26.08.2025The Day Israel Delayed Prisoner Deal Response
Palestinian media on August 26 focused on the "genocidal war" entering its 690th day, reporting new massacres and casualties across Gaza, including 20 martyrs in early morning raids. By late morning, a "large massacre" at Nasser Medical Complex, with 92 martyrs including six journalists, became a prominent story. Simultaneously, an Egyptian delegation visited Tel Aviv to advance prisoner exchange negotiations, while Israel's internal disagreements on Gaza's occupation and military leadership were noted. Throughout the day, Qatar repeatedly stated Israel’s lack of response to truce proposals, suggesting procrastination, and a Netanyahu aide reportedly issued a mid-September ultimatum to Hamas. Late afternoon reports detailed an Al-Qassam ambush in Beit Hanoun, resulting in five Israeli soldiers killed. The Israeli cabinet meeting concluded without results, with Gaza reportedly not on the agenda, further dimming immediate truce hopes.
