President Vladimir Putin has been invited to join US President Donald Trump's \"Board of Peace\" aimed at resolving conflicts globally and oversee governance and reconstruction in Gaza, the Kremlin said on Monday.\n\n\"President Putin also received an invitation to join this Board of Peace,\" Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Monday.\n\nRussia was seeking to \"clarify all the nuances\" of the offer with Washington, he said, without adding if Putin was inclined to join.\n\nThe White House has reached out to various figures around the world to sit on the so-called \"Board of Peace\" which is chaired by Trump himself.\n\nBut the invitation to Putin is expected to raise eyebrows with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearing its fourth year and the Russian leader seemingly reluctant to commit to a peace deal.\n\nMeanwhile, the European Union's executive arm and Thailand were also asked to join the board which was slammed by a top Israeli official on Monday as \"bad for Israel.\"\n\nEuropean Commission spokesperson Olof Gill confirmed that Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the commission, received an invitation and would be speaking to other EU leaders about Gaza.\n\nGill didn't say whether the invitation has been accepted, but that the commission wants \"to contribute to a comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict.\"\n\nIt's unclear how many leaders have been invited to join the board. But a Trump reference in the invitation letters that the body would \"embark on a bold new approach to resolving global conflict\" suggested it could act as a rival to the UN Security Council, the most powerful body of the global organisation\u00a0created in the wake of World War II.\n\nIsraeli far-right Finance Minister\u00a0Bezalel Smotrich\u00a0dismissed the Board of Peace as a raw deal for Israel on Monday and called for its dissolution.\n\n\"It is time to explain to the president that his plan is bad for the State of Israel and to cancel it,\" Smotrich said at a ceremony inaugurating the new Yatziv settlement in the occupied West Bank.\n\n\"Gaza is ours, its future will affect our future more than anyone else\u2019s. We will take responsibility for what happens there, impose military administration and complete the mission.\"\n\nSmotrich even suggested that Israel renew a full-scale offensive on Gaza to destroy Hamas if it doesn't abide by a \"short ultimatum for real disarmament and exile.\"\n\nOn Saturday, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the formation of the committee wasn\u2019t coordinated with the Israeli government and \"is contrary to its policy.\"\n\nThe US is expected to announce its official list of members in the coming days, likely during the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland.\n\nBoard members will oversee an executive committee that will be in charge of implementing the\u00a0tough second phase\u00a0of the Gaza peace plan that includes the deployment of an international security force, disarmament of Hamas and reconstruction of the war-devastated territory.\n\nA $1 billion contribution secures permanent membership on the board with the money going to rebuild Gaza, according to a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity about the charter, which hasn't been made public.\n\nBut details of how this will also work remain murky. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday that the UK is talking to allies about the Board of Peace.\n\nAlthough the UK hasn't said whether Starmer has been formally invited to join, he said it's necessary to proceed with the Gaza peace plan's second phase and that his country has \"indicated willingness, to play our part, and we will.\"\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin has been invited to join US President Donald Trump's \"Board of Peace\" aimed at resolving conflicts globally and oversee governance and reconstruction in Gaza, the Kremlin said on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\"President Putin also received an invitation to join this Board of Peace,\" Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Russia was seeking to \"clarify all the nuances\" of the offer with Washington, he said, without adding if Putin was inclined to join.<\/p>\n<p>The White House has reached out to various figures around the world to sit on the so-called \"Board of Peace\" which is chaired by Trump himself.<\/p>\n<p>But the invitation to Putin is expected to raise eyebrows with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearing its fourth year and the Russian leader seemingly reluctant to commit to a peace deal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6665\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////images.euronews.com//articles//stories//09//61//81//84//808x539_cmsv2_61962823-fb28-5605-a836-a9e552cdb5d9-9618184.jpg/" alt=\"Russian President Vladimir Putin chairs a Security Council meeting via videoconference at the Kremlin in Moscow, 19 January, 2026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/81\/84\/384x256_cmsv2_61962823-fb28-5605-a836-a9e552cdb5d9-9618184.jpg 384w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/81\/84\/640x427_cmsv2_61962823-fb28-5605-a836-a9e552cdb5d9-9618184.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/81\/84\/750x500_cmsv2_61962823-fb28-5605-a836-a9e552cdb5d9-9618184.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/81\/84\/828x552_cmsv2_61962823-fb28-5605-a836-a9e552cdb5d9-9618184.jpg 828w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/81\/84\/1080x720_cmsv2_61962823-fb28-5605-a836-a9e552cdb5d9-9618184.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/81\/84\/1200x800_cmsv2_61962823-fb28-5605-a836-a9e552cdb5d9-9618184.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/81\/84\/1920x1280_cmsv2_61962823-fb28-5605-a836-a9e552cdb5d9-9618184.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Russian President Vladimir Putin chairs a Security Council meeting via videoconference at the Kremlin in Moscow, 19 January, 2026<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">AP Photo<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the European Union's executive arm and Thailand were also asked to join the board which was slammed by a top Israeli official on Monday as \"bad for Israel.\"<\/p>\n<p>European Commission spokesperson Olof Gill confirmed that Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the commission, received an invitation and would be speaking to other EU leaders about Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Gill didn't say whether the invitation has been accepted, but that the commission wants \"to contribute to a comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict.\"<\/p>\n<p>It's unclear how many leaders have been invited to join the board.

