White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Sunday that the U.S. intelligence community indicated it did not have access to a document detailing Hamas' plan to attack Israel.
Why it matters: Kirby's statement comes shortly after a New York Times report said Israeli officials had obtained Hamas' "battle plan" for the Oct. 7 attack on Israel over a year before it occurred.
Why it matters: Aid groups warn the resumed fighting — especially in southern Gaza where 2 million Palestinians are concentrated — will significantly deepen the humanitarian crisis in the enclave.
Three Israeli officials told Axios the negotiations over the extension of the Gaza ceasefire collapsed on Friday after Hamas refused to free 10 Israeli women, and instead, offered to begin discussing the release of elderly men. Hamas has blamed Israel for the breakdown of the ceasefire.
The latest: Israel's Mossad intelligence agency called back its team from Qatar on Saturday as a result of the collapse of the hostage negotiations. In a statement, the Mossad accused Hamas of not implementing its commitments in the agreement.
