Hamas says it ‘responded positively’ to temporary ceasefire deal proposal with Israel

Hamas announced it has submitted a “positive response” to the mediators about the current ceasefire and hostage exchange release proposal on the table.

How the proposal will be implemented will require another round of negotiations, according to the group.

“The movement is fully prepared to immediately enter into a round of negotiations regarding the mechanism for implementing this framework,” Hamas said.

The deal comes more than 20 months into the conflict — and more than three months after a previous deal ended.

Israel had expected a response from Hamas on the ceasefire and hostage deal by Friday, an Israeli official told ABC News.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office addressed the Hamas response to the ceasefire proposal on the table, saying in a statement, “the changes Hamas are requesting to make” to it are “unacceptable to Israel.”

Nonetheless, the office said a negotiating team will leave Sunday for Doha, Qatar, to continue negotiations on the proposal.

“After assessing the situation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed to accept the invitation for proximity talks and to continue the negotiations to return our hostages on the basis of the Qatari proposal that Israel agreed to,” the office said.

Earlier this week, a Hamas adviser said the group was still studying the proposal.

“Hamas is open to any proposal that will end the Israeli military campaign in Gaza, but Hamas wants guarantees that Israel will commit to moving to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement after the first phase, which is set to last for 60 days,” said Taher Al-Nounou, media adviser to the head of Hamas.

What’s in the deal?

The revised temporary ceasefire deal on the table now deals with the release of more hostages by Hamas, according to two Israeli sources familiar with the matter.

The deal calls for the release of 10 living hostages from Hamas captivity and the return of 15 bodies of hostages being held by the terrorist group.

It is believed there are about 20 living hostages still being held by Hamas.

According to the terms of the proposal, the release of the 10 living hostages and 15 bodies will be staggered over the 60-day period the temporary ceasefire is in effect.

Under the terms of the deal, Hamas will not hold ceremonies for the hostage releases, as they did during a previous six-week ceasefire.

Discussion of a permanent ceasefire will take place during the 60-day period.

Even after Hamas responds to the proposal, there are still several issues that remain to be addressed, one of the sources said — including the number of Palestinian prisoners to be released in exchange for hostages.

In many rounds of negotiations, Hamas has sought a guaranteed end to the war in Gaza — but that remained a chief sticking point in recent negotiations and something Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had not agreed to budge on.

President Donald Trump announced earlier this week that Israel had agreed to conditions for the 60-day ceasefire in Gaza.

Trump said representatives from Qatar and Egypt would deliver the final proposal to Hamas, which came after a “long and productive meeting” between Trump officials and Israeli officials in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.

“I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

The latest deal comes after months of negotiations over a ceasefire led in part by U.S. Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff.

In May, the White House submitted an Israeli-approved proposal for a 60-day ceasefire to Hamas, but the deal stalled.

At the time, Trump urged both Israel and Hamas to make a deal ahead of and during his first foreign policy trip of his second term in office to the Middle East. Ultimately, a deal was not reached, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ramped up attacks on Gaza after Trump left the region

In January, a six-week temporary ceasefire went into effect, resulting in the release of dozens of captives held by Hamas and an exchange of Palestinian prisoners.

However, that ceasefire ended on March 18 when Israel resumed military operations against Hamas in Gaza, with Israel citing the failure to release the remaining hostages and saying the military was targeting Hamas terrorists who posed a threat to Israeli troops and citizens.

The Israeli government also imposed a blockade on humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip on March 2 that lasted for 11 weeks and ended on May 19.

The Israel-Hamas war has taken a grim human toll. Since the war began, nearly 56,000 people in Gaza have been killed and more than 131,000 have been wounded, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry.

The war began on Oct. 7, 2023, when 1,200 people were killed in a Hamas-led terrorist attack on southern Israel. Hundreds more were taken hostage. At least 20 living hostages are believed to still remain in Hamas captivity.

Israel says it did not destroy all enriched uranium in Iran, tried to assassinate Khamenei

Israel did not destroy all of Iran’s highly enriched uranium and tried to kill Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during its operation, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in an interview to Channel 13 on Thursday evening.

When asked about the 408 kilograms of highly enriched uranium the Iranians had before the war and if it was moved inside Iran or taken out of the country, Katz said, “It was clear from the outset of our attack that we would not eliminate all of the material. The shared U.S.-Israeli position is that the Iranians will be asked to hand over that material.”

Israel tried during the war with Iran to assassinate Khamanei, but there was “no operational opportunity to do so,” Katz said.

He laughed off the suggestion Israel would need “permission” from the U.S. He denied it was “forbidden” by the U.S.

Israel-Iran live updates: Trump says he would bomb Iran again ‘without a question’

President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday morning he is “not happy” with either Israel or Iran after the opening hours of a nascent ceasefire between the two combatants were marred by reported exchanges.

Trump said Iran and Israel both “violated” the ceasefire that he announced late on Monday, in comments made as he departed the White House.

On Wednesday morning, the president and his administration continued to push back on an early intelligence report suggesting that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities likely only set Tehran’s nuclear program back by months.

Trump says he would bomb Iran again ‘without a question’

President Donald Trump said on Friday he would bomb Iran again “without a question” if intelligence were to find that Iran can enrich uranium to a level higher than what he is comfortable with.

“Without a question. Absolutely,” he told reporters in the White House briefing room.

“They’re exhausted. The last thing they are thinking about is nuclear [weapons],” Trump said of Iran.

Responding to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s claim that Iran won the war, Trump said, “You got beat to hell. Israel was beat up too, they were both beat up.”

