Smoke and flames rise during an Israeli air strike in central Gaza Strip on Jun 3, 2024. GAZA : Heavy fighting rocked Gaza on Tuesday after G7 and Arab powers urged both Israel and Hamas to agree to a truce andMediator Qatar said it had yet to see statements from either side"that give us a lot of confidence", but the foreign ministry said Doha was"working with both sides on proposals on the table".
Hamas, which has long ruled the Palestinian territory of 2.4 million people, said on Friday it viewed Biden's outline"positively". UN Middle East envoy Tor Wennesland also urged both sides to back the proposal, writing on X that"there is no alternative - and any delay, every day simply costs more lives".
The White House insisted on Monday that the truce plan was Israel's own and not drafted by Washington to put pressure on its key ally.However, Biden also took a swipe in an interview with Time magazine at Netanyahu, who is leading a shaky right-wing coalition government and has been fighting corruption claims in court.
Netanyahu's office said he told Macron that Israel's"fundamental objective", in addition to securing the hostages' release, was to eliminate Hamas, and that it was determined to do so. Israel's bombardment and ground offensive have killed at least 36,550 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry.
