The Hebrew broadcasting authority stated that the United States, Qatar, and Egypt will present a new proposal this week to reach an agreement between the occupying state and Hamas, which includes the release of all prisoners, the end of the war, and the formation of a government in Gaza.

According to the authority, it is likely that Ron Dermer, the head of the negotiating team and a close associate of Netanyahu, will arrive in the United States this week to consult with senior officials in the Trump administration, coinciding with the arrival of a Hamas delegation in Cairo, where it renewed its commitment in a statement on Saturday evening to the agreement of August 18 with the Palestinian factions regarding the mediators' proposal for a ceasefire.

Hamas stated that it is open to any idea or proposal that would achieve a comprehensive ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of the occupying forces from the Gaza Strip, unconditional entry of humanitarian aid, and a prisoner exchange through serious negotiations via mediators.

At the same time, Israeli journalist Amit Segal revealed in a report published by "Israel Hayom" about the formulation of a new "secret" political plan regarding Gaza, being prepared in American-Israeli coordination, which differs from previous proposals that were limited to the option of a temporary deal or complete occupation of the territory.

Segal said that "the plan aims to link the ongoing military resolution in Gaza with a broader political track involving moderate Sunni Arab countries, hoping that this will lead to the end of the war through a comprehensive settlement."

He added that the occupying army "is preparing for a different phase than previous rounds of fighting, after military documents revealed a disregard for international deadlines."

He continued that "the idea resembles the Apple model where the product is designed in one place and packaged in another, meaning that ideas are born in Tel Aviv while marketed in Washington."

According to the newspaper, "Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer is leading the coordination between Washington and Abu Dhabi in an attempt to formulate a political vision for post-war Gaza."

The newspaper mentioned that this approach indicates a new path that integrates military operations with international political steps, aiming to end the battle and reach a settlement.

For his part, Israeli journalist and analyst on Channel 12, Barak Ravid, stated that White House envoy Steve Witkoff conveyed messages to Hamas through peace activist Gershon Baskin regarding a comprehensive deal for the release of all prisoners, both alive and deceased, noting that the latter communicated with Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad, who was also in contact with him when he helped relay messages in the negotiations for the release of Gilad Shalit over a decade ago.

The proposal conveyed by Witkoff to Hamas through Baskin included several general principles, in addition to the release of all prisoners in exchange for ending the war.

The Israeli i24 channel revealed the main points included in the new proposal, which include Hamas relinquishing its heavy weapons, such as tunnels and rockets, to be subject to Egyptian oversight, stopping the recruitment of new fighters, halting the development of military capabilities, and handing over full governance of Gaza to security.

The Israeli Foreign Minister, Gideon Sa'ar, confirmed that the war in the Gaza Strip could end by tomorrow if the hostages are released and Hamas relinquishes its weapons, emphasizing that achieving peace with the Palestinians can only be done through bilateral understandings.

Sa'ar explained that recognition of the State of Palestine by other countries does not necessarily bring closer the achievement of peace, pointing out that some European countries are making a "grave mistake" by attempting to recognize Palestine without bilateral understandings.

The minister noted that anti-Semitism is increasing in Europe, with a double standard in dealing with the situation in the Gaza Strip.

The Hamas movement stated on Saturday that the Israeli army's destruction of a new residential tower in Gaza City represents "a clear continuation of committing the crime of forced displacement and ethnic cleansing."

Hamas added in a statement: "Targeting residential towers crowded with displaced people, women, and children, under the pretext of their use by the resistance, are exposed lies and flimsy excuses, representing a disregard for the international community and covering up complete war crimes that amount to genocide."

The movement continued that this is "an attempt to uproot the population from their city, under the weight of massacres and the destruction of all means of life."

Gaza 6-9-2025 Wafa - Medical sources announced today, Saturday, the death of 48 citizens due to the ongoing fire and airstrikes of the Israeli occupation on the Gaza Strip since dawn today.

The sources mentioned that 14 dead were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital, 8 dead to Sheikh Radwan Clinic, 5 dead to the Arab "Baptist" Hospital, 6 dead to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, and 15 dead to Nasser Hospital.

The Egyptian Foreign Minister, Badr Abdel Atti, confirmed that the famine in the Gaza Strip is complete and a result of human actions and the Israeli occupation, emphasizing his firm rejection of the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.

During a joint press conference with the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, Abdel Atti stressed that any attempts targeting "UNRWA" are unacceptable, and that any alternative mechanisms have failed miserably.

Abdel Atti affirmed that the Rafah crossing "will not be a passage for the displacement of the Palestinian people from their lands," emphasizing that the issue of displacement is a "red line" for Egypt and is unacceptable under any name.

The Israeli occupation army has escalated its genocide campaign in recent days, preparing for its ground forces to enter the city of Gaza, as part of what has been dubbed "Gideon's Chariots 2." This escalation involved the destruction of several residential towers, claiming that the resistance had established observation points and command centers within them.

Channel 12 reported that "by destroying the high-rise buildings, the Israeli army is trying to convince the residents of Gaza to leave the city, before increasing the pace of operations next week and ramping up airstrikes."

