The ongoing Israel-Hamas war has seen a series of developments in recent days. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been in Jordan for talks on the conflict and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He met with Arab foreign ministers and officials from Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Qatar, and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Blinken emphasized the need to prevent escalation, protect Palestinians, and increase aid to Gaza. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded that Israel would not agree to a temporary truce without the release of hostages taken by Hamas.

Meanwhile, Iran, which has pledged to destroy Israel for over four decades, now faces a decision on whether to live up to its rhetoric or risk igniting a broader regional war. Iran's officials are publicly signaling they do not want a full-scale war.

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned the United States that preventing a regional conflict depended on stopping the Israeli attack on Gaza. Nasrallah said Hezbollah attacks so far at the border 'won't be all' it does, adding that escalation on that front would hinge on events in Gaza and Israeli actions towards Lebanon.

The war has had a disproportionate impact on newborns, women, and children in Gaza, as stated by several United Nations aid agencies. The agencies have called for an immediate humanitarian pause to prevent the situation from becoming catastrophic. The US anticipates a shift in Israel's tactics in the coming days, with a decrease in the scale of its air campaign and a focus on a more tactical ground operation.

In a tragic incident, an Israeli attack on an ambulance convoy near Gaza's largest hospital, al-Shifa, resulted in the death of 15 people, according to the health ministry.
