Palestinian Authority

Israeli tanks have moved into the occupied West Bank for the first time in decades in what Palestinian authorities call a “dangerous escalation.”

According to the deal, fighting will pause in Gaza for six weeks, and dozens of Israeli hostages, as well as hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, will be freed.

A new initiative is underway by European, Arab and Islamic nations to strengthen support for a Palestinian state and its institutions and prepare for a future after the war in Gaza and escalating conflict in Lebanon.