It clarified that "the biggest challenge facing the Israeli army is evacuating the residents. Estimates suggest that even if it succeeds in evacuating 60 to 70 percent of the city's population, more than 300,000 people will remain, making it difficult for the forces to continue fighting, while at the same time, international pressure will increase."

It mentioned that "Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir held talks with leaders and fighters in recent days in preparation for the ground operation and entry into the city of Gaza, clarifying the objective of the operation and its importance, and that the operational plan devised by the army aligns with its principles, the most important of which is to avoid endangering the lives of hostages (Israeli captives) and ensuring the safety of our forces."

It confirmed that "in recent days, U.S. President Donald Trump sent a message to Israel indicating that he expects the operation to be swift and effective. It is clear that this action will not be quick to ensure that the lives of the hostages are not endangered."

Zamir explained that the Israeli army seeks to make a decision, and that Hamas does not have true sovereignty, but is besieged.

At the same time, Zamir clarified to the families of the captives: "I will carry out the operation myself and under my responsibility - towards both the fighters and the hostages. I believe in the operational plan. The people of Israel will know what I say, and I will continue to express my professional opinion. The hostages are always in my sight, and I act with the utmost responsibility."

In parallel with the occupation army's preparations for the "ground operation" in the city of Gaza, talks are taking place behind the scenes in an attempt to reach an agreement.

Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the expansion of the operation in the city of Gaza, preparing for its occupation. He stated in a post on the platform "X" (formerly Twitter): "Now, the screws have been lifted from the gates of hell in Gaza."

Later, after the destruction of the Susi Tower in the city, he said: "We have begun."

The channel previously reported that security sources informed the families of the captives that the Chief of Staff reviewed the Cabinet's decision to occupy the city of Gaza and decided to implement it despite his recommendation against it, after he saw that it was not clearly illegal.

Additionally, a spokesperson for the Israeli occupation army informed the media at noon that many buildings will be attacked in the coming days that "have been turned into terrorist infrastructure in preparation for the operation in the city of Gaza, including cameras, observation points, sniper and anti-tank launch sites, and command and control complexes."

Israeli media addressed the repercussions of the escalation of military operations in Gaza City, warning that the move towards imposing military rule on the sector could constitute a 'long-term disaster', while families of the captives expressed concern that the continuation of operations threatens the lives of their children held by the Palestinian resistance.

The military affairs correspondent for Channel 13, Or Heller, stated that the Israeli Air Force is preparing for a large-scale strike targeting Gaza City in the coming days, explaining that the army has already begun the second phase of Operation 'Gideon's Chariots' through intensive bombing of multi-story buildings used by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).

In the same context, the military affairs correspondent for Channel 12, Nir Dvori, confirmed that the upcoming week will witness an escalation in military operations within the sector, while military affairs analyst for Channel 14, Noam Amir, indicated that the pace of airstrikes will increase in the coming days at an unprecedented rate.

While the Israeli army continues its operations, Or Heller noted that imposing military rule in Gaza could take many months due to the complexities of the battlefield and the difficulty of evacuating civilians, explaining that attempts to empty the city have not achieved the desired success so far.

The wife of one of the Israeli captives in Gaza, Lishi Miran Libiani, spoke about families of the abductees receiving calls from official sources indicating that the government is paving the way for 'Operation Kill the Hostages 2', emphasizing that these are not just fears, but a 'real cry' coming from high-level sources.

Rabbi Hanan Danio, father of one of the soldiers whose bodies were returned from Gaza, accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of lacking empathy, stating that he exploits the issue of the captives to remain in power, and that 'he is a heartless person who thinks he alone is the savior of Israel.'

From the south, 'i24' channel correspondent Arnold Natyef reported that several captives were transferred to Gaza City amid concerns from their families for their lives, while journalist Maya Aiden noted that the release of a new video of the captives coincided with the war entering its 700th day and with the expansion of military operations within the city.

On the legal front, criminal law expert Ofer Bartel warned that the process of destroying a city with a population of one million above and below ground will take many months if the army wants to preserve the lives of its soldiers, stressing that military rule in Gaza is a 'disaster' because it makes the occupation legally responsible for all the residents.

In his analysis, Arab affairs analyst at 'Yedioth Ahronoth' newspaper, Ami Ischarov, considered that the experience of occupation in the Gaza Strip has proven its failure to defeat Hamas, asserting that repeating the same operations will not lead to a different outcome, and that those who expect to break the movement through these means 'are deceiving themselves with illusions.'

Additionally, Channel 12 highlighted a poll revealing a division among Israelis regarding the proposed options, as 47% supported reaching a deal, even a partial one, leading to a halt of military operations, while 39% supported continuing the occupation of Gaza City without an agreement.

With the completion of the 700th day of the genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement perpetrated by the Israeli occupation against the Gaza Strip, the government media office in the sector issued a comprehensive update reflecting the scale of the humanitarian disaster and the total destruction that has affected all aspects of life.

The report reveals shocking numbers regarding the martyrs, the injured, and the displaced, in addition to material losses and infrastructure damage, forming a complete picture of the suffering of more than 2.4 million Palestinians living under continuous bombardment, siege, and starvation for over two years, amid a deafening international silence.

