- Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says Israel will send negotiators to Qatar for ceasefire talks, but that changes to the deal requested by Hamas are “unacceptable”.
- The Palestinian Health Ministry says Israeli forces have killed at least 743 Palestinians in attacks at sites run by the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) since late May.
- Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 57,338 people and wounded 135,957, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, attacks, and more than 200 were taken captive.
Settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque compound
Our colleagues are reporting, citing local sources, that Israeli settlers have stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Islam’s third-holiest site, in occupied East Jerusalem under the protection of Israeli police.
Settlers are Israeli citizens living illegally on private Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Residents of Nijmegen read the names of people killed in Israel’s war on Gaza
In the city of Nijmegen, a city destroyed during World War II, hundreds of people have signed up to read first the names of the victims of the October 7 attack in Israel, and then the names of the victims of Israel’s war on Gaza.
Jos van Dongen, who helped organise the readings, told Al Jazeera that reading the names of people killed in Hamas’s attack on southern Israel on October 7 2023, took an hour and a half.
He said they are now halfway through the names of Palestinians lost in Israel’s war on Gaza, which he estimates will take about 100 hours.
Israeli forces arrest child in occupied West Bank raid
Israeli forces have arrested three Palestinians, including a child, during a raid on the village of al-Mazraa al-Gharbiya, located northwest of Ramallah, Wafa reports.
According to security forces who spoke to Wafa, the child was 16 years old.
Israeli soldiers also stormed the Am’ari camp, located in the Ramallah and el-Bireh governorate, the agency reported.
What’s in the Gaza ceasefire proposal?
Al Jazeera has obtained details of the draft ceasefire proposal. Here is what it would entail:
- Trump will guarantee the 60-day ceasefire.
- Hamas says it will release 10 living Israeli captives and the bodies of 18, starting on the first day.
- The agreement will allow desperately needed aid into Gaza.
- Supplies, including food, will be distributed through agreed-upon channels, including the UN and the Red Crescent.
- All Israeli army activities will cease across the Strip.
- Other military and surveillance operations will pause for 10 hours a day.
- During the ceasefire, Israel will redeploy its forces in northern Gaza, the Netzarim Corridor and in southern Gaza.
- The proposal allows negotiations on securing a permanent ceasefire to start immediately.
Scepticism and hope for end to Gaza war before Trump-Netanyahu meeting
Netanyahu is visiting the US on Monday, a visit analysts expect will focus on celebrating Israel and the US’s self-anointed victory against Iran and discussing a proposal for a ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.
This is the third time this year Netanyahu will be meeting with Trump. Last week, Trump said Israel had agreed to conditions for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, which would allow all parties to work towards an end to Israel’s 21-month-long war on the besieged enclave.
On Friday, Hamas gave a “positive” response to Qatari and Egyptian mediators about the latest ceasefire proposal.

Israeli soldiers arrest Palestinians in West Bank raids
Israeli forces have arrested three Palestinians, aged between 18 and 21, during a raid on al-Khader town, south of Bethlehem, Wafa reports.
The soldiers fired bullets, tear gas and sound bombs, which led to many citizens suffering from suffocation, the agency added.
Israeli forces also arrested a 16-year-old Palestinian in a raid on Beit Furik town, in Nablus, in the early hours of this morning. They ransacked his home and assaulted him.
What’s the status of the ceasefire talks?
Netanyahu has said changes wanted by Hamas to the 60-day ceasefire proposal are “unacceptable”, but he has sent a delegation to Qatar for indirect talks with the Palestinian group.
The announcement came after Hamas said on Friday that it had provided a “positive” response to the proposal.
Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut, reporting from Jordan, explained that Hamas has made requests for three core amendments to the proposal.
“They wanted the talks for ending the war to continue if there was a pause in the fighting, if that 60 days was over,” she said.
Hamas also wants humanitarian aid to be delivered through UN-led international mechanisms instead of the US- and Israeli-backed GHF.
“The third [request] was about where Israeli forces could be in the Gaza Strip as part of this deal,” Salhut added.
Israeli attacks kill 27 in Gaza today
At least 27 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza today:
- One killed and many wounded in an attack on a home in the Tuffah neighbourhood, northeast of Gaza City
- Two killed in an attack on a tent in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis; three others killed, including children, in attacks targeting tents in the area
- Nine people killed in Sheikh Radwan, north of Gaza City; 12 killed and many stuck under the rubble after an attack on a home in the area
Thousands of families cut off from water in Gaza City
A municipality spokesman has told Al Jazeera that thousands of families in eastern Gaza City have been without water for about a week.
Asem al-Nabi said the water blockade means Palestinians there are now suffering from a state of dehydration that cannot be addressed without external intervention.
Netanyahu sends negotiators to Qatar before meeting with Trump
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has released a statement saying the amendments Hamas wants to add to this latest proposal are unacceptable to Israel. Nonetheless, the Israelis would still be sending a delegation to the Qatari capital, Doha, on Sunday to meet those negotiators to try to bridge the gaps between both sides.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu is headed to Washington to meet US President Donald Trump to talk about this very issue.
There’s been a lot of pressure on Netanyahu, both domestic and international. On the domestic front, you have family members of Israeli captives who have been protesting for nearly 650 days.
And in the political arena, you have his right-wing coalition partners not wanting a deal and wanting assurances from Netanyahu that the war is not actually going to end.
However, there have been some reports of flexibility from the Israeli prime minister. A lot of different reports within Israeli media are citing the fact that Netanyahu is finally showing this willingness, and that’s because of the international pressure from European allies and US President Donald Trump, with whom he is going to sit down and discuss this issue.
Israeli attack kills doctor and 3 of his children in Gaza
