Morning update

Good morning, Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates on Israel’s war on Gaza and the region:

- The Trump administration's bid to deport Columbia University student and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil is likely unconstitutional, a US judge said on Wednesday, finding that the little-used provision of immigration law invoked by the government was too vague.

- Israeli police said that 62 people were arrested after protesters broke into Likud headquarters in Tel Aviv and barricaded themselves inside to protest the government's handling of the ongoing war in Gaza, according to Haaretz

- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation on Thursday denied media reports of deaths and violent disruptions at its distribution sites after reports that two people had died and several more were injured at the central Gaza warehouse.

- A new US-backed proposal for a ceasefire and captive agreement between Israel and Hamas would involve the release of nine living captives and the return of the bodies of 18 others in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners and a 60-day truce, according to Channel 12, citing unnamed sources.

- The Israeli Defence Ministry said that ministers approved the construction of 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank.

- London police have arrested five people for trying to disrupt the filming of a movie starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot, a statement said.
