A senior Hamas official accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of deliberately undermining efforts to reach a truce and secure the release of hostages by threatening continued conflict with the Palestinian militant group. Hamas, through its spokesperson Hossam Badran, claimed that Netanyahu had obstructed previous dialogue attempts and was continuing to do so.

Foreign mediators awaited Hamas's response to a proposal aiming to halt the conflict and exchange hostages for Palestinian prisoners, which Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh had indicated the group was considering positively. However, a significant obstacle emerged as Hamas demanded a lasting ceasefire while Netanyahu vowed to crush remaining fighters in Rafah, despite concerns from UN agencies and Washington about the safety of civilians.

Badran accused Netanyahu of deliberately targeting Rafah to sabotage the negotiation process mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the US. Israeli airstrikes in Rafah resulted in further casualties, including Sanaa Zoorob's family members. Zoorob called for a permanent ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

Meanwhile, protests erupted across about 40 US universities and colleges, reminiscent of Vietnam War protests, denouncing Israel's actions. Additionally, Yemen's Houthi rebels declared their intention to extend attacks on Israel-bound shipping to the Mediterranean, posing a new challenge, although the extent of the threat remains unclear.

The ongoing conflict has exacerbated Gaza's humanitarian crisis, with millions on the brink of famine. Despite US pressure prompting increased aid deliveries, food shortages persist, with warnings of an imminent famine. Israeli human rights groups criticized the government's response, claiming it fell short of international obligations.
