Hamas has issued a statement warning Gaza residents of Israel's 'psychological warfare,' claiming that Israel is using political, media, and military means to break their morale and distance them from the 'resistance.

Hamas has endorsed a new proposal for a ceasefire deal with Israel in Gaza, as it faces pressure from Arab countries and seeks to ensure its own survival.

Israeli defense minister Israel Katz threatened to turn Gaza City "into Rafah and Beit Hanoun," meaning leaving it in ruins, unless the militant group Hamas agrees to Israel's conditions for ending the war.

Hamas has agreed to a cease-fire proposal calling for the terror group to free more than half of the remaining hostages in Gaza, including 10 living captives, in exchange for a 60-day truce,

The proposition the militant group said it agreed to was nearly the same as one that had been offered by Israel last month.

The Gaza ceasefire proposal Hamas accepted on Monday - with an Israeli response expected by the end of the week - is for a 60-day truce, a phased release of hostages, Israeli troop pullouts from parts of Gaza,

It was unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel was on board with the terms, which came as Qatar and Egypt were intensifying mediation efforts.

Hamas said that Israel's plan to relocate residents from Gaza City constitutes a "new wave of genocide and displacement" for hundreds of thousands.

Former Hamas insider Musab Hassan Yousuf, known as the 'Green Prince,' warns that partial hostage deals will only prolong Hamas rule, compares Hamas to 'the new Nazis,' and urges world Jewry to unite around Israel.
