Day of Blocked Return

The morning began with Israel blocking displaced Palestinians from returning to northern Gaza, linking the return to negotiations over captive Arbel Yehud. Trump's proposal for relocating Gaza residents to Jordan and Egypt dominated headlines, drawing unified rejection from Palestinian factions and regional players.

By afternoon, Qatar announced an agreement allowing northern returns to begin Monday morning, while negotiations over Arbel Yehud's release showed progress. The Islamic Jihad indicated a resolution was near, with reports suggesting 30 Palestinian prisoners would be exchanged.

The death toll in Gaza reached 47,306. Meanwhile, resistance groups provided assurances to remove Israeli pretexts blocking population movement. Egypt announced its largest humanitarian aid convoy to Gaza, while Israel's ministerial committee approved legislation allowing settlers to purchase West Bank land, marking a significant policy shift during the crisis.
