After deadly Israeli attacks, Hamas official discusses ceasefire with mediators
Khalil al-Hayya, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, has denounced Israel’s “almost daily” violations of the truce deal in his discussions with mediating nations.
Al-Hayya held talks with mediators and unnamed “international parties” after Israel killed more than 30 Palestinians in multiple air raids in southern and central Gaza over the past day.
He condemned Israel’s “crimes and massacres” in Gaza, adding the ongoing deadly attacks are being conducted under “false pretexts and lies”.
Hamas’s commitment to the teetering truce requires compelling Israel to meet its obligations under the agreement, he said.

Turkiye demands Israel comply with Gaza truce after deadly attacks
The Turkish Foreign Ministry has “strongly” condemned Israel’s latest attacks on the Strip and repeated ceasefire violations, stressing the ongoing killing and restrictions threaten to derail the deal.
A statement on X said: “These attacks – conducted at a time when the peace process in Gaza has entered a new phase – threaten international efforts aimed at establishing calm, and stability and once again demonstrate that Israel does not seek peace in the region.”
The ministry reiterated “the need to ensure that Israel complies with all provisions of the Peace Plan adopted by a UN Security Council resolution”.
The statement comes after a series of Israeli air raids on Gaza killed more than 30 people across the enclave, marking one of the bloodiest days for Palestinians there since the fragile “ceasefire” entered into force on October 10, 2025.
