Israel kills Palestinian man in Gaza as it deepens West Bank occupation

Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man in the Gaza Strip, continuing attacks that violate a previous ceasefire agreement. Concurrently, the Israeli government approved significant policy changes for the occupied West Bank, which will alter land registration and civil control. Israeli ministers stated the goal is to expand settlements and normalize life for settlers, while vowing to prevent the formation of a Palestinian state. Palestinian leaders, including President Mahmoud Abbas and various factions, have condemned the move as a dangerous escalation and a de facto annexation that breaches the Oslo Accords.