According to the latest statistical update, more than 2.4 million people in the Gaza Strip have faced genocide, starvation, and ethnic cleansing for 700 consecutive days. The occupation has destroyed nearly 90% of the sector almost completely, while initial direct losses have been estimated at over 68 billion dollars.

The Israeli forces control more than 80% of the area of the sector, after dropping more than 150,000 tons of explosives, including 109 strikes targeting areas presumed to be "safe," such as the Al-Mawasi area.

The total number of martyrs and missing persons has reached 73,731, including 64,300 who have reached hospitals, while 9,500 remain under the rubble or missing.

Among the victims are more than 20,000 children and 12,500 women, including 8,990 mothers and 22,404 fathers, in addition to more than 1,000 infants, of whom 450 were born during the war and later martyred.

Additionally, 1,670 medical personnel, 139 civil defense members, 248 journalists, 173 municipal employees, 780 aid security police officers, and 860 sports workers have been martyred.

The occupation has committed massacres against 39,000 families, of which 2,700 were completely annihilated with 8,563 martyrs, while only one family out of six thousand survived.

The data indicates that more than 55% of the martyrs are children, women, and the elderly, while 376 people died due to starvation, and 23 others in incidents of aid being dropped from the air.

The number of injured has reached 162,505, including 19,000 in need of long-term rehabilitation, and more than 4,800 cases of amputation, 18% of whom are children.

There have also been 1,200 cases of paralysis and 1,200 cases of vision loss recorded. The occupation has arrested 6,691 civilians, including 362 medical personnel, 48 journalists, and 26 civil defense members.

The bombardment and siege have led to an increase in the number of widows to 21,182 and orphans to 56,320, while more than 2.1 million people have contracted various infectious diseases, including 71,338 with hepatitis.

The occupation has targeted 38 hospitals and 96 healthcare centers either completely or partially, along with 197 ambulances and 61 civil defense vehicles, within 788 attacks on healthcare services.

95% of the schools in the sector have been damaged, and more than 90% of their buildings need reconstruction or rehabilitation, as 662 schools and educational institutions have been directly bombed, and 163 colleges and schools have been completely destroyed.

More than 13,500 students have been martyred, and 785,000 have been deprived of education, while more than 830 teachers and 193 academics and researchers have been killed.

The occupation has destroyed more than 833 mosques completely and 180 partially, targeted 3 churches, in addition to destroying 40 cemeteries and stealing 2,450 corpses, with 7 mass graves established inside hospitals.

The number of completely destroyed housing units is about 268,000, with 148,000 severely damaged and 153,000 partially damaged. More than two million people have been forcibly displaced, and 288,000 families are homeless, while the occupation has targeted 273 shelters.

The occupation has closed the Gaza crossings for 186 consecutive days, preventing the entry of more than 111,600 aid trucks, targeting 46 food kitchens and 61 distribution centers, resulting in the martyrdom of 67 charity workers.

More than 650,000 children face the risk of dying from hunger, including 40,000 infants, while the sector needs 250,000 cans of milk for children monthly, which are being prevented from entering.

The occupation also prevents the travel of more than 22

The Israeli warplanes bombed the Al-Sousi Tower in western Gaza City on Saturday, as part of its intensified targeting of residential buildings in preparation for occupying the city.

A correspondent reported that the Israeli army bombed the Al-Sousi Tower, which consists of 15 floors and contains more than 60 apartments, leveling it to the ground.

The correspondent noted that the tower targeted by the Israeli army is located on Industry Street, close to a facility belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

Before Israel targeted the tower, eyewitnesses reported the evacuation of the Al-Ruya building and the Al-Sousi Tower in Gaza City after they were threatened with bombing by Israel.

Witnesses confirmed that Palestinian families threw their belongings out of the windows after receiving warnings from the Israeli army demanding them to evacuate the two buildings immediately, in preparation for their bombing.

During their escape, the displaced individuals hurriedly carried what remained of their belongings, such as some essential clothing and scraps of food, while the sounds of crying children and women were heard due to the intensity of the Israeli bombardment.

Witnesses pointed out that a disabled Palestinian was seen hastily moving away with his crutch after being bombed by the Israeli army.

As usual after every targeting of Palestinian civilians, the Israeli army acknowledged in a statement that it bombed the Al-Sousi Tower, claiming that Hamas uses it as a 'command center' for its forces.

Threatening to escalate military action against civilians, the Israeli army concluded its statement by saying: 'The occupation army will continue to operate forcefully and decisively against terrorist organizations in the sector.'

On Friday, the Israeli army destroyed the 'Mushtaha Tower,' a multi-story building in western Gaza City that housed hundreds of Palestinians, located in an area that includes tens of thousands of displaced individuals.

This coincided with the announcement by the Israeli army that it had begun bombing high-rise buildings in Gaza City, claiming they were used by 'Hamas as command and observation centers and for sniping,' which the movement denies.

