Israel says it would consider "tactical little pauses" in fighting to allow for aid and the release of hostages, but has rejected calls for a ceasefire, while Israel's neighbour Jordan says "all options" are on the table.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel would consider "tactical little pauses" in the fighting in Gaza to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid or allow the exit of hostages held by Hamas militants.
In a separate incident, the ministry said an 18-year-old Palestinian was later killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank city of Bethlehem. "We continue to believe that it is important for all sides of this conflict to refrain from hateful rhetoric," deputy US State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel told a briefing.
A spokesperson for Hamas, an Islamist group that advocates Israel's destruction, said Eliyahu represented "unprecedented criminal Israeli terrorism constitutes a danger to the entire region and the world".United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says the organisations needs $US1.2 billion to help deliver aid to 2.7 million people in Gaza and the West Bank.
The United Nations last week said more than one border crossing was needed to deliver aid to the besieged Gaza Strip and Kerem Shalom — controlled by Israel — is the only one equipped to take enough trucks.Dozens of foreign passport holders and some medical evacuees have passed through the Rafah crossing from Gaza into Egypt after a two-day suspension of evacuations, according to three Egyptian security sources.
The ICRC said it had escorted a four-ambulance convoy of patients from al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City to the Rafah border on Monday."Dave's a good bloke, he was a good ambassador in Israel … but he's running for a Liberal Party preselection, so I can understand why he's saying that in that context, but no," he said.
"We must act now to find a way out of this brutal, awful, agonising dead end of destruction," Guterres told reporters, and again called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. Those conversations come as more Americans are expected to exit Gaza and more aid enters the territory, Kirby said. Last week Jordan recalled its ambassador and announced that Israel's ambassador, who left Amman shortly after Hamas' attack, would not be allowed to come back, effectively declaring him persona non grata."The brutal Israeli attack does not discriminate between civilian and military targets and is extending to safe areas and ambulances," he said.
Israel says it "coordinated" with Jordan on the drop and that the aid "will be used by the medical staff for patients," and also includes food. The Q+A panel last night discussed international calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, compared to the "humanitarian pause" sought by the government. "We are doctors, in our nature, and what you are asking us to do with a humanitarian pause is to bring in the equipment necessary to stitch people up and repair them, and then to start the bombing again, and for us to then fix them," Ms Tierney said.The operator of the Indonesia hospital in Gaza has denied accusations that its facility has been used by Hamas to launch attacks.
Israel's military spokesperson on Sunday claimed one satellite image had shown rocket launchers located across the street from the Indonesian hospital. Families have set up tents in a square opposite the Israel Defense Force headquarters in Tel Aviv, promising to sleep there until their relatives are safe.
There are a mix of views amongst the families about the response of the Israeli government and military. Chief IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, asked about those reports during a briefing with reporters, said: "We didn't attack, to the best of my knowledge, solar panels in the Shifa hospital."
"That means these civilians, these Palestinian civilians, it's not their fault. It's shameful. What we're seeing is very difficult too."Palestinians in Gaza emerged on Monday morning local time, after what residents said was one of the heaviest nights of Israeli bombardment since the war began a month ago.
