- New strikes and shelling were reported Thursday in Gaza, while aid shortfalls persist and winter exposure has caused deaths, with over 90 percent of residents still displaced in tents.
- Israeli media say the White House intends to announce a Palestinian technocratic administration, a multinational peace council, and an international stabilisation force in January, with staged disarmament envisioned.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have pushed back on key provisions, including full withdrawal and disarmament terms, and U.S. officials have voiced frustration over delays.
- Hamas says it is still locating the remains of Ran Gvili for transfer to Israel, denies responsibility for a Rafah explosion, and accuses Israel of blocking reconstruction materials and full reopening of Rafah.
