Trump Gaza Peace Deadline Sunday Threatens Hell
Khan Younis Raid Foiled; Twenty Hamas Killed
Global Sumud Flotilla Deportations Begin
The time is now 11:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
Good morning. This is your hourly news update. President Donald Trump has given Hamas until Sunday to accept his Gaza peace proposal, warning that failure to do so will unleash consequences described as all hell breaking out against the group. The president posted that the deadline is 2200 hours Greenwich Mean Time on Sunday, which Washington time places at six o’clock in the evening, and he urged the evacuation of civilians from an area he described as a death zone for Hamas. He framed the choice as either a historic peace deal backed by Israel, the United States, and Arab states, or an unprecedented military assault, with a call for safe corridors for innocent Palestinians while the fate of hostages remains a central element of the negotiation.
In a related development, Israeli forces say they surrounded and targeted Hamas fighters who were attempting a raid into a humanitarian corridor in the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza. According to the Israeli military, the operation involved aircraft guided by forces on the ground, and about twenty Hamas militants were killed. The army stressed that children were used as human shields in the attempted assault, and that civilians not involved in the attack were protected. Separately, authorities say more than 870,000 residents have evacuated Gaza City and moved southward in what has become a massive population movement amid the evolving security situation.
The Israeli navy has intercepted all forty two vessels in the Global Sumud Flotilla, each carrying humanitarian aid and volunteers, and a deportation process has begun for those aboard as part of efforts to break what Israel describes as a blockade of Gaza. The flotilla’s aim to bring relief materials to Gaza has become a flashpoint in the broader conflict, with authorities detailing the steps being taken to manage maritime activity off the Gaza coast.
On the international front, a notable cross‑border development underscores growing cooperation against extremist networks. Germany announced the arrest of Hamas-linked operatives in Berlin in a move described by security officials as a breakthrough following a string of such operations across Europe. The disclosure highlighted ongoing efforts to counter threats linked to the Hamas network, with assessments stressing that the danger remains not only on the ground but across multiple continents.
In Europe, other debates continue over policy and economic ties. Ireland remains a vocal critic of the Gaza war, yet its government hosts the European headquarters for several major United States companies, illustrating the complexity of balancing diplomatic positions with commercial interests. Meanwhile, migration policy and security considerations continue to attract attention as Italy and Libya face scrutiny over the handling of migrant rescues in the central Mediterranean, with reports of Libyan coast guard actions during rescue operations drawing sharp comments from humanitarian groups about safety at sea.
In the United Kingdom, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas issued a public condemnation of a terror attack in Manchester during Yom Kippur, stating that the Palestinian leadership strongly denounces acts of violence against civilians and reaffirming a commitment to nonviolence and safety for all communities. The attack had targeted worshippers near a synagogue and left several people injured, as law enforcement pursued those responsible.
In religious and cultural leadership news, the Church of England has named its first female Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally. Her appointment comes with a pledge to address historic safeguarding failures within the church and to strengthen protections for worshippers and staff. Mullally emphasized the church’s responsibility to stand with Jewish communities against antisemitism while navigating ongoing debates over issues such as same‑sex relationships and social policy. Conservative Anglican voices abroad have criticized the appointment, arguing it signals a shift in church governance, though Mullally says the path forward will require thoughtful leadership and dialogue.
Editorial and opinion coverage continues to reflect the region’s high-stakes realities. Perspectives on the Gaza crisis, the prospects for a lasting peace, and the responsibilities of regional and global actors remain deeply divided, even as news from the ground emphasizes urgent humanitarian needs, hostage considerations, and the very real consequences of decisions made this week. As always, the human dimension—families displaced, communities seeking safety, and the ongoing struggle for shelter and relief—remains at the center of every update.
This concludes the hour’s briefing. Please stay tuned for further developments as events unfold, and we will continue to bring you the context and background you rely on.
