Overview

  • Netanyahu convened a three-hour security meeting with Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to review options for reoccupying Gaza following the breakdown of U.S.-backed ceasefire negotiations.
  • The prime minister’s office confirmed that Israel will reverse its 2005 disengagement by preparing for a complete military takeover of the Gaza Strip.
  • COGAT unveiled a merchant-led aid corridor aimed at increasing goods shipments, yet Gaza still receives only a fraction of the roughly 600 daily trucks U.N. agencies say are necessary.
  • Gaza’s health ministry reported a rise in deaths from starvation and malnutrition as severe aid restrictions leave civilians chronically undersupplied.
  • Nearly 600 retired Israeli security officials appealed to President Trump to pressure Israel to end the war, secure hostage releases and alleviate the humanitarian crisis.
