Escalation in Israel-Hamas Conflict Amid International Calls for Ceasefire

Palestine, State of
Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has rejected calls for a ceasefire, stating that it would only be possible if all hostages held by militants in Gaza are released.
The joint Islamic-Arab summit in Riyadh urged the International Criminal Court to investigate 'war crimes and crimes against humanity that Israel is committing' in the Palestinian territories.
The ongoing Israel-Hamas war continues to escalate with increasing hostilities around Al-Shifa Hospital, according to Doctors Without Borders.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, with mounting international pressure on Israel to protect Palestinian civilians in Gaza. The situation around Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza is particularly tense, with Doctors Without Borders reporting that ambulances are unable to collect the injured due to non-stop bombardment. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza describes the situation as a 'complete siege' of the hospital. However, Israel's army denies claims it was firing at or laying siege to the hospital.

In the midst of the conflict, pro-Palestinian demonstrations have taken place in London, Brussels, Paris, and the US. Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah addressed the situation in Gaza and clashes on the Lebanon-Israel border, accusing the US of 'administering' the Israeli operation in Gaza.

Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has rejected calls for a ceasefire, stating that it would only be possible if all hostages held by militants in Gaza are released. The Israeli leader also insisted that after the war, Gaza would be demilitarized and Israel would retain security control there.

Meanwhile, the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency is seeking $481 million for Gaza due to 'unprecedented devastation' and growing needs in the occupied West Bank. Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries have called for an immediate end to military operations in Gaza, rejecting Israel's justification of its actions against Palestinians as self-defence. The joint Islamic-Arab summit in Riyadh urged the International Criminal Court to investigate 'war crimes and crimes against humanity that Israel is committing' in the Palestinian territories.

The leaders demanded that the UN Security Council adopt 'a decisive and binding resolution' to halt Israel's 'aggression' in Gaza. The summit also called for an end to the siege on Gaza, allowing humanitarian aid into the enclave and halting Israeli aggression.
