- Israeli forces killed 8 people in Gaza, bringing the cumulative death toll to 18 since the latest Trump peace plan was unveiled, according to Al Jazeera
- An Israeli minister publicly stated there is "no deal to halt attacks," directly contradicting the ceasefire framework Trump announced to advance negotiations
Why it matters: The contradiction between Trump's announced ceasefire deal and an Israeli minister's denial of any agreement to halt attacks means Gaza civilians face continued bombardment with no diplomatic off-ramp in sight. At least 18 people have been killed since the peace plan was announced, exposing the widening gap between announced diplomacy and on-the-ground military operations.
