  • The total death toll since 7 October has now climbed to 57,338, with 135,957 people wounded, according to official figures.

  • Between 18 March when Israel broke the ceasefire with Hamas and 5 July 2025, at least 6,780 Palestinians were killed and 23,916 wounded.

  • Lebanon said one person was killed and six wounded on Saturday in a series of Israeli strikes in the south despite a ceasefire between Israel and militant group Hezbollah.

  • US President Donald Trump said Saturday that it was a “good thing” that Hamas has responded in “positive spirit” on a US-brokered ceasefire proposal.

  • Israeli media report that Israel is preparing to dispatch a negotiating team to Qatar, possibly as early as tomorrow, to finalise a ceasefire agreement.

  • The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said late on Saturday that the amendments proposed by Hamas to the Qatari ceasefire framework were "not acceptable to Israel", reported the Israeli daily Haaretz.

  • English rock legend Roger Waters has publicly declared his support for the recently banned direct-action group Palestine Action, calling the UK government’s decision to proscribe it as a “terrorist organisation” a betrayal of justice and democracy.
