️JUST IN:

The UAE is funding a pilot residential complex in Rafah under Jared Kushner’s reconstruction plan linked to Trump’s Council for Peace.

The project will require biometric data from residents, security checks for entry and exit, relocation from Hamas-controlled “red zones” to Israeli-controlled areas, and use of shekel-based digital wallets.

Schools in the complex will use UAE-provided curricula and exclude any content deemed supportive of Hamas.

Sky News Arabic report: There is an ongoing discussion between the US administration and the Palestinian Authority regarding the Palestinian Authority’s participation in President Trump’s “Peace Council,” but it is facing obstacles from Israel and the United States.

According to the report, pressure is being exerted by Arab countries and others on the US administration to ensure that the Palestinian Authority is not excluded from the management of the Gaza Strip within the framework of the international body.

A Palestinian source to Sky News Arabic: Israel has set conditions for opening the Rafah crossing that include an Israeli inspection post after the Palestinian one, with the latter having the final say regarding who will be allowed to leave or return to the Gaza Strip.

According to him, Israel requested a two-month extension to establish the new crossing at Rafah, but the US administration is pressuring it to set it up within a few days. In addition, Israel is demanding that Palestinian children born outside the Strip during the war or before it not be allowed to enter it.

️JUST IN: Israel is signaling that the political track may fail, putting “large-scale military escalation” against Gaza back on the table:

Israeli security officials assess that Trump’s plan for disarmament is unlikely to succeed, with Palestinian resistance expected not to surrender its weapons voluntarily.

The IDF has completed plans for a renewed military phase, says Israel’s defense establishment, as Southern Command forces begin advanced combat readiness.

Israel currently controls roughly 53% [In reality 65%+] of the Gaza Strip and is preparing for forced disarmament if diplomacy collapses.

Israel is also considering new restrictions at the Rafah crossing, potentially allowing more exits than entries.

A security cabinet meeting is expected as Netanyahu coordinates with U.S. officials.

️JUST IN: Hamas Spokesperson Hazem Qassem:

We see that the inauguration of the Peace Council indicates international interest in consolidating the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

Arab and Islamic participation in the Peace Council is important, as it expresses the Palestinian vision.

We call on the Peace Council to pressure the occupation to stop its violations of the ceasefire agreement and to open the crossings.

We demand the Peace Council mobilize urgent financial and relief support for the residents of Gaza in light of the difficult conditions the Strip is experiencing.

There is a deliberate "israeli" intent to sabotage all peace plans proposed by President Trump.

The resistance's weapons are primarily for confronting the occupation and defending our land and sanctities.

It is unacceptable for Netanyahu to be a member of the Peace Council.



️JUST IN: Hamas Statement:

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) confirms its adherence and commitment to the ceasefire agreement, at a time when the occupation continues to violate its terms around the clock in an attempt to disrupt it and obstruct the work of the National Committee, contrary to the announced American arrangements and guarantees.

As we enter the fifth month since the start of the ceasefire, approximately 484 Palestinian martyrs have ascended due to the occupation's fire, and 1,297 others have been injured, amid the absence of any real pressure to stop the continuous crimes.

It would have been more appropriate for some participants in the Davos Forum to focus on the ongoing crimes of the criminal occupation in the Gaza Strip, and the undermining of international efforts aimed at stabilizing the ceasefire, opening the crossings, the withdrawal of the occupation army, and launching the reconstruction process, instead of directing threats to the Palestinian side that is committed to what was agreed upon.

We call on the (Peace Council) to fulfill its responsibility to stop the occupation's violations and compel it to meet the obligations of the agreement, foremost among them the entry of aid and shelter supplies, and the commencement of relief and reconstruction, to protect our people from the consequences of the humanitarian catastrophe created by the occupation, especially as the Gaza Strip is exposed to waves of rain and extreme cold.

"There's even an airport, something that Gaza hasn't had"

This is false, Gaza had an airport, Gaza International Airport, was destroyed by Israel (IDF) in stages in late 2001–early 2002.

➤ Dec 2001: Israeli airstrikes destroyed the control tower, radar station, and parts of the runway

➤ Jan 2002: Israeli tanks and bulldozers tore up the runway, permanently shutting it down

️SHOCKING:

An Israeli woman discovered that Israeli Channel 12 had broadcast her photo in a report claiming she was “one of four Jews executed by the Iranian regime during protests in Iran.”

She immediately responded by posting a video saying:

“I’m here, I’m alive, sitting at home and in half an hour I’m going to training.”

“I have never been to Iran in my life.”

“My photo was broadcast as if I had been executed.”

She has never been to Iran and lives in a settlement in occupied Palestine.

The report was false.

️BREAKING:

Following searches at a cemetery in eastern Gaza City, the ‘IDF’ says the body of Ran Gvili has been located and formally identified. Military representatives have notified his family that his remains are being returned to Israel for burial.

During the ‘operation’, Israeli forces exhumed around 200 graves containing Palestinian remains at the cemetery while searching for the sole remaining Israeli soldier in the Gaza Strip.

The number of graves exhumed may reach 500 by now.

️JUST IN: Statement by Israel’s PMO Netanyahu regarding Rafah Crossing:

As part of President Trump’s 20-point plan, Israel has agreed to a limited reopening of the Rafah Crossing for pedestrian passage only, subject to a full Israeli inspection mechanism.

The reopening of the crossing was conditioned upon the return of all living hostages and a 100% effort by Hamas to locate and return all deceased hostages.

The IDF is currently conducting a focused operation to exhaust all of the intelligence that has been gathered in the effort to locate and return the fallen hostage, Master-Sgt. Ran Gvili, of blessed memory.

Upon completion of this operation, and in accordance with what has been agreed upon with the US, Israel will open the Rafah Crossing.

The State of Israel is committed to the return of Israeli hero Master-Sgt. Ran Gvili and will spare no effort to bring him home for a proper Jewish burial.



️JUST IN: Israeli Army Radio details emerging plan to reopen Rafah Crossing:

Exit from Gaza to Egypt will not be subject to Israeli security checks. Identity verification will be handled by an EU mission with approved local Gaza personnel operating under the Palestinian Authority, using PA exit stamps. Israeli monitoring will be remote only.

Entry from Egypt into Gaza will occur in two stages. Initial screening by the EU at Rafah, followed by transfer through a special corridor in an Israeli-controlled area where Israeli security will conduct checks to prevent smuggling and unauthorized entry.

Final quotas have not been set, with estimates of a few hundred people per day.

Shin Bet approval will be required in advance for the identities of all those entering and exiting, based on security assessments.

️JUST IN: Military Spokesperson for Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obaida:

We have handled the issue of prisoners and bodies with complete transparency and have fulfilled everything required of us under the ceasefire agreement. We handed over all living captives and bodies in our possession as quickly as possible, without any delay, despite the occupation’s failure to comply and the dozens of violations and massacres it committed.

We are fully committed to closing this file entirely and have no interest in stalling, in consideration of the interests of our people. We operated under complex and near-impossible conditions to recover and hand over all the bodies of enemy prisoners, with the knowledge of the mediators, whom we call upon to uphold their responsibilities and compel the occupation to implement what was agreed upon.

Regarding the body of the soldier “Ran Gvili,” we affirm that we informed the mediators of all the details and information we have concerning the location of the captive’s body. Proof of the truth of our statements is that the enemy is now searching one of the locations based on the information provided by the Ezz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades to the mediators.
