Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are some of the latest updates from the Israel's war on Gaza:

  • US President Donald Trump said if Jordan and Egypt don’t comply with his plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza, he "would conceivably withhold aid”.

  • The Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said its fighters were confronting Israeli forces in the nearby Tulkarem and Nur Shams refugee camps as an Israeli raid on the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank continues.

  • Hundreds of Israelis, including relatives of the captives, in Tel Aviv, protested Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of sabotaging the ceasefire agreement for his political gain.

  • UN expressed concern at the ‘distressing conditions’ of Israeli captives and Palestinian detainees released as part of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

  • Unrwa said the forced displacement of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has impacted some 76,600 Palestinian refugees, warning that it is “escalating at an alarming pace”.

  • Two Egyptian security sources said the mediators of the Gaza ceasefire deal fear a breakdown of the agreement after Hamas said it will delay captive release due to Israeli ‘violations’, the Reuters news agency reported.

  • More than 110 NGOs condemned Trump’s proposed plans for the US to buy and own Gaza in a joint statement.

  • Senior Hamas official Bassem Naim accused Israel of delaying the second phase of the ceasefire deal negotiations, which was meant to start last week.

  • The United Nations said not enough tents are entering Gaza even though 200,000 shelters were promised as part of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal.
