Belgian official Maxime Prévot announced on September 27th, 2025, that Belgium formally recognizes a Palestinian state, stating the decision respects international law and aims to preserve the two-state solution. The announcement also included a call for European Union sanctions against Israel. Separately, conflicting reports emerged on September 27th, 2025, concerning members of Yasser Abu's 'Abu Bab' militia in Gaza. One report indicated militia members were distancing themselves from Hamas security mechanisms following an alleged execution event, while another claimed Hamas's 'Sasha unit' members had isolated themselves from the militia. Prévot's statement, disseminated via social media on September 27th, 2025, emphasized Belgium's recognition as vital for Palestinian survival and underscored the necessity of EU sanctions against Israel. The unverified reports regarding the 'Abu Bab' militia and Hamas's 'Sasha unit' in Gaza City remain a subject of ongoing developments, with Yasser Abu's response to the initial claims pending as of September 27th, 2025. Earlier on September 27th, 2025, Hamas had reportedly indicated readiness for a ceasefire and agreed to an Egyptian-backed framework for Gaza management, according to AlHadath. This framework includes the establishment of a technocratic committee for Gaza affairs. The United States had also proposed a comprehensive plan for ending the Gaza war on September 27th, 2025, which included an immediate ceasefire, prisoner exchanges, and humanitarian aid. In parallel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet announced earlier on September 27th, 2025, the killing of Hamas operative Muhammad Ahmad Yousef al-Jamal, who was responsible for the death of officer Ch. Insp. Arnon Zmora during a hostage rescue mission. Sari Idris Muhammad al-Aqrab, a Hamas terrorist involved in the October 7th invasion, was also killed in the same airstrike. Amidst the conflict, reports from September 27th, 2025, indicated that over 750,000 Palestinians had evacuated Gaza City to the Strip's south, and hospital sources reported 51 Palestinian deaths in Israeli attacks since dawn. Additionally, a separate report highlighted the sale of UN aid flour in Gaza for 50 shekels ($15) per sack. A driver reportedly hit a "Walt apostle" after their vehicle was blocked by protesters, according to a report from N12 News on September 27th, 2025.
