Hamas Delivers Truce Reply

Palestinian media extensively tracked the evolving ceasefire negotiations for Gaza, culminating in Hamas's positive response by evening. Early in the day, reports detailed Hamas's consultations on the proposed 60-day truce, including prisoner exchange ratios and the contentious demand for the war's end, a key point from previous days' discussions. Throughout the afternoon, anticipation built around Hamas's official stance, with sources highlighting President Trump's expectation of a response within 24 hours. As the day concluded, Hamas formally delivered its positive reply to mediators, signaling readiness for immediate negotiations on implementation, albeit with reported minor amendments. Simultaneously, coverage maintained focus on the severe human cost of ongoing Israeli operations, consistently framing them as "genocide" with relentless massacres, widespread starvation, and escalating casualties from resistance actions against Israeli forces across Gaza.
