A senior Hamas official said on Sunday that the Islamist group has not withdrawn from ceasefire talks with Israel after this weekend's deadly attacks in Gaza that Israel said had targeted the group's military leader Mohammed Deif.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son, Yair Netanyahu, alluded to concerns of a betrayal theory surrounding October 7 on all his social media accounts late Sunday night.

“What are they trying to hide?” he wrote, sharing a screenshot of an article from Maariv reporting that the High Court of Justice announced it was freezing the State Comptroller’s probe of the IDF’s October 7 failures until at least some time when a hearing on the dispute will be held in July, and possibly for much longer.

Indeed, the High Court has refused to freeze the comptroller's report in the past, but the IDF and the Shin Bet did not cooperate with him this time despite being required to by law.

“If there was no betrayal, why are they so afraid that external and independent parties will investigate what happened?” he continued. “To this day, no answer has been received as to why the prime minister was not updated about the call held the night before October 7?”

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has said Warsaw is considering a proposal from Kyiv to shoot down Russian missiles heading towards Polish territory while they are still in Ukrainian airspace.

The proposal was included in a joint defence agreement between the two countries signed during President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Warsaw earlier this week.

"At this stage, this is an idea. What our agreement said is we will explore this idea,” Mr Sikorski told the American Enterprise Institute in Washington.

He said some Russian missiles fired from the St Petersburg area towards Ukrainian targets near the western city of Lviv, not far from the Polish border, traversed Belarus and entered Polish airspace for about 40 seconds before turning towards their targets in Ukraine.

Israeli air strikes on the al-Mawasi camp in southern Gaza have killed at least 90 people and wounded 300 others, according to Palestinian health officials.

The attack on Saturday on the Israeli-designated “safe zone”, located west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, involved fighter jets and drones, according to witnesses.

Israeli officials have said the attack targeted two senior members of Hamas’s military wing, claiming they were hiding among civilians.

Hamas has dismissed this claim as “false”, saying it is a way of covering up the “horrific massacre” at a location where displaced Palestinians were urged to seek shelter after receiving orders to evacuate their homes elsewhere in the Strip.

Here’s everything you need to know about the attack and its aftermath:

A Hamas political official said Friday that the Palestinian militant group is still insisting on written guarantees from mediators in the ongoing cease-fire negotiations that Israel will not resume the war after the first group of Israeli hostages held in Gaza are released.

While the two sides have agreed on a general framework for a deal, the main sticking point remains that Hamas wants it to result in a permanent cease-fire, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that any agreement “must allow Israel to return to fighting until all the objectives of the war are achieved.”

Ahmed Abdul-Hadi, the head of Hamas’ political office in Lebanon, said Hamas has been “flexible” on some points but continues to insist that “negotiations should continue for a permanent cease-fire until a permanent cease-fire is reached,” as opposed to the wording in the current proposal, under which the cease-fire should continue as long as negotiations continue.
