Inside the Fatah-Hamas talks for Gaza's post-war governance
Fatah and Hamas have agreed to form a joint committee to oversee Gaza's civil administration post-war, marking a step towards unity after years of division. The proposed Community Support Committee will manage various sectors in Gaza, reporting to the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority. The agreement, reached after talks in Cairo, aims to end Hamas's governance in Gaza and function until elections are held. However, challenges remain, including Hamas's military role and the need for approval from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The deal's success depends on acceptance by Israel and the US, with ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the Israeli war on Gaza.

War in the Middle East: Looting of Aid Convoys Worsens Hunger in Gaza
The looting of aid convoys in Gaza exacerbates the humanitarian crisis, with essential goods ending up on the black market, benefiting those who can afford inflated prices. The situation strengthens Hamas's control, as they profit from the black market and use aid to maintain influence. Grisha Yakubovic, an Israeli expert, suggests the Palestinian Authority as an alternative to challenge Hamas's dominance. The US and German governments support this idea, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposes it. The article highlights the complex power dynamics and the need for a new governance strategy in Gaza.

The occupation of Palestinian territories by Israel is 'illegal', says the International Court of Justice

How Israel's war on Gaza is exposing the EU's divisions
The article discusses the divisions within the European Union (EU) exposed by Israel's military campaign in Gaza. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz avoided discussing the Gaza war at an EU meeting, instead presenting unrelated projects. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell proposed a peace process roadmap, but it faces obstacles due to lack of unanimous EU support. The EU's response to the Gaza conflict is limited by internal disagreements and the need for unanimity in foreign policy decisions. The article also covers the International Court of Justice's ruling on accusations of genocide against Israel, the EU's stance on the Houthi movement's attacks in the Red Sea, and the suspension of funds to UNRWA by some EU countries following allegations of employee involvement in attacks against Israel.
