Overview

  • Health staff reported at least 60 deaths from Friday night into Saturday, and Gaza’s health ministry recorded 81 fatalities over 24 hours as airstrikes struck displacement shelters and residential areas.
  • The Israel Defense Forces ordered civilians in northern Gaza, including Gaza City districts and Jabalia camp, to evacuate south toward the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone ahead of intensified operations.
  • President Trump posted on Truth Social urging negotiators to “make the deal in Gaza” within a week to end hostilities and secure the return of remaining hostages.
  • Diplomatic channels involving Egypt, Qatar and the United States have launched a fresh ceasefire push aiming to pause the 20-month conflict and free roughly 50 hostages still held by Hamas.
  • Hamas says it will release its remaining captives only if the war ends, while Israel insists on the militant group’s full disarmament before any truce can take effect.
