steadfastness.

The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, affirmed on Tuesday that after 640
days of the genocidal war, the Israeli occupation has

failed
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/abu-obeida-threatens-more-israeli-losses-after-beit-hanoun-o>
in its objectives to break Gaza’s morale or suppress its armed resistance.

In a statement, the movement declared that slogans of "total defeat" and
"complete eradication" have collapsed in the face of Resistance tunnels and
ambushes, which continue to defy the occupation's military advances.
'Illusion of captives' retrieval by force has collapsed'

Hamas stated that the illusion of freeing captives by force has been
shattered

by the Resistance’s ongoing strikes and upper hand on the battlefield,
emphasizing that Gideon military vehicles were destroyed with their crews
inside and that Resistance fighters continue to confront the occupation
forces despite the siege and starvation policy imposed by the Israeli
occupation.

The group added that "the occupation now openly admits its inability to
both liberate its captives and defeat the resistance, as all its invasion
routes have turned into fields of death."

Hamas also addressed "Israel's" plans for forced expulsion and ethnic
cleansing, stating they were thwarted by the steadfastness of the
Palestinian people and their refusal to accept political or intelligence
dictates.

Concluding its statement, Hamas described the military, political, and
moral failure of the occupation as a direct refutation of its propaganda,
reiterating that the struggle with the occupation remains a battle of
awareness, will, and patience.

Ceasefire talks stall once more

This comes as efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza stalled once again
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/gaza-ceasefire-talks-end-with--no-breakthrough---to-resume-i>
on Monday, as indirect negotiations between "Israel" and Hamas ended their
morning session in Doha without any breakthrough, according to a
Palestinian official speaking to *AFP*, with talks set to resume later in
the evening.

The negotiations, mediated by Qatar and Egypt and backed by the United
States, aim to end the 21-month Israeli war on Gaza. Despite renewed
urgency ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Washington
visit, progress remained slow.

“No breakthrough was achieved in the morning

negotiation session, but the talks will continue, and Hamas hopes to reach
an agreement,” the Palestinian official said, requesting anonymity due to
the sensitivity of the discussions.

According to Palestinian sources cited by *Reuters*, "Israel’s" ongoing
refusal to allow the free and safe entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza is
now the main obstacle to progress in the Doha talks. This humanitarian
bottleneck has become a central sticking point, alongside disagreements
over a permanent ceasefire and prisoner releases.
