GAZA STRIP: At least 50 Palestinians, including five aid seekers, have been killed and 184 injured in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, following the US proposal to stop the war in Gaza.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 66,055 people and wounded 168,346 since October 2023. Thousands more are believed to be buried under the rubble. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023 attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.
Red Crescent evacuates 190 patients from Gaza for urgent treatment abroad
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says it has evacuated 190 patients from the Gaza Strip for treatment, in coordination with the World Health Organization.
In a post on social media, it said; “early this morning, Red Crescent teams, in coordination with the World Health Organization, continued accompanying the patients until they reached the crossing, in preparation for their travel first to Jordan, and then to Britain and a number of European countries to complete their treatment. Among them are a number of cancer patients and those with serious injuries.
“This evacuation comes as part of a series of humanitarian operations managed by the World Health Organization in cooperation with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, in response to the catastrophic health conditions in the Gaza Strip, and to enable patients to obtain the treatment they have been deprived of inside the Strip due to the siege and lack of resources,” the PRCS said.
Displaced Palestinians have expressed hope that a meeting at the White House today between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump, due to begin at 11am local time (15:00 GMT), will result in a long-awaited ceasefire.
Israel’s military says it is deepening its offensive in Gaza City, where recent incursions have resulted in widespread devastation in residential neighborhoods. At least 23 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on the city since dawn today, hospital sources say, with six others killed elsewhere across the Strip.
Yemen’s Houthis say they have launched a hypersonic ballistic missile and two drones at targets in Israel.
An explosion at an Israeli military outpost in southern Syria has severely injured an Israeli reservist officer, the army says.
In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces have arrested at least 15 Palestinians, including a 14-year-old boy, and fired stun grenades and assaulted a man in early-morning raids. Meanwhile, Israeli settlers have continued to carry out aggressive actions, including chasing Palestinian shepherds off their land in the northern Jordan Valley. Israeli authorities’ push to impose new taxes on Christian institutions in occupied East Jerusalem has heightened tensions with the city’s churches, with reports of frozen Greek Orthodox Patriarchate bank accounts and foreclosure threats against the Armenian Patriarchate.
Ramallah-based political analyst Shireen Salti told media that she believes the tax dispute is a precursor to Israeli attempts to confiscate church property.
“This is about property confiscation and land dispossession,” she said and “these measures are not isolated, but part of a systematic policy to weaken and undermine the Christian presence in the Holy Land.”
Despite there being a governmental committee established to resolve such disputes, “Israeli authorities don’t seem to be interested in good-faith negotiations,” she said. (Int’l News Desk)