Trump doubles down on claim Iran’s nuclear sites were ‘obliterated’

President Donald Trump on Friday doubled down on his claim that Iran’s nuclear sites were “obliterated” and said it would take “years” before the country could restart its program.

“I don’t believe that they’re going to go back into nuclear anytime soon. They spent over $1 trillion on nuclear and they never got it together. And nothing was moved from the site, by the way, to do that is very dangerous. It’s very, very heavy material,” he told reporters in the White House briefing room on Friday.

Trump also said that Iran now wants to meet and negotiate a deal.

“I’ve been saying for 25 years, even as a civilian, you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon and that’s what happened. It’s been obliterated,” he said. “It would be years before they could ever get going. And I really think it’s probably the last thing they have to recover from a hell of a tough war.”

Iran may still be ‘days’ from nuke, Democrats skeptical uranium was destroyed

Following a classified briefing, House Speaker Mike Johnson said that Iran’s nuclear capabilities suffered a “major setback” after the U.S. bombed three sites there last weekend, telling reporters that lawmakers received a “thorough” and “very helpful” closed-door briefing — but Democrats left the briefing worried that Iran’s cache of enriched uranium may have not been destroyed.

Asked about that uranium stockpile by ABC News, Johnson downplayed the significance of an initial intelligence assessment from the Pentagon which showed that Iran’s stockpile was not destroyed.

“We have a sense about that, some of this is classified, but I will tell you that there was a CIA press release, I think it went out yesterday, and they concluded that this is a quote, ‘Iran’s nuclear program has been severely damaged,’ unquote,” Johnson said. “I’ll put that in layman’s terms. I would say it’s a substantial setback.”

But the only PhD nuclear physicist serving in Congress, Rep. Bill Foster, told reporters that he worries Iran’s uranium survived.

“I know this technology pretty well. I was very disappointed that we learned very little about the inventory of high enriched uranium, 60% enriched uranium, and its whereabouts and what that meant for the breakout time to Iran’s first nuclear device,” Foster said. “There is, I think frankly, a very over-optimistic portrayal of what was and was not accomplished by this mission, because we do not have understanding and control of where all of that material is.”

Democrats said there are “massive inconsistencies” remaining — and if the uranium was not destroyed, Foster believes Iran could still be “days” or “a very brief period of time” from building a nuclear bomb.

“We’re talking about 20 or 30 scuba tanks full of material, where any two or so of those scuba tanks provide enough material for a first nuclear weapon,” he said. “That is what we’re trying to understand – where the location is and the disposition in the situation where the intelligence may or may not be complete.”

Foster said “the game was lost” when President Trump withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, also known as the Iran nuclear deal, in 2018.

“Under that under the JCPOA, we had very strict limits and enforced limits on their inventory of enriched uranium at different levels. And when that was lost, the game was lost,” he said. “And now we’re in a situation where they have very large inventories of quite significantly enriched uranium, and unfortunately that implies a very small breakout time to a first nuclear device.”

Former Army Ranger Jason Crow of Colorado, leaving the briefing, said he was “shocked” by the “massive inconsistencies that remain between what Congress has been previously briefed and informed and what we heard today.” The congressman added he is “not convinced whatsoever” that Iran’s nuclear sites have been completely destroyed.

Iran says nuclear installations were ‘badly damaged’

Iran said its nuclear installations were “badly damaged” because it “has come under repeated attacks by Israeli and American aggressors,” Esmail Baghaei, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said on Wednesday.

“There has been a draft bill by our parliament today. It has been adopted. And it talks about suspending our cooperation with the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency]. It talks about suspending. Not putting an end to the cooperation,” he said.

“Based on the parliament bill, the IAEA staff are not entitled to enter Iran for inspections, unless security of the nuclear facilities and peaceful activity of Iran is guaranteed,” Baghaei noted.

Iran criticized the IAEA, with Baghaei saying the least it “had to do was to explicitly condemn the acts by the U.S. and Israel.”

“The international community has to understand that what was done by the United States against Iran was a horrible blow to international diplomacy, to international law and to international ethics,” he said.

“After we launched an attack in our defense on the U.S. base in Qatar — that is the al-Hudeid base — we received a message from Oman regarding ceasefire. As a country that has never welcomed war, and never doubted in defending ourselves, we accepted this suggestion,” Baghaei said.

Israel-Iran live updates: Hegseth defends Iran bombing, says media undermining ‘success’

President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday morning he is “not happy” with either Israel or Iran after the opening hours of a nascent ceasefire between the two combatants were marred by reported exchanges.

Trump said Iran and Israel both “violated” the ceasefire that he announced late on Monday, in comments made as he departed the White House.

On Wednesday morning, the president and his administration continued to push back on an early intelligence report suggesting that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities likely only set Tehran’s nuclear program back by months.

Centrifuges at Fordow nuclear facility ‘suffered a great deal,’ IAEA Director says

The centrifuges at Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility “have suffered a great deal,” International Atomic Energy Agency Director Rafael Grossi said Thursday.

“Given the scale and capacity of the military means used, we can deduce that the centrifuges have suffered a great deal, if [they] have not been destroyed,” Grossi said, originally in French.

When asked if it’s possible that some of the technology or centrifuges at Fordo survived, are still operational or have been moved, Grossi said “it’s a hypothesis,” that can’t be ruled out.

Grossi said while he understands the logic behind Israel and the U.S.’s decision to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, he said he believed “there was a diplomatic path.” Grossi acknowledged Iran was not cooperating in the U.S.-Iran negotiations before military intervention was taken.

“I could never say the solution was [using the] military. I’m not criticizing. It’s not my position to do so,” Grossi said. “Until the day military action was triggered, Iran was not cooperating in the necessary way.”
