Overview

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has endorsed Donald Trump's controversial plan for U.S. control of Gaza and the relocation of Gaza's population, drawing widespread condemnation from Arab nations and global leaders.
  • The fragile truce between Israel and Hamas, which began on January 19 after 16 months of conflict, has seen the release of 16 Israeli hostages in exchange for 765 Palestinian prisoners, with more exchanges expected in the coming weeks.
  • Three recently released Israeli hostages, freed in exchange for 183 Palestinian prisoners, have reported severe malnutrition and harsh conditions during their 491-day captivity under Hamas in Gaza.
  • The Israeli military has withdrawn from the Netzarim corridor in Gaza, enabling freer movement for Palestinians between the northern and southern regions of the territory, as part of the truce agreement.
  • Arab nations, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt, have strongly condemned Netanyahu's suggestion of establishing a Palestinian state on Saudi territory, calling it unacceptable and inflammatory.
