The Federation of Arab Journalists has condemned the crimes carried out by the Israeli occupation forces against journalists in Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine.

In a statement, it called on all Arab countries to support journalists in these three nations to expose Israeli crimes to the global public.

According to SPA, the federation expressed its full solidarity with journalists in these countries.

It also urged international media organizations, the UN Security Council, and international human rights organizations to condemn the blatant aggression and the war of extermination being waged by the Israeli army against journalists in these countries and provide protection for them.

Hamas and two other Palestinian militant groups said on Saturday that a Gaza ceasefire deal with Israel is "closer than ever", provided Israel does not impose new conditions.

"The possibility of reaching an agreement (for a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange deal) is closer than ever, provided the enemy stops imposing new conditions," Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said in a rare joint statement issued after talks in Cairo on Friday.

Last week, indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States were held in Doha, rekindling hope of an agreement.

A Hamas leader told AFP on Saturday that talks had made "significant and important progress" in recent days.

"Most points related to the ceasefire and prisoner exchange issues have been agreed upon," he said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak publicly on the issue.

"Some unresolved points remain, but they do not hinder the process. The agreement could be finalized before the end of this year, provided it is not disrupted by (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu's new conditions."
