Netanyahu says Israel killed Hamas finance official in Khan Younis

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz say an Israeli strike in Khan Younis killed Muhammad Abu Alwan, whom they claim was the head of Hamas’s finance department.

The strike comes despite a “ceasefire” in place since October 2025. The ceasefire framework calls for military operations to end.

In a joint statement posted by the Israeli prime minister’s account on X, they praised the Israeli military and domestic intelligence agency for what they called a “precise operation”.

Earlier, Nasser Medical Complex said that at least two people had been killed in an Israeli air strike on a vehicle in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis. It remained unclear if this was the attack referred to in Netanyahu’s statement. A Palestinian was separately injured by Israeli gunfire north of Khan Younis.

Elsewhere in Gaza, a person has also been killed in a drone attack on a camp for displaced people northeast of Gaza City. Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital also reported that a woman was killed after being shot by Israeli forces in the Bureij refugee camp.

Netanyahu and Katz’s statement did not address those reports.

Palestinians in Gaza ask what the Board of Peace proposals will really mean?

Palestinians in Gaza are asking what the Board of Peace will change on the ground. Will their homes be rebuilt? Will hospitals return to providing services? Will displaced families, who are crammed west of the Gaza Strip, be returned to the areas that are now under Israeli military control? And these areas, which they once called home, will they return there?

They don’t want to see promises being discussed internationally. They want to see a real, tangible change here on the ground, as they have been living in the same cycle of fear, displacement, and lack of basic necessities and medical care. They’ve been living in this same cycle since the war began, and we are approaching almost a year since the “ceasefire” brokered in October 2025.

People are asking whether these proposals and reconstruction plans, which are being discussed at the table, will move forward and have a real, tangible effect here on the ground.

All parties must meet commitments to peace plan: Head of Board of Peace for Gaza

The director-general of the Board of Peace for Gaza Nickolay Mladenov says all parties must meet their commitments to the peace plan announced in October 2025.

Maldenov told a meeting of the Board of Peace that the authority of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) will increase gradually “with every weapon that is accounted for and every Israeli force that moves back to the perimeter”.

He added that the goal for the Board of Peace is to have Gaza under “a unified transitional administration” of the NCAG, the body set up to run the strip according to the peace plan.

Gaza reconstruction plans fail to address funding as genocidal war continues

Omar Shaban, director of the Gaza-based PalThink for Strategic Studies, says reconstruction plans announced by the Board of Peace will not address the key issues.

“This is not new,” he said. “Thirty plans have been prepared under the title Gaza reconstruction.”

Shaban says most of the plans “have not answered the key question: Who is going to fund the [reconstruction]?”

“Everybody talks about the reconstruction of Gaza, but the reality is completely different. The war continues,” he said.

The lack of a political process and governance structure is making countries reluctant to provide support, Shaban maintained.

“Countries are not ready to support Gaza for many reasons; one is that there is no political path.”

UNGA Summit

UK prime minister urges two-state solution at UNGA

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the UN General Assembly that “we will do all we can” to see Israeli and Palestinian people “living side by side in peace and security”.

“We stand with Israel in the face of the ongoing threats, including from Iran,” he said. “But this does not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank.”

“We will not stand by as the horrific suffering continues to grow,” he added, warning that “the prospect of a two-state solution, the best hope for peace and stability, comes under attack”.

“The objective is clear: two independent, sovereign and democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security,” he added, noting that “there is simply no alternative”.

Angolan president condemns genocide and displacement against Palestinians in speech

Angolan President Joao Lourenco has condemned “the genocide against defenceless populations, the elderly, women, children, bedridden patients, health professionals, journalists, and workers of international humanitarian organisations”, who he said are often denied access to “the most basic human rights and essentials like water, food and medicine”, in Palestine.

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Lourenco stated that the “expulsion of Palestinians from their homes through the expansion of Jewish colonies in the West Bank must elicit the strongest international outrage and condemnation”.

Qatar’s PM condemns Israel’s rejection of Gaza roadmap at UNGA meeting

Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani has condemned Israel’s rejection of the roadmap aimed at completing the implementation of the comprehensive plan to end the conflict in Gaza.

He made the remarks during a closed-level meeting of heads of state and government convened by French President Macron, UK PM Burnham, and Canadian PM Carney on the sidelines of the UNGA in New York.

Sheikh Mohammed “emphasised the necessity for the international community to fulfil its responsibilities and to press Israel to meet its obligations under the Gaza ceasefire agreement, and to halt its ongoing violations of the rights of the Palestinian people, in order to ensure the completion of the implementation of the roadmap, leading to the achievement of peace and stability in the Gaza Strip,” according to Qatar’s Foreign Ministry.

He also reaffirmed Qatar’s “steadfast” support for the Palestinian cause and their right to an independent state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the two-state solution.

Netanyahu rejected the 15-point plan in August, insisting Israeli forces would not ⁠⁠withdraw from Gaza until Hamas ⁠⁠fully disarms.

Qatar says diplomacy is only way out of regional crisis amid widening conflicts

Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari said that Qatari leaders have met US President Donald Trump, stating that “the implications of the conflict [with Iran], the conflict in Gaza, the West Bank and what’s happening across our region are being felt internationally” while warning that “the effects of this will only continue to grow.”

Al-Ansari said: “We do believe in diplomacy, and we do [believe] there is no alternative to diplomacy, and we cannot afford to let diplomacy fail.” He continued: “Qatar has been engaged with all the parties of the conflict though Qatar was a target of attacks during this war. But that did not lead us to shy away from diplomacy or abandon our role as a mediator.”

He noted that Qatar has been “working with partners in the region, like Pakistan and Oman, other GCC countries to get to a peaceful, diplomatic resolution”. He added: “We have not stopped working although we have seen a lot of setbacks, … but we do believe this was a week where we could push the discussion further.”

Al-Ansari also stated that Qatar is “glad about hosting the meetings between the parties and seeing them engaging again” and emphasized: “For us here in Qatar, diplomacy is the only way out of this.”

He concluded that the focus remained “on keeping the lines of communication open, keeping the exchange going, listening to both sides and addressing the security concerns of not only both sides but all the states within the Gulf and beyond who are affected by this crisis”.

France calls for full humanitarian aid access, halt to West Bank colonisation

A French Foreign Ministry spokesman has said that recognition of Palestinian statehood helped secure the ceasefire, but humanitarian aid “has to enter fully” and “the acceleration of colonisation in the West Bank has to stop”.

Pascal Confavreux, who was attending the UN General Assembly, said that while France recently joined the UK, Canada and nine other countries in banning imports from illegal West Bank colonies, “it’s not enough, and there [are] still a lot of things to do”.

Regarding trade with Israel, he said trade is decided at the European Union, where “so far, the majority is not achieved”.
