The IDF said it will continue operating to remove any  threat to the State of Israel.

PA draft constitution omits Jewish ties to Jerusalem, formalizes pay for slay -Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has published a draft constitution for a future Palestinian state. The document designates Islam as the official religion, names Sharia principles as the primary source of legislation. It also enshrines the PLO as the sole representative of the Palestinian people and commits the state to supporting families of “martyrs” and prisoners — effectively embedding the controversial terror stipend policy into constitutional law, raising serious concerns over the vision being advanced.

Day 462 Hostages Update: The bodies of Youssef Ziyadne and his son, Hamza Al-Ziyadnah, kidnapped into Gaza by Hamas on October 7 and previously believed to be among the living hostages, were recovered from tunnels in Gaza. U.S. and Israeli intelligence believe only about 20 of the 251 hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, 2023, are still alive.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that while "we very much want to bring this over the finish line in the next two weeks," Hamas remains the final obstacle: "We need Hamas to make the final necessary decisions to complete the agreement." The United States must urgently increase the pressure on Hamas and its sponsors in Iran, Qatar and Turkey to release the hostages.

On a recent interview with WHO, the director said he had no knowledge of Hamas using hospitals (they don't investigate those charges), but Israel is committing war crime by targeting hospitals. 

With regard to aid going to Gaza, the UN only counts Gaza aid trucks from UNRWA and the WFP. In December alone, they neglected to count the aid from 43 other organizations—totaling 2,252 trucks.

Despite Hamas' ongoing attacks and theft of humanitarian assistance, Israel continues to surge significant amounts of aid into Gaza. Tuesday alone, 230 humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza, while approximately 800 trucks worth of aid were awaiting collection and distribution by aid agencies inside of Gaza.
