Hamas needs two to three days “at most” to respond to United States President Donald Trump’s proposal for peace between the organization and Israel, AFP reported on Wednesday. According to a person familiar with the matter, the group is currently discussing potential amendments to the draft, particularly those referring to disarmament. The source added that Hamas consulted Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar on the matter. Previously, it was reported that Hamas was likely to reject the point of the deal that requested the disarmament of the group in exchange for amnesty.
Zelensky warns of ‘critical situation’ at Zaporizhzhia
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has entered its seventh day in emergency conditions following Russian shelling. Writing on Telegram, he described the situation as “critical,” stressing that the facility has been cut off from the power grid and is running on diesel generators, one of which has already failed.
Zelensky accused Russia of blocking repairs to the power lines needed to restore basic safety at the site. He warned that no other country had ever treated a nuclear facility in such a way and called it a threat to everyone.
He said he had instructed the energy ministry, alongside the foreign ministry, to urgently draw international attention to the risks posed by the prolonged disruption at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant.

OPEC Rejects Media Reports of Major Output Hike Ahead of G8 Meet
OPEC has slammed the brake on speculation, flatly rejecting media reports that the G8 is preparing to hike crude oil production by half a million barrels per day. In a statement from Vienna on Tuesday, the
OPEC Secretariat called the claims “wholly inaccurate and misleading,” stressing that discussions among ministers for the upcoming meeting haven’t even begun yet.
The statement, which reads more like a hostile rebuke, targets earlier media reports that suggested that OPEC+ was weighing a much larger oil production increase for November–reports that have already sent oil prices lower.
Just hours before OPEC’s pushback, Reuters reported that OPEC+ was weighing a hefty November supply boost of as much as 500,000 bpd. This would be well above the 137,000 bpd production hike that is already scheduled for October. The idea, Reuters sources had suggested earlier, was that OPEC was going to attempt to claw back market share from fast-rising non-OPEC producers and reinforce the group’s relevance.
But OPEC+ has been missing its own targets for months. Despite announcing supply increases between April and August, the group only delivered about 75% of the promised volumes. Some members simply don’t have the spare capacity to ramp up, while others are still repaying previous overproduction through “compensation cuts.” In reality, only a handful of countries—mainly Saudi Arabia and the UAE—have meaningful flexibility.
Analysts have been pointing out that much of OPEC+’s recent posturing is more psychological than physical. Yes, the quotas are rising—but the actual barrels aren’t. That suggests that even a half-million-barrel “increase” may not fully materialize, especially if politically fragile producers like Nigeria, Angola, or Iraq struggle to keep up.
For now, the group’s message is unmistakable. OPEC wants the market to stop trading on rumors. Whether that signals a real internal rift or just a tactical effort to kill off speculation before it moves prices, OPEC is fighting to control the narrative as much as the market.
Katz: Israel about to seize key Gaza corridor
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Wednesday that the military is completing the takeover of the Netzarim Corridor, a strategic route that effectively splits Gaza into two. “This will tighten the encirclement around Gaza City,” Katz said, adding that movement southward will now require passing through IDF inspection checkpoints. He urged civilians to leave, calling it “the last chance” for residents to evacuate. “Those who remain in Gaza will be terrorists and terror supporters,” the minister warned. The corridor’s capture is expected to isolate Hamas fighters in the north as Israeli operations continue despite awaiting the group’s response to the peace plan.
HAMAS IS HEADED FOR A SAD END
Trump gives Hamas ‘3 or 4 days’ to agree to White House proposal or face a ‘sad end’
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would give Hamas “three or four days” to respond to his proposal to end the nearly two-year-long war in Gaza.The president released a 20-point plan Monday during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has already agreed. It calls for Hamas to disarm, return all the hostages within 72 hours and relinquish control of power. A diplomat briefed on the matter and granted anonymity to describe the sensitive situation said Qatari and Egyptian officials presented Hamas negotiators with the proposal but there was no timeline for a Hamas response. The negotiators need to communicate it with people in Gaza, the diplomat said, which could take hours or days, depending on the situation on the ground. Trump on Tuesday told reporters outside the White House the U.S.-designated terrorist group has “not much” room to negotiate. “Hamas is either going to be doing it or it’s not, and if it’s not, it’s going to be a sad end,” Trump said. Netanyahu on Monday promised that Israel would “finish the job” should Hamas not agree, and Trump on Tuesday said he would allow Israel to “go and do what they have to do.”

Trump: We are under invasion from within
US President Donald Trump described the country as facing what he called an “invasion from within,” warning that internal threats are as significant as those from abroad. Addressing top military leaders in Virginia on Tuesday, Trump said the danger is more complex than fighting a foreign enemy because “they don’t wear uniforms.” He claimed his administration is stopping the threat quickly after what he described as “trillions” spent on national defense. Trump pointed to his past military intervention in Washington, saying it made the city safer, and pledged further increases in the defense budget. He highlighted plans to raise salaries for soldiers and other members of the armed forces, framing the measures as part of a broader effort to strengthen security at home while continuing to protect US borders.
Trump: Israel to do what it must if Hamas rejects deal
United States President Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that Israel “will do what it has to do” if Hamas rejects the 20-point peace deal he proposed.

Saar uncertain about Hamas accepting deal
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar expressed on Tuesday his uncertainty about whether Hamas will accept the peace plan that the United States created and his country accepted. “We know, according to the past, that they usually want to open and close, try changing the terms, and to escape from implementing. But we will see,” Saar said at a press conference during a diplomatic visit to Belgrade. He stressed that Israel remains committed to its goals – to eliminate Hamas, which is aligned with the US’s peace plan. Additionally, Saar claimed that Hamas is “solely responsible” for the fact that the conflict in Gaza has not ended yet. Earlier in the week, US President Donald Trump presented a 20-point peace plan for Gaza, which envisions ending the conflict, Hamas laying down weapons in exchange for amnesty, and the strip being ruled by a transitional body, among other developments.

Qatar: Too early to speculate on Gaza plan outcome
Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said on Tuesday that Hamas officials received the full text of United States President Donald Trump’s proposed Gaza peace plan, with internal meetings being scheduled for today to evaluate the proposal. Al-Ansari stressed it is “too early to speculate on the outcome” but described Qatar’s stance as “upbeat,” noting that the plan appears to be “comprehensive” in scope. He added that Doha continues to play a mediating role, and that Turkey “now stands as part of the US initiative.” He also confirmed on Tuesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued an apology to the Gulf State for the attack on the Hamas delegation.

White House unveils 20-point plan to end Gaza war
The White House unveiled on Monday US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan to end the Gaza war, proposing an immediate ceasefire and a framework for US-brokered dialogue between Israel and Palestinians for long-term coexistence.
“If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen,” the draft showed. “There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors.”
Under the agreement, Israel will free 1,700 inmates and 250 prisoners serving life sentences in exchange for the return of all hostages, both living and dead. Residents of Gaza are free to remain, depart, or return to the enclave and Israel will not annex or occupy the territory, the document added.