White House released the names of some of the leaders who will play a part in overseeing the next steps in Gaza after the Palestinian committee set to govern the enclave under US supervision met for the first time in Cairo on Friday.\n\nThe committee\u2019s leader, Ali Shaath, an engineer and former Palestinian Authority official from Gaza, pledged to get to work quickly to improve living conditions for the territory\u2019s 2.1 million population.\n\n\u201cThe Palestinian people were looking forward to this committee, its establishment and its work to rescue them,\u201d Shaath said after the meeting, in a television interview on Egyptian media outlets.\n\nUS President Donald Trump supports the group's efforts to govern Gaza after the two-year war between Israel and Hamas. Israeli troops withdrew from parts of Gaza after the ceasefire took effect on 10 October, while thousands of displaced Palestinians have returned to what is left of their homes.\n\nA number of huge challenges still await in the next phase of the truce, including the deployment of an international security force to supervise the ceasefire deal and the difficult process of disarming Hamas.\n\nUnder Trump's plan, Shaath's technocratic committee will run day-to-day affairs in Gaza under the oversight of a Trump-led \u201cBoard of Peace,\u201d whose members have not yet been named.\n\nThe White House said on Friday that an executive board will work to carry out the vision of the Board of Peace.\n\nThe executive board\u2019s members include US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan, World Bank President Ajay Banga, and Trump\u2019s deputy national security adviser Robert Gabriel.\n\nNickolay Mladenov, a former Bulgarian politician and United Nations Middle East envoy, is to serve as the executive board\u2019s representative overseeing day-to-day matters.\n\nThe White House also announced the members of another board, the \u201cGaza Executive Board,\u201d which will work with Mladenov, the technocratic committee and the international stabilisation force.\n\nWitkoff, Kushner, Blair, Rowan and Mladenov will also sit on that board. Additional members include Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Qatari diplomat Ali Al-Thawadi and Director of Egypt\u2019s General Intelligence Agency Hassan Rashad.\n\nThe board will also include Emirati minister Reem Al-Hashimy, Israeli entrepreneur Yakir Gabay and the Netherlands\u2019 former deputy prime minister and a Middle East expert, Sigrid Kaag.\n\nWashington has not yet announced direct roles each of the named people will play, or when they\u2019re expected to commence, but noted that details will be released in the coming weeks.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>The White House released the names of some of the leaders who will play a part in overseeing the next steps in Gaza after the Palestinian committee set to govern the enclave under US supervision met for the first time in Cairo on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The committee\u2019s leader, Ali Shaath, an engineer and former Palestinian Authority official from Gaza, pledged to get to work quickly to improve living conditions for the territory\u2019s 2.1 million population.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Palestinian people were looking forward to this committee, its establishment and its work to rescue them,\u201d Shaath said after the meeting, in a television interview on Egyptian media outlets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6669921875\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////images.euronews.com//articles//stories//09//61//61//79//808x539_cmsv2_7a385bb9-f98c-5942-98e4-044c74ef2b7c-9616179.jpg/" alt=\"Palestinians inspect the rubble of the al-Hawli family home, destroyed in an Israeli strike in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, Friday, Jan. 16, 2026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/61\/79\/384x256_cmsv2_7a385bb9-f98c-5942-98e4-044c74ef2b7c-9616179.jpg 384w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/61\/79\/640x427_cmsv2_7a385bb9-f98c-5942-98e4-044c74ef2b7c-9616179.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/61\/79\/750x500_cmsv2_7a385bb9-f98c-5942-98e4-044c74ef2b7c-9616179.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/61\/79\/828x552_cmsv2_7a385bb9-f98c-5942-98e4-044c74ef2b7c-9616179.jpg 828w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/61\/79\/1080x720_cmsv2_7a385bb9-f98c-5942-98e4-044c74ef2b7c-9616179.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/61\/79\/1200x800_cmsv2_7a385bb9-f98c-5942-98e4-044c74ef2b7c-9616179.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/61\/61\/79\/1920x1281_cmsv2_7a385bb9-f98c-5942-98e4-044c74ef2b7c-9616179.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Palestinians inspect the rubble of the al-Hawli family home, destroyed in an Israeli strike in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, Friday, Jan. 16, 2026<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Abdel Kareem Hana\/Copyright 2026 The AP.

details about who would serve on the new transitional Palestinian administration that would govern Gaza.\n\nThe mediators of the ceasefire deal \u2014 Egypt, Turkey and Qatar \u2014 welcomed the

Hamas to immediately return the final dead hostage as part of its obligations under the deal.\n\nWhile Wednesday's announcement indicates a key step forward, a new government in Gaza and ceasefire

but one hostage it was holding in exchange for hundreds of Palestinians who were held in Israeli prisons.\n\nThe technocratic committee that Witkoff said would be established under the second phase will be tasked with providing public services to the more than 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, but it faces towering challenges and unanswered questions, including about its operations and financing.\n\nThe United Nations has estimated that reconstruction of the Strip will cost more than $50 billion (\u20ac42 billion), a process expected to take years and little money has been pledged so far.\n\nThere also is the more immediate challenge of figuring out how to take over basic services after nearly two decades of Hamas-led rule in Gaza and repeated rounds of conflict with

