“Enterprises are no longer satisfied with AI that’s merely smart, they need AI that people actually connect with,” said Danny Tomsett, CEO and Founder of UneeQ. “Digital humans make automation feel personal. They help brands become more relatable. And most importantly, they give employees a safe place to practice conversations that matter. Our growth across the Middle East shows that emotionally intelligent AI is ready for global scale and North America is quickly adopting.”

UneeQ’s newly launched Immersive Training Platform, built on the Digital Human Operating System, is redefining how organizations develop soft skills and communication capabilities. Employees can rehearse challenging conversations, customer interactions, coaching sessions, sensitive disclosures, and more inside lifelike simulations powered by empathetic, autonomous digital humans. These experiences deliver real-time feedback, natural conversation, and the realism required for performance improvement.

For companies, the impact is tangible:

UneeQ’s 2026 North American expansion will focus on industries where trust, communication, and human connection directly impact outcomes, including customer service, brand experience, healthcare, education, and workforce development.

“We’ve shown that digital humans can strengthen the relationships that matter most between brands and customers, and between employees and the people they serve,” added Tomsett. “Our goal now is to make digital humans an everyday part of how organizations support customers, train teams, and build meaningful relationships. Digital humans are for real people and their real interactions.”

With more than a decade of pioneering work and a rapidly growing global customer base, UneeQ is defining a new AI category that blends emotional intelligence, immersive learning, and scalable digital engagement unlocking stronger human performance at scale.

JERUSALEM (AP) — A Hamas leader on Tuesday threatened to not move forward into the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement until more pressure is placed on Israel to open up a key border crossing, cease deadly strikes and allow more aid into the Palestinian territory.

The accusation came as Israel’s government says it’s ready to move into the next, more complicated phase of the ceasefire deal – even as it has called on the militant group to return the remains of the last Israeli hostage held in Gaza.

Husam Badran, a member of Hamas' political wing, called for the “full implementation of all the terms of the first phase” before moving forward, including an end to what he called the continuing demolition of Palestinian homes in the part of the territory still controlled by Israel.

Israel’s military operations in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 376 Palestinians since the ceasefire took hold on Oct. 10, according to Palestinian health officials.

Hamas has very little leverage in negotiations and could come under heavy pressure from other regional leaders like Qatar and Turkey to not pump the brakes on the fragile truce.

Israel has also accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire. It has defended its strikes as a response to attacks against its soldiers or people getting too close to a line established in the ceasefire, though a number of the people killed have been women and children and some strikes have occurred in the “safe zone," according to Palestinian health officials.

As a humanitarian crisis continues in Gaza, the United Nations and other aid organizations said that not nearly enough aid is entering the territory.

Hamas' comments come as the U.S.-led plan outlining the future for the devastated territory has gained momentum in recent weeks.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel and Hamas are “very shortly expected to move into the second phase of the ceasefire,” after Hamas returns the remains of the last hostage held in Gaza. Though it appears that militants have struggled to find the remains, and Hamas has said the destruction by Israeli strikes in Gaza have been an obstacle in their search.

Meanwhile, officials have said that an international body tasked with governing the Gaza Strip in the next phase of the ceasefire is expected to be announced by the end of the year.

Qatar’s prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, said on Saturday the Gaza ceasefire has reached a “critical moment”.

The initial 2023 Hamas-led attack on southern Israel killed around 1,200 people while 251 were taken hostage. Almost all of the hostages or their remains have been returned in ceasefires or other deals.

Gaza’s Health Ministry says the Palestinian toll has topped 70,365. Its count does not distinguish between militants and civilians, but the ministry says roughly half of those killed have been women and children. The ministry operates under the Hamas-run government. It is staffed by medical professionals and maintains detailed records viewed as generally reliable by the international community.
