U.S. President Donald Trump held a post-war planning meeting at the White House regarding the conflict in Gaza between Israel and the Palestinian armed group Hamas.
According to Axios on the 27th (local time), it is reported that the meeting discussed ways to expand support for Gaza. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), composed of United Nations agencies and non-profit organizations, had previously announced that famine had occurred in Gaza.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, were among those who attended the meeting. Initially, they were also expected to discuss how to restructure the governance of Gaza after Hamas stepped down, but it has not been confirmed whether that discussion took place.
Recently, Hamas agreed to a ceasefire proposal from mediation countries, which included the release of 10 hostages as a priority; however, Israel continues its military operations in Gaza, stating that all detainees must be released at once. On the 26th, an attack on the Nasser Hospital building in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, resulted in the deaths of over 20 individuals, including journalists and rescue workers, drawing international criticism.
Israeli military Spokesperson Avichai Adraee stated on X (formerly Twitter) that "it is inevitable for residents of northern Gaza to evacuate, and all families migrating south will receive more humanitarian aid."
