The Israeli cabinet has voted unanimously to close Al Jazeera’s operations in the country. The communications minister says the orders against the network “will go into effect immediately”. Al Jazeera Media Network calls the move a “criminal act that violates human rights”.
Hamas says this round of truce negotiations in Cairo has ended, as chief Ismail Haniyeh blames Netanyahu for “sabotaging” talks.
The Palestinian group says it wants guarantees from the United States that Israel will not launch a ground invasion in Rafah, as officials in Israel – which is yet to send a delegation to Cairo – insist the attack will happen regardless of whether a ceasefire deal is reached.
Meanwhile, Israeli antigovernment protesters are demanding that Netanyahu agree to a truce and bring back captives held in Gaza.
At least 34,683 Palestinians have been killed and 78,018 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attacks stands at 1,139, with dozens of people still held captive.
