Hamas has firmly rejected media reports claiming it has agreed to surrender its weapons under US President Donald Trump's Gaza ceasefire plan, calling them “baseless.”

US President Donald Trump welcomed Hamas’s positive response to a peace proposal for Gaza and called on Israel to “immediately stop bombing Gaza,” while Israel has continued its deadly bombardment of Gaza, killing at least 20 more Palestinians since dawn.

Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman says the ball is now in Israel’s court regarding Gaza ceasefire talks, voicing concern that the regime seems unwilling to respond to a truce and captive release proposal already accepted by Hamas over a week ago.

Mediators were awaiting a response from the Israeli regime on Tuesday to a fresh Gaza ceasefire plan.

A senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader says surrender and humiliation have no place in the lexicon of resistance groups.

Indirect talks between Israel and Hamas over a ceasefire deal in Gaza have resumed in the Qatari capital, Doha, for a third day, after US President Donald Trump voiced optimism about reaching a deal.

Ahead of the forthcoming Egyptian-mediated ceasefire negotiations, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has emphasized the necessity of a comprehensive agreement with the Israeli regime, ensuring the termination of the genocidal war in the besieged Gaza Strip.
