Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh on Sunday accused Israel's prime minister of sabotaging efforts by mediators involved in ongoing talks aimed at a truce and hostage exchange in Gaza.
The Israeli army said Friday its forces had taken into custody more than 20 people suspected of involvement in the October 7 attack during a raid on a Gaza hospital.
Hamas's armed wing said on Friday that hostages in Gaza were "struggling to stay alive" as conditions across the war-battered Palestinian territory deteriorate due to relentless Israeli bombardments.
Seventy-two of the 99 journalists killed in 2023 were killed in the Israel-Hamas war, making the last 12 months the deadliest for the media in almost a decade, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Thursday.
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas pressed the group Hamas on Wednesday to agree a Gaza deal quickly to avoid "dire consequences", the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
