Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will assume full control of Gaza once the war ends. "Israel has a clear and just objective—to defeat Hamas. We are fully committed to achieving that goal," Netanyahu stated. He added that at least 20 Israeli hostages are believed to be alive in Gaza. "If a temporary ceasefire becomes necessary to secure the release of hostages, we are open to it," he noted. Netanyahu also outlined three immediate objectives: delivering essential aid to the region, establishing food distribution points with the help of U.S. companies, and creating a designated area to ensure civilian safety under Israeli security control.

France, the UK, and Canada have issued strong condemnations of Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza, urging an immediate end to new offensives. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had justified the assault as necessary to eliminate Hamas, rescue remaining hostages, and bring Gaza under full Israeli control. However, the three countries rejected this rationale and called for a ceasefire. They also criticized Netanyahu’s decision to allow only minimal humanitarian aid into Gaza, labeling it “entirely inadequate.” In response, Netanyahu accused London, Ottawa, and Paris of effectively rewarding the October 7 massacre in Israel and encouraging further atrocities.

Israeli airstrikes continue around the clock in Gaza—midnight to dawn, morning to evening—with no sign of letting up. In the past 24 hours, Israel has struck 160 targets, killing at least 144 people. On Monday alone, 30 airstrikes were launched within a single hour. By nightfall, the day's death toll had reached 46. The Israeli military has ordered civilians to evacuate Khan Younis, Gaza’s second-largest city, immediately. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated, “Israel will take full control of Gaza. To maintain international support, limited food aid will be allowed to prevent a humanitarian disaster.”

Facing intense pressure from the United States and widespread international criticism, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has allowed humanitarian aid into Gaza. Israeli authorities stated that the move, based on IDF recommendations, is essential for the ongoing war effort and aims to prevent a worsening hunger crisis in Gaza, which could jeopardize Israel’s objectives. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel will ensure the aid does not fall into Hamas’ hands.

The event, aligned with a past UN General Assembly resolution, aims to accelerate the two-state solution and explore mechanisms for formally establishing a Palestinian state. Zaki expressed hope that several countries would recognize Palestine during the conference, yielding significant political impact.

According to NBC News, following his Middle East tour, Donald Trump’s administration is planning to relocate one million Palestinians from Gaza to war-ravaged Libya. Though no agreement has yet been reached with the Libyan government, negotiations are underway. The US is considering incentives such as housing, scholarships, and financial aid. In return, Libya would receive access to billions in frozen assets. Hamas is reportedly unaware of the plan, but has condemned the idea.

At least 143 Palestinians were killed in a single day as Israel launched relentless attacks by air, land, and sea across Gaza.

The World Health Organization has reported that at least 57 children have died from starvation and malnutrition in Gaza since March 2, following the blockade on humanitarian aid. With 2.1 million residents, Gaza is now at “severe risk of famine.” WHO representative Richard Peeperkorn warned that without immediate access to nutritious food, clean water, and medical services, nearly 71,000 children under five could suffer from acute malnutrition within the next 11 months. Around 17,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women are also at high risk. Peeperkorn urged for the immediate lifting of the blockade to prevent irreversible damage to an entire generation.

Hamas has announced the planned release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander as part of renewed efforts to reach a ceasefire and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. While the 21-year-old's release date was not specified, the group emphasized the move was in goodwill to restart talks. Meanwhile, Gaza remains under a severe blockade by Israel, which has blocked aid, food, and medicine for over 70 days. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to visit Israel on Monday to further ceasefire discussions.

Hamas reported that its fighters killed 19 Israeli soldiers in Rafah’s eastern Al-Tannur neighborhood. Seven soldiers were reportedly killed in a bombing near the Omar Ibn Abdul Aziz Mosque.
