The Israeli enemy said it would send a delegation to Doha on Monday to resume ceasefire and prisoner exchange talks with Hamas to enter the next phase of the truce.
Hamas cited “positive indicators” for the resumption of talks on the ceasefire but denied reports suggesting any temporary ceasefire agreement during Ramadan. Hamas spokesperson Mahmoud Mardawi reiterated commitment to the agreed-upon terms of the truce while pushing for the next stage of negotiations.
Gaza continues to face mounting hardships this Ramadan. In Khan Younis, six bakeries have been forced to close due to severe fuel shortages as a result of Israel’s ongoing blockade on aid into the Strip. The shortage is adding to the already dire humanitarian crisis that continues to unfold.
Meanwhile, Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Sunday that US President Donald Trump’s widely condemned plan to relocate millions of Gazans to other countries was “taking shape”, but acknowledged it would be a massive logistical undertaking.
“This plan is taking shape, with ongoing actions in coordination with the administration… It involves identifying key countries, understanding their interests — both with the US and with us — and fostering cooperation,” Smotrich said at an event in parliament, adding that preparations were underway to establish a large-scale body to oversee the displacement.

A Palestinian citizen was killed and several others were injured in the early hours of Sunday by Israeli occupation forces’ gunfire in the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
According to medical sources, a Palestinian from Ebeid family was killed and others were wounded when Israeli occupation forces opened fire in the Shujaiya area. The victims were targeted while in the vicinity, resulting in casualties.
At least 48,458 Palestinians have been killed and over 11.897 have been injured since October 2023 – the Gaza Health Ministry revealed.
Five civilians were brought to hospitals across the Gaza Strip overnight in the past 24 hours.
The toll adds to thousands trapped under the rubble that the ministry has presumed dead – making the toll over 61,000.