Human Rights Watch, an international rights organization, stated that since October 2023, Israel has destroyed 88 percent of the infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, including homes, and that most displaced Palestinians have no places to live except for schools and some university buildings.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 64,368 deaths and 162,367 injuries among Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, over 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and a famine that has claimed the lives of 382 Palestinians, including 135 children.

Global newspapers and websites have addressed the repercussions of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, highlighting airstrikes as the main cause of fatalities, at a time when pressures on Tel Aviv are escalating both internally and externally, and Western voices critical of its policies towards Palestinians, whether in the Strip or the West Bank, are increasing.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz clarified that airstrikes remain the primary factor behind the rising death toll in Gaza, despite international warnings about the spread of hunger and the falling of hundreds of victims in front of aid distribution centers, indicating that most of these strikes target civilian facilities without clear justification from the Israeli army.

According to the newspaper, an analysis of field data during the months of war reveals that the ongoing air bombardment remains the largest driver of the tragedy of Palestinians in the Strip, noting that this occurs amid a deliberate disregard for international criticisms and growing concern over the widening humanitarian disaster.

Meanwhile, the Jerusalem Post considered that Israel is heading towards a pivotal phase that may witness a conflict between its internal calculations and external options, with the onset of its attack on the city of Gaza and the increasing European and Arab pressures on it.

The newspaper pointed out that internal discussions are escalating regarding hostages and the situations in Gaza and the West Bank, while several international capitals are moving towards recognizing a Palestinian state, which places the Israeli government in front of decisive decisions that may affect the future of its political and security alliances.

In Washington, The Hill noted unprecedented accusations leveled by two Democratic senators against Israel, accusing it of practicing "ethnic cleansing" against Palestinians in Gaza, a characterization that reflects - according to the report - a new level of condemnation within Congress.

The report also indicated the widening circle of opposition to Israel's behavior among American lawmakers, whether regarding the blockade and bombardment of the Strip or its handling of the situations in the West Bank, reflecting a noticeable shift in American political discourse.

For its part, The Guardian addressed the recent American sanctions against Palestinian human rights organizations, considering that the three targeted groups have played a pivotal role in documenting Israeli violations since the beginning of the war, and that the imposition of sanctions on them came due to their calls for opening international investigations into potential war crimes.

The newspaper mentioned that these organizations have remained among the most prominent human rights entities documenting violations in the Palestinian territories for decades, and that targeting them raises concerns about attempts to undermine independent human rights work in the region.

Regarding the developments in Yemen, The Washington Post warned of a serious deterioration in the health and humanitarian situation, pointing out that the targeting of ports and civilian infrastructure in the country due to attacks carried out by Israel and the United States has led to a paralysis in the flow of external supplies.

The newspaper added that these supplies constitute a lifeline for millions of Yemenis, especially amid reduced international aid and imposed sanctions, exacerbating the suffering of the population and threatening an unprecedented collapse of the humanitarian situation.

The government media office in the Gaza Strip announced on Saturday that the ongoing Israeli genocide for 700 days has resulted in nearly complete destruction, with 90 percent of the infrastructure damaged, and initial losses exceeding 68 billion dollars.

The office stated in a message published on its Telegram channel that "the Israeli occupation continues its genocide, forced displacement, and ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip for the 700th day amid a shameful international complicity and silence."

It added that "this war has resulted in nearly complete destruction, with 90 percent of the infrastructure damaged, and initial losses exceeding 68 billion dollars, with the occupation controlling more than 80 percent of the area of the Strip through military force and forced displacement."

It further stated that "the occupation has committed during this period bloody massacres that led to the martyrdom and loss of 73,731 individuals, including more than 20,000 children and 12,500 women, in addition to the complete extermination of 2,700 families from the civil registry."

The office continued that "the occupation has killed during this period 1,670 medical personnel, 248 journalists, 139 civil defense personnel, and 173 municipal employees, while more than 162,000 others have been injured, including thousands of amputations, paralysis, and loss of sight."

It stated that "the occupation forces are committing a systematic crime of forced displacement against our Palestinian people, especially in the city of Gaza and northern Gaza, by preventing them from returning to their homes and destroying their neighborhoods and vital facilities, in a blatant violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Rome Statute, making it a war crime and a crime against humanity that requires international prosecution."

The government media office indicated that "the occupation has completely destroyed 38 hospitals, 833 mosques, and 163 educational institutions, and has severely damaged thousands of institutions."

It mentioned that "the occupation has imposed a systematic starvation policy through a comprehensive siege against the civilian population and has prevented the entry of hundreds of thousands of food and aid trucks, causing a humanitarian disaster threatening the lives of more than 2.4 million people, including over a million children who are on the brink of death from hunger."

It condemned "in the strongest terms the continuation of this criminal war," holding "the Israeli occupation and its supporting countries, led by the United States, fully responsible for these crimes."

The office called on "Arab and Islamic countries, the international community, and the United Nations to take immediate, serious, and effective action to stop the aggression against our Palestinian people, end the siege, ensure the return of the displaced, and hold the leaders of the occupation accountable before international courts as war criminals."

