Why it matters:
The Israeli heavly attack on gaza showed that the so-called ceasfire in Gaza brokered by the U.S. does no longer work.
What he's saying:
The president defended Israel’s actions, asserting that it has “the right to retaliate,” and warned that “if Hamas does not act properly, it will be eliminated.” He also described Hamas as “a small part of the Middle East agreement,” downplaying its role in regional diplomacy.
President Donald Trump told Reuters that Israeli airstrikes on Gaza “will not undermine” the ceasefire agreement backed by Washington. He insisted that “nothing will threaten the ceasefire in Gaza,” despite the escalating violence.
On the ground:
At least 63 Palestinians, including 24 children, have been killed in recent Israeli airstrikes, according to hospital sources cited by Al Jazeera.
Kuwait Hospital reported three deaths in a strike on tents west of Khan Younis.
Nasser Medical Complex confirmed eight fatalities, including three children, in Al-Mawasi.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital reported four deaths in Deir al-Balah.
Additional casualties were recorded in Al-Bureij, Al-Nuseirat, and the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City.
What to watch:
Medical teams in Gaza have warned that the death toll may rise as rescue efforts continue under heavy bombardment. The humanitarian crisis is deepening, raising concerns among international observers about civilian protection and the future of the ceasefire.
