Israel's energy minister, Eli Cohen, announced plans to cut electricity to the Gaza Strip, aiming to pressure Hamas amid stalled negotiations after a ceasefire deal expired. Concurrently, the Israeli Defense Ministry may establish a new office to manage the potential mass displacement of Palestinians—a controversial nod to Trump’s past proposals. In Syria, recent violent clashes have raised health concerns, according to WHO chief Tedros. Meanwhile, U.S. immigration authorities have arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, sparking debate over First Amendment rights amid claims of his Hamas ties.
"Enough talk, it's time for action!" Energy Minister Eli Cohen said in Hebrew on X, highlighting Israel's determination to leverage electricity cuts against Hamas during ceasefire negotiations.
The formation of a new government office dedicated to managing the mass displacement of Palestinians from Gaza marks a controversial step towards implementing Trump's proposal to 'clean out' the region.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed deep concern over escalated violence in Syria, noting that damaging health facilities directly affects people’s health in the region.
U.S. federal immigration authorities confirmed the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, linking him to Hamas activity, while local leaders called the arrest a potential First Amendment violation.
