Good evening Middle East Eye readers,
The Palestinian Authority told the US it is ready to "clash" with Hamas if that is the price needed to take power in the Gaza Strip, during a pitch to President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, Middle East Eye revealed on Friday.
Meanwhile, the UN urged Israel to stop its bloody assault on Jenin in the occupied West Bank, saying it was "deeply concerned" by the humanitarian toll.
Here is what else you missed:
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his Saudi counterpart, Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, discussed “the path forward in Gaza” in a phone call
- Egypt will host a meeting of Arab foreign ministers to discuss Israel's war on Gaza and support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa)
- Israeli troops operating in a buffer zone in southern Syria came under fire on Friday, the Israeli military said.
- Belize has submitted an application to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, underscoring how countries are still looking to hold Israel to account for what they allege is its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza
