With the IDF deepening its ground operations in Rafah, a senior Egyptian official told The Associated Press on Sunday that Cairo had lodged protests with Israel, the United States and European governments, warning that its peace treaty with Israel — a cornerstone of regional stability — was at high risk. The news agency did not report any further comments from the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. At the same time, at a Cairo press conference with his Slovenian counterpart, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry sought to calm worries over the future of the peace deal.

The US secretary of state Antony Blinken remarked on Sunday that a full-scale Israeli offensive in the Gaza city of Rafah would result in "anarchy" unless Hamas is eliminated. Additionally, he acknowledged that Israeli forces had caused more civilian casualties than Hamas militants. On "Face the Nation," CBS's Margaret Brennan questioned Blinken about whether the United States agrees with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent statement. Netanyahu claimed that Israel had killed 14,000 terrorists and 16,000 civilians in its conflict with Hamas.

Hezbollah's deployment of a new heavy rocket, named after Jihad Mughniyeh, marked a significant escalation in tensions. Targeting an Israeli military position in disputed territories, the retaliatory strike followed Israel's offensive in Gaza. Despite claims of precision, the attack caused significant damage. In response, four Israeli soldiers were wounded by anti-tank guided missile fire from Lebanon, indicating a dangerous escalation in the conflict.

Hamas criticised US President Joe Biden on Sunday for linking a Gaza cease-fire to the release of Israelis held captive by the Palestinian group. Biden stated on Saturday that a cease-fire in Gaza could occur as soon as “tomorrow” if Hamas released Israelis in its custody. Hamas deemed this stance as a step backward from the outcomes of previous negotiations. They noted that their approval of a proposal, facilitated by mediators from Egypt and Qatar, had been done with the knowledge of the United States.

US President Joe Biden has directly offered a ceasefire to Hamas, stressing that the decision now lies with the group. Biden indicates that the ceasefire could be implemented as early as tomorrow if Hamas releases its hostages. Additionally, Biden extends an offer to Israel, providing valuable intelligence on Hamas leaders' whereabouts if Israel refrains from a major operation in Rafah. The US also pledges assistance to Israel in erecting large shelters for Palestinians evacuated from Rafah. However, Biden issues a warning to Israel, stating that the supply of artillery shells and weapons could be halted if it proceeds with an attack on Rafah. Despite multiple rounds of indirect negotiations, Hamas and Israel have yet to reach a ceasefire agreement.
