U.S. mediators, including Jared Kushner, are working with Israel and Hamas to advance a Gaza ceasefire, focusing on resolving a standoff over around 200 Hamas fighters trapped in tunnels, while discussions also cover disarmament, demilitarization, and the deployment of an international stabilization force. The situation remains tense with ongoing clashes and mutual accusations of truce violations.
Hamas has expressed readiness to immediately resume negotiations on a 60-day ceasefire with Israel, though it is unclear if they seek significant changes to the proposal or face new hurdles, as previous agreements have fallen apart over details.
Israel conducted air strikes in Gaza to rescue captives, resulting in the deaths of 67 civilians. Two Israeli captives were rescued, but more have been released through negotiations and truces. Over 28,000 people have been killed in the war, with hundreds of captives taken and some killed. Israel's rescue operations have led to civilian casualties, and the country is rejecting negotiations with Hamas for the remaining captives. International leaders have warned against further military operations in Gaza.
At least 29 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike in a residential area of Rafah in southern Gaza, while a hospital was raided in north Gaza and 13 people were killed in an attack on a refugee camp. Israeli forces detained over 240 people, including hospital staff and patients, and turned al-Awda Hospital into barracks. The Kamal Adwan Hospital has stopped functioning, and about 4,000 displaced people in Khan Younis are at risk. Talks for another truce between Israel and Hamas are ongoing, with progress made towards a potential prisoner exchange deal. The Gaza Health Ministry reported that 19,667 Palestinians have been killed and 52,586 wounded since the conflict began on October 7.
