Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are the latest updates from the Israeli war on Gaza, now in its 262nd day:

  • Palestinian doctor Hani al-Jafarawi was killed in an Israeli targeting of a clinic in Gaza City, the Palestinian health ministry said on Monday. He became the 500th medical worker to be killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip since 7 October. 

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that he opposes an agreement with Hamas that leads to a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, in what appeared to be a rejection of the Israeli proposal outlined by Biden last month. 

  • The captives' families forum "strongly condemned" Netanyahu's remarks and accused him of "walking back" from Biden's Israeli-backed plan. 

  • Hamas also criticised Netanyahu, saying his comments prove Israel rejects the ceasefire and prisoner swap deal on the table. 

  • The US military confirmed an attack by the Yemeni Houthi group on Sunday on the Greek-owned carrier Transworld Navigator by a suspected uncrewed aerial system (UAS) attack, which caused reportedly caused "minor injuries and moderate damage to the ship".
