Overview
- Foreign ministers of Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Qatar issued a joint statement condemning repeated violations that they say have killed and wounded more than a thousand Palestinians.
- Palestinian officials reported more than 30 deaths in Israeli strikes over the weekend that hit homes, tents for displaced people and a police station, while Israel said it was responding to a ceasefire breach.
- The ministers said the violations pose a direct threat to the political track, warning they could derail efforts to advance the second phase of President Donald Trump's peace plan and progress linked to UN Security Council Resolution 2803.
- EU commissioner Hadja Lahbib publicly condemned the latest violations and called for strict adherence to international humanitarian law and protection of civilians.
- Under a US‑backed arrangement, Israel said it would reopen the Rafah crossing for limited, security‑cleared movement of people, a step Hamas criticized as it reported 524 killed and 1,360 injured in Gaza since the October 2025 truce.
