Middle East

Erdogan, one of Israel’s harshest critics throughout the war, has leveraged his good relationship with his American counterpart, Donald Trump, to secure a central role alongside Egypt and Qatar.

The IDF rejected the aid due to "serious concerns" about its contents and the intentions of the Italian organization.

Iran has said that it “supports any initiatives that ends the Israeli invasion of Gaza and the ongoing genocide in occupied Palestine, and protects the nation’s rights.”

Khalil Al-Hayya said that he received guarantees from the United States and other mediators confirming the end of the conflict.

“It’s entirely appropriate to celebrate this,” Fetterman said, thanking “God this terrible war is going to end and these poor souls kept underground for over two years can come back home.”

The Abu Shabab militia told Ynet that they welcomed the ceasefire agreement, but have no intention of leaving their positions in Rafah, and will continue to "defend their lands."

Jordan and the Arab Parliament praised the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, calling it a key step toward peace and urging urgent aid for Gaza.

Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said the group will not release hostages unless the Israel-Hamas war fully ends in an interview with Qatar-based Al Araby TV.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan praised the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, thanking Trump and pledging that Turkey will ensure its strict implementation.

The deal will not include the release of four high-profile Palestinian prisoners long sought by Hamas in negotiations: Marwan Barghouti, Ahmad Sa’adat, Hassan Salameh, and Abbas al-Sayed.