The Israeli occupation army announced on Saturday the designation of the Mawasi area west of Khan Younis as a "humanitarian area," along with the conversion of the coastal Al-Rasheed Street into a "humanitarian corridor."

This announcement comes as part of efforts to evacuate civilians from the city of Gaza, as the occupation seeks to secure safe passages for civilians amid escalating aggression.

This step is considered part of the military measures taken by the occupation in light of the difficult humanitarian conditions faced by the residents of Gaza.

The Israeli occupation army continued today, Saturday, to demolish residential buildings in the city of Gaza as part of its plan to displace residents and occupy the city, while medical sources documented the martyrdom and injury of Palestinians in new airstrikes.

A correspondent reported that the Israeli army is currently carrying out massive demolition operations on residential buildings in the northern part of the city of Gaza, following the destruction of the Mushtaha Tower in the western part of the city yesterday, Friday.

Meanwhile, the Al-Shifa Medical Complex reported the martyrdom of 5 people, including a girl, while others were injured in an Israeli bombardment on a house in the Al-Shati refugee camp in the western part of the city of Gaza.

Medical sources had documented the martyrdom of 51 Palestinians due to the fire of the occupation army in several areas of the Gaza Strip since dawn on Friday, including 36 in the city of Gaza.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Friday the escalation of the military operation in the Gaza Strip, stating, "Now the gates of hell are opening," which the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) confirmed as an acknowledgment of genocide crimes.

For several weeks, Israel has been destroying entire residential blocks in the city of Gaza and in Jabalia in the northern part of the strip as part of its plan to invade and occupy the city in an operation it named "Gideon's Chariots 2."

Many countries and human rights and humanitarian organizations condemned the operations of the Israeli army, warning of a new bloody escalation and widespread displacement of the residents of the city of Gaza, whose population is nearly one million.

The United Nations stated that thousands of Palestinians have been displaced towards the Gaza coast as killings and famine escalate.

Since October 2023, Israel - with American support - has been waging a genocidal war against the residents of the Gaza Strip, which includes killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring international calls to stop the war and orders from the International Court of Justice in this regard.

The genocide has resulted in more than 64,000 martyrs and 162,000 injured, with 376 Palestinians, including 134 children, dying due to starvation, according to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.

This morning, Saturday, Israeli occupation forces launched a wide-scale arrest campaign in the town of Anata, northeast of Jerusalem, targeting at least 16 citizens.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces stormed the town, conducting extensive searches and sweeps in the streets, raiding dozens of homes, and searching them.

The same sources indicated that the occupation forces turned a house belonging to the 'Ghaith' family into a field interrogation center, and among those arrested were: Yasser Mousa Al-Rifai, Osama Jamil Halwa, Youssef Mohammed Al-Rifai, Malik Sami Al-Rifai, Mohammed Adnan Al-Rifai, Yazeed Ahmed Mahmoud Ibrahim, his brother Mahmoud, Waseem Ahmed Saleh Ibrahim, Amjad Hussein Halwa and his brother Ahmed, and Mahmoud Mohammed Al-Rifai.

The occupation forces also arrested Montaser Ibrahim Al-Yamani and his brother Malik, Ahmed Mohammed Halwa, Eid Ayman Hamdan, and Mousa Mahmoud Ibrahim.

These arrests come in the context of the ongoing policy of the occupation involving night raids, home invasions, detaining residents in field interrogation centers, and searching and destroying homes.

Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares accused the European Union of silence regarding what is happening in the Gaza Strip, affirming that his country will lead an international movement to take concrete steps to stop the massacres against the Palestinians.

Earlier, Albares stated that he would support the exclusion of the Israeli team, Israel Premier Tech, from the Vuelta cycling race, following the team's targeting during pro-Palestine demonstrations that caused the competitions to halt.

José Manuel Albares added, in response to a question from Spanish National Public Radio (RNE), that he would understand and support the idea of excluding the Israeli team from the race, adding that his government cannot claim it has the ability to do so.

He clarified, "We must send a message to Israel and the Israeli society that Europe and Israel cannot maintain normal relations unless human rights are respected."

On Wednesday, the organizers of the Vuelta a España cycling race announced the shortening of the eleventh stage in the city of Bilbao, and that no winner would be declared for it, following pro-Palestine protests witnessed at the finish line.

An official statement from the race management explained: "After the events that occurred at the finish line, it was decided to adopt the timing of the stage three kilometers before the finish line, and no winner will be announced for this stage."

The statement confirmed that the times recorded up to that point would be counted in the overall ranking of the race.

A large number of protesters supporting the Palestinian cause gathered near the finish line, with some attempting to breach security barriers as the racers passed for the first time, prompting police intervention.

This year's race has faced a series of daily protests, with demonstrators focusing their efforts on the Israeli team "Israel - Premier Tech," which is participating among the official teams in the tour.

For his part, race director Javier Guillén announced that the organizers would file an official complaint with the police, describing the protests as "acts of violence."

However, Guillén's statements were met with a government response, as Spanish Youth Minister Irene Montero stated: "It is unacceptable to describe a peaceful protest against a team supported by a country accused of systematic violence in Gaza as an act of violence."

