Overview

  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene his security cabinet this week to issue instructions for a new phase of the Gaza campaign aimed at full conquest of the enclave.
  • More than 550 ex-Mossad, Shin Bet and military chiefs appealed to President Trump to pressure Netanyahu to end the Gaza war, arguing that Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel.
  • The UN Security Council held a special emergency session on Gaza hostages at Israel’s request after videos surfaced showing captives in dire condition.
  • The Israeli military, working with six countries, airdropped 136 pallets of food while COGAT reported over 23,000 tons of trucked aid entered Gaza, yet UN agencies warn of widespread hunger and looming famine.
  • Gaza’s Ministry of Health reports over 60,430 Palestinian deaths, overwhelmingly civilians, fueling calls for secure humanitarian corridors, a ceasefire and accelerated prisoner releases.
