Palestinian media on July 26 focused intensely on Gaza's deepening humanitarian crisis. Reports throughout the day detailed mounting casualties, including infant and elderly deaths due to starvation, with dire warnings of an impending massacre targeting 100,000 children. Aid distribution issues and an American officer's war crimes report were also highlighted. Concurrently, ceasefire negotiations were a prominent, evolving theme; Hamas initially expressed optimism but later revealed Israel's sudden withdrawal from a near-agreement for a 60-day truce. As the day progressed, significant attention shifted to the 'Hanzala' ship. Its approach to Gaza, anticipated Israeli interception, and eventual raid by Israeli forces dominated evening headlines, framed by Hamas as an act of piracy. Israel's announced "humanitarian truce" for aid entry was met with skepticism.
