Overview

• The IDF shut the Salah al-Din road to southbound traffic and told Gaza City residents to evacuate via Al-Rashid, warning of “force without precedent.”
• Israel’s expanded ground and air assault on Gaza City has driven hundreds of thousands to flee in recent weeks, with Gaza’s Health Ministry reporting more than 65,000 dead since the war began.
• Israel halted all Jordan-to-Gaza aid convoys through the Allenby crossing after a humanitarian truck driver opened fire, killing two Israeli soldiers.
• The UN General Assembly voted 145–5 to allow Palestine to address next week’s session by videoconference, a day after the United States vetoed a Security Council ceasefire resolution.
• France and several allied governments say they will recognize a Palestinian state during the UN gathering, signaling a coordinated push for a two-state pathway despite U.S. resistance.
