La aproape doi ani de la izbucnirea războiului, Hamas rămâne o structură fragilă, presată de ofensiva militară israeliană și slăbită considerabil din punct de vedere operațional.

Israel is causing undeniable carnage in Gaza, and Hamas has committed horrendous atrocities against Israel. But many Israelis are saving their harshest judgement for their own leaders, and it's time to address how deep their sense of betrayal runs

By fostering Hamas as a competitor to the Palestinian Authority, Israel has created an anomaly in Gaza that exists in no other Middle Eastern country. Now that Israel rejects any alternative Palestinian government, it will be forced to step into Hamas' shoes and become the direct and sole occupier of Gaza

Religious Zionism MK Rothman says any action Israel is taking in Gaza aimed at advancing a hostage deal undermines the war's objectives. 'Creating the conditions for a deal means keeping Hamas alive'

'We have to put an end to this madness,' said the brother of Evyatar David, an Israeli hostage seen emaciated in a Hamas video. 'Imagine not knowing where your child is for five minutes at the mall – now multiply that by 667 days,' he said of his parents' struggle

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated that civilians in Gaza should not continue to suffer due to the crimes committed by Hamas.

Salem al-Atrash, whose brother was killed and his body taken by Hamas on October 7, calls for retrieving all the bodies for burial, but says that the living hostages must come home first. 'The children still don't believe they don't have a father. He had a month-old girl when he was killed, and she won't know him'

Eli David, brother of hostage Evyatar, whose video was just published by Hamas, said the images of his emaciated brother 'broke' their father, comparing it to images from the Holocaust

While Netanyahu signals openness to a comprehensive deal with Hamas – it's unclear he's willing to pay the price. Hamas seeks an end to the war – but on its own terms ■ IDF chief Zamir may step down if no cease-fire is reached

Familia lui Evyatar David, tânăr israelian ținut ostatic de Hamas în Gaza, acuză mișcarea palestiniană de o propagandă „cruză” și „ticăloasă”, după ce un nou videoclip cu acesta a fost publicat sâmbătă.

'I haven't eaten for days': The family of Evyatar David, who appears emaciated in two videos released by Hamas over the weekend, called on Israel, the international community and aid organizations to ensure that David 'immediately receives proper nutrition'

Regelmatig geeft NU.nl je een overzicht van de ontwikkelingen in de oorlog tussen Israël en Hamas. Met deze keer: Hamas heeft propagandabeelden gedeeld van een uitgemergelde Israëlische gijzelaar. Israël ontkent dat het Gaza uithongert en zet de strijd "onverminderd" door.

Amid footage of starving Israeli hostages published by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, hundreds joined families demanding that the Netanyahu government end the war and reach a deal to release the remaining hostages. The mother of hostage Matan Angrest said a Trump official blamed proposals for partial deals on Israeli politics

Hamas heeft een video van een minuut lang vrijgegeven waarin een Israëlische gijzelaar te zien is die in de door Israël afgegrendelde Gazastrook wordt vastgehouden. Hij ziet er zwak en ondervoed uit. Hij bevindt zich in een smalle betonnen tunnel.

This marks the second video Hamas has released of Evyatar David, who has been held in captivity in Gaza for 665 days. The family has not yet cleared the most recent video for publication

Officials also cite concerns over rescue operations of Israeli hostages held in Gaza as Hamas delegation heads to Turkey for indirect cease-fire talks

Britain on Wednesday rejected criticism that it was rewarding fighter group Hamas by setting out plans to recognise a Palestinian state unless Israel took steps to improve the situation in Gaza and bring about peace. The sight of emaciated Gaza children has shocked the world in recent days, and on Tuesday, a hunger monitor warned that a worst-case scenario of famine was unfolding there and immediate action was needed to avoid widespread death. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s ultimatum, setting a September deadline for Israel, prompted an immediate rebuke from his counterpart in Jerusalem, who said it rewarded Hamas and punished the victims of their 2023 cross-border attack. US President Donald Trump said he did not think Hamas “should be rewarded” with recognition of Palestinian independence. Asked about that criticism, British Transport Minister Heidi Alexander — designated by the government to respond to questions in a series of media interviews on Wednesday — said it was not the right way to characterise Bri...

UNITED NATIONS: Arab countries including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Egypt joined calls on Tuesday for Hamas to disarm and end its rule of Gaza, in a bid to end the devastating war in the Palestinian territory. Seventeen countries plus the European Union and Arab League threw their weight behind a seven-page text agreed at a United Nations conference on reviving the two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians. “In the context of ending the war in Gaza, Hamas must end its rule in Gaza and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority, with international enga­gement and support, in line with the objective of a sovereign and independent Pales­tinian State,” said the declaration. It followed a call on Monday by the Palestinian delegation at the United Nations for both Israel and Hamas to leave Gaza, allowing the Palestinian Authority to administer the coastal territory. The text also condemned the Hamas raid against Israel of Oct 7, 2023. France, which co-chaired the conference with Saudi Arabia, called t...

De Israëlische premier Benjamin Netanyahu heeft in een verklaring gereageerd op de aankondiging van zijn Britse ambtgenoot Keir Starmer om Palestina als staat te erkennen als de Israëlische regering de hulpverlening aan de Palestijnen in de Gazastrook niet verbetert. Starmer beloont daarmee het „monsterlijke terrorisme van Hamas en straft de slachtoffers”, aldus Netanyahu. Volg alle ontwikkelingen over het Midden-Oosten in ons liveblog.

British Jewish groups criticize Starmer's push for Palestinian state recognition, arguing it emboldens extremism and rewards Hamas terror, especially while hostages remain in captivity.
