🟢 Head of the National Relations Office at Hamas, Hussam Badran, to Al-Jazeera:
—
The occupation is fully responsible for delaying the agreement.
There are impossible conditions that Netanyahu is trying to impose, which are hindering the agreement.
What matters to us in the talks is seeing clear mechanisms for what was previously agreed upon and approved by Hamas.
Washington is not an impartial mediator and is giving Netanyahu cover to continue the war.
Netanyahu has no intention or inclination to reach an agreement and is seeking to escalate the situation across the entire region.

🇮🇶 Secretary-General of Asa'ib Ahl Al-Haq, Sheikh Qais al-Khazali:
—
The forces that are present illegally and contrary to the Iraqi constitution and law cannot be removed through diplomatic negotiations.
Without armed resistance alongside diplomatic negotiations, U.S. forces will not leave the country.
The presence of resistance to force the U.S. forces to withdraw and achieve full sovereignty is a duty.
The existence of the resistance is necessary to achieve sovereignty in the near and medium future, and we are part of the Axis of Resistance, which is relevant if the conflict expands in the region, Lebanon, or Yemen.
The struggle between the resistance in Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq and the zionist entity is ongoing, and the battle is not over.
There are coming rounds between the resistance and the zionist entity, and the final round is what counts, as matters are judged by their outcomes.
What exists now is psychological warfare, economic and social problems, and anxiety at the level of "israel," where they daily expect to be bombed and attacked.
The psychological anxiety in "israel" is part of the battle and is part of the response.
Certainly, the Iraqi resistance’s support for Gaza will continue, and as things near their end, the one currently winning the war is the Axis of Resistance.
The states sponsoring the zionist entity defend human rights and view it as the "moral army" in the region and the "strongest army."
If Netanyahu's goals are not achieved, it means that the one who prevented these goals from being realized is the victor. This is a definitive and certain outcome.

First case of polio recorded in the Gaza Strip.
Amid the challenging health conditions in the Gaza Strip, including the spread of infectious diseases, the overflow of sewage into streets and among displaced persons' tents, and the lack of personal hygienic supplies and clean drinking water, the Ministry of Health confirms the following after laboratory confirmation of a polio case in a child exhibiting polio-like symptoms:
Several specialized committees have been formed to carry out various tasks aimed at limiting the spread of the polio epidemic.
These efforts involve collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, UNRWA, and several experts.
Preparations have been set for a vaccination campaign against polio, targeting children under 10 years of age. The campaign is pending the arrival of vaccines in the Gaza Strip.
The Ministry emphasizes that this campaign cannot succeed without enabling medical teams to operate widely, which necessitates an urgent ceasefire.
We urge citizens, especially mothers, to cooperate with the medical teams that will be stationed at various points and health centers for the campaign.
The locations of these points and centers will be announced when the campaign begins.
The Ministry stresses that the vaccination campaign alone will not suffice without addressing the root causes, such as sewage problems, waste accumulation among displaced persons' tents, the provision of safe drinking water, and an end to the aggression.
The Ministry of Health warns that the spread of this epidemic will not be confined to the Gaza Strip, and international institutions and relevant authorities must take necessary measures to prevent its spread within and beyond the Gaza Strip.

Saad Hassan Baraka, who oversees the Deir Al-Balah cemetery, has buried 19,000 martyrs since October 7th.
He says that he buried 200 to 300 martyrs a week, when he used to bury five people at most before the war.
"I buried the Tabatibi family. 47 women, and 16 of them were pregnant...I don't know how to sleep after seeing cut up children and women."
"The cemetery is filled. I put graves over graves, two or three over each other. We started creating floors for the martyrs."
"Their issue isn't with Sinwar or Hayya or anything. Their issue is to eliminate the Palestinian people in totality."
"I work from 6 AM to 6 PM every day. I only buried two or three Hamas members. All of the rest are children, women, and elderly."
Saad's account of the overwhelming number of burials and unimaginable tool exposes the brutal reality of the war, which doesn't affect a few, but the entire Palestinian people.

🚨 After 408 days of imprisonment, several court orders for his release, and a 20-day-long hunger strike, fighter Mohammed Brahma has been freed from the prisons of the treacherous Palestinian Authority.
Brahma was abducted by the Palestinian Authority forces in July 2023 when he and his comrade Murad Malaysha of the Jaba' Brigade mobilized to head to Jenin to support their brothers in the Fury of Jenin battle. The PA refused to release Brahma to attend his father's funeral in March 2024, despite the orders for his release.
In November, Mohammed and Murad were assaulted by PA forces in the infamous Areeha prison, known for torture. In January, Mohammed's mother asked that her son's name be included in any future prisoner exchange deal as he embarked on a third hunger strike, where she highlighted the PA's hypocrisy between how it treats sons of its own country versus colonial settlers. #FreeThemAll

🚨 The number of martyrs as a result of the massacre in the IOF strike targeting Wadi Kfour, Nabatiyeh, in the southern Lebanese depth has risen to 10 Syrian martyrs including children. Four other people were injured.
A citizen filming the scene says: "We are here at the Tohmaz company for iron trade. Nothing else. We do not have Hezbollah nor do we have leaders in Hezbollah here. We do not even have Lebanese citizens living here. This is a purely trading company. The people who were martyred are all workers. It is an aggression against trading civilian establishments. May Allah have mercy on the martyrs and may He grant them a place in His vast Heavens."
