Pakistan hails Hamas disarmament progress, under p…

Pakistan has welcomed recent progress under the Gaza Peace Plan, describing developments toward Hamas’ disarmament as a positive step that could help revive efforts for a lasting political solution and the creation of an independent Palestinian state.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised the mediation efforts of the United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye after US President Donald Trump announced that an agreement had been reached for the complete disarmament of Hamas. The announcement is viewed as a significant breakthrough in implementing the Gaza ceasefire framework, as the issue of Hamas’ weapons has remained one of the main obstacles since the truce was reached in October 2025.

In a statement shared on social media, the prime minister said Pakistan supports the ongoing work of the Board of Peace and expressed hope that all commitments under the Gaza Peace Plan would now move toward practical implementation. He emphasized that sustained diplomatic efforts should lead to a credible, time-bound political process in line with United Nations resolutions, ultimately ensuring the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination through the establishment of an independent state.

According to Hamas officials, a committee operating under the Board of Peace will supervise the storage of the group’s weapons as part of the agreed process. The organization has also urged mediators to ensure that Israel fulfills its obligations under the ceasefire, including the withdrawal of its forces from Gaza.

Although the ceasefire has reduced large-scale fighting, violence has not completely stopped. Fresh Israeli strikes reportedly killed at least four Palestinians, including two children, highlighting the fragile security situation despite ongoing diplomatic efforts.

Meanwhile, Egyptian media reported that Cairo is expected to host another meeting of the ceasefire mediators, including representatives from the United States, Qatar, and Türkiye, to discuss the next phase of the peace plan.

Pakistan has consistently maintained its support for the Palestinian cause and continues to advocate for an independent Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital. Islamabad, which has no diplomatic relations with Israel, has repeatedly urged the international community to work toward a peaceful resolution of the conflict through dialogue and adherence to international law.

    Rajab Butt’s mother reveals his relationship status details and age

    Rajab Butt’s mother has broken her silence on one of the most discussed personal sagas in Pakistani vlogging, appearing on Dr Ruby Malik’s podcast for The Digitalline.pk to share details about her son’s age, his marriage and the possibility of a reconciliation with his wife Emaan. Rajab Butt is one of Pakistan’s most followed digital influencers, with around 9 million YouTube subscribers, nearly 3 million Instagram followers and a massive audience on TikTok Live. In recent months, his personal life has attracted as much attention as his content, following reports of a separation from Emaan shortly after the birth of their son Kivan, a formal divorce notice, and subsequent reconciliation speculation. His mother addressed the situation directly, beginning with a revelation about how the marriage came to be in the first place. “Rajab Ali is 30 years old now, Alhamdulillah,” she said. “I arranged his marriage entirely on my own. It was my choice because Rajab wasn’t ready to get married. His priority was to build our house and get Ghazal married first, as we didn’t even have our own home. We sold the house that I had received as my share of the family property, and I invested all of that money into Rajab’s business. Alhamdulillah, he fulfilled both responsibilities, and then I insisted that he get married. I found the proposal myself, and I love Kivan more than anyone.” The account was unexpectedly candid. It revealed not only how the marriage came about but also the financial sacrifices the family made to support Rajab’s career, including the sale of property that was her own personal inheritance. It painted a picture of a mother who invested enormously in her son’s future and then took it upon herself to find him a wife when she felt the time was right. When asked directly about the possibility of Rajab and Emaan reconciling, she declined to speculate. “I don’t know whether Emaan and Rajab will patch up because it is their personal matter,” she said, drawing a clear line around a question she clearly felt was not hers to answer. She was equally measured when asked whether she was already searching for a new marriage proposal for her son. “I have no idea who his future wife will be because I won’t be searching for a proposal this time,” she said, before closing with a prayer: “May Allah make it easy for both of them.” The interview offered a rare maternal perspective on a story that has played out almost entirely through the couple’s own social media accounts and through speculation from their online audiences. Whatever happens next between Rajab and Emaan, his mother’s message was clear: she loves her grandson, she arranged the marriage in good faith, and the rest is in Allah’s hands.

    Vikrant Massey explains why exes should stay in past

    Actor Vikrant Massey has spoken candidly about his marriage to wife Sheetal Thakur, offering a glimpse into the trust and honesty that define their relationship. The actor also shared his personal opinion on past relationships, saying he does not believe in maintaining friendships with former partners. During a recent conversation, Vikrant explained that he and Sheetal have always been transparent with each other about their past. According to the actor, openness is an important part of any strong relationship, and hiding significant aspects of one’s romantic history can create unnecessary doubts. He said that neither he nor Sheetal ever felt the need to keep their previous relationships a secret. In his view, couples who avoid acknowledging a serious relationship that lasted for several years may be sending the wrong message. Vikrant believes that if two people have shared a meaningful part of their lives together, there should be no reason to pretend that chapter never existed. Sharing his thoughts further, the 12th Fail star said that relationships should not remain hidden from close friends and family, especially if they were long-term commitments. He added that trying to avoid giving a relationship a label or deliberately concealing it often appears suspicious. For him, honesty and acceptance of the past are essential ingredients for building trust in the present. Vikrant and Sheetal first met in 2015 through a mutual friend. Over time, their friendship grew stronger, and the pair eventually fell in love. Their relationship attracted attention during the filming of the web series Broken But Beautiful in 2018, when dating rumours surrounding the two began making headlines. After several years together, the couple officially registered their marriage on February 14, 2022. A few days later, on February 18, they celebrated their union with a traditional wedding ceremony attended by family members and close friends. Their family expanded in February 2024 with the arrival of their baby boy. Following the birth of his son, Vikrant announced that he would take a break from acting to focus on spending quality time with his family. His decision was appreciated by many fans, who praised the actor for prioritising fatherhood during an important phase of his child’s life. On the professional front, Vikrant was most recently seen in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, where he starred opposite Shanaya Kapoor. He also made a special cameo appearance in Shahid Kapoor’s O Romeo. Looking ahead, the actor has a busy schedule with several exciting projects lined up. He is preparing for the release of Musafir Cafe, which is set to premiere on Netflix on July 24. In addition, Vikrant will also be seen in Yaar Jigri and Talaakhon, adding to an already impressive lineup of upcoming films. With his latest comments, Vikrant has once again highlighted the importance of honesty, trust, and clear communication in relationships, while giving fans a rare insight into the values that shape his personal life.

The withdrawal motion was moved on the Senate floor by Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry on behalf of the Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication.

No specific reason for withdrawing the bill was disclosed during the Senate proceedings. However, government sources indicated that the legislation could be brought back before Parliament after further consultations with relevant stakeholders and consideration of their concerns.
