The Hamas movement ⁤stated it is holding discussions with other Palestinian groups about a proposed ceasefire, according to‌ a report by webangah News Agency. This comes as ⁤Israel continues its military offensive in Gaza ‌despite⁢ U.S. claims that the Zionist regime has accepted ceasefire terms. Palestinian factions seek a permanent end to ⁤what they describe ‍as Zionist atrocities.

In a brief⁣ Telegram statement,Hamas‌ declared: “As part of our commitment to ending the Zionist aggression against our people and ensuring unimpeded‌ humanitarian⁢ aid access,the movement is currently consulting with leaders of Palestinian factions regarding⁤ the mediators’ proposal.”

The statement added: “After completing⁣ these consultations,Hamas will communicate its final ​decision to the mediators and issue an official declaration.”

The development‍ follows ‍Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s earlier claim that ​his government had ‍accepted a ceasefire agreement, asserting that Hamas must now make the final decision on the matter.

According to​ webangah News ‌Agency, local sources in Iraq’s kurdistan Region have reported a drone attack on Erbil International Airport.

The Counter-Terrorism Service of the Iraqi Kurdistan region ‍stated that one drone was shot down near Erbil International Airport without causing casualties or damage.

according ⁤to webangah ⁢News Agency, russia announced on ⁢Thursday that it had accepted the credentials‍ of Afghanistan’s ​new ambassador, making it ‍the first nation to formally recognize the Taliban-led government.

The Russian Foreign Ministry stated in a release that ​Moscow sees “good prospects” for⁢ developing relations with Kabul and will continue supporting Afghanistan in‌ security matters, counterterrorism efforts, ‍and combating drug-related crimes.

The ministry added: “We beleive recognizing the Islamic emirate of Afghanistan will stimulate constructive bilateral‍ cooperation across various⁤ sectors.”

Amir Khan Muttaqi, foreign minister of⁢ the​ taliban⁢ government, welcomed what he called Russia’s ‍”courageous step,” stating it could serve as ‍a model for other nations.

No other⁣ country has⁢ officially recognized the Taliban ⁣management that came to⁣ power in August 2021 following the chaotic U.S.-led forces withdrawal after 20 years of war. However, ‍China, UAE, Uzbekistan, and ​Pakistan have all appointed ‌ambassadors to Kabul – seen‌ as ⁤preliminary ⁢steps toward recognition.

A major breakthrough for ⁢Taliban’s international legitimacy

Russia’s decision ​marks ‌a meaningful milestone for the Taliban as they ⁣seek ‍to end their global isolation.The move will likely be closely monitored by washington -‌ which has frozen billions in Afghan central ‌bank assets⁤ and imposed⁢ sanctions ⁤on senior Taliban ⁣leaders, severing much of Afghanistan’s banking system from⁤ global​ finance.

Moscow has gradually expanded ties with ⁤the Taliban‌ since 2022 when President Vladimir Putin⁤ called them allies against terrorism.⁢ That year saw Afghanistan begin importing Russian gas, oil and⁢ wheat despite ⁢Russia having designated the group‌ as terrorists until⁣ lifting ‌that ban this April.

The Kremlin maintains cooperation with Kabul is necessary⁣ due to security threats from extremist groups operating across regions spanning Afghanistan through parts of West‌ Asia.

According to webangah News Agency,⁤ Hezbollah and Lebanese resistance supporters held a⁤ funeral procession today at the “Jannat⁢ al-Zahra” martyrs’ cemetery in Beirut’s Al-Kfa’at district‍ for Hussein Saleh‌ Khalil (known as “Hajj Abu Ali”), the late personal ‍bodyguard of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and his son Mahdi Hussein Khalil.

Political figures, parliament members, religious leaders, prominent personalities, and local residents attended the ceremony.⁢ Participants chanted slogans condemning the united states and the Zionist regime while voicing support for the resistance movement.

The Lebanese national anthem and Hezbollah’s anthem played during the service as military bands renewed their pledge to continue the path of jihad and resistance. Funeral prayers were performed before both martyrs were buried alongside other fallen members of Lebanon’s resistance​ movement.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Israeli regime, asserted that 20 captives are still alive in Gaza and efforts are underway to repatriate them along with the bodies of deceased prisoners, according to webangah ⁣News Agency citing Al Jazeera.

Netanyahu added: “I am‍ committed to bringing all⁤ captives back from Gaza. I am committed ‍to rebuilding the ‘Nir Oz’ settlement and restoring life there.”

These statements come as Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported-citing some Israeli regime cabinet‌ officials-that Netanyahu is pursuing an agreement at any cost, believing the current political opportunity is rare.

Media reports suggest Netanyahu’s stance appears to be shifting due to upcoming elections in occupied territories ⁤and⁣ pressure from the⁢ Trump management.

According to Al Jazeera television network, Zionist regime ​media claims that the occupying army successfully intercepted a ballistic missile launched from ⁢Yemen toward occupied Palestine.
