Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations: "There is a risk that Israel will seek to annex the West Bank, which is a complete violation of international law."

According to a report published Wednesday morning in the Saudi newspaper "Asharq Al-Awsat", Israel and Egypt have agreed that the Palestinian Authority (PA) will take control of and manage the Rafah border crossing in southern Gaza.

This will be under the supervision of the United Nations (UN). According to the report, the agreement was reached during a meeting between Mossad Director David Barnea, Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar, and Egyptian intelligence head Hassan Rashad.

Fatah (the political party in control of the Palestinian Authority) fought a war with Hamas in 2007 for control over the Gaza Strip.

⚡️AP: Israel said it will maintain control of the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip during the first phase of the ceasefire with Hamas.

A statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Wednesday denied reports that the Palestinian Authority would control the crossing.

The situation in Velyka Novosilka remains catastrophic for the garrison stationed there. They are effectively cut off, with some reports stating that soldiers are attempting to flee through Russian positions in Vremivka to escape. Outside units are attempting to break into the town but are being hit by Russian FPV drones. I don't see how Ukraine is going to be able to escape from here. This is a bit like Vuhledar, but with even more soldiers in the encirclement.

The incompetence of the Ukrainian command to make difficult decisions is obvious here, and it is going to cost many their lives. Ukraine is more set out to have PR wins and fight to the last man to show the world how valiant they are, when in reality it's these poor soldiers on the ground being abandoned and then killed or captured.

"There is no threat of encirclement of Velyka Novoselka, if this happens, the Ukrainian military has the opportunity to exit", - the spokesman for the Khortytsia military district.

The sad thing is, those who don't have the time or interest to look at a map might actually believe this.

Commander of the Jenin Battalion: "During the past few days, we were able to bring some ground-based (anti-tank mines) and guided explosive devices into service."

Recent map updates by the Ukrainian source "Deepstate" indicate that Russian forces made new advances in western Donetsk Oblast.

In the east, Russian forces advanced down two treelines from the north and east, capturing new positions there.

In the west, after spearheading an advance through the forest plantations in the low-lying ground, Russian forces branched off and entered the southern houses of Novoandriivka, taking up new positions there.

+ ~1.57km² in favour of Russia.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces made a small advance on the western flank of Pokrovsk.

Russian forces advanced from their newly dug trenches in the windbreaks on either side of the railway tracks near Udachne and Kotlyne, and advanced north, up a treeline, approaching the ventilation shaft of the Kotlyne mine.

One source says that Russian forces captured this shaft, although this is yet to be confirmed.

Recent reports from multiple reliable sources indicate that Russian forces advanced on the eastern flank of Pokrovsk, capturing Baranivka.

After securing the tactical heights east of Baranivka, Russian forces went on to storm it from the south, capturing the forests and the single house that is the "village".

Meanwhile, to the west, Russian forces began making progress north of Vozdyvzhenka, advancing along the western bank of the Bychok river, capturing positions in the forest plantations. They also gained a foothold in the next forest plantation to the west, which will most likely be expanded in the near future, before attacks on the nearby treelines take place.
