While the Islamist Hamas according to its own statements examines a new mediation proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu summons the victory over the terrorist organization. “I tell you – there will be no more Hamas,” said Netanyahu, according to his office, in a speech in the South Israeli city of Ashkelon. “There will be no Hamastan anymore. We won’t return to that. It is over. We will free all of our hostages,” said Netanyahu. The Islamist organization will be fundamentally “eliminated”.
US President Donald Trump had previously announced that Israel had approved the “necessary conditions” for completing a 60-day ceasefire in the Gaza War. During this time, the United States would work with all parties to end the war. The Hamas then announced that the intermediaries are checked. You go to the matter “with great responsibility”.
Next week Trump will receive Netanyahu in Washington. According to the Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, there is a large majority within the Israeli government for a Gaza agreement that also provides for the release of the hostages. “If there is the opportunity to do so, we must not miss it!” Saar wrote on the X.
US President Donald Trump claimed that the air raids on Iran had “wiped out” his nuclear facilities. But on Wednesday, the US Department of Defense admitted that the Iranian nuclear program was only thrown back by one to two years.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell referred to journalists on internal evaluations of intelligence skills. After that, Iran’s enrichment program was “thrown back by at least one to two years,” said Parnell. However, the Ministry of Defense is more of two years.
As part of the “midnight hammer” assignment ordered by Trump, the United States had attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran on the night of June 22nd with bunker -breaking bombs. It was the Fordo, Natans and Isfahan’s facilities. Trump then compared the effect with the US atomic bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.

Marwan Al-Sultan died together with his wife, his daughters and his son-in-law in an attack on his apartment in the city of Gaza, his family member Ahmed al-Sultan told the AFP news agency on Wednesday. He found the dead.
Previously, the civil protection of the Israeli army controlled by Hamas had already accused seven people in attacks on Wednesday afternoon, including Al-Sultan, his wife and at least three of his children.
His surviving daughter Lubna Al-Sultan condemned the attack. “There is no reason to aim at him,” she told the AFP. “His whole life was dedicated to medicine and treatment of patients.” The medical emergency rescue committee that the clinic operates called the killing of al-sultan an “undisguised violation of humanitarian principles” and a “gross act of injustice”.
