07.02.2026The Day of the Gaza Peace Council Convocation
On February 7, 2026, Palestinian media shifted focus toward the diplomatic horizon as the Trump administration announced the inaugural meeting of the 'Gaza Peace Council' scheduled for February 19. This initiative, widely covered by Al-Quds and Felesteen News, emerged alongside reports of Oman-mediated negotiations with Iran, which President Trump described as positive. This diplomatic activity contrasts with the morning's local reporting on the 'fire control' established by the Israeli military over more than half of the Gaza Strip, leading to the displacement of one million people and the systemic demolition of residential squares in Khan Yunis and Rafah.
By early afternoon, editorial attention turned to the domestic educational crisis and the 'health genocide' in Gaza, with UNICEF reporting 37 child deaths since the year began. Concurrently, a major corruption investigation into PA official Nazmi Muhanna gained traction, with outlets publishing documents alleging a money-laundering network. The evening ended with Hamas warning that the ceasefire has been emptied of substance due to 574 deaths recorded since the truce began, while internal reports surfaced regarding the potential postponement of Hamas leadership elections until 2027.
