Hamas Exposes Flaws In Pro-Israel Trump-Led Witkoff Ceasefire Deal; Demands Full IDF Exit From Gaza

Hamas has rejected the US-brokered ceasefire plan led by Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, calling it biased and lacking in substance. Senior Hamas official Jihad Taha said the proposal fails to address key Palestinian demands, including a full Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza and binding guarantees to end hostilities. While reports suggest preliminary progress during talks in Doha, Hamas remains deeply skeptical, warning of a worsening humanitarian crisis unless the international community intervenes urgently. #IsraelHamasWar #GazaCeasefire #HamasIsraelDeal #TrumpPeacePlan #SteveWitkoff #MiddleEastConflict #IDFWithdrawal #CeasefireNow #GazaUnderAttack #IsraelGazaWar #USMediation #HamasDemands #TrumpEnvoy #WitkoffProposal #GazaCrisis2025 Also Read Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~PR.152~

Is Vivek Ramaswamy Replacing Elon Musk At Doge? Who Are the Front runners for DOGE'S Top Position?

Elon Musk has stepped down from Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), sparking intense speculation over who will succeed him. The frontrunner appears to be Indian-origin entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who was initially appointed to co-run Doge before exiting to pursue gubernatorial ambitions. Other contenders include Amy Gleason, Tom Krause, and even a 23-year-old former intern. As Doge reels from Musk’s controversial reforms and job cuts, Trump remains tight-lipped, while questions swirl about the agency’s future and who will lead its radical mission next. #VivekRamaswamy #ElonMusk #DOGE #TrumpAdministration #WhiteHouse #MuskExit #GovernmentEfficiency #Layoffs #DogeNews #BreakingNews #USPolitics #MuskResigns #FutureOfDoge #VivekAtDoge #Trump2025 #BureaucracyReform #DogeLeadership #USGovernment #RamaswamyComeback #TechInPolitics
