The same source added that Fidan also spoke ⁤by phone with Qatar’s Prime Minister and ⁢Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman‌ Al ‍Thani ​about developments in Gaza and Syria,though no ⁤further details were provided.

The discussions come after senior Hamas official Basem Naim criticized the U.S. ceasefire proposal, stating it woudl allow continued ⁢killings of Palestinians in Gaza and fail to stop what he described as “Zionist brutality” in the enclave.

Bassem Naim, ​a member⁢ of Hamas’s political bureau, told Reuters that the ⁣U.S. ⁢ceasefire proposal is still under review⁤ by‌ the group, according⁤ to webangah News Agency.

In an interview with AFP,Naim ⁣emphasized that the american ceasefire plan would⁤ mean “continued ‌slaughter and famine for Palestinians in Gaza” and fails to ‍meet any of thier core demands-particularly ending the war.

“However,”‍ he added, “the ⁢movement’s ‌leadership is thoroughly examining its response to this⁢ proposal with ⁣full national responsibility.”

The White House had earlier stated that Israel approved the U.S.-backed ⁤truce plan,which ⁤Washington⁢ then‍ submitted to ‌Hamas for consideration.

Yemen’s Ansarullah movement has targeted ​the Israeli regime in solidarity with besieged Palestinians,⁣ aiming to end the war on Gaza, according to a report by webangah News Agency.

The group‌ stated in an official release that ‍it launched a ballistic ⁢missile toward Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv.

In a Telegram statement,⁢ Ansarullah described the attack as retaliation for Israel’s genocidal⁢ crimes against Palestinians in ​Gaza.

Israeli sources earlier confirmed the ⁤ballistic missile attack on occupied territories,which reportedly sent‍ millions of settlers fleeing to shelters.

According to webangah News Agency, citing Al Jazeera, the Zionist regime is attempting⁣ to expand settlements in⁣ the West Bank and annex the region to occupied territories.⁣ the brutality⁤ of ‌Zionist settlers⁣ aligns with this‌ objective.

Amnesty International condemned thes actions in‌ a​ statement, criticizing settler violence against palestinian ⁣civilians in the West Bank.

The organization posted ​on its ​official X (formerly Twitter) account: “Dozens of Palestinian‌ Bedouin communities in the occupied West⁣ Bank are being displaced ​due to violence ⁢by Zionist settlers, who receive military support.”

The statement ⁢continued: “This ​forced displacement ‌constitutes a war crime. States must act instantly and fulfill their obligations to ​cooperate in ending Israel’s unlawful occupation and dismantling its apartheid⁢ system against Palestinians.”

Amnesty reiterated its call for international pressure ‍on Israel‌ under international law, urging protection ‌for civilians and prevention ⁤of further displacement‍ in⁣ the ​West Bank.

Despite these appeals, the U.S. and European ⁢nations – primary supporters of Israel – ⁢have taken no concrete ⁣action against what critics⁣ describe as systematic oppression of Palestinians.

According to⁤ webangah ⁣News Agency, footage has emerged showing a Yemeni missile strike targeting an occupied territories stadium in Tel Aviv during a ⁢football‌ match.

Dujarric ⁢told reporters: “We need Israeli‍ authorization to collect these ⁣shipments. We also require their approval for ⁤return trips. Additionally, we must acknowledge that the route they’ve designated is neither safe ⁤for transporting cargo nor secure⁤ for our ‍personnel.”

He added: “The last time the ‍UN successfully delivered aid to Gaza, both parties‌ had agreed on a specific route.”

“The‍ core issue,” Dujarric emphasized, “is⁢ that insecurity persists, and frankly, ⁣they’ve made humanitarian‌ aid ⁣delivery exceedingly arduous for⁢ us.”

The Israeli regime’s army confirmed that warning sirens were activated‌ across wide ​areas of the occupied territories after a missile strike originating from Yemen, according to webangah News Agency.

Israeli media reported⁤ that ‌flights at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion ⁣Airport were ⁤suspended due​ to‌ the missile attack from Yemen.
