Days after Israel’s military announced the killing of Hamas’ elusive spokesman Abu Obaida, mystery still surrounds his fate. The IDF and Shin Bet claim a targeted strike eliminated him, coordinated from an Israeli intelligence situation room. Reports say his wife and children were killed, but Hamas has neither confirmed nor denied his death, fueling speculation. With no body recovered, questions linger over whether Abu Obaida—Hamas’ most secretive and feared figure—is truly dead or remains alive in hiding.

A rare video of Abu Obaida as a teenager giving a speech in Gaza back in 2004 has gone viral after Israel confirmed killing the top Hamas commander. Social media is flooded with clips highlighting his early rhetoric and leadership in Hamas’ Qassam Brigades. The resurfacing of these speeches has reignited debates on resistance and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

A leaked plan reportedly under consideration by U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to place the Gaza Strip under American control and forcibly relocate millions of Palestinians. Hamas has strongly condemned the proposal, calling it a form of ethnic cleansing, while ordinary Gazans insist their homeland is not for sale. The controversial plan envisions Gaza as a “tourist Riviera” and high-tech zone, displacing its current population either abroad or into restricted areas. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue heavy operations in Gaza City, destroying homes and killing dozens of civilians, escalating the humanitarian crisis.

A day after Israel killed Hamas spokesman Abu Obaida, Hamas’ armed wing launched a surprise strike on Israeli forces in Gaza City. Using heavy mortars and guerrilla tactics, Hamas dismantled an IDF company near Hassan al-Banna mosque, halting Israeli advances. The IDF has now admitted losing 900 soldiers in the conflict, underscoring Hamas’ resilience. Tensions grow as Israel faces internal rifts, with PM Netanyahu clashing with IDF Chief Zamir over a possible hostage deal. The war intensifies as both sides reject compromise.

The IDF and Shin Bet eliminated Musbah Dayyah, the fourth Mujahideen Brigades leader killed in recent months, in a Gaza operation in Nuseirat. Dayyah, a key figure in the October 7 massacre, orchestrated terror attacks, recruited operatives in the West Bank, and targeted IDF forces. The Mujahideen were responsible for kidnapping andmurdering Shiri Bibas and her children, Ariel and Kfir. This strike significantly disrupts the group’s terror operations across Gaza, Judea, and Samaria.

Israel under pressure to respond to ceasefire proposal as strikes on Gaza continue
Qatar has stressed the urgency of brokering a ceasefire in Gaza after Hamas showed a “positive response” to a proposal from Arab countries, but Israel has yet to weigh in as its military prepares an offensive in some of the territory's most densely populated areas.

After Hamas accepted new ceasefire terms to release half of the hostages, Israel has shifted conditions, demanding the release of all 50 remaining captives. The move risks derailing a Qatar- and Egypt-brokered truce. Netanyahu insists war will only end if Hamas disarms, Gaza is demilitarized, and Israeli security control is secured. With over 62,000 killed and Gaza on the brink of famine, Trump’s call for the “full destruction of Hamas” fuels fears of a trilateral conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Hamas.

Hamas has agreed to a 60-day ceasefire proposal mediated by Egypt and Qatar, with U.S. support, in a bid to halt escalating violence in Gaza. The plan includes the return of half the hostages taken since October 7 and the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners by Israel. While Hamas has confirmed its approval, the Israeli government has yet to respond, and tensions remain high as Netanyahu had earlier approved plans to seize Gaza City. Protests have erupted in Israel, and Gaza residents continue to flee in fear of a renewed offensive. Is this ceasefire a path to lasting peace or a temporary pause in a volatile war? Watch the full update to understand the stakes.

Bishara Bahbah, a key figure in former President Trump’s Gaza negotiating team, has resigned, accusing the U.S. and Israel of sabotaging near-successful ceasefire talks with Hamas. Bahbah claims negotiators in Qatar were ordered home by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff just as Hamas was close to accepting deal terms. He blames Prime Minister Netanyahu’s hardline Gaza takeover plan for collapsing peace efforts. A former “Arab Americans for Trump” leader, Bahbah vows to continue independent mediation as Israel advances toward full control of Gaza.

Egypt is reinforcing its border with Gaza, deploying 40,000 troops, tanks, and air defense systems to block fleeing Palestinians amid Israel’s escalating assault. Officials fear over a million Gazans may attempt to cross into Sinai if Israel takes Gaza City, sparking chaos and a humanitarian disaster. While Cairo insists it rejects any forced displacement as a red line, IDF claims coordination with Egypt raise suspicions of complicity. Critics say Egypt is working hand-in-glove with Israel to keep Gazans trapped.

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has accused Israel of committing atrocities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as part of a wider “Greater Israel” expansion plan. In a fiery televised speech from Sana’a, he claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision is rooted in distorted religious ideology aimed at dominating the Muslim world. Al-Houthi cited the 1969 Al-Aqsa Mosque arson attack, warning that Israel seeks to destroy the holy site and replace it with a third Jewish temple. He also condemned Egypt’s gas deal with Israel and criticized Arab regimes for supporting the disarmament of Hamas and Hezbollah. Branding Zionism a threat to global society, the Ansarullah leader urged Muslim nations to resist what he described as the “crime of the century” against Palestinians. He reaffirmed Yemen’s military operations in solidarity with Gaza, vowing that ships violating the Red Sea embargo will be targeted.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South.