These protests come amid rising public anger in Europe and the world towards Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip, with demonstrators accusing some sports teams of complicity through commercial and sports partnerships with Israeli institutions.

On Wednesday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated that Europe's response to the Gaza war has been a failure and that the double standards regarding Gaza and Ukraine threaten to undermine the West's global standing.

He added, "We are pleased that European countries are joining Spain in recognizing a Palestinian state, but Europe's response has been weak."

He continued, "EU countries are divided on how to influence Israel, and this is unacceptable."

The broadcasting authority of the occupation (Kan 11) revealed on Friday evening that the leadership of the occupation army and its former chief of staff, Herzi Halevi, tried to convince the political level, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, to reach a comprehensive one-stage deal to release all detainees, even if the price was to keep Hamas in the Gaza Strip and end the war.

However, Netanyahu categorically rejected the proposal, describing it as a "defeat."

According to sources cited by the channel, Halevi and a team of senior army officers worked during the months leading up to the Rafah ground operation to formulate this proposal.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that there is a possibility that some of the detainees in Gaza may have died, confirming that the United States is engaged in "deep negotiations" with Hamas amid an attack by the Israeli occupation.

Trump added to reporters in the Oval Office: "There are some who have died recently, that's what I'm hearing. I hope that's a mistake, but there are more than 30 bodies in these negotiations."

Since October 7, 2023, 251 individuals have been detained, with 47 still held in Gaza. The occupying army claims that 25 of them have been killed, and Tel Aviv is seeking to recover their bodies.

Trump noted in his remarks that there are "about 38 people killed - beautiful young people who have died," before mentioning other numbers ranging from 20 to 30 individuals.

The U.S. President added that the United States is still in negotiations with Hamas, stating: "We are in very deep negotiations with Hamas."

Regarding the detainees held by Hamas, Trump said: "We said release them all now, release them all, and much better things will happen to them. But if you do not release them all, things will be tough and harsh."

On the other hand, Tel Aviv is planning to take control of Gaza City, the largest city in the strip that has already been devastated by the war, and has warned of targeting all high-rise buildings that it believes Hamas is using.

The Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas emphasized the seriousness of the situation in Palestine, pointing out that the Israeli occupation wants to completely destroy Palestine, and confirming that the Palestinian Authority does not oppose the existence of an Arab or international partnership to manage the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian president addressed the Oslo Agreement, stating that it was a "qualitative leap... Do we want to return to the country, is that reasonable?" He added that the world was surprised by the agreement that was achieved on an American paper, with negotiations taking place in Oslo and the signing in Washington.

He clarified that Netanyahu tried to "cancel or freeze the Oslo Agreement," but stressed that this agreement is "bilateral" and "cannot be canceled by one party." He added, "We agreed in Oslo on mutual recognition between Israel and the PLO... and the Israelis regret recognizing the PLO as the representative of the Palestinians."

Abbas pointed to the scale of losses in Gaza, noting that "at least 200,000 dead and wounded in Gaza," and highlighted that the Israeli occupation continues its approach while the world is content with condemnation.

The Palestinian president addressed the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, emphasizing that "Gaza is experiencing a real famine... those who do not die in the war in Gaza are dying of hunger... the number of those dying of hunger in Gaza is greater than those dying from violence."

Abbas referred to the regional role of Jordan and Egypt, stating that "Jordan and Egypt have an honorable position in preventing displacement from Gaza and the West Bank," adding, "We are working to stop the displacement of the Palestinian people."

He confirmed that "the Palestinian Authority is actively engaging diplomatically to stop the war on Gaza," noting that "we are ready to take over the governance of Gaza and we have the capabilities for that... and we have no objection to an Arab or international partnership in managing Gaza."

He revealed that he agreed with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to withdraw all weapons from the camps, adding, "We are determined to withdraw all Palestinian weapons from Lebanon."

Israeli security officials have warned of the dangers of the ground operation launched by Tel Aviv to occupy the city of Gaza on the lives of the prisoners in the sector, suggesting that the military operation may continue for several months.

The official Hebrew broadcasting agency reported on Friday, citing unnamed officials, that the military operation in the city of Gaza could last for several months, with a minimum of 3 months.

The officials added that it is "impossible to guarantee that the detainees (Israeli prisoners) will not be harmed in the military operation in the city of Gaza."

Today, an investigation was published that refuted the claims of the Israeli occupation army regarding its bombing of Nasser Hospital in the Gaza Strip at the end of last month, which resulted in the martyrdom of 22 people, including 5 journalists.

The American agency stated that the attack raises serious questions about the motives of the occupation and the manner in which it was carried out, noting that among the martyrs was Mariam Daqa, who worked for other media agencies.

The Israeli forces targeted a location where journalists were gathering due to a camera mounted on the roof, which the occupation believed was being used by Hamas to monitor Israeli army soldiers.

An Israeli official justified the bombing by citing "suspicious behavior" and unspecified intelligence information, but the only details provided were the presence of a piece of cloth on the camera and a person next to it.

It was mentioned that the camera in question belonged to Egyptian journalist Hossam Al-Masri from Reuters, who was martyred in the first strike.

