Overview

  • Israeli airstrikes on June 27–28 killed at least 60 Palestinians, including displaced families near the Palestine Stadium in Gaza City.
  • President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he expects a Gaza ceasefire within a week after discussions with mediators in Washington and Doha.
  • Qatar’s foreign ministry and other negotiators are seeking to build on the recent Israel-Iran ceasefire momentum to revive Gaza truce talks.
  • The Israel Defense Forces report they are close to accomplishing their current objectives in Gaza, a factor likely to shape any ceasefire agreement.
  • About 50 hostages remain in Gaza—fewer than half believed alive—and Israel’s restricted aid flow has deepened Gaza’s humanitarian emergency.
