The White House announced that Israel has approved a new Gaza ceasefire proposal aimed at Hamas, which is currently under review by the militant group. Despite ongoing negotiations, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening, with reports of starvation affecting one in five people and continued Israeli military operations resulting in civilian casualties. Tensions are heightened as aid distribution efforts face criticism and accusations of “systematic starvation tactics” from Jordan’s Foreign Minister, while the conflict’s toll has reached over 54,000 deaths since October 2023.