The announcement included photos of the two men and a short video of them shaking hands.\n\nIn the announcement, Netanyahu identified Mladenov as the \"designated\" director-general for the board, which is meant to oversee the implementation of the second and far more complicated phase of the cease-fire.\n\nThere was no immediate confirmation from Washington but the appointment marks an important step forward for Trump's Middle East peace plan, which has stalled since an October ceasefire ending more than two years of fighting between Israel and Hamas.\n\nTrump is expected to name the members of the board later this month, with Mladenov serving as their on-the-ground representative.\n\nA senior US official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the appointment has not been officially announced, confirmed Mladenov is the Trump administration's choice to be the day-to-day administrator of the Board of Peace.\n\nUnder Trump's plan, the board is supposed to supervise a new technocratic Palestinian government, the disarmament of Hamas, the deployment of an international security force, additional pullbacks of Israeli troops and reconstruction of the Strip.\n\nMladenov is a former Bulgarian defence and foreign minister who served as the UN envoy to Iraq before being appointed as the UN Middle East peace envoy from 2015-2020. During that time, he frequently worked to ease tensions between Israel and Hamas.\n\nThe first phase of the ceasefire, which started on 10 October last year, halted the fighting and saw an exchange of hostages held by Hamas in exchange for hundreds of Palestinians held by Israel.\n\nThe deal has largely held, though it has been marred by mutual accusations of violations.\n\nHamas has still not returned the body of one hostage; an Israeli policeman killed in the 7 October 2023 incursion that triggered the war.\n\nContinued Israeli strikes in Gaza, meanwhile, have killed over 400 Palestinians, according to local health officials.\n\nIsrael says the strikes have been in response to violations of the deal, but Palestinian health officials say scores of civilians have been among the dead.\n\nHamas refuses to disarm\n\nOn Thursday, Egyptian and European Union leaders meeting in Cairo urged the deployment of an international stabilisation force in Gaza to oversee the October ceasefire.\n\n\"The situation is extremely severe.

said on Tuesday that it will suspend\u00a0the work of more than two dozen humanitarian organisations for failing to meet its new rules to vet international agencies working in Gaza.\n\nThe Ministry of Diaspora Affairs said that the organisations facing bans on 1 January didn't meet new requirements for sharing staff, funding and operations information.\n\nThe ministry said that around 25 organisations, or 15%, of non-governmental organisations working in Gaza didn't have their permits renewed.\n\nIt accused Doctors Without Borders (MSF), one of the largest health organisations operating in Gaza, of failing to clarify the roles of some staff that Israel accused of cooperation with Hamas and other militant groups.\n\nOther major organisations whose permits weren't renewed include the Norwegian Refugee Council, CARE International, the International Rescue Committee, and divisions of major charities such as Oxfam and Caritas, according to a list from the ministry.\n\nThe organisations help with a variety of social services, including food distribution, health care, disability services, education and mental health.\n\nIsrael and international groups have been\u00a0at odds over the amount of aid\u00a0going into Gaza. Israel says it's upholding the aid commitments laid out in the latest ceasefire that took effect on 10 October, but humanitarian agencies dispute Israel\u2019s numbers and say more aid is desperately needed in the devastated Palestinian territory of more than 2 million people.\n\nNew regulations\n\nEarlier this year, Israel changed its registration process for aid groups, which included a requirement to submit a list of staff, including Palestinians in Gaza.\n\nSome aid groups say they didn't submit the list of Palestinian staff for fear they'd be targeted by Israel and because of data protection laws in Europe.\n\n\"It comes from a legal and safety perspective. In Gaza, we saw hundreds of aid workers get killed,\" said Shaina Low, communications adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council.\n\nThe decision not to renew aid groups\u2019 licenses means offices in Israel and East Jerusalem will close and organisations won\u2019t be able to send international staff or aid into Gaza.\n\n\"Despite the ceasefire, the needs in Gaza are enormous and yet we and dozens of other organisations are and will continue to be blocked from bringing in essential life-saving assistance,\" Low said. \"Not being able to send staff into Gaza means all of the workload falls on our exhausted local staff.\"\n\nIsrael says exploitation unwelcome\n\nThe decision means the aid groups will have their license revoked on 1 January and if they are located in Israel, they will need to leave by 1 March, according to the ministry.\n\n\"The message is clear: humanitarian assistance is welcome \u2014 the exploitation of humanitarian frameworks for terrorism is not,\" said Amichai Chikli, the minister of diaspora affairs and combating antisemitism.\n\nThe Israeli defence body that oversees humanitarian aid to Gaza, COGAT, said that the organisations on the list contribute less than 1% of the total aid going into the Gaza Strip and that help will continue to enter from more than 20 organisations that did receive permits to continue operating in Gaza.\n\n\"The registration process is intended to prevent the exploitation of aid by Hamas, which in the past operated under the cover of certain international aid organizations, knowingly or unknowingly,\" COGAT said in a statement.\n\nThis isn't the first time Israel has tried to crack down on international humanitarian groups. Throughout the war, Israel has accused the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) of being infiltrated by Hamas, using its facilities and taking aid.

Three Palestinian children had to be rushed to the hospital. The attackers also killed three sheep and injured four others in the stable, according to officials.\n\nAn office documenting attacks within a Palestinian governmental body, the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, released CCTV footage in which five settlers can be seen wearing masks and dark clothing, some equipped with batons.\n\nPolice say they are investigating the incident and added that they arrested five settlers on suspicion of trespassing onto Palestinian land, damaging property and dispensing pepper spray, rather than tear gas.\n\nThe attack marked the second attack on the family in less than two months' time, a commission official said, adding that it was \u201cpart of a systematic and ongoing pattern of settler violence targeting Palestinian civilians, their property and their means of livelihood, carried out with impunity under the protection of the Israeli occupation\".\n\nAttacks by Israeli settlers often rise during the olive harvest season, from September to November, a critical period for Palestinian income.\n\nDuring October's olive harvest, settlers across the territory launched an average of eight attacks daily, according to the United Nations humanitarian office.\n\nThe West Bank is home to some 3 million Palestinians and more than half a million Israeli settlers.\n\nThe international community considers West Bank settlements illegal under international law, which Israel disputes.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz backtracked on a pledge on Tuesday that Israel would establish settlements in Gaza, following criticism the statement goes against the US-led peace plan for the Strip.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, Katz said that \"with God's help,\" Israel would establish pioneer groups in northern Gaza \u201cin place of the settlements that were evacuated.\"<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will do this in the right way, at the appropriate time,\u201d he added.

