"The more Hamas persists in its stubbornness and refuses to release our captives, the stronger and harsher the pressure we will apply.

โ—๏ธNational and Islamic Action factions in Gaza:

โ€“ "We call on our people to remain vigilant and cautious against the occupation's attempts to fragment the internal front, and emphasize the need to maintain national unity and exercise awareness to confront hostile schemes.

โ€“ We urge the international community to intervene to stop Israeli policies for which our people are paying a heavy price, and to protect the rights of Palestinians.

โ€“ We stress the need to stand against any attempt to threaten national unity or incite against the resistance, as our people are the most capable of confronting the occupation's plans."

โ—๏ธSenior Hamas official Bassem Naim:

โ€“ "Communications with mediators are still ongoing in an effort to reach a framework or proposal to resolve the current crisis.

โ€“ The movement is approaching all new proposals with full responsibility, positivity, and flexibilityโ€”on the condition that any agreement must ultimately lead to ending the war and the withdrawal of occupying forces.

โ€“ No one will accept an agreement that amounts to a โ€œtemporary calm, with hostages exchanged for food and water,โ€ only for war and displacement plans to resume under new pretexts.

โ€“ What is happening in the occupied West Bankโ€”killings, displacement, and land annexationโ€”is clear evidence that the issue is not with Gaza or its resistance, but with the enemyโ€™s broader plan to erase all Palestinian presence and rights in their homeland."

โญ•๏ธ Since Israel resumed its assault on Gaza on 18 March, at least 830 Palestinians have been killed and 1,787 injured, bringing the total death toll since 7 October, 2023, to 50,183, with over 113,800 injured, according to the Ministry of Health.

In the past 24 hours alone, 39 were killed and 124 wounded, while many bodies remain trapped under rubble due to the lack of rescue capacity. A new massacre in Jabalia al-Balad killed 11, including a mother and five children, as the Israeli army continues ground operations and seizes territory in northern and central Gaza.

The ongoing blockade has caused critical shortages of food and fuel, with flour expected to run out by the end of March, threatening a wider famine. The Ministry also warned of a collapse in the healthcare system amid widespread destruction and severe shortages of essential medicine.
