Headlines just today from around the world

NYT

Reporting that Israel continues to destroy Gaza. 2500 buildings have been destroyed, just since the ceasefire.

Aljazeera

Israel is set to advance two major illegal settlement plans for occupied East Jerusalem, which Palestinian officials and experts warn will serve as the final blow to hopes for a contiguous Palestinian state.

The Jerusalem governorate announced on Sunday that Israeli authorities will discuss approving 9,000 settlement units on the ruins of the Qalandiya airport, also known as Atarot, and a separate project in Sheikh Jarrah to displace 40 families.

Israel’s plan for 9,000 units at Jerusalem airport is a move to sever the city from the West Bank.

GAZA, January 13, 2026 (WAFA) – A child died this morning in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, due to the extreme cold, amid the catastrophic humanitarian conditions faced by residents, particularly the displaced.

Meanwhile, rescue teams announced this morning the death of four Palestinians and the injury of others as a result of the collapse of parts of two buildings that had been damaged in previous shelling, due to heavy rains and strong winds. They indicated that the situation remains extremely dangerous and that the damaged buildings are no longer safe shelters for residents.

At the same time, Israeli occupation forces continue to violate the ceasefire agreement, carrying out three demolition operations targeting homes and facilities southeast of Gaza City. Their artillery also shelled the eastern areas of al-Bureij refugee camp, and military vehicles fired machine guns towards the eastern part of Khan Younis.

Warplanes also launched heavy airstrikes on the eastern areas of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, in a new escalation that is likely to deepen the suffering of citizens and displaced persons, amid the continued deterioration of the humanitarian situation.

And so it continues

I saw a report on the BBC news site that the remains of the last hostage held in Gaza have been found and retrieved. At last.

Maybe things will begin to move more positively again now?

But as said already, only when hamas demilitarise.

Plans for Gaza.
Anything to do with what the locals want the future to be?
