Morning update Good morning Middle East Eye readers, Here are the latest updates from Gaza, where Israel continues to violate the ceasefire more than two months after it came into effect: US president Donald Trump and his top advisers asked prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to change Israel's policies in the occupied West Bank during their meeting, Axios said on Monday. US President Donald Trump will receive Israel's highest civilian honour in 2026, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Monday that his country will break with decades of tradition to recognise a non-citizen. Israeli forces arrested journalist Ashwaq Awad at dawn today after raiding her family's home in the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, Al-Qastal News reported. The journalist was released from detention as part of the recent prisoner exchange deal. Washington on Monday pledged an initial $2 billion for United Nations humanitarian aid in 2026 -- far less than it has provided in recent years -- warning UN agencies to "adapt, shrink or die". Israeli airstrikes target areas so-called yellow zone, including east of Khan Younis, Rafah, Al-Maghazi camp, and Beit Lahia in the Gaza Strip Axios reported that Netanyahu has agreed to the US president's request to resume talks with the Syrian government on a possible security agreement. Netanyahu has agreed to move forward with the second phase of the Gaza agreement despite disagreements with the Trump team over its implementation mechanisms, Axios reported.
