Overview

  • Hamas is consulting Palestinian factions on a US-mediated ceasefire proposal that links phased hostage exchanges to immediate aid deliveries and a staged Israeli withdrawal.
  • Swiss authorities have initiated proceedings to dissolve the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s Geneva branch over legal shortcomings in its establishment.
  • Amnesty International has accused the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s militarized aid distribution of enabling starvation tactics that amount to genocide against Palestinians.
  • Health officials reported that an Israeli airstrike on a tent encampment near Khan Younis killed at least 15 displaced Palestinians, illustrating the ongoing toll on civilians.
  • Palestinian medical authorities say more than 500 people have been killed near GHF distribution hubs or along Israeli-guarded access routes since the foundation began operations in late May.
