Morning reports focused on Hamas' approval to form an independent committee to administer Gaza while discussing ceasefire implementation with Egyptian intelligence. Multiple sources highlighted Israel cutting Gaza's electricity, threatening bakeries with complete shutdown within two weeks and desalination plants amid warnings of an unprecedented water crisis.
By midday, Palestinian casualties mounted with two killed in eastern Gaza's Shuja'iyya neighborhood while Israeli surveillance cameras appeared at Al-Aqsa Mosque entrances for Ramadan. A shift in diplomatic focus was notable as negotiations moved to Qatar, with Trump's envoy describing meetings with Hamas as "very useful" and suggesting hostage releases possible "within weeks."
Evening news revealed Hamas had proposed a comprehensive agreement including a long-term ceasefire. Thousands of Israelis reportedly blocked a Tel Aviv street demanding completion of the prisoner exchange deal as an Israeli delegation arrived in Doha to discuss a two-month truce and prisoner releases.
