Overview

• Egypt and Qatar presented a 60-day pause with phased hostage releases, starting with about 10 living captives and several bodies, plus expanded aid deliveries overseen by the UN and Red Crescent, according to negotiators.
• Hamas spokesman Taher al Nunu said the proposal carries U.S. guarantees and is now with Israel, which has not issued an official response, with roughly 49–50 Israelis still held.
• IDF chief Eyal Zamir approved a plan to evacuate Gaza City in just under two months before encirclement and occupation, describing it as the next phase of the war.
• Hostage families drove a nationwide strike and renewed protests in Tel Aviv; police said 38 people were arrested Sunday as demonstrators pressed for a deal and opposed plans for Gaza City.
• Israeli strikes continued with Palestinian sources reporting about 25–26 deaths today, while Amnesty International accused Israel of a deliberate starvation campaign and Gaza authorities reported rising malnutrition fatalities.
