🟢 🇵🇸 “Not what our people aspire to”: Senior Hamas official defends weapons and withdrawal deal with Trump’s “Board of Peace” as the best achievable amid international abandonment and collusion

Senior Hamas official Basem Naim said the movement agreed to the disarmament roadmap “after a fierce negotiating battle” waged “with the blood and the bodies of our sons and our leaders.” He noted it was intended to ease the burden on Gaza’s suffering population and secure at least some “relief for our people.”

In a thread on X, Naim, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, acknowledged the deal “is certainly not what our people aspire to after their epic battle on the road to liberation,” but said negotiators worked within “the available space between preventing the return of war and preserving our strategic project.”

“The ball is now in the enemy’s court to fulfill its obligations,” he said, adding that mediators and guarantors must force Israel to comply and prevent it from “escaping the agreement, as it did in the first phase.”

He stressed that the deal bars any move to a new phase before the current first phase is completed, referring to Israel’s failure so far to allow adequate food, water, shelter, and materials for infrastructure repair and recovery into Gaza. It also requires Israel to withdraw to the original “Yellow Line,” after it gradually seized an additional 17% of Gaza during the ceasefire.

Addressing Palestinians who fear Hamas has conceded too much, Naim called their concerns “legitimate and reasonable,” but pointed to what he described as “the abandonment and the collusion” that left Gaza to endure three years alone. The task now, he said, is to build on Operation al-Aqsa Flood “to save Gaza and complete the project of liberation” by activating efforts in other arenas.

“To work, instead of trade blame,” he advised.

🚨🇵🇸 BREAKING: Palestinian sources say Israel will halt its Gaza assaults starting Sunday under the new Trump roadmap deal; Israel has not yet publicly confirmed the news.

Palestinian officials and factions said Saturday that Israel has agreed to stop its bombing, killings, and assassinations in Gaza beginning Sunday morning, as part of the roadmap deal Hamas and other factions approved this week. Israel has not publicly announced any such halt, and its strikes have continued since the deal was unveiled Thursday. At least 8 Palestinians were killed in nearly a dozen different attacks on the Strip on Saturday.

Mohammad Dahlan, the exiled former Fatah security chief in Gaza who is more based in the UAE and has emerged as an influential figure in post-war planning, said Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and lead Gaza mediator, had assured him he reached an agreement with Israel to cease the assaults starting Sunday morning. Dahlan said the deal’s success now hinges on Israel’s full commitment to halting the daily attacks.

Separately, a source from the Palestinian factions told the Quds News Network that Board of Peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov and the mediators had informed them Israel would halt military escalation and assassinations starting Sunday, adding that they awaited Israel’s own announcement.

Dahlan urged all factions to commit to the agreement and halt “armed displays” or anything that could give Israel a pretext to derail it.

🇵🇸 The Telegraph reports that exiled Palestinian politician Mohammed Dahlan & the UAE’s regional ambitions were among the forces that helped push the Gaza agreement over the line, as Egyptian pressure, Trump’s search for a diplomatic victory & looming Palestinian elections converged. 🔹 Dahlan, 64...

🔹 Dahlan, 64, served under and later fell out with both Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas. As Gaza security chief before Hamas’s 2007 takeover, he built close ties with the CIA and regional intelligence agencies. He acted as the key architect of a U.S.-backed, Fatah-led initiative to confront and overthrow Hamas in Gaza, a strategy that failed and triggered a civil war leading to a complete Hamas takeover.

🔹He now lives in Abu Dhabi, where he is a close adviser to UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed and a powerful figure and wealthy businessman.

🔹 A source “at the heart of the negotiations” reportedly told The Telegraph that Dahlan “did play a major role” in the final two days because he retains a base in Gaza and maintains relationships with Palestinian factions.

🔹 Dahlan’s intervention was reportedly driven by Palestinian legislative elections scheduled for Nov. 28, the first in more than 20 years. His breakaway Fatah faction, aligned with imprisoned leader Marwan Barghouti, opposes Abbas. One source said Dahlan pressured Hamas to make the final concessions in exchange for possible political support, signaling that it should disarm and “join the political fight.” Another source described his message to Hamas as “an offer of a political lifeline.”

Mohammad Dahlan محمد دحلان

Translated from Arabic
Following Hamas and other Palestinian factions' agreement to the fifteen-point roadmap, the success of the agreement now depends on Israel's full commitment to ending its daily attacks in Gaza.