Israel says three of its soldiers have been killed since the ceasefire began.\n\nOn Sunday, Israel\u2019s military said it had killed a \u201cterrorist\u201d who crossed the line and approached troops in northern Gaza.\n\nIsrael has demanded that Palestinian militants return the remains of the final hostage, Ran Gvili, from Gaza and called it a condition of moving to the second and more complicated phase of the ceasefire. That lays out a vision for ending Hamas\u2019 rule and seeing the rebuilding of a demilitarised Gaza under international supervision.\n\nHumanitarian crisis continues to spiral\n\nWhen the ceasefire took hold , a surge of humanitarian aid was able to enter Gaza for the first time in months after Israel had blocked most of it from entering the territory.\n\nBut aid groups say not enough shelter materials are getting into Gaza during the truce. Figures recently released by Israel's military suggest it hasn't met the ceasefire stipulation of allowing 600 trucks of aid into Gaza a day, though Israel disputes that finding.\n\nAs winter storm Byron descended on the war-battered territory, rains and dropping temperatures have caused even more suffering to displaced Palestinians living in Gaza's tent camps.\n\n\u201cCold, overcrowded, and unsanitary environments heighten the risk of illness and infection,\u201d the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said on X. \u201cThis suffering could be prevented by unhindered humanitarian aid, including medical support and proper shelter.\"\n\nThe ceasefire agreement specified that Israel let in a number of caravans and tents. No caravans have yet entered Gaza during the ceasefire, said Tania Hary, executive director of Gisha, an Israeli group advocating for Palestinians\u2019 right to freedom of movement.\n\nThe Israeli military body in charge of coordinating aid to Gaza, called COGAT, said on 9 December it had \u201clately\" let 260,000 tents and tarpaulins into Gaza and more than 1,500 trucks of blankets and warm clothing.\n\nShelter Cluster, an international coalition of aid providers led by the Norwegian Refugee Council, sets the number lower. It says the UN and international nongovernmental organisations have gotten 15,590 tents into Gaza since the truce began, and other countries have sent about 48,000. Many of the tents aren't properly insulated, it says.\n\nScenes of flooding in Gaza have shown how profoundly the Israel-Hamas war has damaged the territory, destroying the majority of homes. Gaza\u2019s population of around 2 million is almost entirely displaced, and most people live in vast tent camps stretching along the coast, or set up among the shells of damaged buildings without adequate flooding infrastructure and with cesspits dug near tents as toilets.\n\nAt least three buildings in Gaza City already damaged by Israeli bombardment during the war partially collapsed under the rain, Palestinian Civil Defence said. It warned people not to stay inside damaged buildings, saying they too could fall down on top of them.\n\nThe agency also said that since the storm began, they have received more than 2,500 distress calls from people across Gaza whose tents and shelters were damaged.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Hamas has confirmed the death of a top commander in Gaza, killed in an Israeli air strike on a car outside Gaza City on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The death of Raed Saad, described in a Hamas statement as the commander of its military manufacturing unit, was the highest-profile assassination of a senior Hamas official since a ceasefire agreement came into effect in October.<\/p>\n<p>The attack killed four people and wounded 25 others, according to hospital officials.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, who lives in exile, said the attack was one of a series of ceasefire violations committed by Israel since the start of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>In a televised address, al-Hayya said Israel's violations \"threaten the viability of the agreement.\"<\/p>\n<p>\"We call on mediators, and especially the main guarantor, the US administration and President Donald Trump, to work on obliging Israel to respect the ceasefire and commit to it,\" he added.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6665\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////images.euronews.com//articles//stories//09//58//28//58//808x539_cmsv2_d12a6650-447d-5d09-96ba-94c2744aecde-9582858.jpg/" alt=\"Palestinians drive past a destroyed car following an Israeli strike in Gaza City, Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/384x256_cmsv2_d12a6650-447d-5d09-96ba-94c2744aecde-9582858.jpg 384w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/640x427_cmsv2_d12a6650-447d-5d09-96ba-94c2744aecde-9582858.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/750x500_cmsv2_d12a6650-447d-5d09-96ba-94c2744aecde-9582858.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/828x552_cmsv2_d12a6650-447d-5d09-96ba-94c2744aecde-9582858.jpg 828w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/1080x720_cmsv2_d12a6650-447d-5d09-96ba-94c2744aecde-9582858.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/1200x800_cmsv2_d12a6650-447d-5d09-96ba-94c2744aecde-9582858.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/1920x1280_cmsv2_d12a6650-447d-5d09-96ba-94c2744aecde-9582858.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Palestinians drive past a destroyed car following an Israeli strike in Gaza City, Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025.<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">AP Photo\/Jehad Alshrafi<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Hamas also said it had named a new commander but did not give details, adding that it had the right to \u201crespond to the occupation\u2019s aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Israel had described Saad as an architect of the 7 October 2023 attack that sparked the war in Gaza, and claimed that he had been \u201cengaged in rebuilding the terrorist organisation\u201d in a violation of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>Israel said it killed Saad after an explosive device detonated and wounded two soldiers in the territory\u2019s south.<\/p>\n<p>Israel and Hamas have repeatedly accused each other of truce violations.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli airstrikes and shootings in Gaza have killed at least 391 Palestinians since the ceasefire took hold, according to Palestinian health officials. <\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6665\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////images.euronews.com//articles//stories//09//58//28//58//808x539_cmsv2_2917fb35-380e-5456-80f2-fd2b5b44f9a3-9582858.jpg/" alt=\"A Palestinian man fires in the air during the funeral of Hamas&#x27;

