.-backed aid distribution site in Gaza's Rafah killed at least 31 people, according to local health authorities. As ceasefire negotiations falter, blame is being traded between Hamas and Israel over the tragic incident. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which operates the site, denies any casualties. Meanwhile, Israel's military claims no knowledge of civilian injuries from its fire. The deadly strike comes amid failed truce talks, escalating violence, and accusations that aid is being weaponized.

In a shocking revelation, senior Hamas official Basem Naim claims that Trump’s envoy promised to lift the Gaza blockade, allow humanitarian aid, and publicly call for a ceasefire in exchange for the hostage’s release.

Former Hamas Hostages’ Letter to Trump and Netanyahu REVEALED | Trump Pressed After Edan’s Release

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency. Netanyahu’s office has not responded to the emotional appeal for a comprehensive deal. #Hamas #HostageCrisis #Israel #Trump #Netanyahu #EdanAlexander #MiddleEastPeace #FreeTheHostages #Gaza #USPolitics #IsraelHamasWar #TrumpDeals #SteveWitkoff #BreakingNews #MiddleEastCrisis #AmericanHostages #AbrahamAccords #SyriaIsrael #WarNegotiations #GlobalAppeal Also Read Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Launches Hamas-Style Missile Attack on Jammu; All Intercepted By Indian Air Defence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-launches-hamas-style-missile-attack-on-jammu-all-intercepted-by-indian-air-defence-4147919.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~ED.346~
