Israel's war on besieged Gaza, now in its 219th day, has killed at least 35,034 people — 70 percent of them babies, children and women — and wounded over 78,755.A Geneva-based rights group has said that Israeli forces used three Palestinian children as"human shields" during their raid on the Tulkarm refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank on May 5 and 6.
More than 2,500 people have been detained so far in protests in which the police intervened at the request of the administrations at many universities in the US.An all-out Israeli offensive on the Gaza city of Rafah would provoke"anarchy" without eliminating Hamas, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
"Hamas has taken a truly critical step towards a permanent ceasefire. The response of the Netanyahu administration, however, was to attack the innocents in Rafah," said Erdogan during his speech at the World Muslim Scholars Consultation Summit in Istanbul. It also urged all countries"to sever relations with the occupation, isolate it internationally, and seek to bring its leaders to accountability over their systematic crimes against children and people in the Gaza Strip."US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said Israel lacks a"credible plan" to protect some 1.4 million Palestinian civilians in Rafah and warns that an Israeli attack could create an insurgency in the southern Gaza city.
US Central Command Commander Michael Erik Kurilla met with Israeli Chief of General Staff Herzi Halevi over the weekend. Hamas said it has shown flexibility during all rounds of negotiations to reach a ceasefire deal in Gaza. The UK government rebuffed calls to follow the US lead in halting some arms sales to Israel if it proceeds with a major ground operation in Rafah, the southern Gaza city home to 1.4 million refugees., expressed his opposition to Israel's plans of an invasion in Rafah but emphasised that ceasing arms sales would"make Hamas stronger."

Even rescue workers are not spared in the bombing, he said, adding that all the hospitals in northern Gaza are out of service.Yoram Hamo, an Israeli official in charge of defence policy and strategic planning at the National Security Council, has resigned, public broadcaster KAN has reported.
“Wasn't Gaza turned into an open-air prison not only after Oct. 7 but also for years beforehand? Weren't the people there condemned to limited resources for years, almost like a concentration camp? Who is responsible for the most brutal and systematic mass killings in Gaza after Oct. 7?” At least one Palestinian was killed and another injured by Israeli army gunfire during a raid into the Balata refugee camp in the eastern city of Nablus, occupied West Bank.
"I repeat my call, the world's call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages and an immediate surge in humanitarian aid. But a ceasefire will only be the start. It will be a long road back from the devastation and trauma of this war," Guterres said in a video address to an international donors' conference in Kuwait.
"We continue to urge Israel not to go ahead w/ a ground operation in Rafah. This would further exacerbate an already dire humanitarian crisis.”Israeli Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi criticised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for lacking a government strategy on who will govern Gaza after Tel Aviv ends its onslaught and for leading the military to reattack certain areas, according to media reports.
"I pledge to you, I swear to you, we will continue to work until that happens. This government will fall, this government will not last, we will send them home!" he added. Hundreds gathered in the northern province of Al-Jawf to show support for Gaza amid ongoing Israeli attacks, according to Houthi-runCarrying Palestinian flags, demonstrators protested against Israel's assaults.
