Benjamin Netanyahu

The two leaders will meet for the fifth time this year. Unlike previous appointments, there seems to be a certain distance between them this time because, according to various sources, they do not have the same position on the departure of Iran or Israeli troops from Gaza. 

On the other hand, the Gaza Government has accused Israel of allowing only 41% of humanitarian aid to enter even though the ceasefire is in effect. Netanyahu is already on his way to the US to meet Donald Trump on Monday.

The prime minister has argued the "national interest" in the midst of the Israeli political crisis and has received the support of his ministers while the country remains polarized by the judicial process.

The Rafah crossing will remain closed 'without deadlines', which means, among other things, that the European Union's humanitarian mission EUBAM Rafah is still unable to enter, although it was due to enter last week, as EU High Representative Kaja Kallas explained at a press conference.

Nine days after the ceasefire came into force, the Israeli Prime Minister has announced that he will act "vigorously against terrorist targets" and has not clarified whether this will mean the end of the peace agreement. Moreover, the Israeli army has confirmed that Rafah has again been bombed in southern Gaza.

The Israeli Defense has carried out more than 500 air strikes since the entry into force of the ceasefire on the grounds that they have been directed against Hezbollah. The United Nations has confirmed the deaths of 108 civilians, 37 of them women and children.
