Storyline: Hamas said in a statement on Friday night that it has delivered a "positive" response to mediators over a Gaza ceasefire proposal. On the same day, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ) said that the militant group had engaged in discussions with Hamas on the ceasefire and had presented detailed suggestions for its implementation. Hamas' response expressed sincerity, and the PIJ is willing to promote a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, according to the spokesperson. Despite Hamas' positive response, it proposed minor changes to the existing draft, the Times of Israel reported on the same day. Regarding humanitarian assistance, Hamas requested the withdrawal of the U.S.-run, Israeli-approved Gaza Humanitarian Fund from the region, advocating that the United Nations and other international organizations continue to oversee the aid distribution, according to the report. Hamas also demanded that the Israeli army retreat to the positions agreed upon by both sides in the last ceasefire. It also urged the negotiating mediators -- the United States, Qatar and Egypt -- to ensure that Israel will not initiate military operations against Gaza after the 60-day ceasefire expires and that both sides will continue negotiations aimed at achieving a permanent ceasefire, said the report. Hamas has not yet responded to the Israeli newspaper's report. Israel has received Hamas' response to the ceasefire proposal through relevant mediators and is currently reviewing its details, according to reports. It is expected to send a delegation to Doha for indirect negotiations with Hamas, according to a source. On Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that the Israeli air force had attacked about 100 militant targets in Gaza over the past 24 hours, while Israeli ground forces continued their operations against Hamas and other organizations in the region. The airstrikes targeted various locations, including rocket launchers, military buildings, weapons depots, and other infrastructure utilized by militants. The Palestinian death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 57,268, with 135,625 others injured, since the conflict between Hamas and Israel erupted on October 7, 2023, according to Gaza's health authorities on Friday. The death toll since March 18 when Israel resumed its military operations has reached 6,710, while the number of injured stands at 23,584. In the past 24 hours, 138 people have been killed, including 62 who died while attempting to access humanitarian aid. U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday urged Hamas to take the 60-day ceasefire deal, saying Israel has agreed to its necessary conditions. Shotlist: Gaza City, Gaza Strip - June 30, 2025: 1.
