PNN – Axios claimed that the US government is secretly negotiating with the Palestinian resistance to release Zionist prisoners and reach a lasting ceasefire.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the American news website “Axios” wrote in a report titled “Secret US Negotiations with Hamas,” quoting two informed sources: The Donald Trump administration is holding direct talks with Hamas about the release of American prisoners in Gaza and the possibility of reaching a larger agreement to end the war.
Axios wrote, referring to Hamas being on the US terrorist list and Washington cutting off ties with the Palestinian group since 1997: These negotiations, which are being chaired by Adam Buehler, the US President’s special representative for American prisoners in Gaza, are unprecedented.
The American media outlet wrote: A meeting between Hamas representatives and the US government was held in Doha, the capital of Qatar, in recent weeks.

According to the report, the Trump administration has consulted with the Israeli regime about the possibility of establishing contact with Hamas, but the regime has learned about aspects of the negotiations through other channels.
Axios wrote: The talks include the release of 59 Israeli prisoners, including five Americans, one of whom is reportedly alive.
The Western media outlet also announced the suspension of the negotiations, adding: The trip of another US representative to Doha for negotiations was canceled immediately after the negotiations with Hamas were inconclusive.
Axios wrote: 35 Israeli prisoners have lost their lives in the past, and Israel believes that 22 remaining prisoners are alive.
According to this report, the White House and the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office have not yet responded to the Axios report.
The 42-day ceasefire that was part of the Gaza deal has ended, with the parties unable to agree on an extension. The occupation regime has stopped all humanitarian aid to Gaza, and the humanitarian situation in Gaza is critical, with nearly 1.9 million Palestinians displaced and famine looming.