He regularly covered his equipment with a white cloth to protect it from the heat of the sun and dust.

According to witnesses, Israel was frequently monitoring the site using a drone, which gave it the opportunity to correctly identify Hossam Al-Masri.

Shortly after the first strike, the occupation targeted the same site again, after medical teams and emergency crews arrived to assist the wounded.

This attack raised accusations that it was a "double strike," a type of attack intended to kill those who are aiding the injured.

The investigation stated that the occupation army used high-explosive tank shells to target the hospital, instead of more precise guided weapons.

In total, Israel targeted the hospital four times, without warning each time.

The investigation relied on information from current and former Israeli military officials, other officials, war experts, and accounts from about 20 witnesses.

Before the attack, Hossam Al-Masri was positioned with his camera on an external staircase at Nasser Hospital.

A photo taken by Daqa in mid-August shows Al-Masri on the same staircase next to his camera, with a white cloth covering it.

In the weeks leading up to the strikes, Al-Masri was almost daily live-streaming from the staircase.

Five journalists confirmed that he often used the cloth to protect the camera from the weather elements.

Photographers have been using the external staircase of the hospital building for months to get an aerial view of Khan Younis city.

Based on an analysis of footage at the time of the attack, and by speaking with multiple eyewitnesses, it was stated that there is no evidence that anyone targeted in the strikes was armed.

The leader of the Israeli opposition party "Democrats," Yair Golan, called for the return of prisoners held by the occupation from the Gaza Strip and for an end to the war, which he indicated has become a means for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to maintain his position.

Golan stated in a post on the platform "X" (formerly Twitter) on Friday: "The war has become a survival war for Netanyahu, instead of focusing on the return of the kidnapped (prisoners) and the security of Israel," commenting on a video clip published by the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, showing the Israeli prisoner in Gaza, Guy Dallal Gilboa.

He added: "We must, and we are committed, to stopping this political war, and to bringing Guy and his 47 comrades back to their homes, and putting an end to their abandonment."

He further stated that Netanyahu's government "is trying to claim that this is a psychological war, but the survival of Guy Gilboa is heartbreaking and highlights the urgent need to bring everyone back," as he expressed.

For his part, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said: "The sign of life (the video of Gilboa) published this morning reminds us once again of the necessity for Israel to return to negotiations to bring back the kidnapped and to attempt to reach a deal."

Lapid added in a post on the platform "X": "We must do our utmost to bring them (the Israeli prisoners in Gaza) back to their homes."

In contrast, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he spoke by phone with the families of the prisoners Gilboa and Alon Ohel, expressing his support for them.

On Friday, the Al-Qassam Brigades published a video showing the Israeli prisoner Gilboa speaking from inside a car driving through the rubble of destroyed buildings in Gaza City, calling on Israelis to create chaos and rebellion against the government to pressure it into reaching a deal for his release.

Gilboa said in the video, which he claimed was recorded on August 28: "We will remain in Gaza City regardless of the anticipated Israeli army attack (at that time on Gaza), and this means that I and more than 8 Israeli citizens (prisoners) will die here," confirming that he has been living "a real nightmare" for more than 22 months in captivity.

He added: "We thought we were prisoners of Hamas, but the truth is that we are prisoners of Netanyahu and (National Security Minister Itamar) Ben Gvir and (Finance Minister Bezalel) Smotrich, who lie all the time and do not want us back."

Gilboa held the Israeli government responsible for the lives of the prisoners held by "Hamas" and the soldiers participating in the genocide being committed by Tel Aviv against the Palestinians.

On Wednesday, Hamas renewed its readiness to reach a comprehensive deal for the release of all Israeli prisoners in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, to end the war on Gaza, and to withdraw from the Strip, but Netanyahu rejected that in a statement from his office.

The occupation army launched on Wednesday an aggression named "Gideon's Chariots 2" to completely occupy Gaza City (north), which sparked criticism and protests in Israel, fearing for the lives of the prisoners and soldiers.

Tel Aviv estimates that there are 48 Israeli prisoners in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while about 11,100 Palestinians are held in its prisons suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect, many of whom have died, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.

With American support, the occupying state has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 64,300 martyrs and 162,005 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, over 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine that has killed 376 Palestinians, including 134 children.

Medical sources announced the death of 70 citizens in the Gaza Strip since the dawn of this Friday.

The sources stated that 70 dead have fallen since dawn today across most areas of the Gaza Strip, as bombing and demolition of homes and tents of displaced persons continue, along with gunfire directed at citizens and those waiting for aid.

The sources indicated that among the dead, 8 bodies have been recovered, 9 dead succumbed to their injuries, and 9 dead were among those waiting for aid.

The Israeli occupation state continues its policy of starvation and deprivation of the besieged Gaza Strip from food and sustenance, a policy that began with the ongoing genocide for nearly two years, and intensified to its utmost levels since March 2025, with the occupation closing all crossings leading to Gaza and preventing the entry of almost any food, medicine, or humanitarian aid.