Figures recently released by Israel's military suggest it hasn't met the ceasefire stipulation of allowing 600 trucks of aid into Gaza a day, though Israel disputes that finding.<\/p>\n<p>As winter storm Byron descended on the war-battered territory, rains and dropping temperatures have caused even more suffering to displaced Palestinians living in Gaza's tent camps. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCold, overcrowded, and unsanitary environments heighten the risk of illness and infection,\u201d the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said on X. \u201cThis suffering could be prevented by unhindered humanitarian aid, including medical support and proper shelter.\"<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6665\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////images.euronews.com//articles//stories//09//58//28//58//808x539_cmsv2_7ae06ac2-a296-5b30-ae19-d93254d4fcd7-9582858.jpg/" alt=\"A Palestinian youth walks through a flooded area in a temporary tent camp after heavy rainfall in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, Friday, Dec. 12, 2025.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/384x256_cmsv2_7ae06ac2-a296-5b30-ae19-d93254d4fcd7-9582858.jpg 384w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/640x427_cmsv2_7ae06ac2-a296-5b30-ae19-d93254d4fcd7-9582858.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/750x500_cmsv2_7ae06ac2-a296-5b30-ae19-d93254d4fcd7-9582858.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/828x552_cmsv2_7ae06ac2-a296-5b30-ae19-d93254d4fcd7-9582858.jpg 828w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/1080x720_cmsv2_7ae06ac2-a296-5b30-ae19-d93254d4fcd7-9582858.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/1200x800_cmsv2_7ae06ac2-a296-5b30-ae19-d93254d4fcd7-9582858.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/58\/28\/58\/1920x1280_cmsv2_7ae06ac2-a296-5b30-ae19-d93254d4fcd7-9582858.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">A Palestinian youth walks through a flooded area in a temporary tent camp after heavy rainfall in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, Friday, Dec. 12, 2025.<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">AP Photo\/Abdel Kareem Hana<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The ceasefire agreement specified that Israel let in a number of caravans and tents. No caravans have yet entered Gaza during the ceasefire, said Tania Hary, executive director of Gisha, an Israeli group advocating for Palestinians\u2019 right to freedom of movement.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military body in charge of coordinating aid to Gaza, called COGAT, said on 9 December it had \u201clately\" let 260,000 tents and tarpaulins into Gaza and more than 1,500 trucks of blankets and warm clothing.<\/p>\n<p>Shelter Cluster, an international coalition of aid providers led by the Norwegian Refugee Council, sets the number lower. It says the UN and international nongovernmental organisations have gotten 15,590 tents into Gaza since the truce began, and other countries have sent about 48,000. Many of the tents aren't properly insulated, it says.<\/p>\n<p>Scenes of flooding in Gaza have shown how profoundly the Israel-Hamas war has damaged the territory, destroying the majority of homes. Gaza\u2019s population of around 2 million is almost entirely displaced, and most people live in vast tent camps stretching along the coast, or set up among the shells of damaged buildings without adequate flooding infrastructure and with cesspits dug near tents as toilets.<\/p>\n<p>At least three buildings in Gaza City already damaged by Israeli bombardment during the war partially collapsed under the rain, Palestinian Civil Defence said. It warned people not to stay inside damaged buildings, saying they too could fall down on top of them.<\/p>\n<p>The agency also said that since the storm began, they have received more than 2,500 distress calls from people across Gaza whose tents and shelters were damaged.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1765770002,"updatedAt":1765786818,"publishedAt":1765774117,"firstPublishedAt":1765774117,"lastPublishedAt":1765774451,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"sourceUrl":null,"sourceCredit":null,"callToActionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"AP

one of 251 people taken as hostages back to Gaza in the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel.\n\nShe was one of seven female soldiers serving in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) who was kidnapped from the Nahal Oz military base.\n\nShe was ultimately held in Gaza city where the Israeli military said she had sustained injuries during bombing but none were considered life-threatening.\n\n\"Noa was my eldest daughter and there's not a day when I don't miss her,\" Marciano said.\n\nHer body was recovered from a building next to the Al-Shifa Hospital where she was allegedly killed and returned to Israel for burial.\n\nHamas says she died in an air strike, a claim disputed by her father after receiving the video allegedly showing her death on Telegram.\n\nMarciano described seeing the video as the \"biggest nightmare you could ever imagine.\"\n\nLabyrinth of tunnels under Gaza\n\nMeanwhile, earlier this week Israeli soldiers took journalists inside one of the network of underground tunnels constructed and used by Hamas which reportedly criss-cross most of the Gaza Strip.\n\nSoldiers escorted journalists inside one such tunnel in the southern city of Rafah, which they said was one of Hamas' most significant and complex underground routes, connecting cities in the embattled territory and used by top Hamas commanders.\n\nIsrael says Hamas kept most of the hostages in such tunnels until all were released as part of ceasefire agreements.\n\nHamas returned the last living hostages as part of a US-brokered ceasefire, the first phase of which came into force on 10 October ending just over two years of fighting.\n\nIsrael's retaliatory offensive against Hamas killed more than 70,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry, which operates under the Hamas-run government.\n\nThe ministry does not differentiate between civilians and combatants, but says roughly half the dead have been women and children.\n\nIsrael and Hamas are on the cusp of finishing the first phase of the truce, which mandated the return of all hostages, living and dead, in exchange for Palestinians held by Israel.\n\nThe body of just\u00a0one more deceased hostage remains to be returned.\n\nMediators warn the second phase will be far more challenging since it includes\u00a0tougher issues, \u00a0such as\u00a0disarming Hamas\u00a0and Israel's complete military withdrawal from the strip.\n\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to travel to Washington later this month to discuss those next steps with US President Donald Trump.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>The father of an Israeli woman who was abducted by Hamas during the 2023 incursion into southern Israel has claimed his daughter was later murdered by a doctor in

