Work continues on a maritime aid corridor to Gaza, as United Nations officials warn sea and air drops are not enough in the face of looming famine. In the US, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has urged Israel to hold elections to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Work continues on a maritime aid corridor to Gaza, as United Nations officials warn sea and air drops are not enough in the face of looming famine. As Mr Netanyahu's administration again rejects international pressure for a two-state solution, the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank appoints a new prime minister.
As the number of malnutrition deaths in Gaza since then approaches 30, Israeli Defence Forces aid coordinator Colonel Elad Goren says land distribution of aid remains "doable". He told the Senate Mr Netanyahu's rejection of the two-state solution and inclusion of far-right ministers makes him an "obstacle to peace".
But he called on Israel to take additional action to stop settler violence, as he announced sanctions on three people accused of undermining stability in the occupied West Bank. This comes after Mr Netanyahu told troops he had been "pushing away" international pressure against a widely condemned offensive on Rafah, where over a million displaced people are sheltering.
This comes after police say a man was stabbed and critically wounded in southern Israel, and the alleged attacker, who they say grew up in Gaza, shot dead.
