Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected ceasefire proposals today, arguing it would still “leave Hamas intact”.
Negotiations held by Hamas for a pause in the fighting in return for the release of Israel i hostages are ongoing, though a deal currently seems a long way off.
“Throughout the negotiations, Israel demonstrated a willingness to go a long way, a long way that was described by US Secretary of State Blinken and others as extraordinarily generous. More than 34,600 Palestinians have been killed and more than 77,000 wounded in Israel's current military operation, according to Gaza's health ministry.
Nationals from Australia, Poland, the UK and a dual citizen of the US and Canada were killed, as well as a Palestinian who was driving the car they were all travelling in.
