‘Disarmament Is Not…’ Hamas Refuses To Disarm Without Palestinian State | Hostage Crisis EXPLODES
Tensions in the Middle East escalated as Hamas declared it will not disarm unless a fully sovereign Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital.
This declaration came after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Hamas showed willingness to lay down arms—an assertion Hamas quickly rejected.
Israel, meanwhile, maintains disarmament as a non-negotiable precondition for any ceasefire deal.
As ceasefire negotiations stall, pressure builds from Western and Arab nations urging Hamas to give up arms. Meanwhile, a shocking video of Israeli hostage Evyatar David emaciated in captivity triggered a fresh wave of outrage.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with UN agencies reporting hundreds killed while seeking aid.
U.S. envoy Witkoff, currently in Israel, has met with hostage families and criticized partial peace plans.
With over 60,000 deaths in Gaza and starvation rising, global calls intensify for an urgent resolution to end the bloodshed.
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.

In an unprecedented show of global consensus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel, Pakistan, and Cambodia have all backed U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Armenia’s Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s Ilham Aliyev jointly credited Trump for brokering a landmark peace deal ending decades of conflict in the South Caucasus, calling him a “peacemaker.” The agreement includes a U.S.-controlled transit corridor — the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” — linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave through Armenia.
Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistan’s government, and Cambodia’s Hun Manet also nominated Trump, citing his role in defusing conflicts from the Middle East to South Asia. The White House hailed the deal as a setback for China, Russia, and Iran. With multiple nations — some rivals — rallying behind him, Trump’s Nobel push has become one of the most talked-about diplomatic developments of the year.

In a fiery address, Trump pushed for wider adoption of the Abraham Accords, warning regional powers that the time for neutrality is over.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says devastating images from Gaza highlight the urgent need for a ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and a long-term plan for peace in the Middle East.

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 — just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports — and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow.
Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trump’s unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is “pretty good at avoiding them.” A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake.

Intense clashes erupt in the Gaza envelope as the IDF and Al-Quds Brigades engage in heavy fighting.

Hamas’ Al-Quds Brigades fired Quds-3 rockets at Israeli positions near the Nir Am settlement in the Gaza envelope, claiming the strike was retaliation for Minister Ben Gvir’s controversial actions at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. New combat visuals show fighters preparing and launching the rockets from infiltration axes inside Gaza. The militants say the attack targeted Israeli troops before, during, and after the Gideon’s Chariots operation. As Israel pushes deeper into Gaza under Netanyahu’s new control plan, Hamas-aligned groups intensify guerrilla strikes on IDF forces and armored units.

Tensions boil over in Jerusalem as hundreds of Israelis take to the streets, demanding an immediate end to the Gaza war. Hostage families warn Prime Minister Netanyahu that his plan for a full military takeover of Gaza City could doom their loved ones still held by Hamas. Israel’s top military chief publicly opposes escalating the offensive, citing risks to hostages and widespread destruction. With Gaza in ruins, millions displaced, and new polls showing most Israelis favor a hostage deal over continued fighting, the pressure is on. Hear powerful voices from the protests, including a student, historian, and museologist, who call for peace and accountability. Will Netanyahu’s gamble cost Israel its soul?

Israel is furious. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has condemned the recent moves by the UK, France, and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state — calling it a “pure prize for terror” and a “gift to Hamas.” Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Saar slammed the announcements as “immoral” and “politically foolish,” warning that these decisions reward the very actors responsible for ongoing violence.
The statement comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza — but Israel argues that such recognition sends the wrong message and emboldens terrorism. As September’s U.N. General Assembly approaches, global divisions over the Israel-Palestine war are reaching a boiling point.

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law.
Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations.
