The Doha negotiations between Washington and Tel Aviv, attended by Arab witnesses tasked with pressuring Hamas and coordinating with Tehran and Beirut to seek a delay in responding to the occupation entity, have unveiled an American-Israeli manoeuvre. This manoeuvre focused on revising President Joe Biden’s initiative to accommodate Benjamin Netanyahu’s demands, under the guise of bridging gaps and achieving a breakthrough. The real negotiation involved Washington and Tel Aviv, not the occupation entity and Hamas. Egyptian and Qatari mediators were assigned to pressure Hamas into accepting Netanyahu’s conditions, which Washington endorsed and branded as the Doha proposals. These proposals are set to become the Doha and Cairo documents next week. After the meetings concluded, the Egyptian Foreign Minister travelled to Beirut to request a delay in the resistance’s response to facilitate a potential agreement in Gaza. Similarly, the Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister contacted the Iranian Foreign Minister for the same purpose. However, Hamas quickly announced its stance, effectively disrupting the American strategy despite the success in mobilising Arab mediators.

Last night, a senior Hamas source stated, “After informing the mediators of the results from the Doha discussions, we have once again confirmed that the occupation does not seek an agreement.The occupation continues to manoeuvre and obstruct by insisting on adding new conditions to hinder the deal. We have also confirmed that the new American proposal aligns with the occupation’s demands and conforms to them. Therefore, we reaffirm our commitment to what we agreed upon on July 2nd, which is based on Biden’s declaration and the Security Council’s resolution. We urge the mediators to pressure the occupation to adhere to the agreed terms. Any agreement must ensure the cessation of aggression against our people and the withdrawal from Gaza. Furthermore, any agreement should include urgent humanitarian relief and a genuine deal for prisoner exchange”.

In frontline confrontations between the resistance and the occupation, with Lebanon at its centre, some leaders of the occupation are discussing the possibility of preemptive strikes. In response, the resistance revealed one of its missile facilities, named “Imad 4,” showcasing the massive tunnels, enormous trucks, large missiles, and huge boulders. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s voice echoes with talk of the immense resistance, and the axis’s imagery and sound suggest, “Your entity is in our sights,” and Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah statement concluded with “the clear smoke.” Many comments have interpreted the resistance’s reveal as part of a deterrence and psychological warfare strategy. The most striking comment came from the Sroojim website, which described it as “the Doomsday weapon.” In Damascus, Asaad Hardan, President of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, held a tour that included a meeting with party leaders. During the discussion, Hardan addressed the current phase and its challenges, affirming that those who stand with Syria take pride and are destined only for victory.
