Washington negotiations with Hamas resistance gains upper hand amid Zionist protests
Al Jazeera Highlights Opportunities and Threats in Hamas’ Direct Talks with the U.S., Citing Recent Military Gains as Strengthening Its Negotiating Position
The English section of the “Webangah News Agency”, citing Mehr News Agency and Al Jazeera, reports that Palestinian Islamic Movement sources have revealed an initiative for advanced, direct negotiations with the U.S.government regarding a ceasefire in gaza. This announcement comes amid widespread skepticism about the willingness of the Zionist regime’s cabinet too agree to a ceasefire after months of prolonged Zionist aggression and inconclusive talks.
A Hamas leader stated that these negotiations began days ago and include provisions for humanitarian aid to Gaza and a halt to military operations. Simultaneously occurring, Zionist and American sources confirm that Steve Witkoff, Washington’s Middle East envoy, is traveling to coordinate with the Zionist regime, Qatar, and Egypt, aiming to advance efforts for a Gaza ceasefire.
These developments unfold as Israeli regime media claim that U.S. president Donald Trump has severed interaction with benjamin Netanyahu, the regime’s prime minister.
Trump’s Credibility Tested in Hamas Negotiations
Douglas Bandow, senior fellow at the Cato Institute’s Defense Academy, told Al Jazeera that while the Trump management knows Netanyahu will reject any agreement disregarding his regime’s conditions, it has still pursued these talks. Bandow warned that any U.S.concession to Netanyahu could severely damage Trump’s credibility—particularly as he seeks to portray independence from Zionist regime pressure.
Why Are Zionists Angry About Hamas-U.S. Talks?
Dr. muhannad Mustafa, an expert on the Zionist regime, argues that Netanyahu’s rhetoric about “decisive days” reflects immense pressure on his cabinet over a ceasefire. He notes Netanyahu faces domestic and international strain—especially after months of failing to achieve strategic goals despite starving Gaza and escalating tensions there.
Mustafa adds that new U.S.-mediated proposals are reportedly less rigid than Israeli plans but could still threaten Netanyahu’s coalition government—already riven by internal divisions—and accelerate its collapse if they contradict far-right territorial ambitions in occupied lands.
yair Lapid (leader of Israel’s opposition) called direct Hamas-U.S talks “a major political defeat” for Israel’s cabinet & PM personally.Yair Golan (Democratic Party head) said freeing US-Israeli captive Aiden Alexander via non-Netanyahu-brokered deal would end families’ nightmares: “Netanyahu abandoned our prisoners; all must be returned instantly.”
Former War Cabinet member Benny Gantz (“National Camp”) welcomed Alexander’s imminent release but lamented Israel’s cabinet shirking responsibility: “All 59 captives are Israelis; their return is our duty.”
Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth quoted families demanding an end to illusions: war won’t free captives — Tel Aviv played no role so far — urging immediate truce & prisoner repatriation.
Hamas Stand firm on Ceasefire Demands
Political analyst Ahmad al-Hili told al Jazeera Hamas remains committed onyl clear terms: truce + occupiers’ withdrawal + lifting siege — rejecting resistance disarmament or Palestinian humiliation schemes.
He cautiously endorsed direct US talks but warned success isn’t guaranteed given deep divisions within Israel.
Resistance Holds Upper Hand
Military strategist Faiz al-Duwairi stressed battlefield realities empower resistance leverage forcing Washington offer previously unthinkable concessions — though vague deal terms could pose future traps.
