🚨Hamas is expected to announce tonight that it has accepted the framework of the agreement, according to Israel Hayom.
According to Axios, senior Israeli officials are growing concerned that Hamas may attempt to renegotiate the “keys”—the ratio of prisoners to hostages—in the ongoing ceasefire and hostage deal discussions. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff’s original proposal outlined the release of 125 convicted Palestinian murderers and 1,111 Gazans detained after October 7 in exchange for 10 living hostages. However, a revised proposal from Qatar this week omitted any reference to specific numbers. When questioned, Qatari mediators said the ratios would be “similar” to Witkoff’s plan but offered no concrete guarantees. “If Hamas agrees, we’ll move into intense proximity talks over the keys. It’s going to be difficult, and a breakdown is possible,” a senior Israeli official warned. image
According to information released by the Kremlin, during the phone call between Trump and Putin—the sixth since the beginning of the year—Putin told Trump that Russia will not back down from any of its demands in Ukraine and will not give up any of the points it has previously presented. He also stated that Russia wants to address the “root cause of the problem,” meaning Putin seeks the removal of Zelensky’s government and the annexation of all occupied regions, including those not yet under Russian control. Despite this, Putin emphasized his desire to continue peace negotiations. According to the Kremlin, Trump responded by saying he wants to end the war quickly. image

In 2017, Democrats aged 18 to 49 favored Israel over the Palestinians by a 14-point margin. Today, even after the deadliest terror attack in Israel’s recent history, 78% of Democrats in that age group support the Palestinians, while only 21% back Israel—a dramatic 71-point shift in just a few years. image
Message from Mossad to the People of Iran: Dear Iranian citizens, We want you to know that we are doing everything in our power to ensure your safety. Our fight is not with you—it is with the oppressive regime of the Islamic Republic. To help protect you, we ask that you follow these important safety guidelines: 1. Avoid all IRGC personnel, especially senior officials. 2. Stay away from IRGC facilities—particularly if you hear a sound in the sky resembling a lawnmower. 3. Do not approach vehicles known to be owned or used by the regime. 4. If someone nearby suddenly receives a call or message from the IRGC, distance yourself immediately. Remain alert. The regime’s leaders—those hiding in bunkers while the public remains exposed—are the ones in danger. Please follow these instructions. They are meant to save lives. image
