Israel's war on besieged Gaza, now in its 205th day, has killed at least 34,454 Palestinians — 70 percent of them babies, children and women — and wounded over 77,575 while some 8,400 people are feared buried under the rubble of bombed buildings.Israel is bent on launching a ground offensive into Rafah, claiming that it is the last Hamas stronghold on the Palestinian territory.
According to the statement, Shoukry and Borrell were keen on “exchanging assessments and the results of their contacts with various regional and international parties to end the war in Gaza and put an end to the humanitarian tragedy experienced by the residents of the strip.” Israeli Channel 12 reported that the reservists said they didn’t feel able to take part in their duties.Despite international warnings about a planned Israeli invasion of Rafah, the Israeli army insists on going ahead with attacking the tiny city, which is home to more than 1.4 million displaced Palestinians.
The move comes despite efforts by mediators to reach a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas in the besieged Palestinian enclave. "It will take probably two to three weeks before we can really see an operation," White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Sunday on ABC News.A senior Hamas official told AFP that the Palestinian group would deliver its response to Israel's latest counterproposal for a Gaza ceasefire on Monday in Egypt.
