🚨 Breaking Developments: A 15-member Palestinian technocratic committee has arrived in Cairo to prepare for administering Gaza, as the Egypt-brokered ceasefire remains on shaky ground. The team, led by veteran engineer Ali Abdel Hamid Shaath, aims to stabilize the enclave following "phase two" of the 2025 ceasefire agreement announced by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff.
Ceasefire Reality Check
While the truce (active since Oct 10, 2025) prevented full-scale warfare, Gaza health authorities report 451 deaths and 1,251 injuries in "post-ceasefire violence" – including a young girl killed in Thursday’s airstrikes. The conflict’s total toll since 2023 now stands at 71,441 lives lost.
The Yellow Line Flashpoint
Thursday saw renewed clashes after Israeli forces killed a Palestinian militant near the contested "Yellow Line" buffer zone. Rights groups argue the unmarked boundary endangers civilians accessing homes or farmland – a claim Israel disputes as necessary for troop security.
What’s Next?
With Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye backing the new administration committee, all eyes are on Washington’s pending "peace council" announcement to oversee reconstruction. But as displaced Gazans ask: "Will technocrats survive the crossfire?" 🤔
