US President Donald Trump says Israel has agreed to “the necessary conditions to finalise” a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, and urges Hamas to accept the proposal. Israeli forces have killed 109 Palestinians across Gaza, including 28 who were shot while waiting for food parcels at the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) sites.

Officials at al-Shifa, the largest medical centre in northern Gaza, say hundreds of patients are “facing death” as the hospital runs out of fuel amid Israel’s blockade. Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 56,647 people and wounded 134,105, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7 attacks, and more than 200 were taken captive.

As the world remains distracted by Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

Residents, experts and rights say the violence is aimed at displacing Palestinians and annexing their land. In 2024 alone, Israel confiscated more Palestinian land in the West Bank than in the previous 20 years combined, according to Peace Now, an Israeli nonprofit tracking land theft in Palestine.

Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has led the charge after assuming control of the newly established “Settlements Administration” in February 2023.

The position allows Smotrich to advance Israel’s de facto annexation of the occupied West Bank by working to extend Israeli civil law over the area, in direct contravention of international law.

The family of Hussam Abu Safia, who has been detained by Israel since December, says the doctor has lost 30kg (66 pounds) and is “suffering from critical health conditions”.

His son, Elias, told the Palestinian Information Center that the doctor is enduring “harsh and catastrophic” conditions in the Israeli jail and has been deprived of medication and is being subjected to inhumane treatment.

Abu Safia was awarded the 2025 Nizar Banat Award for human rights defenders by the Palestinian group Lawyers for Justice on Monday.
