Israeli Military and Biden Disagree on Steps to Peace After Hamas Attack; Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis Deepens Amid Fuel Shortages
Israel continues air strikes as ground invasion of Gaza is delayed amid international diplomatic efforts and hostage negotiations; humanitarian crisis worsens with fuel ban.
- The Israeli military conducted a ‘targeted raid’ in northern Gaza, describing this as a preparation for next stages in combat, which is expected to result in a significant death toll.
- Benjamin Netanyahu has signaled he will be accountable for Israeli security failures leading to Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, but only after the conflict ends.
- Hamas is reportedly blocking Gazans from evacuating the northern region of the Strip, according to a man speaking with IDF officers on recorded audio.
- Hamas has allegedly been hoarding fuel, exacerbating Gaza's humanitarian crisis and preventing aid organizations from functioning effectively. Israel has been withholding fuel as part of its strategy against Hamas
- Efforts are being made to negotiate the release of over 200 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. Biden administration advised Israel to delay its ground invasion to allow more time for these negotiations and humanitarian aid deliveries.
- The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees warns it may have to shut down operations if fuel is not delivered to Gaza in the coming days, amidst an increasingly desperate need for shelter, water, food and medical services.
