'Israeli' forces approve new offensive plan for Gaza
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) announced on Wednesday that it has approved the framework for a new offensive in the Gaza Strip, following a call by the security cabinet to seize Gaza City. 'Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir approved the main framework for the IDF's operational plan in the Gaza Strip,' the army said in an official statement. The Israeli Occupation government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has not provided a specific timetable for when troops might enter Gaza City, the territory's largest urban center, where thousands of residents have sought refuge from previous offensives. Gaza's civil defense authority reported that air strikes on the city have intensified over recent days. The residential neighborhoods of Zeitoun and Sabra were targeted 'with very heavy air strikes targeting civilian homes, possibly including high-rise buildings,' the agency said. The announcement came hours after Hamas confirmed that a senior delegation had arrived in Cairo for 'preliminary talks' with Egyptian officials regarding a potential temporary truce. Plans to escalate military operations in Gaza, which has been under a genocide for more than 22 months, have drawn both international condemnation and domestic opposition. UN-backed experts have warned of a growing humanitarian crisis in the territory, with severe food shortages due to 'Israel's' significant restrictions on humanitarian aid. The IOF's operations since October 2023 have resulted in at least 61,599 Palestinian deaths.

Ammon News - Senate President Faisal Fayez on Wednesday met with US Chargé d'Affaires Peter Shea for a discussion of Jordanian-US relations and ways to bolster political and economic cooperation within the strategic partnership between the two countries. The meeting, attended by Deputy Senate President Suhair Al-Ali, chair of the Jordan-US Parliamentary Friendship Committee, also addressed regional developments and the need to step up international efforts, particularly by the US administration, to promote regional security and stability. It also tackled efforts to push for a ceasefire in Gaza and ensure the entry of adequate humanitarian and medical aid into the Strip. The Senate head spoke about the efforts of His Majesty King Abdullah II to resolve regional conflicts, stressing that the two-state solution, based on international legitimacy resolutions guaranteeing the Palestinian people's rights, is the only avenue to restore peace and stability and end the spiral of violence in the region. He reiterated Jordan's firm rejection of the forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, noting that His Majesty has repeatedly, clearly and firmly rejected any proposal to resolve the Palestinian issue at the expense of Jordan's constants and higher national interest.

Prominent Egyptian writer Sonallah Ibrahim dies at 88
Ammon News - Sonallah Ibrahim, the acclaimed Egyptian novelist, died in Cairo on Wednesday at the age of 88 after being hospitalized with pneumonia. Egyptian Minister of Culture Ahmed Fouad Hanno expressed deep sorrow over Ibrahim's passing, describing him as one of the pillars of contemporary Arabic narrative and a creator whose work combined artistic sensibility with critical awareness. He said the loss was a significant blow to the literary scene. Known for his steadfast commitment to national and human causes, Ibrahim's works—marked by a blend of documentary fragments and fiction—have become landmarks of modern Arabic literature. His novels include That Smell (1966), The Committee (1981), Zaat (1992), Warda (2000), Stealth (2007), and Ice (2011), probing themes of power, bureaucracy, and everyday life. Born in 1937, Ibrahim was widely regarded as one of Egypt's foremost modernist writers. In 2003, he famously rejected a prestigious state literary prize on political grounds, cementing his reputation as a principled dissident.
