Israel Pushes Into Gaza City as Specialty Hospitals Shut and Western Allies Recognize Palestine

Israel faces mounting legal and diplomatic pressure, including genocide allegations and new recognitions of Palestinian statehood, as Hamas seeks a 60‑day truce tied to partial hostage releases.

Overview

  • Israel’s army said tanks from the 36th Division have entered Gaza City under “Operation Carros de Gedeón II” following weeks of intensified strikes.
  • Gaza’s Al Rantisi pediatric and St. John eye hospitals halted services, with health officials warning patients lack safe routes, as Palestinian deaths surpass 65,000 by UN‑cited figures.
  • France, the UK, Canada, Australia and Portugal joined other states in recognizing Palestine at the UN, deepening Israel’s isolation as Netanyahu faces far‑right demands to annex parts of the West Bank.
  • Mexico’s president and foreign minister denounced genocide at the UN, reaffirmed recognition of both Israel and a Palestinian state, and urged a durable two‑state path to end the war.
  • Hamas conveyed a proposal asking President Donald Trump to guarantee a 60‑day ceasefire in exchange for releasing half of the roughly 48 remaining hostages, according to Fox News and a Hamas source cited by EFE.
