Israeli air strike killed 500 Palestinians and wounded hundreds of others at the Al Ahli Arab Hospital, sparking global outrage as the conflict rages on its 12th day.
Twelve Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a house in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza.
Answering questions raised by opposition members of the parliament at the House of Commons, Sunak said Israel has a"right to defend itself, to protect its people and to act against terrorism and ensure that the awful attack we've seen from Hamas cannot happen again." Bou Habib speaking at a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, warned against sparking tensions"that could lead to an uncontainable escalation".Israel's military said it was responding to shots fired at its military posts in the area of Zarit along the Lebanon border.
"The death toll of the largest and most violent massacre committed by the criminal Israeli occupation inside the Baptist Hospital reached 471 martyrs, and 28 critical cases remain, in addition to 314 people with various injuries," the ministry said in a statement.Palestinian protesters took to the streets in the occupied West Bank, condemning Israel for a strike on a hospital in war-torn Gaza that killed hundreds.
Despite strong denials from the Israeli army, which has blamed a misdirected Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket for the hospital deaths, the Jordanian government has said Israel"bears responsibility for this grave incident".- Humanity left shaken by Israel's massacre at Al Ahli Arab Hospital in GazaThousands of pro-Palestinian protesters rallied in Tunisia outside the French embassy, decrying Western support for Israel and condemning the deadly Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital.
The meetings came ahead of an extraordinary meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Saudi Arabia focusing on the ongoing crisis in Gaza, especially the actions of the Israeli military. But Netanyahu told Biden:"As we proceed in this war, Israel will do everything it can to keep civilians out of harm's way."We have asked them and we'll continue to ask them to move to safer areas. We will continue to work with you, Mr. President, to assure that the minimum requirements are met," Netanyahu said.
"Talks, work on the prisoner swap continue. There are talks and meetings held through intelligence units, but, in the heat of the first days, it was not possible to create a framework for this," Fidan told representatives from Turkish media this week, according to the state-run Anadolu news agency.
"I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday," Biden said at a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the morning after the blast that killed at least 500 Palestinians according to Gaza authorities. Hananya Naftali, an aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, deleted his social media posts confirming Israel had struck Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Palestine’s Gaza, killing at least 500 Palestinians
"The number of martyrs in Gaza exceeds 3,300 Palestinians, while the number of injured is more than 13,000," Health Minister Mai al Kaila said at a press conference in Ramallah, adding that these are estimated numbers due to the dire situation in Gaza as a result of continued Israeli bombardment. "Every second we wait to get medical aid in, we lose lives," he added."We need immediate access to start delivering life-saving supplies."Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el Sisi has said that forced displacement of Palestinians cannot be implemented.
The Israeli military said on Wednesday that humanitarian aid would be made available to Palestinians who flee Gaza City southward but did not immediately provide details on whether or how such aid would be brought into the enclave. France has also urged its citizens to avoid travel to Lebanon, while several Western airlines have suspended flights.
The summit will be held"when the decision to stop the war and put an end to these massacres has been taken," said Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi.
