The Day of Abu Obeida's Open Bill

The day was shaped by Abu Obeida's evening statement that the occupation's 'bill remains open until paid in full,' a message carried across multiple outlets. Earlier, editors tracked the Knesset's preliminary vote to dissolve itself, paving the way for early elections, while Israeli strikes killed several in Gaza, including a strike on a vehicle in Deir al-Balah. By afternoon, Hamas declared readiness to hand over all governance domains in Gaza, including security, and denied accusations of obstructing the national committee. Settler violence continued with wheat fields burned near Hebron and land seizures east of Bethlehem. The day closed with Hamas carrying new proposals to Cairo talks, as the death toll in Gaza rose and May was reported as the deadliest month since early 2026.
