15.01.2026The Day of the Cairo Committee Inauguration
Morning headlines focused on the formalization of 'Phase Two' of the Trump-backed transition plan, centered on the Gaza Management Committee led by technocrat Ali Shaath. Editorial attention highlighted Hamas’s signaled readiness to transfer administrative control and engage in talks regarding demilitarization.
By midday, the narrative shifted toward a growing friction between diplomatic optimism and military realities. Reports detailed Israel’s refusal to reopen the Rafah crossing and its maintenance of the 'Yellow Line' military positions, which editors framed as a stall on the transition. Simultaneously, local outlets prioritized internal Palestinian criticism over the committee’s composition and a push from factions to move the meeting location from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.
In the evening, coverage converged on the committee’s inaugural meeting in Cairo. However, this was overshadowed by reports of escalating ceasefire violations, specifically lethal strikes in Deir al-Balah and the assassination of a Qassam leader, which editors contrasted against the ongoing diplomatic efforts.
