A Hamas official, speaking in Tehran on October 6th, 2025, outlined the group's "red lines" for negotiations. These include a ceasefire, complete withdrawal of occupation forces from Gaza, opening of crossings, humanitarian aid access, and rebuilding the Strip. This official stated that after these objectives are achieved, Hamas will pursue political solutions and prisoner swaps, according to N12. This statement comes as a Greek government-issued aircraft, carrying 27 flotilla participants including Greta Thunberg, departed Ramon Airport for Athens at approximately 12:04 PM UTC on October 6th. The participants, including those who had been in Gaza, were facilitated in their return by the Greek government. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the deportation of approximately 171 participants, which included Thunberg, upheld their legal rights. In separate military activity reported on October 6th, 2025, Israeli troops in Gaza City dismantled stockpiles of long-range rockets, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced. The IDF stated that the rockets were safely neutralized and that troops also discovered caches of weapons and military equipment prepared for an attack on central Israel.
