12.08.2025Gaza Leadership Denied, Truce Explored
The day's Palestinian media coverage continued to highlight Gaza's severe humanitarian crisis, with reports of escalating destruction, deepening famine, and a rising death toll, particularly among children. A central political narrative emerged in the morning with reports of efforts to appoint a Palestinian businessman, Samir Halileh, as Gaza's governor, and his subsequent agreement under specific conditions. However, the Palestinian presidency promptly and strongly denied these Israeli assertions regarding any such appointment, reaffirming this position multiple times throughout the day and condemning Halileh's statements. Concurrently, diplomatic efforts intensified, with a Hamas delegation arriving in Cairo to discuss a potential 60-day truce and an Egyptian official outlining plans for a 15-figure Palestinian administration. This push for a ceasefire occurred amidst Netanyahu's rejection of partial deals, insisting on ending the war on Israeli terms. Reports also surfaced about Israel considering a delegation to Qatar and controversial discussions regarding the transfer of Gaza's population.
