Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has postponed deciding on military actions in Gaza if Hamas rejects a ceasefire deal. Internal government divisions exist over whether to surround or occupy Gaza City. Following Hamas’s withdrawal from ceasefire talks, Israel and the U.S. plan to continue military operations alongside increased humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, Gaza faces a severe humanitarian crisis, with millions suffering food insecurity and thousands of children starving. Hamas insists on significant humanitarian improvements before resuming negotiations.
