29.01.2025The Day North Return Met Aid Block
The morning revealed 80% of displaced Palestinians had returned north through the Netzarim corridor, continuing the mass movement that began two days prior. However, aid supplies failed to match the population flow, with large quantities stuck at border crossings. UNRWA faced a 48-hour deadline to cease Jerusalem operations.

By afternoon, Washington pledged to block reconstruction and mobile home delivery to northern Gaza. Trump's envoy visited the Netzarim axis and met Netanyahu, while the Senate blocked legislation targeting the International Criminal Court.

Evening brought the announcement of tomorrow's prisoner exchange details: three Israeli hostages, including five Thai nationals, for 110 Palestinian prisoners. The day ended with an Israeli airstrike on Tamoun killing ten Palestinians, while the Knesset approved legislation allowing Israeli ownership of West Bank land.
