Israel Intensifies Gaza City Assault as MSF Halts Care and Gaza Death Toll Tops 66,000

UN walkouts signal Netanyahu's growing isolation, with Washington preparing a new cease-fire plan.

Overview

  • UN officials report airstrikes in Gaza City every eight to nine minutes as Israel says it hit more than 140 targets and ordered fresh evacuations, with thousands fleeing.
  • Médicos Sin Fronteras suspended medical operations in Gaza City, saying its clinics are surrounded and staff face unacceptable risk, while hospitals struggle with severe shortages.
  • Gaza’s Health Ministry says the death toll has risen to more than 66,000 since October 2023, with vast destruction, mass displacement and deepening humanitarian need.
  • At the UN, Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a Palestinian state and denied genocide allegations as dozens of delegations walked out, while large protests took place in Berlin and a smaller march occurred in New York.
  • The White House plans talks Monday between President Donald Trump and Netanyahu as U.S.-led cease-fire ideas circulate that would include releasing 48 hostages and a phased Israeli pullout, according to Arab officials, with about 20 hostages believed alive.
