Overview

• Hamas has delivered about nine of the 28 deceased hostages agreed under the ceasefire, with more pledged after one misidentified body was corrected, while Israel and families insist there will be no compromise on full returns.
• Israel reversed planned restrictions and moved to reopen the Rafah crossing under EUBAM supervision, with reports indicating operations could resume as early as today to expand humanitarian access.
• The ICRC and UN warn that recovering remains and moving aid through Gaza’s ruins could take days or weeks because of massive debris and unexploded ordnance.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened severe consequences if Hamas refuses to disarm, and President Donald Trump said he would consider allowing Israel to resume military action if the group fails to comply.
• Violence inside Gaza, including reported summary executions and clashes with rival clans, drew condemnation from the Palestinian Authority and a U.S. CENTCOM call for Hamas to halt attacks on civilians.
