Morning update: Day 136 of Israel's war on Gaza

Good morning Middle East Eye readers, 

Here are the latest developments from Israel's war on Gaza, which enters day 136 today: 

• Norway has agreed to act as an intermediary between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in the transfer of frozen tax funds, offering a temporary solution that will allow the body to pay salaries and provide essential services

• Netanyahu has said that “Qatar can press Hamas as no one else can” and has called for pressure to be placed on Doha to influence the group

• The Israeli military has raided the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, and arrested at least three Palestinians

• Hezbollah says it launched nine attacks against Israel on Sunday, including targeting a gathering of Israeli troops in the town of Even Menachem

• Ramy Abdu, the head of the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, said “very small quantities of food” arrived in Gaza on Sunday and that it was “impossible for them to reach the camps in northern Gaza”

• In Israel, Netanyahu’s government formalised its opposition to what it called the “unilateral recognition” of Palestinian statehood with a unanimous cabinet vote
