Overview

  • The Forum of hostage families called a general strike on Sunday, mobilizing more than 200,000 demonstrators in Tel Aviv to demand a deal with Hamas and an end to the Gaza offensive.
  • Police arrested over 30 protesters and deployed water cannons in Jerusalem after senior cabinet members denounced the strike as aiding Hamas.
  • COGAT announced it had resumed shipping tents and other equipment to support planned evacuations of civilians from combat zones in Gaza.
  • Israel’s military approved its next operational phase against Gaza City, with the chief of staff warning that an expanded assault carries elevated risks for troops and remaining captives.
  • Indirect negotiations with Hamas remain stalled and Israeli authorities estimate that of roughly 50 hostages taken in October 2023 fewer than 20 are still alive.
