Israeli forces, settlers forcibly displace 20 families near Jericho
Around 20 Palestinian families were forcibly displaced on Wednesday night from the Arab al-Mleihat community, northwest of Jericho in the eastern occupied West Bank, after Israeli settlers established a new outpost nearby and intensified harassment, the Wafa news agency reported. The families, part of a larger Bedouin community of about 500 people, began dismantling their tents and leaving the area amid what local advocates described as mounting pressure from both settlers and Israeli forces. Hassan Mleihat, general supervisor of the Al-Baidar Organisation for the Defence of Bedouin Rights, said settlers had positioned themselves around the community's perimeter and were escalating efforts to force residents out. In a statement on Thursday, Al-Baidar warned that the displacement could erase the Arab al-Mleihat community's cultural and historical presence. According to Wafa, settlers on Wednesday brought livestock, erected tents and set up animal pens just 150 metres from Palestinian homes in the newly established outpost.

Trump says he expects Hamas decision in 24 hours on 'final' peace proposal
US President Donald Trump said on Friday it would probably be known in 24 hours whether Hamas has agreed to accept what he has called a "final proposal" for a ceasefire in Gaza. The president also said he had spoken to Saudi Arabia about expanding the Abraham Accords, the deal on normalisation of ties that his administration negotiated between Israel and some Gulf countries during his first term. Trump said on Tuesday Israel had accepted the conditions needed to finalise a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas, during which the parties will work to end the war. He was asked on Friday if Hamas had agreed to the latest ceasefire deal framework, and said: "We'll see what happens, we are going to know over the next 24 hours." A source close to Hamas said on Thursday the group sought guarantees that the new US-backed ceasefire proposal would lead to the end of Israel's war in Gaza. Two Israeli officials said those details were still being worked out. Dozens of Palestinians were killed on Thursday in Israeli strikes, according to Gaza authorities. The latest bloodshed in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict was triggered in October 2023 when Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 and taking about 250 hostages, Israeli tallies show. Gaza's health ministry says Israel's subsequent military assault has killed over 56,000 Palestinians. It has also caused a hunger crisis, internally displaced Gaza's entire population and prompted accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice and of war crimes at the International Criminal Court. Israel denies the accusations. A previous two month ceasefire ended when Israeli strikes killed more than 400 Palestinians on March 18. Trump earlier this year proposed a US takeover of Gaza, which was condemned globally by rights experts, the UN and Palestinians as a proposal of "ethnic cleansing".
