Gaza Ceasefire Violations: Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City killed at least eight people and wounded 15, with deaths reported in multiple residential hits including the Al-Shati refugee camp, while Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry says nearly 936 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire began and talks for the second phase remain deadlocked. UN Security Council Pressure: The UN Security Council is set for a closed-door consultation requested by Bahrain on the “Palestinian question,” after a letter from Palestine warned Israel’s latest West Bank and Gaza moves amount to further annexation, including plans for thousands of new housing units. West Bank Settlement Push: Israel approved 2,162 new settlement homes, a move Palestinians and rights groups warn will deepen annexation and fragmentation, while the UK is also facing calls to restrict even property purchases by its citizens in illegal settlements. Aid Under Fire: Despite new checkpoint delays, UN officials say more than 1,000 humanitarian aid pallets entered Gaza via Kerem Shalom/Karem Abu Salem, but fuel and services remain under strain. Flotilla Abuse Claims: Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong said she believes allegations of sexual assault against flotilla activists and called for a transparent investigation, as activists submit accounts of abuse to international and local courts. Detention Health Alarm: Family and attorneys say Palestinian American activist Salah Sarsour’s health is worsening in US ICE custody due to inadequate medical care.
