PM Netanyahu, who called off a halt in fighting in March, hinted that the nation might restart its military campaign if Hamas refuses to give up its military assets.
- The United Nations was given the green light by Israel to commence providing expanded aid into Gaza from Sunday. This assistance will include significant amounts that have already been positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as humanitarian officials expected permission from Israeli forces to recommence their efforts.
- An official the spokesman reported to the press on last Friday that energy supplies, medical supplies, and vital resources have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff are calling for authorities to open more entry points and ensure protected transit for aid workers and civilians who are returning to areas in Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks up until lately.

From the 250 individuals, 15 will be let go in eastern Jerusalem, one hundred to the region, and one hundred thirty-five will be expelled.
