The United States paused a bomb shipment to Israel over fears of an impending full-scale assault on Gaza's Rafah. With concerns over civilian safety, the decision followed Israel's rejection of a Hamas truce offer. Despite ongoing military engagement, the Biden administration seeks to prevent escalation and review future military aid. The delicate balance highlights U.S. efforts to navigate regional stability and humanitarian concerns.

Israeli tanks seized the Rafah Crossing in Gaza, intensifying conflict as warplanes bombarded homes. At least 12 casualties were reported. Despite Hamas accepting a ceasefire, Israel vowed to continue its military operation. Troops are conducting a "limited op," trapping civilians. Egypt closed Rafah Crossing to prevent mass exodus. Over a million refugees sheltering in Rafah face grave risk, prompting UN warnings and international appeals ignored by Israel.

Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal from Egypt and Qatar. At the same time, Israel continues its bombing campaign in eastern Rafah despite not accepting the ceasefire terms. Reports indicate that around 100,000 Palestinians in Rafah have been asked to evacuate. Ismail Haniyeh, representing Hamas, informed Qatari and Egyptian officials of the group's approval of the ceasefire. However, Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu's office stated that the proposed deal falls short of Israel's demands but will still send a delegation for negotiations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on May 5 that his government had unanimously voted to close down the local offices of Al Jazeera, a broadcaster owned by Qatar. Netanyahu announced the decision on X, formerly known as Twitter, but specifics regarding the implications, timing, and permanence of the closure remained unclear. This move marks an escalation in Israel's longstanding dispute with Al Jazeera and raises tensions with Qatar, particularly significant as Qatar is actively involved in mediating efforts to end the conflict in Gaza. Israel's contentious relationship with Al Jazeera stems from accusations of bias against the network.
