Overview

• Indirect talks in Doha have reached an impasse after Israel proposed redeploying troops across roughly 40 percent of Gaza, a plan Hamas has refused to accept.
• Both sides have conditioned a potential 60-day ceasefire on the release of 10 living hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
• Hospital officials reported that at least 28 Palestinians, including four children, were killed in recent airstrikes and 24 were shot near an aid distribution site in Rafah.
• Over the past 48 hours, Israeli forces said they struck around 250 targets across Gaza as ground and air operations persist.
• A video released by Hamas showing the killing of an Israeli soldier has contradicted the military’s account, prompting sharp criticism in Israeli media over troop security.
