Hamas said Friday that it has accepted some elements of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in the Gaza Strip, including giving up power and releasing all remaining hostages, but that others require further consultations among Palestinians. The statement came hours after Trump said that Hamas must agree to the deal by Sunday evening, threatening an even greater military onslaught nearly two years into the war sparked by the Oct. 7 attack into Israel. It was unclear how the U.S. and Israel would respond to partial acceptance. The statement also made no mention of Hamas disarming, a key Israeli demand including in Trump's proposal.

Truck drivers delivering aid in Gaza say their work has become increasingly dangerous. Since Israel ended a ceasefire with Hamas in March, the situation has worsened. Hungry crowds often rip aid from moving trucks and armed gangs hijack them to sell the aid at high prices. Drivers have been killed in the chaos. Israel has made recent moves to allow more aid into Gaza. But drivers say it's still not enough and the situation remains extremely dangerous. Some drivers have quit due to the risks. The U.N. says flooding Gaza with aid could ease the desperation and improve drivers' safety.

The U.N. human rights office is citing possible war crimes by Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups in connection with a deadly raid by Israeli forces that freed four hostages over the weekend. Office spokesman Jeremy Laurence expressed concerns about possible violations of rules of proportionality, distinction and precaution by the Israeli forces in Saturday's raid at the urban Nuseirat refugee camp. Palestinian health officials say at least 274 Palestinians, including dozens of women and children, were killed in the operation. Laurence said Palestinian armed groups who are holding hostages in densely populated areas are putting the lives of nearby civilians and the hostages at "added risks" from the hostilities.
