Hamas

The United States received intelligence indicating that Hamas is buying time and may use several tactics to avoid surrendering its weapons. Jared Kushner warned Khalil al-Hayya in a meeting: "If the process stops, we will not restrain Israel."

Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of a Hamas founder, took the stage to explain exactly what lies behind the term “Palestine” (“Its lifespan was 25 years”). His answer left the audience speechless.

The IDF and Shin Bet say intelligence indicates that Hamas operates interrogation centers at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. According to the information, the group also uses the complex for torture, collecting money, and government activity.

The IDF said it struck Hamas commanders at two locations in Gaza, including a terrorist who entered Israel during the October 7 massacre. Meanwhile, Palestinian reports said people were killed in strikes in Gaza City and Nuseirat.

IDF forces sealed two Hamas underground routes east of the Yellow Line in the Gaza Strip, as part of the ongoing effort to neutralize terrorist organizations’ tunnel infrastructure in the enclave.

The IDF said terrorists fired toward the Yellow Line area in the Gaza Strip and also detonated an explosive device. No injuries were reported. The IDF struck several targets in the area in response.

Jared Kushner, envoy for U.S. President Donald Trump, met with Hamas leaders in Cairo. Also attending were Gaza Peace Board chair Nikolay Mladenov and representatives from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey.

According to a Saudi report, Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, is expected to meet with Hamas representatives alongside mediators in an effort to prevent the Gaza agreement from collapsing.

Nikolay Mladenov, CEO of the Gaza Peace Council, issued his first statement in Hebrew, firmly denying any financial agreement with Hamas. He also confirmed that a mechanism to review violations of the Gaza agreement is already up and running.

The 15-point agreement includes a commitment to pay up to $400 million in debts to suppliers, contractors, and public employees. The Peace Council says every claim will be reviewed and that debts tied to terrorism or corruption will not be covered.

The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Ella Waweya, issued a warning to Gaza Strip residents about what it described as an economic scam by Hamas. According to the statement, old banknotes are expected to lose their value while the terrorist organization tries to unload them and shift the losses onto Gaza’s residents.

Qatar is reportedly tightening its stance toward Hamas leadership after Khalil al-Hayya’s selection. At the same time, the organization is preparing to move its covert operational hubs to Turkey, while its leadership remains in Doha.

Amid international pressure, the IDF has tightened its approval process for strikes in Gaza. At the same time, political tensions are growing over the next stage of the ceasefire deal and the proposed deployment of an international stabilization force.

A Hamas spokesman claimed in an interview that the organization “never commits crimes against civilians.” Piers Morgan repeatedly interrupted him, citing the October 7 attack and the war crimes committed by the terrorist organization.

The IDF says it killed a Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist who infiltrated Israeli communities on October 7, helped hold Rom Braslavski captive, and took part in multiple hostage handover ceremonies.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office sent a message to the White House regarding the agreement reached with Hamas. Israel stressed: "Our assessment is that if we redeploy before Hamas is genuinely disarmed, they will rebuild their terrorist infrastructure."

The IDF said it killed several operatives in strikes across Gaza, including Alaa Imad Khamis Taramsi, a member of the Army of Islam terror group. The group was previously involved in the kidnapping of Gilad Shalit. Palestinians reported 14 people killed across the Strip since the morning hours.

The IDF killed two Hamas operatives, including a Hamas Nukhba cell commander who took part in the Oct. 7 attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz. A large-scale operation in Samaria included arrests, questioning and extensive searches.

As a Hamas delegation meets with local officials in Egypt, reports say the terrorist organization is considering approving a plan for the complete dismantling of its weapons and tunnel network. The key condition: the weapons would be transferred to Palestinian entities, not Israel.

Board of Peace demands complete disarmament, while Hamas-linked reports describe a narrower weapons arrangement and leave enforcement unresolved