Under widespread international pressure and global outrage against the deliberate starvation of more than two million Palestinians, the occupation announced on July 25 that it would allow humanitarian aid to be delivered by air to the Gaza Strip, following a wave of criticism. Although the aerial drops of aid serve more to relieve the burden on the participating countries than to solve the famine hitting Gaza, the occupation decided to stop them after just a month, announcing official plans to occupy the city of Gaza.

In 2012, the calorie policy was revealed by the Coordinator of Operations in the Palestinian Territories, a revelation that came after prolonged pressure from the Israeli organization 'Gisha – Legal Center for Freedom of Movement.' An article published by the newspaper 'Haaretz' in 2012 stated that this revelation was about a document called 'Red Lines,' which is a table of the calories received by each individual in the Gaza Strip.

A newspaper published a report questioning why the Hamas movement continues to resist and refuses to surrender, answering that the movement, despite its significant losses in Gaza, still believes it can endure and achieve a good deal.

The Israeli genocide has led to the martyrdom of tens of thousands of Palestinians and turned cities into rubble while people struggle to obtain water, food, and electricity.

The report mentioned that Hamas refuses to surrender; it wants to secure its future in Gaza, but its unwillingness to stop and hand over its weapons is part of its ideology.

The citizen Ahmad Abdul Fattah Shahada (57 years old) from the town of Aourif in Nablus Governorate was killed by the occupation's bullets near the Al-Murabba military checkpoint southwest of Nablus city.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that Shahada was shot with live ammunition by the occupation army, which led to his death on site.

Four Palestinians were injured on Friday due to assaults carried out by the Israeli army through beatings and live fire near military checkpoints in the city of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent stated in a statement that its teams "dealt with three injuries resulting from a beating at the Deir Sharaf checkpoint west of Nablus, and they were transferred to the hospital."

Meanwhile, the official Palestinian news agency "Wafa" reported, citing the Red Crescent, that a fourth Palestinian was injured by live fire at the Al-Murabba military checkpoint southwest of Nablus, without immediate knowledge of the nature of his injury.

The director of the ambulance and emergency center of the Red Crescent in Nablus, Amin Ahmad, reported that the ambulance teams moved after receiving a report about Israeli soldiers firing at a citizen near the Al-Murabba checkpoint, but the soldiers stationed at the checkpoint prevented them from reaching the injured person, according to the agency.

In repeated incidents, Palestinians are subjected to beatings, humiliation, and searches while passing through Israeli military checkpoints in the West Bank.

The number of permanent and temporary checkpoints, including gates and military barriers that divide Palestinian territories and impose restrictions on the movement of individuals and goods, is 898, including more than 156 iron gates established after October 7, 2023, according to data from the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.

The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission reported that during August, there were about 1,613 assaults committed by the Israeli army and settlers against Palestinians and their properties in the West Bank, including 431 assaults committed by settlers.

In preparation for annexing the West Bank, Israel has intensified its crimes since the start of its war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, including the demolition of homes, the displacement of Palestinian citizens, and the expansion and acceleration of settlement construction.

The annexation of the West Bank by Israel would eliminate the possibility of establishing an independent Palestinian state, in implementation of the two-state solution principle (Palestinian and Israeli), as stipulated by international resolutions.

Alongside the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have killed at least 1,017 Palestinians and injured about 7,000 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 18,500, according to Palestinian data.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, which includes killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 64,300 deaths and 162,005 injuries among Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, over 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine that has killed 376 Palestinians, including 134 children.

The Prisoners' Club reviewed the key facts about the arrest operations, which include arrests in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, after 700 days of the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The club stated today, Friday, that the total number of arrests in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, has reached more than (19,000) cases.

It added that this figure does not include Gaza, where the number of arrests is estimated in the thousands, as the concept of arrest cases includes those who were detained and remain in detention and those who were later released.

It clarified that the total number of arrests among women since the beginning of the genocide has exceeded (585), including women who were arrested from the territories of 1948, and cases of arrests among women from Gaza who were detained from the West Bank, while this figure does not include the number of women arrested from Gaza, which is estimated to be in the dozens.

The club confirmed that the number of arrests among children in the West Bank has reached at least (1,550) children.

As for the martyr detainees, it confirmed that since the beginning of the genocide, at least (77) detainees have been martyred in the occupation's prisons, whose identities have been revealed and announced, including (46) martyrs from Gaza detainees, in addition to dozens of Gaza detainees who were martyred in prisons and camps, whose identities and circumstances of their martyrdom have not been disclosed by the occupation, and they remain subjected to enforced disappearance.

It is noted that (74) of the martyrs whose identities were announced since the beginning of the genocide still have their bodies held, among (85) martyr detainees, whose bodies the occupation continues to hold, whose identities have been announced.

The Prisoners' Club stated that since the beginning of the genocide until today, there is no clear estimate of the number of detainees from Gaza in the occupation's prisons and camps, and the only available data is what the prison administration announces, classifying them as (illegal combatants), which is (2,662), noting that institutions have been unable to monitor the number of arrests from Gaza in light of the crime of enforced disappearance imposed on Gaza detainees since the beginning of the aggression, and their number is estimated to be in the thousands.
