According to medical sources cited by ANI, Israeli forces killed at least 68 Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday, including 47 in Gaza City and the northern areas of the territory. The ongoing war has now killed at least 56,500 people and wounded 133,419, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. In contrast, around 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7 attacks, during which over 200 individuals were taken captive

ANI further reported that Egypt's Foreign Minister has revealed efforts to broker a new Gaza deal involving a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of some Israeli captives

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chaired a high-level security meeting at the Southern Command base in Beersheba on Sunday, with top military and security officials. The agenda focused on the war in Gaza and prospects for a ceasefire. However, ANI reported that the meeting concluded without any tangible breakthrough

Military sources suggest Israel is nearing the end of its ground operations in Gaza, asserting that no further strategic gains are possible without endangering the remaining captives held in the territory. Despite this, Netanyahu has reiterated his belief that it is possible to defeat Hamas while simultaneously securing the release of hostages through military means

Mediators continue to urge Israel to send delegations to Cairo or Doha to negotiate a ceasefire agreement. However, Israel reportedly seeks only a temporary pause in fighting that would allow for resumption of military operations after 60 days. In contrast, Hamas has demanded a permanent end to the conflict--a disagreement that has persisted for months and remains the primary obstacle to any resolution, according to ANI
