Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Hamas says Netanyahu ruining talks, dragging 'Israel' into losing war

Hamas accuses Netanyahu of sabotaging the Gaza ceasefire talks, rejecting a prisoner exchange deal, and leading the Israeli occupation into a strategic military failure.

The Palestinian Resistance group Hamas accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday of deliberately sabotaging ceasefire negotiations, saying he continues to obstruct efforts to reach a comprehensive deal. 

Hamas said that Netanyahu “has mastered the art of torpedoing negotiation rounds one after another” and has shown no genuine intent to achieve any form of agreement. 

Resistance intensifies battlefield tactics

Hamas highlighted that its fighters are “engaged in a war of attrition that surprises the enemy daily through innovative field tactics that rob it of initiative and confuse its calculations.” 

Despite the Israeli military's overwhelming firepower and aerial supremacy, Hamas asserted that “the longer the war drags on, the deeper the Israeli army sinks into Gaza’s shifting sands, exposing its forces to increasingly sophisticated resistance strikes.” 

The group described Netanyahu’s actions as reckless, stating he is “dragging his army and the entire Zionist entity into a futile war with no horizon.” Hamas warned that the continuation of the aggression not only endangers the lives of prisoners and captured soldiers but also poses a strategic disaster for "Israel" as a whole.

Responding to Netanyahu’s repeated promises of “total victory,” Hamas dismissed such rhetoric as an illusion. “The so-called absolute victory Netanyahu promotes is a grand delusion, meant only to mask a resounding political and military failure,” the group said. 

The statement also referred to Netanyahu’s recent remarks to the families of Israeli captives, in which he indicated there would be no broad prisoner deal. According to Hamas, these statements “expose the malicious intent behind placing obstacles to any possible agreement.” 

Hamas reiterated that it had previously offered a comprehensive deal that would include a full prisoner exchange, a halt to Israeli aggression, and a complete withdrawal of occupation forces from Gaza. “Netanyahu rejected the proposal and continues to stall,” the group added. 

Resistance resilience shaping talks

Hani al-Dali, a Resistance affairs analyst for Al Mayadeen, stated that the Palestinian Resistance's unwavering resolve and refusal to accept Israeli frameworks have shaped the negotiation process.

Al-Dali stressed that the Palestinian Resistance’s steadfastness and battlefield persistence have compelled "Israel" to rethink its earlier withdrawal plans, initially presented during negotiations, having sought to maintain Israeli military presence in parts of the Gaza Strip.

He further noted that the high-impact operations carried out on the ground, such as the widely circulated image of a Resistance fighter planting an explosive device inside an Israeli tank, have significantly pressured the Israeli military establishment. These operations deliver an unmistakable message to the political leadership and public that the army cannot accomplish its goals in Gaza, given the relentless attrition and deteriorating troop morale.

Al-Dali also pointed out that the Palestinian Resistance's strong military performance has directly impacted the negotiation process, forcing the occupation, under mediator pressure, to discuss modifying its withdrawal plans.

Palestinian Resistance's stance on a ceasefire deal

On the Palestinian Resistance's position on ceasefire negotiations, al-Dali said it was made clear that no discussion regarding captive-related matters will occur unless three key conditions are met: a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the entry of aid according to the humanitarian protocol agreed upon in January, and clear guarantees to halt the aggression against Gaza, with negotiations continuing beyond the sixty-day period without a return to attacks on the territory.

The Resistance affairs analyst stressed that Hamas has made it unequivocally clear: negotiations cannot proceed based on maps that include provisions for Israeli forces to remain in parts of Gaza or for the forced displacement of Rafah's residents, whether northward or outside Gaza.

Al-Dali noted that the leaked maps have caused frustration in "Israel" and the US, as they revealed Netanyahu's true intentions: avoiding any meaningful withdrawal while pushing for a prisoner agreement without offering substantial political compromises, a stance now laid bare before mediators.
