UK warns against removal of officials from Gaza ceasefire center

The United Kingdom warned against any attempt by Israel to remove British officials from the Gaza ceasefire coordination center on Friday, after reports that Israel was considering expelling U.K. officials, as reported by the Associated Press.

The U.K. government said on Thursday that it remains committed to implementing the 20-point Gaza peace plan, and that any move to remove its officials would "undermine shared efforts," according to the Associated Press. The statement came in response to reports that Israel is considering expelling officials from Britain and other European nations from the monitoring center.

The Financial Times reported on Thursday that the Israeli government has discussed removing the UK from the International Gaza Support Center, a multinational headquarters established to monitor the US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, citing people familiar with the matter, as reported by the Jerusalem Post. Reuters could not immediately verify the FT report, the Jerusalem Post noted.

The Netherlands on Thursday said Israel was removing two Dutch diplomats from the ceasefire center, according to the Associated Press. Israel's Foreign Ministry said the decision was in response to a Dutch ban on the trade of Israeli products from the occupied West Bank and other "anti-Israel measures," the Associated Press reported.

Israeli strike in Gaza kills three

Two brothers and another relative were killed on Friday in an Israeli strike on the family's home outside Khan Younis, according to officials at Nasser Hospital, as reported by the Associated Press. Israel's military said it was not aware of a strike in Khan Younis, the Associated Press reported.

The three deaths were the latest in Gaza since an October ceasefire deal attempted to halt a more than two-year war between Israel and Hamas, the Associated Press reported. While the heaviest fighting has subsided, Israeli forces have carried out repeated airstrikes, killing at least 1,301 Palestinians, according to health officials in Gaza, the Associated Press reported. The agency's casualty records are generally considered reliable but don't provide a breakdown of civilians and militants.

Seafarers stranded by Iran war

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) said 19 seafarers have been killed and at least 6,000 remain stranded on hundreds of ships since the start of the Iran war on Feb. 28, as reported by the Associated Press.

Iran's Foreign Ministry on Friday condemned a new round of U.S. economic measures, calling them "economic terrorism," according to the Associated Press. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent vowed to fully sever Iran from the global economy and threatened secondary sanctions, the Associated Press reported.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
