- On Thursday, Hamas representatives told Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish mediators in Cairo they will not discuss disarmament without guarantees that Israel will fully withdraw from the Gaza Strip.

- Sources with knowledge of the Board of Peace's thinking said the response makes an immediate breakthrough unlikely, though Hamas is expected to meet with mediators again next week.
- Nickolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace's envoy, urged all parties to implement the framework, citing the campaign's humanitarian toll of more than 72,000 Palestinians killed according to Gazan health authorities.
