More and more Palestinians are calling on Hamas to step down and end the war with Israel that has devastated their home land, with the terror group allegedly executing its critics, according to

Hamas said it was prepared to coordinate with the Red Cross to deliver aid to hostages it holds in Gaza, if Israel meets certain conditions.

Hamas' meetings with Egyptian officials will focus on ways to stop the war, deliver aid, and "end the suffering of our people in Gaza," Hamas official Taher al-Nono said in a statement.

Israel should accept the reality that it can’t eliminate Hamas before global support for its actions collapse and shift its strategy accordingly.

Hamas held talks with Egyptian mediators over a potential ceasefire while Israel struck Gaza's main city prior to a planned takeover.

Amid mass starvation in Gaza, the U.S. ambassador to Israel said Hamas leaders aren't experiencing the famine-like conditions civilians are enduring.

Dozens were arrested in Israel as protesters gathered outside politician's homes, military headquarters and on major highways to demand the Israeli government strike a deal for the release of hostages held in Gaza.

As Israel expands operations in the enclave, Gazans increasingly voice defiance against Hamas, with dissenters risking their lives to demand freedom from the group’s grip.
