White House envoy Steve Witkoff has denied Hamas' claim that it accepted a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal.
Speaking to Axios, Witkoff clarified that only Israel has agreed to the current terms, and urged Hamas to accept the proposal that remains on the table.
Earlier, a Palestinian source close to Hamas had claimed the group agreed to release hostages for a 70-day truce.
The contradiction casts doubt on progress toward ending the conflict, raising concerns of further delays in reaching a ceasefire.

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.

Israel’s military is grappling with a severe troop crisis, with up to 12,000 soldiers missing from the ranks amid exhaustion, trauma, and refusals to serve in Gaza. Commanders admitted to a 7,500-soldier shortfall, with plans to recruit Jews from abroad and even African asylum seekers. Haredi draft exemptions have collapsed, sparking religious backlash. Reports reveal rising suicides, hidden burials, and censorship to mask the toll. As Hamas vows “more funerals,” Netanyahu scrambles to plug the gaps, even turning to U.S. and French recruits.

A latest Gaza ceasefire proposal approved by Hamas is "almost identical" to that put forward by US special envoy Steve Witkoff, a spokesperson for Qatar's.. Sky News
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.

Ukraine could soon receive NATO-like security guarantees as Zelensky visits Washington with top EU leaders. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claims Russia has for the first time conceded to allowing America to provide “Article 5-style protections” to Ukraine—a breakthrough in negotiations. The proposed deal would shield Ukraine militarily without full NATO membership, avoiding Russia’s objections. While Zelensky calls the guarantees historic, disputes remain over territory. EU leaders back the plan, warning against any peace deal that forces Ukraine to cede land.

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.

Tel Aviv witnessed powerful scenes as families of Israeli hostages and victims of the October 7 attack addressed a press conference, calling for urgent action to secure a Gaza truce deal and the safe return of captives. Their emotional plea came after nationwide protests demanding accountability and a stronger government response. Lishay Miran-Lavi, wife of hostage Omri Miran, declared, “This day is just the beginning. We draw strength from the public's support and intend to escalate and intensify the struggle from here until all the hostages are home.” Demonstrations across Israel highlighted growing frustration with leadership, as calls for early elections and nationwide strikes gather momentum. Families vowed to continue mobilizing public pressure until every hostage is released, intensifying one of Israel’s most volatile domestic movements in years.

In a shocking revelation, Israel has reportedly requested the United States' assistance to push forward a “relocation” plan for Gaza’s civilian population, according to Axios. Mossad chief David Barnea visited Washington and allegedly asked U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff to persuade countries like Ethiopia, Libya, and Indonesia to absorb “hundreds of thousands” of Gazans. The controversial plan appears to align with Tel Aviv’s long-standing siege and military campaign against the coastal enclave, which intensified drastically since October 2023.
The Israeli regime’s ongoing war, supported by unprecedented U.S. military and political aid, has drawn accusations of genocide and population cleansing. Meanwhile, despite Israeli claims of military victories, Hamas continues to resist fiercely with deep-rooted support from the people. The latest report underscores an alarming strategy for population displacement — one that is likely to ignite intense international outrage if confirmed. Is the world witnessing an engineered ethnic cleansing plan unfold?
