Egypt condemns Israel's power cut to Gaza Strip
Egypt has strongly condemned Israel's decision to cut off electricity to the Gaza Strip, denouncing the action as part of Israel's broader policy of collective punishment, which Cairo fully rejects. The Egyptian government called on the international community to take decisive action and ensure that such violations of international humanitarian law are stopped. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its condemnation of Israel's move to suspend electricity supplies to Gaza, highlighting that the action constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law. The statement emphasized Egypt's unwavering opposition to Israel's policies, including the suspension of humanitarian aid deliveries, which have exacerbated the dire situation in Gaza. On Sunday, Israel's official Broadcasting Authority reported that Israeli Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, Eli Cohen, had ordered an immediate halt to electricity supplies to the Gaza Strip. In related developments, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi reiterated Egypt's steadfast support for the Palestinian cause, stating that Egypt would not accept the displacement of the Palestinian people. 'We salute the resilience of the Palestinian people and reaffirm our support for them in their ongoing struggle for survival and dignity,' he said. He also stressed that the only solution to the conflict is the establishment of a Palestinian state and the prevention of any form of displacement under any pretext. Additionally, on Tuesday, Reuters reported that about 3,500 individuals had crossed from Gaza into Egypt via the Rafah crossing, according to a European Union foreign policy official. Meanwhile, Hazem Qassem, spokesperson for the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), warned of famine-like conditions in Gaza, as the ongoing blockade has prevented the entry of food supplies for the tenth consecutive day. The blockade, combined with existing shortages since the beginning of hostilities, has worsened the humanitarian crisis in the region. Qassem urged the Arab League to activate measures from the recent Arab summit to break the siege on Gaza and prevent further suffering. In a related humanitarian update, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) issued a warning about the critical water shortage in Gaza, with only one in ten people having access to safe drinking water. UNICEF official Rosalia Poulin reported that while 600,000 people regained access to drinking water in November 2024, this access was cut off again. The Gaza Ministry of Health reported that 36 people were killed (32 recovered and 4 new deaths), and 14 injured were admitted to hospitals in the past 24 hours. This brings the death toll from the ongoing aggression to 48,503, with 111,927 people injured since 7 October 2023.

Israeli Army Given Orders to Prepare for Immediate Return to War in Gaza - Jordan News
The political leadership has instructed the Israeli army to be on "immediate readiness" for war in Gaza, following a deadlock in negotiations concerning the second phase of the deal with Hamas. اضافة اعلان According to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, Israeli officials stated that Hamas "is not interested in advancing the plan set by Steve Weitzkopf, and it appears that Israel also has no intention to negotiate an end to the war as outlined in the agreement." Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed that the option of returning to war is still on the table. In closed discussions, security officials remarked that a return to fighting is possible, but based on past experiences, it could increase the chances of harm to "hostage" lives, as they estimate. The Broadcasting Authority further reported that "Israel realizes that the decision to cut off humanitarian aid to Gaza has started to affect the region and believes that it is possible to secure the release of individual hostages if pressure continues." U.S. President's envoy for the Gaza captives issue, Steve Weitzkopf, stated last night that there is a potential date for the return to war if no agreement is reached, but he refused to specify the date. One day after officially assuming his role as Chief of Staff of the Israeli army, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamer recently issued his first command to the Israeli soldiers, urging them to prepare for war in order to rescue all "hostages" and eliminate "Hamas."

Rafah crossing to open today: Hebrew media
The "Israeli" Broadcasting Authority, citing Palestinian sources, reported that the Rafah border crossing will open today, Friday, instead of Sunday as initially planned under the Gaza ceasefire agreement. Hebrew news outlet Yedioth Ahronoth, quoting an EU official, said that 'Israel' has inquired about deploying a European mission to help manage the Rafah border crossing as part of efforts to reopen it during the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire. According to the official, the European force will play a key role in stabilizing the truce, with the plan focused on reopening the crossing to allow civilians to leave, prioritizing the wounded, children, and patients needing medical treatment abroad. The official added that Palestinian Authority border officers will manage the crossing, while the "Israeli" military will remain stationed around it to ensure security. The report also noted that the EU plans to deploy up to 100 border officers as part of new security arrangements, underscoring European support for the ceasefire and cooperation between Tel Aviv and the Palestinian Authority.
