In a dramatic escalation, Israel has launched extensive airstrikes in Gaza, targeting Hamas amid failed ceasefire negotiations. The strikes mark the largest wave since the ceasefire began in January, with tensions rising as talks collapse.
In a surprising shift, U.S. and Hamas officials have held talks in Qatar regarding hostages in Gaza, breaking a long-standing American policy. The discussions aim to secure the release of Edan Alexander and other victims.
In a bold move, Israel halts all humanitarian aid to Gaza, aiming to pressure Hamas for a cease-fire extension. This decision could worsen conditions for millions and complicate hostage negotiations.
