Ready for a shocking update from Doha? Top Hamas leaders have been ordered by Qatari mediators to personally surrender their weapons! Yes, you read that right – the weapons they hold as symbols of power and resistance are now to be laid down. This is part of the US efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and finally end the bloody war in the Gaza Strip.
Among those ordered are members of the political bureau, including the founder of Hamas’ military wing on the West Bank, Zaher Jabarin, and Mohamed Ismail Darwish, who have held meetings this year with leaders from Iran and Turkey, participating in indirect talks with Israel. Is this a sign that Hamas is buckling under pressure, or a clever diplomatic maneuver?
Meanwhile, a Saudi official hinted that Hamas is expected to respond to the framework agreement by Friday. In Gaza, tribute was paid to hospital director Marwan Sultan and eight members of his family, killed in an Israeli strike just 24 hours earlier. Since the conflict began, according to the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health, 1 medical workers have been killed – a grim statistic showing the war’s toll.
The Israeli military is investigating reports of civilian casualties near Gaza City, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists Hamas must be destroyed to end the conflict and all hostages freed. US President Donald Trump announced the possibility of a temporary ceasefire as early as next week, coinciding with a planned meeting with Netanyahu at the White House.
According to the New York Times, the proposed deal includes the release of the remaining ten live hostages, the return of 18 bodies, and the exchange of Palestinian prisoners, to be carried out in five phases over 60 days. However, Israeli negotiators have not yet been sent to Doha or Cairo, indicating talks are still in early stages.
But wait, there’s more! Another source reveals a 60-day ceasefire proposal supported by the US, which envisions gradual hostage releases and Israeli troop withdrawals from parts of Gaza. The plan includes returning 10 hostages along with 18 bodies in several stages, without ceremonies, and exchanging information on remaining detainees. Aid will immediately flow into Gaza, and talks on a permanent ceasefire and security arrangements will begin as soon as the agreement starts.
This plan guarantees US President Donald Trump’s commitment and foresees that if negotiations succeed, the conflict could be permanently ended. Mediators from the US, Qatar, and Egypt promise serious talks and the ceasefire period may be extended if needed.
So, what’s really going on? Is Hamas finally ready to lay down arms and end this bloody conflict? Or is this just another round of diplomatic theater keeping us on edge while the world spins? One thing’s for sure – the situation is tense, and the world watches anxiously.
