Trump says 'No one is expelling any Palestinians' from Gaza

The publications about the outline for the return of only a few hostages raise serious concerns among the families of the hostages that their loved ones will be left in captivity for a long and unknown period,

the Hostages and Missing Families’ Forum said in a statement

Things are at a standstill.”

Asked for comment on reports of progress in the negotiations, Hamas spokesman Basem Naim said

We demand a comprehensive and immediate agreement that will return all 59 hostages in one fell swoop and leave no one behind,

it added

There is also the psychological situation of the people. Every day we have a new announcement from the Israelis about getting back to war. Most of the people now live on the rubble of their homes, in very critical humanitarian conditions. And day by day, we're losing the capacity to deal with these big needs,

Shawa told DW

We used to endure bombings and death. Now, there is poverty, high prices, exploitation, and harsh conditions that dominate our lives. My children can't attend school, and there's no functioning health care system if I fall ill. And the threat of war looms due to the absence of agreements [between Israel and Hamas],

Abu Daqqa told DW

What we have today is different from tomorrow, there's nothing we can plan for,

said Shawa

I don't know what to say. There is simply no life. There is nothing we don't struggle with,

Walaa Mahmoud, told DW by phone from Gaza City

We are already feeling the effects,

as Amjad Shawa, head of the Palestinian NGO network, told DW by phone from Gaza City

Humanitarian aid in Gaza is a lifeline for over two million Palestinians who have endured unimaginable conditions for many months. A sustained supply of aid is indispensable to their survival,

Muhannad Hadi, the UN's humanitarian coordinator, said in a statement on Monday

Until Avinathan returns, my heart is in captivity."

Former hostage Noa Argamni, who was rescued by the IDF from Hamas captivity, shared a post on her Instagram account following a new sign of life from hostage Avinathan Or, saying

We hope that the current round of negotiations leads to tangible progress toward beginning the second phase,

Shadid said

We urge regional states to collaborate in creating a future of stability and security in the region,

the statement concluded

There is an opportunity for the Gazans to have free choice based on their free will. This should be encouraged

the ministry stated

For the sake of peace and stability, Hamas can't be left in power,

the ministry said

The current proposal does not address the reality that Gaza is uninhabitable, and its residents cannot live there humanely when it is covered in rubble and unexploded bombs,

said Brian Hughes, spokesperson for the National Security Council

The statement remains rooted in outdated perspectives,

the ministry said

For 77 years, Arab states have used Palestinians as pawns against Israel, condemning them to eternal ‘refugee' status,

the statement read

President Trump stands behind his vision to rebuild Gaza without Hamas."

Hughes also reaffirmed Trump's stance on Gaza's future, stating

It cannot be the case that you can be disappeared at night, off the streets of New York city, simply because the current administration in the White House dislikes what you have to say,

Kassem said

Essentially they are a form of punishment and retaliation for the exercise of free speech,

he added
