  2. KYIV POST:
    US, Iran Agree Deal Framework, Awaiting Trump Approval: US Sources

    US and Iranian negotiators agreed on a framework to extend a 60-day ceasefire and launch nuclear talks, pending Donald Trump’s approval. The deal would ease shipping restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz and address uranium stockpiles, though tensions and mutual truce violations persist.

  3. Though some countries have signaled a willingness to contribute to the security force, there is no clear timeline for its deployment. And in the absence of progress on the #ceasefire agreement, #Israel has gradually seized more of #Gaza, entrenching its hold on the devastated territory.

  4. #Hamas has also refused to disarm or decommission its weaponry, Mladenov said, a key element of the #ceasefire plan upon which much of the future of #Gaza rests. Israeli forces are supposed to gradually withdraw from occupied territory in Gaza after Hamas disarms & when an international security force secures parts of the enclave.

  5. Earlier this month, #Israel assassinated Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the leader of #Hamas’ military wing. Eleven days later, Israel assassinated his successor in a subsequent strike.

    “We vowed to eliminate everyone who led the October 7 massacre, & that is what will be done: They are all condemned to death everywhere,” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Thursday on social media.

  6. Mladenov acknowledged a reality on the ground in #Gaza in which “civilians are still being killed” & “families live in fear” of Israeli airstrikes.

    #Israel has repeatedly carried out strikes in Gaza since the “#ceasefire”, accusing #Hamas of violating it by rearming & rebuilding its forces. Those strikes have killed >850 people in Gaza since the ceasefire began….

  7. On Tuesday, #Hamas accused #Israel of moving the line, saying this “constitutes an explicit & ongoing undermining of the #ceasefire agreement, a serious violation of its provisions, & an exposed attempt to impose new facts on the ground by force, with the aim of entrenching military control over the [#Gaza] Strip & undermining any real chance of stabilizing the situation or making de-escalation efforts succeed.”

  15. It seems to me the task assigned to Trump by Nethanyahu is to muddy the water enough to ensure other ME countries don't attack Israel during its expansion manoeuvres.

    Forse il compito assegnato a Trump da Nethanyahu è di creare sufficiente confusione in Medio Oriente che altri paesi dell'area non attaccano Israele durante le operazioni di espansionismo.
