Israel’s military signaled it would intensify its campaign in Gaza as US President Donald Trump on Sunday called again for a ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas.
A top adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to travel to Washington this week for talks, but it’s unclear if any significant progress has been made toward a truce.
The renewed attention on Gaza came as Israel’s military faces heightened scrutiny after Haaretz reported that soldiers were instructed to fire at unarmed Palestinians near aid distribution sites; one called it a “killing field.” Israel’s government rejected the story, calling it “blood libel.”
