While the severe attacks on the Gaza Strip continue, Israeli forces continue to restrict Muslim access before Friday prayers at Masjid al-Aqsa, situated in the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem. Israeli forces intervened using gas bombs and pressurized water against Palestinians, whom they prevented from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque due to these restrictions.
Egyptian media reports that ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel in Gaza, mediated by Qatar and Egypt, are set to resume next week. Israel is awaiting Hamas’s response to the ceasefire offer.
Israeli and US delegations, who were in Doha for negotiations, have returned home for consultations. The current agreement being discussed includes the exchange of hostages and prisoners, with plans for further talks on a permanent ceasefire and the release of additional hostages.
