Overview
- An Israeli drone killed three Palestinians near the Morag corridor after they crossed the cease-fire line, hospital officials said, and the army did not comment.
- The White House is expected to unveil members of a US-led Peace Council this week, with Israel naming former UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov as the body’s director general.
- Hamas sent a delegation led by Khalil (Jalil) al-Hayya to Cairo for talks with Egyptian, Qatari and Turkish mediators on moving to phase two, and says it will dissolve its Gaza government once a technocratic committee assumes control.
- Progress remains stalled by Hamas’s armed wing rejecting immediate disarmament and by Israel’s insistence on receiving the remains of the last hostage, identified as Ran Gvili.
- Despite the truce, local health authorities report more than 440 Palestinians killed since October, and US, Egyptian, Qatari and Turkish officials held a videoconference to prepare next steps.
