Mediators are preparing for further ceasefire talks in Cairo as Israeli strikes in Gaza on Monday resulted in the deaths of at least four Palestinians. Hamas and other factions have reportedly agreed to most points of a U.S.-brokered peace plan, but significant disagreements persist regarding Hamas disarmament.
In parallel, Israel's defense minister announced that the country intends to remain indefinitely in territories seized in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. This decision comes despite a preliminary agreement between the U.S. and Iran to extend a ceasefire.
Lebanon's Health Ministry has provided figures indicating that Israeli attacks have caused 3,798 deaths and 11,781 injuries since March 2. Within the last 24 hours alone, 15 people were killed and 82 injured in Lebanon.
Meanwhile, the expansion of Israel's 'yellow line' buffer zone in Gaza has intensified, now encompassing 70% of the territory. This expansion is leading to repeated displacement of Palestinians, with residents reporting the destruction of homes, unbearable living conditions, and a severe lack of basic resources. Analysts suggest this policy aims to render certain areas uninhabitable.
Furthermore, a petition signed by over 1,300 individuals, including health professionals and organizations, is calling for the World Medical Association to suspend the Israeli Medical Association. The petition alleges failures to uphold medical ethics and complicity in human rights violations.
