Israeli Offensive Intensifies in Gaza City as MSF Suspends Work and Netanyahu Defends Campaign at UN

The offensive has now forced Médecins Sans Frontières to halt work in Gaza City, signaling a sharp deterioration in humanitarian access.

Overview

  • Rescue services in Gaza reported at least 22 people killed in the past 24 hours as the Israeli army said it struck more than 140 targets across the enclave.
  • MSF said its Gaza City clinics were encircled by Israeli forces and that escalating attacks created an unacceptable risk to staff, after conducting 3,640 consultations last week including 1,655 for malnutrition.
  • The Israeli military renewed evacuation orders for areas including the port and al-Rimal in Gaza City as residents described repeated displacement with few safe options.
  • At the UN, Benjamin Netanyahu rejected genocide accusations, vowed to “finish the job” against Hamas, and faced boos and walkouts from delegates during a highly choreographed address.
  • Netanyahu’s office arranged loudspeakers on trucks at the Gaza border to broadcast his speech, and public flight data showed his plane took a southerly route to New York despite French airspace approval, which Israeli media suggested was to avoid potential ICC risks.
