Recent U.S. attacks in Yemen killed 53, including children, amid Gaza truce talks. An Israeli delegation is negotiating in Egypt, while tensions rise with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s plans to dismiss Shin Bet’s chief. Legal implications of this decision are under scrutiny, yet it garners support from his coalition. Continuous updates are provided regarding the evolving situation.
Recent U.S. military actions in Yemen have resulted in the deaths of 53 individuals, including five children, amidst ongoing discussions regarding a truce in Gaza amidst an Israeli blockade. Al Jazeera is currently reporting from Jordan as it faces restrictions in both Israel and the occupied West Bank. In parallel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed that an Israeli delegation is presently in Cairo negotiating with mediators to resolve issues between Israel and Hamas, primarily concerning the second phase of an agreement.
Although Israel has purportedly agreed to a proposal presented by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff for a new 50-day cessation of hostilities, this is contingent upon the release of half of the Israeli captives in Gaza. Hamas seeks to advance to phase two of the negotiations, which would ideally terminate the conflict altogether; however, Israel is hesitant to fully endorse this step. Furthermore, Netanyahu has expressed intentions to dismiss the chief of Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, due to a lack of trust in his capabilities, though this decision has raised legal concerns according to the attorney general.
Despite this, Netanyahu’s coalition is supportive of his move against the Shin Bet leader. Ronen Bar, the Shin Bet chief, has asserted his commitment to fulfilling his duties until all captives are retrieved from Gaza. In related news, those following the conflict can access continued live updates regarding the circumstances in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
