The day's dominant story was the Hamas delegation's meeting with Jared Kushner in Cairo, reported across outlets as a pivotal moment for the Gaza ceasefire roadmap. The meeting, which included Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad, focused on disarmament demands and the next phase of the truce. Concurrently, Israeli violations continued in Gaza with airstrikes and demolitions, while settler attacks persisted in Qusra and Am Safa. The humanitarian crisis deepened as oxygen stations neared shutdown and fuel shortages threatened essential services. A US military map showing Gaza and the West Bank as part of Israel sparked annexation fears, and regional tensions rose with Gulf anger at Trump and the Hormuz crisis nearing resolution.
