An Arabic-language report details Israel’s previously reported concession on the presence of troops in Gaza during a proposed 60-day ceasefire, envisioning soldiers retreating from most areas of the Strip.

A planned “humanitarian city” inside Gaza intended to hold hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be a “concentration camp,” former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has warned.

Bodies were brought to a hospital in Gaza City after the latest Israeli strikes on the area killed 22 people, including 11 children and three women, according to health officials.

Ten people, including children, were killed in a strike at a water collection point in central Gaza, according to health officials. Israel is investigating the incident.

Israeli outlets report, citing a statement from Katz’s office, that the minister is slated to set out for Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. In D.C., he and other Israeli military officials are expected to meet with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

A majority of Israelis want an end to the fighting in return for the release of hostages, while right-wing members of the government want to keep going, saying Hamas remains undefeated.

The prime minister will have to face the electorate again sometime soon. He intends to do so on his own terms, with as much authority as possible centered in his own hands

An Israeli military official said, "we are reinforcing forces in the Golan Heights and along the border, ready for a multitude of scenarios."
