Since then, Gaza's Health Ministry reports more than 1,600 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire (the ministry, part of Gaza's Hamas-run government, does not distinguish civilians from fighters). The Israeli military says it is responding to ceasefire violations by militants. In July 2026, the US-led Board of Peace announced a roadmap for Hamas disarmament linked to Israeli withdrawal, but Israel and Hamas disagree on the sequencing; this week Tony Blair met Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Herzog as the Trump administration seeks to advance Gaza's demilitarization and reconstruction, saying the most urgent challenge is to turn the agreement into 'a credible stage-by-stage plan'. UNRWA says 18 of its emergency shelters in Gaza are unsafe as winter approaches." ], "why_it_matters": null, "changed_recently": [ { "text": "A UN spokesman said more than 150,000 tents are waiting just outside Gaza for Israeli permission.
