Gaza Ceasefire Deadlock: A marathon meeting between U.S. envoy Jared Kushner and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left the Gaza ceasefire roadmap unclear, with Israel still insisting Hamas must fully disarm before any withdrawal or reconstruction. Hamas Pushes Back: Hamas urged mediators and the U.S.-backed “Board of Peace” to pressure Israel to implement the second-phase roadmap and honor first-phase commitments. Diplomacy Under Pressure: Kushner said Washington wants “small steps” to test Hamas’s readiness to disarm, while Netanyahu reportedly opposed any pause in targeted killings. Humanitarian Reality: UN agencies warned Gaza families still struggle to feed themselves and face severe medicine shortages, while OCHA said trapped families in the West Bank village of Qusra received supplies but remain surrounded. West Bank Siege Spotlight: A Palestinian-American family returned to a home under settler siege in Qusra as Israeli forces sealed the area and UN teams delivered aid. Medical Relief Abroad: Two Palestinian girls amputated in Gaza arrived in Portugal for free prosthetic fitting and long-term rehabilitation. Regional Condemnation: Kuwait condemned Israel’s rejection of the Gaza roadmap and called for a Palestinian state on 1967 borders. Ceasefire Violations Continue: Israeli attacks across Gaza killed five Palestinians and wounded 18 in the past 48 hours.
