At least six civilians, including children, have been killed in a strike on a home in Rafah after intense fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian fighters continues in the northern and southern parts of Gaza.
A senior official claims that while ceasefire talks have not made any headway, Hamas is still prepared to “deal positively” with any proposal that includes a “permanent ceasefire.”
Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Arab League, and the European Union criticize Israel’s decision to legalize five settlements in light of a minister’s promise to bring “a million” new settlers into the occupied West Bank. Somewhere around 37,877 individuals have been killed and 86,969 injured in Israel’s conflict on Gaza since October 7. Israel’s death toll from Hamas-led attacks is estimated to be 1,139, and dozens of people remain imprisoned in Gaza.
