STORYLINE:
Protesters gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday for a weekly demonstration demanding a ceasefire in the war with Hamas and a comprehensive deal to release the remain captives in the enclave
Israel’s defense minister has warned that Gaza City could be destroyed in a new military operation perhaps just days away, even as famine spreads there.
Many Israelis fear the assault on Gaza City could doom the 20 hostages who are believed to have survived since Hamas’ attack on southern Israel in 2023 which triggered the war.
Another 30 are thought to be dead.
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis protested a week ago for a deal to end the fighting and bring everyone home.
Ceasefire efforts are on hold as mediators await Israel’s next steps.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday he had ordered officials to begin immediate negotiations to free the hostages and end the war on Israel’s terms.
It is unclear whether Israel will return to the talks mediated by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar after Hamas said earlier this week it had accepted a new proposal from Arab mediators.
Hamas said it would release the hostages in exchange for an end to the war, but rejects disarmament without the creation of a Palestinian state.
US President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Hamas’s stance and suggested the group was less interested in making deals to free the hostages with so few of them still alive.
The Gaza Health Ministry said at least 62,622 Palestinians have died in the war, including missing persons whose deaths have been confirmed by a special judicial committee within the ministry.
The number of malnutrition-related deaths rose by eight to 281, the ministry said.
