Good morning, Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates on Israel’s war on Gaza, now in its 593rd day, and its assault on the occupied West Bank: 

  • Israeli forces press Gaza offensive, killing at least 87 Palestinians in relentless attacks, with no pause in bombardment.

  • UN reports 90 aid trucks entered Gaza as Israel partially eases its blockade, but supplies remain critically low. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said: “Around 90 truckloads of goods have been dispatched… nowhere near enough to meet the needs.”

  • Aid bottlenecks persist at the Karam Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing, with Israel restricting deliveries.

  • Netanyahu vows post-war control of Gaza, offering only a “temporary” ceasefire for hostage releases.

  • France, Spain, UK summon Israeli envoys after troops fired near diplomats in Jenin, occupied West Bank.

  • South African President Cyril Ramaphosa: Trump ignored ICJ genocide case during White House talks, despite pressure to address Israel’s actions.
