Overview

  • The United Nations has declared the humanitarian situation in Gaza the worst since the conflict began, citing severe shortages of water, food, and power under Israel's continued blockade.
  • Germany, France, and the UK have condemned Israel's blockade as 'unacceptable,' demanding immediate humanitarian access and criticizing plans for a permanent military presence in Gaza.
  • Hamas has expressed willingness to transfer governance of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority or another entity, though doubts remain about the feasibility of such a transition.
  • Israeli airstrikes on a former school in Gaza City reportedly killed civilians, with Israel claiming the site housed Hamas and PIJ operatives, a claim that remains disputed.
  • Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has urged Hamas to release Israeli hostages, asserting that their release could remove Israel’s justification for continuing the war.