Mr. Jared Kushner has informed us that he is working with the Israeli side to halt the attacks on Gaza. We continue our intensive contacts with the American side to ensure the faithful and complete implementation of the agreement.

We hope that the people of Gaza will witness the beginning of a new phase that restores hope and confidence in the future. We also call on all Palestinian factions to fully commit to the agreement, cease all armed manifestations and any actions that could provide Israel with a pretext to undermine it, and prepare for a phase that will be replete with challenges. We are confident in our people's ability to overcome them, rebuild Gaza, protect the West Bank, and continue the path toward freedom, independence, and the establishment of our independent Palestinian state.

🚨 At least 264 children, already cleared by the WHO and relevant Israeli and Palestinian bodies, have died while trapped in Gaza awaiting medical evacuation, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The ministry says Israeli restrictions preventing patients on the WHO and COGAT-approved list from leaving Gaza have led to the direct deaths of more than 1,570 people since Oct. 7, including 505 cancer patients, with another 6 to 10 patients dying each day as they wait.

Israel, with the United States’ backing, kept the Rafah crossing closed again on Wednesday, blocking all patients, travelers, and returnees from crossing despite the October 2025 ceasefire agreement, which explicitly provides for the resumption of medical evacuations and civilian travel through Rafah.

⚡️ NEW: The Hind Rajab Foundation and the Center for Constitutional Rights have called on New York Attorney General Letitia James to open a criminal investigation into Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir ahead of his visit to New York City on July 7-8, citing the Justice Department’s “consistent silence and inaction” on their requests to prosecute him federally.

The groups argue James has both the authority and the obligation to act because New York residents were harmed by Ben-Gvir’s conduct, giving reasonable grounds to believe he committed at least nine crimes under the New York Penal Code.

The letter cites:

🔸 Torture and abuse under Ben-Gvir’s authority against New York residents, including a Palestinian American subjected to starvation in Israeli prison and ten New Yorkers who joined the 2025 and 2026 Global Sumud Flotillas, tortured and abused, some directly by Ben-Gvir, after being seized in international waters

🔸 His distribution of gun permits and weapons to settlers in the occupied West Bank in furtherance of apartheid and violent dispossession

🔸 His direct incitement to genocide, which the groups say produced concrete genocidal acts in Israel’s prisons, Gaza, and the West Bank

“If the federal government is going to continue to deny justice for victims of Israeli atrocities, even when those victims are US nationals, then it is up to US states to provide their own avenues for accountability instead,” Jake Romm, HRF’s US representative said.

🇨🇩 Former Congolese President Joseph Kabila has taken a central political role in the Rwanda-backed AFC/M23 rebellion, according to a new UN Group of Experts report, visiting rebel-held territory since May 2025, meeting its leadership, and, alongside rebel leader Corneille Nangaa, nurturing “the ambition of seizing power in Kinshasa.”

The report finds AFC/M23 now commands some 30,000 fighters, the largest armed force in eastern DRC, and is weighing a rebrand to broaden its political appeal.

Investigators say Kabila’s visibility is partly “intended to obscure the role of Rwanda,” which the UN says maintained 14,000 to 18,000 troops in North and South Kivu as of late December 2025, a year after the Trump administration’s celebrated Washington peace deal with Kigali, built around US access to Congolese minerals, was supposed to wind the war down.

The US had sanctioned Kabila in April for backing M23; a Congolese military court sentenced him to death in absentia in September.

🇬🇧 The UK has convened an emergency UN Human Rights Council debate on Sudan in Geneva, with its human rights ambassador warning that up to 500,000 civilians face imminent risk of large-scale atrocities as the RSF masses around El Obeid.

“The RSF must halt their attack,” Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said. “The international community must not turn away.”

Neither Cooper nor the UK’s statements name the UAE, the RSF’s chief arms supplier, mirroring her Gaza statements this week, which announced £23m for UNRWA and demanded crossings open without once naming Israel.

Last September, war crimes investigator Nathaniel Raymond sent the British government a memo warning that El Fasher was on the verge of falling and urging it to publicly rebuke the UAE over its backing of the RSF. Instead, he says British diplomats chose to preserve relations with Abu Dhabi. Less than a month later, the RSF overran the city in a genocidal massacre. Yale researchers estimate at least 60,000 people were killed in the immediate aftermath, with the true death toll potentially far higher.
