- The deal includes releasing 10 living hostages and nine to 18 bodies in return for Israel freeing over 1,200 Palestinian detainees amid continued Israeli military operations.
- Katz said the Israeli military acts “with full force” in Gaza, striking dozens of targets, while US President Donald Trump said an agreement was “very close.”
- Hamas has not accepted the deal and continues consultations, while ongoing violence and humanitarian hardships persist in Gaza’s war-torn area.