people, most of them civilians.\n\n\"Through its research findings and legal analysis, Amnesty International has concluded that Palestinian armed groups committed violations of international humanitarian law, war crimes and crimes against humanity,\" the report stated.\n\nHamas, including its military wing the Al-Qassam Brigades, bore primary responsibility for the violations, according to the organisation.\n\nOther groups including Palestinian Islamic Jihad's Al-Quds Brigades and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades were responsible to a lesser extent, as were some unaffiliated Palestinian civilians from Gaza.\n\nWidespread and sistematic\n\nSome 1,200 people were killed during the attacks, most of them civilians, including at least 36 children. Victims included Jewish Israelis, Bedouin citizens of Israel, and foreign national migrant workers, students and asylum seekers.\n\nAnother 251 people were forcibly taken to Gaza on 7 October 2023. The majority were seized alive and held in captivity for weeks, months or in some cases over two years, while 36 were reportedly already dead when captured.\n\nHamas has claimed its forces did not target or mistreat civilians during the attacks, asserting that Israeli fire caused many civilian deaths and denying it planned to seize civilians as hostages.\n\nHowever, Amnesty said that \"based on extensive video, testimonial and other evidence\" the vast majority of those who died were killed by Hamas-led militants.\n\nThe organisation documented evidence that some of those captured on 7 October were subjected to physical and sexual violence, either in Israel or in Gaza, though it said it was unable to determine the extent of sexual violence.\n\nAll those taken to Gaza were unlawfully detained as hostages and subjected to psychological abuse, according to the report.\n\nAmnesty said the overwhelming number of civilian locations targeted, statements from Hamas leaders, the repeated pattern of attacks deliberately targeting civilians, and the fact that most killed, injured or abducted were civilians, all pointed to the conclusion that the attack was directed against a civilian population.\n\nEvidence collected and analysed by Amnesty International ... points to Hamas leaders intending to carry out an attack on civilians, as well as on military targets, in Israel and to take hostages,\" the report stated.\n\nThe attack was both widespread and systematic, with prohibited acts committed in civilian communities throughout areas surrounding Gaza, Amnesty found.\n\nIn statements made on and after 7 October 2023, Hamas leaders said civilian communities in Israel, including kibbutzim, were among the intended targets of the attack, according to the report.\n\nThe organisation concluded that violations documented included the war crimes of murder, cruel treatment and torture, taking of hostages, attacks on civilians, pillage, rape and sexual violence, attacks on civilian objects, and enforced disappearance.\n\nMore than 4,000 people were injured and hundreds of homes and civilian structures were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable. Tens of thousands of residents from the attacked areas were displaced, with thousands remaining displaced more than two years later.\n\nTo date, no one has been brought to justice for the crimes committed during the 7 October 2023 attacks, Amnesty said.\n\nThe first phase of the US-brokered ceasefire that began on 10 October has neared completion, with disputes over Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal threatening to derail the fragile truce's second stage.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Palestinian armed groups committed crimes against humanity during the 7 October 2023 attacks on southern Israel and in their subsequent treatment of hostages, Amnesty International concluded in a report published on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The human rights organisation said Hamas-led militants carried out war crimes including murder, torture, hostage-taking and sexual violence during the attacks that killed around 1,200 people, most of them civilians.<\/p>\n<p>\"Through its research findings and legal analysis, Amnesty International has concluded that Palestinian armed groups committed violations of international humanitarian law, war crimes and crimes against humanity,\" the report stated.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas, including its military wing the Al-Qassam Brigades, bore primary responsibility for the violations, according to the organisation. <\/p>\n<p>Other groups including Palestinian Islamic Jihad's Al-Quds Brigades and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades were responsible to a lesser extent, as were some unaffiliated Palestinian civilians from Gaza.<\/p>\n<h2>Widespread and sistematic<\/h2>\n<p>Some 1,200 people were killed during the attacks, most of them civilians, including at least 36 children.

people were killed and 32 others injured on Wednesday in an Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza that the Israeli military said was a response to an attack earlier in the day that wounded five Israeli soldiers.\n\nAccording to medics in Khan Younis, two children, aged eight and 10, were among the dead.\n\nThe attack was the most recent test of a ceasefire that, despite allegations of violations by both sides, has largely held since early October.\n\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas violated the ceasefire on Wednesday when, according to the army, militants emerged from a tunnel and attacked Israeli soldiers in an area under their control.\n\nIsrael has accused Hamas of ceasefire violations before launching previous airstrikes. Strikes killed 104 people in late October and 33 people in late November, according to local health officials.\n\nEarlier on Wednesday, Israel said it received, via the Red Cross, the remains of a Thai national, one of the last remains of hostages killed in the Hamas-led militant attack on Southern Israel on 7 October 2023.\n\nAccording to the Israeli prime minister's office, the body received on Wednesday was that of 43-year-old farm worker Suthisak Rintalak, one of two last dead hostages remaining in Gaza.\n\nThe remains were found on Wednesday by militants in northern Gaza after Israel announced the remains that Hamas handed over on Tuesday did not match either of the last two hostages.\n\nA total of 31 workers from Thailand were abducted, the largest group of foreigners to be held in captivity.\n\nThe return of all the hostages taken during the 7 October attack that started the Israel-Hamas war is a key part of the first phase of the ceasefire that began in October. Israel has released scores of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.\n\nIsrael says Rafah crossing to open soon\n\nMeanwhile, Israel says it would open up the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, which would allow Palestinians to leave Gaza.\n\nAccording to the Israeli military body charged with facilitating aid to the Strip, COGAT, Israel would, in a few days, coordinate with Egypt on the exit of Palestinians, under the supervision of an EU mission.\n\nThose wishing to leave Gaza will require \u201cIsraeli security approval,\u201d COGAT said.\n\nUnder the terms of the ceasefire, the long-closed Rafah crossing is to be opened for medical evacuations and travel to and from the Strip.\n\nOver 16,500 people in need of medical care require leaving Gaza for treatment, according to the World Health Organisation.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Five people were killed and 32 others injured on Wednesday in an Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza that the Israeli military said was a response to an attack earlier in the day that wounded five Israeli soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>According to medics in Khan Younis, two children, aged eight and 10, were among the dead.<\/p>\n<p>The attack was the most recent test of a ceasefire that, despite allegations of violations by both sides, has largely held since early October. <\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas violated the ceasefire on Wednesday when, according to the army, militants emerged from a tunnel and attacked Israeli soldiers in an area under their control.<\/p>\n<p>Israel has accused Hamas of ceasefire violations before launching previous airstrikes.

