WASHINGTON/TEL AVIV - US President Donald Trump could visit Israel next month, ahead of his announced visit to the United Kingdom. White House sources quoted by Ynet said the visit is related to the development of talks on a ceasefire and an end to the Gaza war. An Israeli source confirmed that talks were underway about a possible visit by the US president, but "nothing has been finalised yet".
"Temperatures in Gaza above 40 degrees Celsius worsen an already desperate situation" "Temperatures in Gaza are rising above 40 degrees Celsius, further worsening an already desperate situation." This is the warning issued this morning via X server by UNRWA, which warns that with "very limited water, dehydration is increasing" for residents of the Palestinian enclave, which has been devastated by Israeli military operations against Hamas and other groups launched in response to the 7 October 2023 attack on Israel. "Bombing and forced displacement continue," the post continues, highlighting a situation of "extreme heat" with "limited electricity and fuel." "A ceasefire is necessary."
According to al-Jazeera satellite television, based on reports from the Gaza Ministry of Health, which fell into Hamas hands in 2007, four more people died in Gaza within 24 hours as a result of starvation and malnutrition.
Media: Hamas approves withdrawal, promises to keep hostages alive if Israel leaves Gaza
As for negotiations, Hamas reportedly presented Egypt yesterday with proposals for a possible ceasefire, which include a request for written guarantees that Israel will relinquish its control over Gaza. According to a Times of Israel report citing Al-Arabyia, Hamas is demanding that Israel agree in writing to a permanent end to the war and renounce any plans to occupy Gaza with international guarantees. Hamas is reportedly offering to withdraw its fighters, move them to previously agreed positions and "reaffirm its commitment to keep the hostages alive" in exchange for the withdrawal of Israeli troops.
Smotrich: "Construction of more than 3,000 housing units in the West Bank begins, burying the idea of Palestine". Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced his intention to approve the construction of more than 3,000 housing units in the controversial E1 settlement project between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim in the West Bank, specifying that the decision "buries the idea of a Palestinian state." The Times of Israel reports.
The project has been frozen for decades due to strong opposition from the international community, which fears that a new settlement wing could hinder the creation of a viable Palestinian state. "The approval of the construction plans in the E1 area buries the idea of a Palestinian state and represents the next steps in the de facto sovereignty plan that we began to implement with the formation of the government," Smotrich said in a statement.
