Gaza: Europe and the Arabs

The ceasefire in Gaza remains in place despite ongoing Israeli military operations in the Strip and the limited flow of aid.

On Sunday evening, Israel received the body of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, who was killed in August 2014 in the Gaza Strip and whose remains had been held by Hamas since then.

Meanwhile, US envoy Jared Kushner arrived in Israel after midnight on Sunday to follow up on the implementation of President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan for the Gaza Strip. This marks his second visit in approximately three weeks, according to Israeli media.

Hours earlier, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation reported that "Washington is pushing for the release of approximately 150 militants from an underground tunnel in Rafah to areas outside the control of the Israeli army" in the Strip. According to a report published by the European news network Euronews in Brussels, under the headline "Haaretz: Kushner Arrives in Israel to Follow Up on Trump's Gaza Plan," US envoy Jared Kushner arrived in Israel after midnight on Sunday to follow up on the implementation of President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan for the Gaza Strip. This marks his second visit in approximately three weeks, according to Israeli media. The Haaretz newspaper reported on its website that Kushner arrived in Tel Aviv "to discuss the implementation of the second phase of President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan for Gaza." Meanwhile, the UAE is unlikely to participate in the international peacekeeping force in Gaza, according to Emirati presidential advisor Anwar Gargash, who stated on Monday that the UAE is not likely to participate in the international peacekeeping force in Gaza due to the lack of a clear framework. Speaking at the Abu Dhabi Strategic Forum, Gargash said, "The UAE does not yet see a clear framework for the peacekeeping force." Under these circumstances, it is unlikely to participate in such a force.” The Israeli army announces the start of military exercises in the West Bank and Jordan Valley.