EU has confirmed a financial contribution of \u20ac82 million to the Palestinian Authority (PA) to support stabilisation efforts in the West Bank, at the first meeting of the Palestine Donor Group in Brussels on Thursday.\n\n\"Our aim is to strengthen governance, build a more resilient economy, stabilise finances, improve services for the population, and create conditions for future effective governance across all territories\", Dubravka \u0160uica, EU Commissioner for the Mediterranean said.\n\nAlthough this money was already pledged, and no additional commitment was announced by the EU, the Palestinian minister of Planning and International Cooperation told Euronews that this renewed financial support is key to keep the Palestinian Authority afloat and provide basic services for the Palestinian people.\n\nHowever, the minister says that the best way to strengthen the Palestinian Authority's financial situation would be the release of $4 billion (\u20ac3.5 billion) of tax revenues withheld by Israel.\n\nUnder the 1993 Oslo Accords, Israel collects taxes and customs duties imposed on goods imported into Palestinian territories, and is then supposed to transfer the funds to the Palestinian Authority.\n\n\"We haven't received our money from Israel for six consecutive month, and that money constitutes 68 percent of the Palestinian revenues. No country in the world can function without 68% of its revenues\", Estephan Salameh, Palestinian Minister of Planning and International Cooperation said.\n\nThe 60 delegations attending the Palestine Donor Group meeting also stressed the need for the Palestinian Authority, which currently administers only parts of the West Bank, to pursue its fiscal, economic, governance, social and education reforms.\n\n\"We have what we call the reform matrix between us and the European Union. It is built around four main pillars and 53 actions or milestones\", the minister explained.\n\n\"Out of the 53 milestones, we've achieved 21 of the key milestones, and then the rest are already scheduled to be implemented next year and in 2027\", he added.\n\n'Martyrs fund' in the spotlight\n\nThe conference took place at a sensitive time, following Israeli allegations that the Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund was still operating through bypass channels and that EU funds had been used to finance this programme, which officially ended in February.\n\nThe Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund was a programme aimed at providing financial support to families of Palestinians injured, killed or imprisoned by Israel. The scheme has been criticized as a \"pay for slay\" mechanism by Israel and the United States who believe it encourages and rewards attacks against Israel.\n\nThe Palestinian Authority denies these accusations.\n\n\"We never used EU funds to this category of our people, which is the families of prisoners and martyrs and injured\", Salameh stressed.\n\n\"The EU has enough audits to discover that. Palestine is the most scrutinised country in the world, so it's not easy to misuse any of the funds. And we have no intention, of course, to do that\", he claimed.\n\nThe minister said that since the passing of a new law, financial aid is now provided to the population based on 42 social-based criteria. Families of Palestinians injured, killed or imprisoned by Israel are also required to submit an application and will only receive a financial aid if they fit these social criteria, he said.\n\n\"We need to make sure that all segments of our society are also supported, because we don't want them to resort to violence. We don't want them to resort to radicalism. It is important to show them a different path, and that path comes with opportunities\", he added.\n\nPeace plan resolution 'a good step forward' with shortcomings\n\nThe Palestine Donor Group conference took place a few days after the adoption of a UN Security Council resolution endorsing a peace plan put forward by the United States - to which the EU didn't contribute - and authorizing an International Stabilization Force in Gaza.\n\nThe UN resolution approves US President Donald Trump's oversight of a transitional authority and foresees an upcoming path to an independent Palestinian state.\n\nEstephan Salameh says that although this resolution is a good step forward as the priority is to stop the war, it comes short in a number of things.\n\n\"The reference to self-determination, to the two-state solution, to the establishment of the Palestinian state, is very lame. It's not strong, it's not very visible. It has no elements of accountability in it\", he said.\n\n\"It's also not clear about the borders. It's also not clear about the transitional period. It's kind of like vague. So what laws are going to be applied in Gaza? Are they going to respect the property rights? (...) Who's going to provide the basic services to our people : water, electricity, health care, education ? Who's gonna issue passports?\", he added.\n\nThe Palestine Donor Group conference can be seen as an EU attempt to have a say in the negotiations and the opportunity for the Palestinian Authority to stress that reconstruction and recovery efforts in Gaza should be led by the Palestinian Authority.\n\nFor now, the ceasefire remains fragile and Hamas refuses to disarm. The minister says that the PA's priority is to stop the war in the Gaza Strip and adds that Israel should open the borders to let humanitarian aid enter into the Strip.\n\nThe popularity of the Palestinian Authority has, however, been declining over the years. Only 29% of respondents were satisfied with the PA's performance during the war, according to a poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip last month.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>The EU has confirmed a financial contribution of \u20ac82 million to the Palestinian Authority (PA) to support stabilisation efforts in the West Bank, at the first meeting of the Palestine Donor Group in Brussels on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\"Our aim is to strengthen governance, build a more resilient economy, stabilise finances, improve services for the population, and create conditions for future effective governance across all territories\", Dubravka \u0160uica, EU Commissioner for the Mediterranean said. <\/p>\n<p>Although this money was already pledged, and no additional commitment was announced by the EU, the Palestinian minister of Planning and International Cooperation told Euronews that this renewed financial support is key to keep the Palestinian Authority afloat and provide basic services for the Palestinian people. <\/p>\n<p>However, the minister says that the best way to strengthen the Palestinian Authority's financial situation would be the release of $4 billion (\u20ac3.5 billion) of tax revenues withheld by Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Under the 1993 Oslo Accords, Israel collects taxes and customs duties imposed on goods imported into Palestinian territories, and is then supposed to transfer the funds to the Palestinian Authority. <\/p>\n<p>\"We haven't received our money from Israel for six consecutive month, and that money constitutes 68 percent of the Palestinian revenues.

