Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed to exert pressure on Israel to halt the ongoing conflict in Gaza, as he addressed the Shangri-La Dialogue security conference in Singapore on Sunday. The visit comes nearly eight months into the protracted Israel-Hamas war. In his speech, Zelensky affirmed Israel's right to self-defence against "Hamas terrorists" while expressing deep concerns about the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has been under heavy assault by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Thursday that troops from the 98th Division had successfully dismantled and destroyed a network of terror tunnels in Jabalia, Gaza. These tunnels contained the bodies of hostages killed during the October 7 attacks by Hamas.
In recent weeks, the IDF has recovered multiple bodies from Hamas's extensive network of terror tunnels throughout the Gaza Strip. The latest operation resulted in the rescue and recovery of seven hostages, identified as Shani Louk, Amit Buskila, Ron Benjamin, Yitzchak Gelernter, Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum, and Orion Hernandez. Tragically, it was confirmed that all seven individuals had been killed on October 7, and their bodies had subsequently been abducted by Hamas.

Israel targeted a Gaza school, claiming it contained Hamas fighters, killing 27 civilians seeking shelter, which Hamas denied. Hamas leader Haniyeh rejected the U.S. ceasefire proposal, demanding a permanent Israeli withdrawal. Despite U.S. efforts, truce attempts failed as Hamas insists on a lasting deal while Israel wants only temporary pauses until defeating Hamas. The eight-month war erupted after a Hamas attack killed 1,200 Israelis.
