Egypt has revealed signs of progress in the ongoing ceasefire negotiations concerning Gaza, indicating a potential shift towards a new phase of talks.

Sources report that Israel has provided positive feedback on a ceasefire proposal that includes a transitional period, suggesting that Hamas would release five Israeli detainees each week.

A Palestinian official close to the mediation efforts stated that some of the recent proposals appear more favorable than previous ones, though he noted that the process is not yet complete when asked about imminent breakthroughs.

A security delegation from Egypt arrived in Doha, Qatar, to continue discussions on humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza and prisoner exchanges between Israel and Hamas.

The focus of the delegation's visit is to facilitate the entry of humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip ahead of advancing to the next phase of a permanent ceasefire agreement.

The discussions are also expected to address the release of prisoners and hostages as part of the transitional phase aimed at de-escalating tensions.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty emphasized that efforts to solidify and implement the ceasefire agreement, which consists of three phases, remain ongoing.

He urged all parties involved to adhere strictly to the terms of the agreement.

In an interview, Abdel Aty expressed hopes that ongoing negotiations would lead to tangible progress in mitigating the current escalation, which poses numerous risks to peace and stability in the region.

Additionally, Egypt is actively engaging with the U.S. administration on the details of a reconstruction plan for Gaza, anticipating that an upcoming international conference will yield clear mechanisms and commitments supportive of the Egyptian-Arab-Islamic plan.

Abdel Aty also disclosed the selection of non-factional committee members who will oversee Gaza's governance for the next six months.

In parallel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a warning regarding the potential annexation of additional parts of Gaza should Hamas fail to release the hostages.

Speaking in the Knesset, Netanyahu asserted that an increasing number of Gaza residents are recognizing the destruction wrought by Hamas, characterizing this realization as crucial to their strategy.

He indicated that as Hamas continues to refuse to release hostages, the Israeli pressure would intensify, which could include territorial annexation measures.

Regarding the humanitarian situation, medical sources in Gaza reported that since the resumption of Israeli airstrikes, the death toll has risen to 855.

A daily report indicated that during the past 24 hours, hospitals in Gaza received 25 fatalities and 82 injuries as a result of Israeli bombardments.

Local reports further detailed that a child was killed and three others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a home in the town of Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis.

Meanwhile, the World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that its remaining food supply is insufficient for more than two weeks in Gaza, as hunger once again threatens the region with the continuation of military operations.

In an official statement, the WFP noted it has approximately 5,700 tons of food stock left in Gaza, allowing for the distribution of food parcels, flour, and hot meals for a maximum of two weeks.

The WFP highlighted that hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza face severe hunger and malnutrition due to dwindling food aid resources, while borders remain closed to humanitarian assistance.
