<div class="field field-field-text"><p style="line-height:1.38">As a fragile ceasefire takes hold in Gaza between <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israel</a> and Hamas, another military actor in the region has also apparently halted hostilities: the Houthis in <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/yemen" target="_blank">Yemen</a>.</p>
<p>Its leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi reportedly <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/houthis-halt-attacks-israel-and-commercial-ships" target="_blank">ordered</a> fighters to stop the attacks on Israel and Israeli-linked ships, which the group had carried out intermittently for two years.</p>
<p>The halt would only hold as long as Israel continued to observe the ceasefire in Gaza, a source told <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/saudi-arabia" target="_blank">Saudi</a> media. </p>
<p>That condition underscores a position of strength: the Houthis have consistently carried out attacks in solidarity with <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinians</a> without the need to negotiate with Israel - directly or indirectly - about a truce.</p>
<p>Across two years of Israeli wars in the region and the genocide in Gaza, a number of groups have taken up arms in response.</p>
<p>That includes Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, Hezbollah in <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/lebanon" target="_blank">Lebanon</a>, the Houthis in Yemen, and <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/iran" target="_blank">Iran</a>. </p>
<p>All these groups, including Israel itself, have suffered immensely. The conflict has taken its toll militarily and economically, as well as in terms of devastating civilian harm.</p>
<p>While the war has raised existential questions around the future role of some of these groups, like Hamas and Hezbollah, the de facto government in Yemen has in fact increased in relevance. </p>
<p>Its steadfastness in its attacks on Israel and international shipping, analysts have told Middle East Eye, made the world sit up and take notice, and gave the group a narrative victory both at home and abroad.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/egypt" target="_blank">Egypt</a> and <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/qatar" target="_blank">Qatar</a>, alongside <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/tags/hamas" target="_blank">Hamas</a>, are using "all means available" to secure the release of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvNoaSSxUXg" target="_blank">Marwan Barghouti</a> as part of the Gaza ceasefire agreement between the group and Israel, three sources informed on the negotiations have told Middle East Eye. </p>
<p>The long-imprisoned Palestinian political leader is on a list โof around one hundred senior Palestinian prisonersโ being discussed ahead of the second phase of the truce deal, a source close to the negotiations said.</p>
<p>โMarwan alongside [a] few others are at the top of that list,โ said the source, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the details.</p>
<p>Hamas leaders told a second source that Barghouti's release was "the primary goal" for the group in the deal and that they believed they had the leverage to pressure the Israelis to do so, but that it would not be decided until the second phase of negotiations when the release of Israeli soldiers is also on the table.</p>
<p>Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani and Major General Hassan Mahmoud Rashad, the director of Egypt's General Intelligence Services, have personally interceded to push for his release, they said.</p>

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The head of the Hamas political bureau Khalil al-Hayya on Tuesday <a href="https://alqaheranews.net/news/143829/ุฎููู-ุงูุญูุฉ-ููุฏ-ุญู
ุงุณ-ุฌุงุก-ุฅูู-ุดุฑู

<p>Speaking from the coastal Egyptian town of Sharm el-Sheikh where a second day of talks with mediators wrapped up, Hayya said the Israelis have already reneged on ongoing ceasefire deals twice before: First in December 2023 after one week, and then again in March 2025, after six weeks. </p>
<p>The international community, the Arab and Muslim nations, and especially the US must act as a guarantor to any ceasefire deal that is agreed in order to ensure Israeli compliance, Hayya stressed.</p>
<p>Hamas, he said, is ready for a full exchange of captives from both sides along with a permanent ceasefire that allows Palestinians to safely and securely rebuild the battered enclave, and sees the Israeli army withdraw from its positions. </p>
