A key aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Ron Dermer, was scheduled for a visit to Washington this week to discuss a potential ceasefire, according to an Israeli official. Additionally, plans are underway for Netanyahu himself to visit in the coming weeks, indicating possible progress towards an agreement.

The official declined to discuss the visit’s focus and spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss plans that had not been finalised.

Israeli military orders new evacuations in northern Gaza

The Israeli military has mandated the extensive evacuation of Palestinians in major areas of northern Gaza. This region is home to hundreds of thousands who had previously returned during a ceasefire earlier in the year.

Military spokesperson Colonel Avichay Adraee announced this evacuation order on social media. The directive affects several neighborhoods in eastern and northern Gaza City, including the Jabaliya refugee camp.

The military will expand its escalating attacks westward to the city’s centre, calling for people to move toward the Muwasi area in southern Gaza, Adraee said.

An Israeli military offensive aims to move Palestinians to southern Gaza so forces can more freely operate to combat militants. Rights groups say their movement would amount to forcible displacement.
