 Rebels to withdraw from key DR Congo town 'after US request' The M23 rebel group has said it would withdraw from the eastern DR Congo town of Uvira at the request of the US administration, which had criticised seizure of the town last week as a threat to mediation efforts. The rebels entered Uvira, on the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met with US President Donald Trump in Washington and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords.

 Hamas Official Says Group is ‘Ready’ for Gaza Ceasefire, Calls on Trump to ‘Pressure’ Israel


A senior Hamas official declared on Friday that the group is prepared to agree to a ceasefire in Gaza, provided that a proposal is put forward and Israel honors it.

Naim explained that Hamas would accept any ceasefire plan that leads to a definitive halt in hostilities, a military withdrawal from Gaza, the return of displaced people, a prisoner exchange, and the entry of humanitarian aid for reconstruction. These demands echo those Hamas has made in previous ceasefire discussions.


Naim’s comments followed Qatar's announcement that it was suspending its role as a mediator in the ceasefire talks, citing a lack of "seriousness" from both Hamas and Israel. Meanwhile, the war, which began after Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, has resulted in heavy casualties on both sides.
