On Sunday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in Israel, when her military attacks on northern Gaza increased, to flattens multiple buildings in reality and kill at least 13 Palestinians.
Rubio said before the trip that he would search for answers from Israeli officials on how to see the road forward in Gaza in the wake of Israel’s attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar on Tuesday, the efforts made to the mediator ended the conflict.
His two -day visit is also an offer to support Israel is increasingly isolated, as the United Nations General Assembly voted on Friday by an overwhelming majority in favor of a non -binding decision that supports a two -state solution to the Israeli and Palestinian conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly opposes recognition of a Palestinian state.
Rubio visits Israel despite the anger at the Qatar attack
Rubio’s visit moved forward despite US President Donald Trump’s anger at Netanyahu because of the Israeli strike in Doha, who said the United States had not been notified in advance.
On Sunday, Netanyahu, Rubio and their wives, with the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Hakapi and his wife, toured the western wall and the fossils near him.
Netanyahu said: “I think his visit (Rubio) here is a testament to durability, and the strength of the Israeli -American alliance. It is strong and permanent like the western wall stones that I just touched.”
On Friday, Rubio and Trump met the Prime Minister in Qatar to discuss the repercussions from the Israeli operation. Double successive meetings with Qatar and Israel explain how the Trump administration is trying to balance relations between the main Middle East allies despite the extensive international condemnation of the attack.
It appears that the Doha attack, which killed at least six people, has ended the ceasefire attempts in Israel and the hostage of the hostages before the next United Nations General Assembly session, which the Gaza war is expected to be a key axis.
Meanwhile, the ministers of foreign affairs from the Arab and Islamic countries had to meet in Doha on Sunday to form a unified front on the Israeli attack before a summit in Qatar on Monday that would bring leaders from their countries to the higher talks.
Mint air strikes
On Sunday, at least 13 Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured in multiple Israeli strikes throughout Gaza, according to local hospitals.
Local hospitals said that the Israeli strikes targeted a car near the Shiva and Dawar Hospital in Gaza City, as well as a tent in the city of Deir Pala, where at least six individuals of the same family were killed.
Killed parents, their three children and child labor in this strike, according to Al -Qadha Hospital. The family was from the northern town of Beit Hannon and arrived in Deir Al -Bala last week after fled a shelter in Gaza City.
The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the strikes.
According to the Israeli air strikes, two United Nations schools were struck, which led to a look at the Palestinians displaced in Gaza City on Friday. Local health authorities say at least 40 Palestinians were killed in the attack. The strikes come after repeated calls from the Israeli army for residents to leave the city.
As part of its expanding operations in Gaza City, the Israeli army destroyed multiple buildings throughout Sunday after the residents warned of the evacuation. Some were destroyed less than an hour after the online evacuation order was published by the military spokesman.
According to the army, Hamas has developed monitoring jobs and ways to collect intelligence around the movements of the forces in the area and were ready to strike the Israeli forces.
The residents said that the Cadath Tower in the Rimal neighborhood was settled on the ground. There were no immediate reports on losses.
“This is part of the genocide to the (Israeli) occupation in Gaza City,” said Abed Ismail, a resident of Gaza City. “They want to convert the entire city into ruins, forcing transportation, and another.”
Nakba, Arabic, refers to a “disaster”, a period in which about 700,000 Palestinians were expelled by the Israeli forces or fled their homes in what is now known to Israel, before and during the 1948 war that surrounds its creation.
Israel strongly denied the accusations of genocide in Gaza.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz wrote on the social media platform X: “The Gaza horizon is changing,” as he presented footage of the strikes that destroyed one of the buildings.
Hunger in Gaza
Separately, two Palestinian adults died for reasons related to malnutrition and hunger in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, according to the Ministry of Health in the region on Sunday.
The ministry said that this brings the number of deaths from the causes related to malnutrition to 277 since late June, when the ministry began to calculate deaths between adults, while 145 other children died due to malnutrition since the beginning of the war in October 2023.
The Israeli Defense Authority, which supervises humanitarian aid in Gaza, said that more than 1,200 trucks carry, in the first place, Gaza, entered Gaza during the past week. But human workers say that the aid in Gaza is very insufficient to meet the enormous needs of the region.
The international teams also ended the repair work on the water line from Israel to Gaza, one of three water lines in the region, which increased the daily amount of water to 14,000 cubic meters.
For 23 months since Israel launched its attack, access to waters in Gaza was gradually limited, and the Palestinians now bear another burning summer in wartime. Parents and children often chase water trucks that come every two or three days, fill bottles, pirates and bulldozers and then transfer them home.
The war began in Gaza when the militants led by Hamas stormed in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, where they kidnapped 251 people and killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, according to the Israeli return. There are 48 remaining hostages in Gaza, 20 of whom are believed by Israel to be alive.
The retaliation of Israel has killed at least 64,871 Palestinians, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, which does not say the number of civilians or fighters. It says that about half of the dead were women and children. A lot of pocket was completely destroyed, and about 90 percent of about two million Palestinians were displaced.
