France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom have announced their support for Egypt's proposed rebuild, which is in direct competition with Trump's plan.

The foreign ministers of France, Germany, Italy and Britain welcomed the plan, which calls for Gaza to be rebuilt over five years.

Israel’s leaders promised that their military campaign in Gaza would help save the lives of hostages. At least 41 have died in captivity, some killed by Hamas and others in Israeli airstrikes.

Officials from USAID say the the Trump administration’s cuts to the U.S. humanitarian agency have frozen hundreds of millions of dollars in contractual payments to aid groups.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Sunday that the government would establish an administration to encourage the voluntary migration of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli right wing’s long term ambitions for Gaza loom over the Trump administration’s more immediate interventions in the Middle East.

Israel on Sunday prepared to send a delegation to Doha for further talks on the Gaza truce, as Hamas called for an immediate start to negotiations on the ceasefire's second phase, which it hopes will lead to a permanent end to the war.

The highest level of damage was recorded in the northern governorates of North Gaza and Gaza City. That area was repeatedly targeted by Israeli air strikes throughout the war and was subject to a siege in the latter half of 2024. Civilians were ordered to evacuate amid heavy bombardment.
