Your daily horoscope: February 5, 2026

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY With both Jupiter and Uranus active on your birthday you won’t be taking the easy path through the year ahead, and that’s a good thing. Whatever the accepted wisdom might be you would be wise to do the opposite. Fortune favours the brave. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): Although Mars, your ruling planet, is well placed in your chart you must keep a sensible balance between your ambitions on the one hand, and what you can realistically hope to accomplish on the other. There are always limits – yes, even for Aries. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): If someone gives you a hard time today you must stand your ground. The symbol for your sign is the bull and you are one of those people who, when pushed in a direction you don’t want to go, dig in your hooves and refuse to budge!

Gaza Truce and Hostage Deal Faces Last-Minute Crisis

 

In a dramatic turn of events, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that a last-minute crisis with Hamas is delaying the approval of a highly anticipated ceasefire and hostage release agreement. The deal, which was set to be approved by the Israeli Cabinet, has been put on hold as Netanyahu accused Hamas of reneging on parts of the agreement in an attempt to gain further concessions.

The ceasefire, brokered by U.S. President Joe Biden and key mediator Qatar, was expected to bring a temporary halt to the 15-month conflict in the Gaza Strip and facilitate the release of dozens of hostages held by Hamas. However, Netanyahu's office stated that the Cabinet would not convene to approve the agreement until Hamas backs down from its new demands.

Hamas, on the other hand, has denied the allegations, with senior official Izzat al-Rishq asserting that the militant group remains committed to the ceasefire agreement. The delay has raised concerns about the implementation of the deal, which was scheduled to go into effect on Sunday.

The conflict, which began with a surprise attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, has resulted in significant casualties on both sides. Israeli airstrikes have killed over 46,000 Palestinians, while Hamas' initial attack claimed the lives of approximately 1,200 Israelis. The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, with widespread displacement and shortages of essential supplies.

A Fragile Hope for Peace in Gaza

The coming days will be crucial in determining whether the ceasefire and hostage release agreement can be salvaged. As negotiations continue, the world watches with bated breath, hoping for a resolution that will bring much-needed relief to the war-torn region.
