GGC Team · Press Releases & Updates

Twenty-eight people were killed and 94 wounded this week, with an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City police station killing nine, among them eight senior police officers and a 13-year-old girl nearby. Only 562 aid trucks entered, less than a fifth of what Gaza needs. Jared Kushner met Khalil al-Hayya in Egypt and Netanyahu in Israel, and left with no breakthrough but two new working groups. Washington notified Congress of more than $206 million for a proposed International Stabilization Force. Israel opened criminal investigations into the killing of Hind Rajab while declining to charge anyone over the strikes that killed seven World Central Kitchen workers. Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye condemned the escalation. In the West Bank, settlers besieged homes in Qusra and seized a farmers' spring in Fasayil.