An Israeli military official they may not be the bodies of the missing hostages.\n\nThe source, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorised to speak to the media, said the remains had earlier been turned over to the Red Cross by Hamas in Gaza.\n\nThe handover follows Israel's return of the bodies of 30 Palestinians to authorities in Gaza on Friday. That completed an exchange after militants turned over remains of two hostages, in a sign that the tense Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement is edging forward, though incrementally.\n\nThe exchange came despite Israeli strikes on Gaza this week that killed more than 100 Palestinians. Israeli officials say the aerial attacks on the enclave were carried \u00a0after an Israeli soldier, stationed in Gaza, was killed in clashes and skirmishes.\n\nThe bodies were also transferred with the Red Cross serving as intermediary. The return of the Palestinian remains was confirmed by a doctor at Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis, where medical workers were scrambling to identify them.\n\nPhotos showed the Palestinians\u2019 remains, in white body bags, arranged in rows inside the grounds of Nasser Hospital. Health officials in Gaza have struggled to identify bodies as they lack access to DNA kits.\n\nThe handover brings the number of Palestinian bodies returned by Israel to 225 since a fragile US-brokered ceasefire came into force on 10 October. Only 75 of those bodies have been identified by families, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.\n\nIt is unclear if those returned were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led 7 October 2023 attacks, died in Israeli custody as detainees or were recovered from Gaza by troops during the war.\n\nThe bodies returned had been \u201ctorn apart and exhumed,\u201d Munir al-Bursh, director general of Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry, said in a post on social media.\n\n\u201cTheir flesh had melted, their faces erased by fire, leaving behind only bones and teeth,\u201d he added.\n\nThe Israeli military has previously claimed that all bodies returned so far are those of Hamas combatants. The military has said it operates in accordance with international law. Families of the bodies which have been identified however claim they were not.\n\nHamas has now returned all 20 living hostages, in addition to the remains of 17 deceased ones since the start of the ceasefire. 11 others still in Gaza and are required to be turned over under the terms of the agreement, based on US President Donald Trump\u2019s proposal.\n\nIsrael said nine bodies of the remaining deceased hostages are Israeli nationals, while the other two were workers from Thailand and Tanzania.\n\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly threatened to resume the fighting if the bodies are not returned quickly.

That completed an exchange after militants turned over remains of two hostages, in a sign that the tense Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement is edging forward, though incrementally.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange came despite Israeli strikes on Gaza this week that killed more than 100 Palestinians. Israeli officials say the aerial attacks on the enclave were carried after an Israeli soldier, stationed in Gaza, was killed in clashes and skirmishes.<\/p>\n<p>The bodies were also transferred with the Red Cross serving as intermediary. The return of the Palestinian remains was confirmed by a doctor at Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis, where medical workers were scrambling to identify them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6669921875\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////images.euronews.com//articles//stories//09//53//32//89//808x539_cmsv2_4fdcf63c-7be7-5634-bffb-4cf4ac897736-9533289.jpg/" alt=\"Bodies of unidentified Palestinians returned from Israel as part of the ceasefire deal are brought to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip, Friday, Oct. 31, 2025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/53\/32\/89\/384x256_cmsv2_4fdcf63c-7be7-5634-bffb-4cf4ac897736-9533289.jpg 384w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/53\/32\/89\/640x427_cmsv2_4fdcf63c-7be7-5634-bffb-4cf4ac897736-9533289.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/53\/32\/89\/750x500_cmsv2_4fdcf63c-7be7-5634-bffb-4cf4ac897736-9533289.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/53\/32\/89\/828x552_cmsv2_4fdcf63c-7be7-5634-bffb-4cf4ac897736-9533289.jpg 828w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/53\/32\/89\/1080x720_cmsv2_4fdcf63c-7be7-5634-bffb-4cf4ac897736-9533289.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/53\/32\/89\/1200x800_cmsv2_4fdcf63c-7be7-5634-bffb-4cf4ac897736-9533289.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/53\/32\/89\/1920x1281_cmsv2_4fdcf63c-7be7-5634-bffb-4cf4ac897736-9533289.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Bodies of unidentified Palestinians returned from Israel as part of the ceasefire deal are brought to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip, Friday, Oct. 31, 2025<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Abdel Kareem Hana\/Copyright 2025 The AP.
